What is this all about? It’s clear that those who have been vaxed twice last year have no/minimal immunity remaining. Some knowledgeable researchers would argue that these people (those vaxed with lapsed ‘immunity’) are even more susceptible to being infected by the virus. I am tempted to believe that these new entry regulations are being put in place to give the appearance of taking meaningful action … to make those in power look good to voters. Any thought that these measures will stop or reduce Covid are delusional. The fact that the regulations don’t apply to Thai citizens tends to add further strength to this argument.

There are a lot of posts here from people who have not even bothered to read the linked article. Seriously, why even bother posting and advancing your opinion if you have not even bothered to read the background article?

It would be tempting, if one was carrying a gun and drugs, to make more of an effort to blend in and look like a plain vanilla tourist. Everything about this guy shouts out ne’er-do-well.

Likely the guy that turned him in to the police sold him the gun

Well on the plus side maybe there will be some good deals to be had. My Chinese neighbour (of uncertain occupation) has put his 3 month old Bentley on a fire sale … he thinks it might attract too much attention right now.

I admit to being overly fond of dogs and have lived around wild animals most of my life. Sadly, once any animal has crossed the threshold and attacked humans in this way, it can never be trusted again. There are few options going forward the kindest being to put Pepo down. Hope they do the right thing … or count on a repeat performance in the future.

So why expect that the ‘unimportant people’ would follow the rules of the road if a police captain is not willing to do so?

Someone who borrowed money from him?

How about when you get to zero points you have to buy ‘first class’ insurance?

Has anyone considered the massive capacity increase in the electric grid that would need to be invested for to enable electric car charging on a large scale? Last time I looked, Thailand burns fossil fuel to produce electricity. Is there something special about those fossil fuels that does not pollute?

I completely agree with you. That said, it’s the same as the gun problem (guns don’t kill people, people kill people) and many other societal problems. It’s easier to police/regulate people than to take action to solve the problem.

Thailand has always been very clear … they want foreign money they don’t want foreigners.

One is tempted to come to the conclusion that Thai business lacks the capability to compete on a level playing field. The constant protection of industry assures that the talent pool will never develop the skills and competencies that would allow them to compete in an open market. The protectionism is bad for everyone other than the wealthy incumbents

I can’t help but feel that some facts here are missing.

Reading the comment here, we seem to be forgetting who pulls the strings of the military. Might that individual have a motivation to make a change? I have no idea but we will see

Agree but in situations like this I am reminded of the admonishment “Vengeance is mine, and recompense …”

When did Anutin become the justice minister?

Nobody seems to be asking why all of this is happening. It’s not happening by accident or coincidence. Who has an interest in destabilizing the US and global economy? What is the outcome(s) that they are trying to achieve. If you take a broader perspective I think you will find that the price of petrol is not such a big worry as the avalanche of s$&# that is rushing toward us.

I am sure you know by now that nothing bad that ever happens is the fault of a Thai person
