    Talking points and outcomes of the seminar will be considered in the move by the government to pursue road safety policies, in line with a national reform plan on road safety.

     

    Yada yada yada ladida... talking points. That's all it will be. And another useless photo op. While the carnage continues outside, unabated. This 'seminar' on road accidents in Thailand is about as useful as a seminar against drug and substance abuse organised by drug lords.

    ... there has been much fake news created by people who want to see the country damaged.

     

    I wholeheartedly agree. It has to stop. First to go should be agencies like the National News Bureau of Thailand (NNT).

    I doubt many of your Chinese paymasters can read English. Consider writing this '打開' (assuming Google Translate is correct). It's a little more complicated than 'O-P-E-N', so try not to have an accident while doing it yeah.

  4. Why do Thai officials keep harping about the somewhat non-existent 'returning foreign visitors and tourists'? If one wanted a real holiday, I doubt a 14-day quarantine plus having one's whereabouts electronically monitored and logged thereafter sounds like a good agenda. Even if someone had that kind of time and money to spend, I doubt Thailand would be the first destination of choice. The kinds of hoops, loops and conditions visitors are subjected to, make falling down a flight of stairs sound like a more enjoyable adventure.

     

    Alternatively, why don't the authorities do more to spur and stimulate local tourism? It's not like the Thais can go anywhere now anyway, so why not encourage them to travel domestically and keep the local economy going? Even if transactions from domestic tourism don't match pre-CVD19 levels when the country was open to all and sundry, it is still better than nothing!

    The prime minister will visit Phuket on Monday...

     

    Not sure a visit by the enlightened one is going to bring even a sliver of relieve to Phuket's woes, if at all any. Probably just going to end up with lots of picture opportunities, forces smiles for cameras, some idiot blithering about how 2021 will become a record year, and that's that.

     

    Why general sir, the heat is too much in BKK and the good general needs to cool it down a bit eh, hence Phuket?
