Why isnt Thailand talking about the survival rate if someone is positive.  With more testing comes more positives. Theirs no rush of hospitals with CV patients. People need to go around with video cameras and show the world going outside of what the health dept says. To have CV isnt a death sentence but the media along with govt is spreading fear. Its not just here in Thailand its all over the world. Whose pulling the strings?

Exactly....according to 'Worldometre' 99% of 'active' cases are in a 'mild' condition. I ask you, if someone said to you that there was a new virus going around and that 99% of all the people that had it were in a mild condition....what would you think? 

Not more than 2 weeks ago China says it was starting to vaccinate its troops against Covid 19......this for a virus that has shut down the world.....Now, not really a peep about it. Can someone explain that to me please?

It amazes me the different Thailand some of you live in to me. I have been here  15 years and I really dont feel the dislike directed toward me that some of you are moaning about. Maybe its because I dont live in a heavily touristed area?? b*gger me....a Thai survey is taken where some Thais say they dont want 'foreigners' back yet....meaning ANYONE that is not Thai (from Albanians to Zimbabweans) ....the immediate reaction by a lot of the paranoid here is that they specifically mean FARANG.....that, shows the level of your insecurity.

I agree with them. I think Thailand needs to be careful. I think those with families etc should be allowed in with all the right precautions taken. Just because there are some dinosaurs in power that dont like farang doesnt mean that mindset is  across the board, far from it, I feel younger people are a lot more tolerant and interested in the outside world. Infact, if  I am courteous I am generally treated well by most and I do mean MOST  Thai people. Why is it so different for some here?

You pay peanuts you get......

What about the trip home from school ?


 

You're right....its a mess of a situation. The way things are going IF there is still any community spread here......its going to go up! Lets hope they are correct and that the only cases are coming from abroad.....,mmmmmmm.......I'd like to believe that 

We NEED  a black Sherlock Holmes....I mean like NOW!! An Asian, male midget also needs to play Miss Marple....and Pocahontas needs to be played by a white.......hang on thats not allowed is it???

Did mine last week....it was in and out in 10 mins at Pathumtani immigration. I would not want to wait till last minute on this lads and lasses.

Its going to be all about number of widgets and bums on seats for Thailand for some time to come....I love the place but, they are not great innovators of new things or good at maintaining what they already have. No, bums on seats gentlemen...bums on seats.

This one agency I worked for has been posting a new job ad every day. Years of getting a fresh plane load of bright eyed farangs every term, to treat like dogs and salaries to fleece, sure puffed up their egos. This turn of events is giving them a surprising, much needed attitude adjustment. SOM NAM NA!

I have, at times for a laugh contacted such agencies. I have 15 years experience, a degree from a Western country, a teaching licence....and am a native speaker......."35,000 Baht sir" say the numpties down the phone. What a delicious turn of events it is for such low life scum as theses agencies to be put into hard times. I dont see it improving for them either. I cant imagine much free travel between here and UK/US until maybe....maybe next year. They may have to advertise to the Kiwis, offer them free "fush and chups' for lunch. 

As the soy boy vegan terrorists ( and persons of all identifications and gender pronouns)  lead the charge toward destabilizing the west further....other countries rub their hands and  look on with glee. 

I agree, black lives matter, and I think black people can start by not killing each other in such large numbers. After that elephant in the room has been sorted, we can move on to other injustices.

Actually lads and lasses, another member started a topic on this very same topic in this sub forum before me. Maybe close this one and let the other flourish in a sea bed of coral and aquatic life forms.

Article: ?

 

 

Seems to have been removed....for what reason I do not know.

I am wondering what is going on in the head of Prayuth and his cronies in this situation. On the one hand, companies are leaving China, in some cases, partially in protest. Now, Prayuth and his cronies seem to be in bed with CCP....Japan is one nation that is backing out of China, and we all know about the relationship between those two countries, even before all this virus malarky. This country stand to gain while kind of giving the finger to the CCP.....Will they do it? 

Cast your eyes on this......Is this not significant??

Your thoughts....?

Even good ole BBC is starting to backtrack....and downplay....
