I am surprised Australia does not get a mention. New Zealand has just opened a one way travel bubble with Australia, and the government also seems to be loosening reasons for travel exemption - they are apparently entertaining applications from people who will leave the country longer than three months. These two countries would provide a very safe tourist source for Thailand.

I don't know if this particular problem we are now having is happening elsewhere, but since the Government announced tax on vacant land plots a lot of areas in Hua Hin are being cleared and planted. Many of these areas were overgrown and provided the dogs with "safe havens", and territories. Now they are all wandering the roads in packs. Yet we still have the moronic people ( Foreigners, as much as Locals ), leaving large bowls of rice and other foods on the road for them, so they will obviously stay where the food is.
What's the alternative for the dogs! Don't feed them and watch them die of starvation? Blame them for becoming aggressive as they fight for their very existence because no one is giving them food? This is not a humane solution.

make feeding illegal and enforce it
Make dumping dogs in sois or at wats illegal too.

Noticing many more strays sleeping on the streets these days, abandoned by owners no doubt facing financial troubles during the pandemic. The dogs need taking off the streets now.
And the previous owners who dumped them need taking out of circulation too! Puppies are cute but when they grow they all too often get dumped, sometimes just by being shut out of the property in which they have been raised. Then Thais don't want dogs to be sterilised so their numbers in the streets just grow. If Thai people acted responsibly and compassionately to animals, particularly dogs and cats, these sorts of problems wouldn't arise.

I reckon I have all the details that I need that China is not a country to be trusted and which has several elements to it that are thoroughly dislikeable. I am not paid for holding unflattering opinions of China as a country. Don't see why other posters would be either.

Probably just another example of the appalling attitude to the worth of wild animals too many Asian people, particularly Chinese, and their willingness to exploit and kill them for financial game. Hopefully the worker concerned was involved in the disappearance of the deer and has taken his own and the directors life to avoid bring shame on his family.

only themselves to blame.
Covid 19 doesn't grow out of thin air. There are no cases to worry about. How does anyone catch a virus that doesn't exist.

Evidence for the above assertion? I believe people who relish this news are people who dont live in Thailand especially Australians who are unable to leave
What a load of rubbish! I am one of those unfortunate Australians stuck in stage 4 restrictions in Melbourne for what seems like forever. I would kill to get back to Thailand and more particularly Cambodia. It would hardly help my cause for Thailand to suffer cases and further provoke restrictions and prolong the country's opening. Sure it might be a year before I am able to leave Australia, but it's hardly going to increase chances for freedom of international movement if any country suffers 2nd and 3rd waves.

Highly likely that it swept through prisons long time ago. Perfect breeding ground. They could test for antibodies, but ... "too expensive". Better buy a few more submarines.
Haven't heard anything from my Thai mate in prison about it. But letters are censored before they are sent out, so who knows what the truth is. Can't get there to visit personally, though he is also afraid that guards listen in to conversations too. He has twice had severe TB inside so I have been afraid what would happen to him if the virus got inside the prison walls.

Why is everybody getting their tits in a tangle ?
The cheapest NZ is offering for 15 days is over $8,000 (approx 168,000 Thb)
Australian prices around $3000 so I cannot see how NZ could be asking $8000.

As someone with a Thai friend 7 years into a 13 year jail term for a relatively minor offence, I find this preferential treatment of the Red Bull heir sickening and a total indictment of the Thai legal system. It is a disgrace.

The dog did not choose to be a stray and deserves more compassion than is shown by many posters here. Why does the woman feed the dog? Because she owned it as a pup then put it on the street when it was no longer cute and lovable? Or because she feels she will gain merit by feeding it? Suggestions of befriending the dog are morally far more acceptable than rat poison or sticks with nails. I fully understand the dog owner's concern for his two small dogs and he should be able to enjoy a walk with them without feeling harassed. But unfortunately this a country that makes no attempt to control the dog and cat population through neutering programs, as a result of which dogs are forced to fend for themselves in the streets. It's a dilemma and I hope the owner can find a solution that doesn't involve cruelty and suffering for the unfortunate stray.

Imagine needing permission from your government to leave your own country?
That's what Australia is like. Imagine the situation for those who do not have a Thai partner or child?

The government set very clear rules and we as foreign guest in this country we have to respect them and not complain like many members in this forum, because they think it is their given right to complain about everything here.
Wile the Thais are very strict on wearing face mask in public, foreigners think this rule is not written for them. Very often I see foreigner on the street or in malls without mask or pulled down to the throat.
In the last three months I have seen that foreigner lost a lot of respect from the Thais.
There was an incident months ago where the health minister distributed mask to the public and some foreigners rejected them.
Since then no good reading in the papers about the foreigners, the Thais think that the foreigners make them sick and put them in danger.
Just yesterday I see one of them in a shopping mall behind me, mask down at the throat,
I am a 30-year resident in this country, have a Thai family and they keep me up to date.
If you think the health minister is a paragon of virtue and knowledge then you truly are an idiot. As for face masks, almost no one in Australia or New Zealand wears them and the virus has all but been eradicated. You and the Thai people have allowed yourselves to be deluded by misinformation and propaganda.

Don't be so melodramatic. Neither you nor your family have more an infinitesimal chance of catching then dying from the flu.

OMG!
This could had gone terrible wrong, had a vehicle tailgated this ambulance, as they often do.
The ambulance driver should be sacked.
After Channel 3 show this video, I assume he was called in to human resources and kicked out.
Sacking alone is too kind. The driver is representing the value of human life in Thailand. It's just totally incompetent and inexcusable that the door wasn't properly closed and that the patient is able to just slide out when it opened.

The moaning seems to be coming mainly from posters missing their boozing!
Why shouldn't people moan about missing their boozing? Thailand is the only country of which I know that has banned alcohol as a means of combating the virus. The Thai government see banning alcohol as a solution to all sorts of problems. It's a draconian measure which is going to create resentment and unrest and should not be necessary if the message about isolating and distancing is getting through to the population. It's a shame that the government hasn't focused more attention in the past on reducing the road toll in the country, the second worst in the world and a blight on a country that purports to be one of the most advanced countries in the Asian region.

Another non American gotta talk <deleted> about America.
America's handling of the virus has been appalling and Trump has been at his most absurd worst throughout the crisis. Australians do not wear masks and the country has one of the lowest rates of infection in the world.

What a wowserish country Thailand has become. Thankfully I no longer live there. Apart from the obvious food advantage of Thailand, Cambodia is a far more pleasant place to live.
Thailand Seeks Travel Bubble Pact With China to Spur Tourism

Hopefully the street protests will continue for a long time as they are entirely warranted. If that keeps the Chinese away, well and good.
