Yes but more people will die of poverty/starvation/depression/suicide from these measures than from covid. 

 Very true they need to act soon as the lady said covid is not going away as for the vaccine nothing is certainly guaranteed yet get people tested  before and on arrival isolation for 5 days to see for result it’s that simple

Was he wearing the absolute best helmet he could afford? Granted, this sounds like a horrific wreck, and it is likely it would not have saved his life. But, she appears to be without one. And in many cases it does save a life. Skulls are very fragile. 

 

My heart goes out to this woman. That is tragic and devastating. My advice to anyone driving a bike here?

 

If driving, especially on a motorbike, treat the activity as an act of war, in a sense that you may be mowed down or killed at any moment. 

 

Maintain eyes in the back of your head. Watch everyone. Expect craziness, insanity, lack of reason, and a complete lack of courtesy and respect on the roads, at all times.

 

Expect cars and trucks to be coming at you in the wrong lane. Expect people to overtake you with the slimmest of margins. Expect trucks to be driving very slowly in the fast lane of a highway.

If riding a motorbike, only do so if you have many years of experience. Treat the activity as an act of war, in a sense that you may be mowed down or killed at any moment.
Maintain eyes in the back of your head. Watch everyone. Expect craziness, insanity, lack of reason, and a complete lack of courtesy and respect on the roads, at all times.
Expect cars and trucks to be coming at you in the wrong lane. Expect people to overtake you with the slimmest of margins. Especially on the southern islands, where huge numbers of foreigners leave Thailand in a wooden box. Wear the best helmet you can afford. And drive like a grandmother. This applies to ex-pats too. Bring along an international drivers license. This helps you to avoid being fleeced by the local police franchisee.

 

Getting on a scooter, or a motorcycle anywhere in Thailand, much less Phuket, Phangan, Dark Tao, or Samui without a very good helmet, is like playing Russian Roulette with three or four bullets in the chamber. It is absolutely asking for problems. The degree of recklessness here is astounding. And many foreigners come here thinking "how much trouble could I get in on a little scooter, on a tropical island"? Well, the answer is alot. The amount of foreigners who are killed on the Southern islands is staggering. Most are not reported in the media. I had a friend who worked for Samui rescue for many years, and said the numbers were about 30-60 a month, on Samui, Phangan and Koh Tao. The official number is about 3 a month. Rider beware. Use as good a helmet as you can afford, and do not use these eggshells pieces of garbage. They crack at the first impact, and what lies underneath them? Your skull, which is very delicate.

Just ask yourself- do I have enough problems already, without a broken skull, or smashed head, or face injury, or lost eye? I have two friends who have been in motorbike accidents on Samui within the last two years. One still cannot walk, or talk or function on her own, from a motorbike accident, where she hit her head on the pavement going only 20 kph. The other one has lost alot of his mental capacity after hitting his head. He insisted for years he would never wear a helmet. Now, he seems 15 years older.

• Road deaths are now calculated based on fatalities on-site. Victims dying later in hospital not counted.
• In 2000 there was an average of 30 deaths a month on Koh Samui (official figures released each month).
• Now it is stated that Koh Samui has 3-5 deaths each month (using the new way of reporting road deaths).
• In the last ten years the population has almost doubled and there are now 5x more vehicles on Koh Samui.
• Based on ‘official figures’ today it is possible to estimate that Koh Samui currently has 60 deaths per million per year. (Compared to 23 in London.) Based on the population and traffic density statistics from 10 years ago Koh Samui has in reality 720 deaths per million per year. This is probably the highest rate of road deaths in the world. Samui is a fatality death spot that nobody is willing to acknowledge!
 

It is a real shame the administration has no pride. If they did, they would do something about this carnage. There are a dozen potentially effective solutions. The fact that they are doing NOTHING, proves how apathetic they are, toward the masses.
 

Absolutely so correct such a sad loss at a young age and so sad for his wife to be but you know what nothing ever changes for the best it’s seems the Thais just brush these tragedies under the carpet the law will not change when it should however if you ride a motorcycle in Thailand it is Russian roulette take great care and never even think of drinking and driving there

A bit more info in the paper that can't be mentioned.  It had only made it two miles from Samui when it capsized so not as if the storm snuck up on it.  I am on Samui at the moment and the weather and sea are bad.  And there have been clear weather warnings and shipping warnings since the 31st July.

RIP to the dead, not a nice way to go.

And I'm certainly not taking my crossing back until this weather system has passed.  The storm is raging right now.

Terrible news rip to those people horrible way to go ????

I must say that they are quite clever. Of course they do not want arrogant "I have money and own the world foreigners", and the virus have given them the tool to say that in another way. Not saying that all foreigners that comes to Thailand are this way, but unfortunately a great amount behaves with a very bad attitude. I do believe that´s a big part of many Thais way of looking at foreigners coming back to Thailand or not.

They need to realise it was the freakin Chinese that this virus was born let the country sink !!!!

You can bet the police will be checking all open bars and arrest any patron's and bar owners for a single violation of any of the 22 rules. I would estimate the odds of anyone in a bar frequented by farangs being busted at around 90%. Of course there will be mass confusion on what is OK or Not OK. They will arrest first and ask questions later, so they can get picture in the news media.

 

Best they stay closed until these stupid 22 rules go away.

Well it's all very speculative when things will return to normal, but this is a least a dose of realism.

 

Maybe, hopefully there will be a vaccine next year, but remember the world has been trying to develop a vaccine for HIV for the past 40 years with no success, so nothing is guaranteed! 

 

Then there is the economic devastation that this damn virus has inflicted on families finances. 

 

2021 is at best a recovery year where folks try to recover their financial footing, and I severely doubt overseas vacations will be high on the 'to do' list

 

 

I think hiv doesn’t close down restaurants and bars and airports ???????????????? ya ????

give ya heed a bang

What can one even say? Tourism is not returning to Thailand anytime soon. If you think about it, the group that comprised perhaps 60% of all arrivals (lower to middle income Chinese and Indians) are the ones who have been hardest hit by this idiotic worldwide economic shutdown. Tourism in Thailand will never recover to even close to it's former levels, and that leaves millions out of work. Most countries will still be required to have Covid letters, as the virus is still raging in many countries. And some countries will not issue that letter (impossible to get in the US). Plus, will the mandatory health insurance still be required? Will it be even stricter than before? And just what are people returning to, or coming to? Will everything be open? How about nightlife?

 

There are so many unanswered questions, it boggles the mind. One thing is for certain. Thailand will be feeling the effects of this for a very, very long time. So will the rest of the world. And rosy projections are just that. They are based on less than zero. 

Absolutely they think it’s all good again well think real hard the virus is still high so the Chinese will no come no where near big crowds so as bad as it is Thailand will have to cope without the Falangs who keek there country cogs turning also they need to make the baht good again other wise forget!!!!!! It’s time to wake up ya dingbats ❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️

Very very difficult times ahead for Thailand let’s hope they use some good skills like upping the Thai baht to claw folk back otherwise the place is bamboozled for good they need to do something good to get the country back on its feet they are lost without us Falangs even if think we are dirty ???????????????????? well look who caused this pandemic!

You might be stretched a bit thin going to all the Thai homes to educate them. Thai parents don't care enough to teach or discipline their kids in anything (rare exceptions) and when they know very little about correct driving techniques or safety how can they teach them?
