A clueless move. See what other countries have done and give up the tired old ideas that haven't worked in the past.

A mask is as effective as an amulet in relieving one of their income.

An admirable gesture, but insignificant in the bigger picture of corruption, neglect and malfeasance.

And which perfect universe do you hail from?

You comment is both speculative and complete with a derogatory term. I suppose those who drink alcohol are all "drunkerds".

It is doubtful that no tourists are concerned about 330 baht, but then again I've not spoken to any of the concerned parties, so my comment has little merit.

A cross section may be seeing more patrons, but what is the overall picture? I agree. Perhaps they could show Pattaya Tree Town, Soi Buakeow watering holes and the ghosts of others not so fortunate.

Like so many things here, it is all an illusion. Police work is not about appearances, but measured by performance, and not the kind the sickos will chime in about.

Alcohol, corruption and the lack of mobile traffic patrols are main factors contributing to roadway deaths. Legalization of marijuana and roadway deaths attributed to it remains to be researched. Saying it will is hardly measurable.

With the flip-flops, contradictory talking-heads and hysteria, I am not planning anything short of a trip to Big C here in town.

I don't live for acceptance or validation by others. I live in peace, and its close cousins named tolerance and acceptance. Being kind works in harmony with those three virtues. Eight years being retired here and it's one day at a time.

The mainstream news about RTP misconduct and crimes commited is proof enough that something is amiss.

Much of this Land of Smiles is an illusion.

Sounds like you should apply to run this country...into the ground that is.

I don't need restaurants for food and too bad the hysteria has gotten this far...again.

The "authorities" and media need only look in the mirror to determine the real threat to humanity.

Not really. Seemingly there are plenty of wrinkly farangs over 50 who may be interested, particularly those who post to the contrary. ????

What is the research and science to support all this? Well why not expand this insanity to include no leaving your abode except for two hours per day, and only within a 2 km radius? It's all knee jerk governing by decree, slowly eroding civil liberties based on pseudo-science and star-studded whim.

"I must promote my achievements, regardless of who I hurt in the process".

All metals can burn at high enough temperatures.

The major problem is tge endemic corruption. It infects more virulently than any virus and permeates Thai culture, from the top on down. Laws? They are only for the poor and defenseless.

The next variant will get similar alarm bells and hysteria. I have yet to see the dead lining the streets. Yes, deaths have occured, but did these people die "from" or "with" Covid? If you belief every statistic or announcement from government or self-appointed experts, I suggest doing some critical investigation.

One of your best! Enjoyable, informative, with just the right amount of spiciness and lime juice into the eyes of those deserving such. Bravo!

How many years has this regime had to solve this problem? Add the poor air quality, astounding traffic deaths, police and general corruption and so forth. Talk talk, committees, photo ops, decrees, warning, bogus statistics. Nothing changes except the weather.

More fuel for government and media hysteria.
