And the New York times is totally trustworthy. LM<deleted>AO

If these are people that live there, they are no greater risk than any local Thai. They have taken the steps to isolate themselves from anybody else. Thais will sit down in large numbers without taking any such precautions. Rank hypocrisy on the part of the rat dobbers and the swat team that would never visit a group of Thais.

No vaccine today. Sorry no have. But don't worry Gubberment tell me we get millions next month.

It will be fine. Just pop down your local market and find the stall with all the viles out front labelled "COWID VACSINE".

So the TAT wants to attract people that will hide away in some exclusive 5 star resort and stay away from the rest of Thailand. That will benefit the rich resort owners but none of the other millions that make a living off tourism. Great plan.

Chicken little would be considered an optimist in this debacle.

This man talks a lot, promises a lot, guarantees a lot, then delivers nothing again and again. Is this the best that Thailand has? I think not.

What about "Government by consent"? Rules are not laws. The police should enforce laws (codified laws), but what is their authority when it comes to arbitrary rules put in place by local governments?

The answer is NONE. The data is clear that no vaccine guarantees immunity. These vaccines are only claimed to REDUCE risks of infection, illness, spreading. That is why each has an efficacy rating (which is sliding a bit for Sinovac).

Yes. I have three French friends that have received a vaccination through the efforts of the French Embassy.

After 18 months of this pandemic and having no family or friends here or abroad test positive or get sick, I am content to trust my immune system which appears to have done a great job so far, and see what medium to long term effects are experienced by those vaccinated. Don't trust these vaccines.

Lovely deflection by a PM that said he was taking control of the Covid response. It screams gross incompetence if he is only just (in a press conference rather than by Governmental channels) asking for a START to a plan for next year. Could be difficult for Anutin who doesn't even have a plan for this year.

Every time measures like this are initially put in place they say 14 days, but it is NEVER 14 days. They say 14 days because they think people in general will swallow that number. Now they are saying ANOTHER 14 days because they still think people will swallow it. Immediate past performance is the best indicator of future performance. Expect this to continue on through AT LEAST September. I own a bar and am anticipating closure for the rest of the year under this incompetent regime.

You are correct. That was a tragic chapter in Thailand history. Let us hope the same fate does not await any of these young people.

Your dismissive and condescending attitude towards student protestors s ays more about you than them. This is the first enlightened generation in Thailand. Overseas educations and social media has brought about that change. The scales are off their eyes and will never return. I have listened to people from this movement speak and they know what they want. It's just that what they want is incomprehensible to the Junta and the Thai "elite".

"The ban affects all sunscreens which include the chemicals Oxybenzone, Octinoxate, 4-Methylbenzyl and Butylparaben." So outlaw these products. Wait, they are made by companies owned by Rich HiSo's that have friends in government. Opportunity for greedy policemen to harass beachgoers. Can you imaging being a tourist being 'charged' with this offence and then facing the option of an on the spot "fine" or having to front up to court on a trumped up charge? What would you do?

In 2014, following a case of rape and murder of a female foreign tourist, then Thai Prime Minister Prawit made a very infamous statement. "Those foreign female tourists think Thailand is beautiful and safe, so they think they can do anything and show off in their bikinis everywhere. How can you be safe in a bikini? Unless they are ugly."
