Good on them! More power to their elbow I say! About time Thai "democracy" and "freedom of speech" was questioned again ????

As this is operable from today, does that mean that only those who had the incredible gift of prediction and downloaded the app 14 days ago can enter Chang Mai by air?

which is expected to take place on Sunday, May 17.

 

Come on make your mind up, is it the end of this week, or Sunday which is the start of next week!!!

This is great news indeed! Wildlife is so important and necessary in this fractured world.  Going back to nature by closing the parks for at least 3 months a year, say from March to June will allow the natural flora and fauna of the parks, both on land and at sea to rejuvenate and increase.  I just hope that this opportunity is not lost in the pursuit of money!

The Department of Irrigation is drawing up a water management plan for rice and other farming during the rainy season.

Why do they leave everything to the last minute!  Surely they should have a 5 year plan already drawn up.  How difficult is it?   There is a rainy season nearly every year, followed by a dry season.  There should be plans drawn up and contingencies for large amounts or small amounts of rain, long dry (drought) conditions, or short periods of dryness!  They should know exactly how much rain is needed and in which areas.  Weather can be unpredictable we all know that so have plans drawn up for every eventuality.  What are taxpayers paying the Department of Irrigation for!!!!

The victim was a popular man with his neighbors and his death was bad for the image of Thailand said 77kaoded, thus prompting a full police investigation.

 

Does this mean that if the victim was unpopular, and not bad for the image of Thailand, they would not bother to investigate?!!

Aha, now at last we have the figure for the number of tests carried out to date.

The government aims to reach a total of 400,000 tests from the current level of around 230,000, said Taweesin Wisanuyothin, a spokesman for the government's Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration.

 

"This is about 6,000 tests for every million individual ... and considered a moderate amount globally," Taweesin said.

 

230,000 in 107 days since 21st January!  Low number of tests = low number of positives = low number of cases.  Maybe???????

 It is widely known and publicized that travel to other provinces requires quarantine for 14 days.

But not all provinces!!! That is the point! Each of the 76 Provinces in Thailand have their own set of rules and guidelines! It would seem that the ridiculous Thai Government has divested itself of all responsibility and allowed the tin pot Governors in each province to make it up as they go along!  As far as I can see, there is no central database where people can go to check out the rules of each governor.  Someone in Government needs to take control!!!

Someone should arrest those in the photo (and many other photos) for not social distancing.

Also, the tin man is doing everything that we have been told not to do! Never touch your mask or your face when it is in place, remove it using the ear straps. Always wear your mask correctly, over your nose and mouth!  But, but, but I am the PM and rules don't apply to me, I am immune from the State of Emergency because I called it!

Its because it was a holiday yesterday! I still cannot understand how the 40 out of 78 in the deep south who tested positive, twice, yesterday, can now just disappear from the stats!

I thought that all shops had to enforce "social distancing" or they would be closed down!  These people pushing and jostling for position are just animals! No distancing, no manners, no thought for others! Sometimes I despair of the human race ????

This is so sad! What is wrong with people? A few days without alcohol and they go crazy! There are so many more tasty and healthy drinks available! 

I find it sad that a previous thread announcing the lifting of the alcohol ban attracted 13 pages of comments, however, really important news about the ozone layer and the rejuvenating of nature in National Parks barely mustered a handful of comments!  I choose not to drink alcohol, but I am appalled by the number of people on this forum who see it as the only reason to live! Alcohol does not make the world go round! (unless you drink too much of course).
