I'm not one for breaking the law but you can't really blame them for trying. These people have been left with nothing and no government help. They had to try, i feel very bad for all suffering as a result of what is happening

My wifes hotel chain just closed for a minimum or 6 months, that does a lot for mental health. She's distraught

I imagine vaccination will be a part of a new visa requirement , 'so get it or go home' will be the new immigration mantra. 

It's hard to get a vaccination that isn't available to foreigners. Why don't they look a small child in the eyes and say sorry but we're kicking your dad out for not having something we won't give him. Wouldn't happen in the Uk or USA

This impeachment could prevent a 2024 run for this traitor. Money well spent in my opinion.

He will be too old nd the country will have changed too much over the next 4 years, nothing to worry about. if he does run and you don't like him.....don't vote for him. It's that simple

If i need to go to the airport to fly back to my home country, city hall for the whole day is my only option? Weren't you able to get forms at 7/11 last time?

Impeachment? The man has less than 2 weeks lwft in office and you're going to spend how much time and money that those could be sent on your citizens. Really dumb and disgraceful. he already stated a peaceful transfer of power on the 20th

If you are talking GrabFood - not on Samui you won't.

No i'm talking 7/11 or mini marts for beer

Is this due to control measures or a decline in testing?

Is this the same as the Thai Chana app or how many apps do we need?

Massage parlours plead for govt help

By THE NATION

 

 

The Charawi Association for the Conservation of Thai Massage on Wednesday handed over a letter at Government House addressed to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, who is also chairman of the government’s Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration, urging the government to help spa and massage parlour entrepreneurs who have been forced to shut down their businesses to prevent the new wave of Covid-19 from spreading.

 

“Since the first wave in Thailand, massage businesses have employed strict measures advised by the Public Health Ministry, including limiting the number of customers, rearranging the service area to abide by the social distancing rule and providing thermal screening,” said Pitak Yotha, a representative of the association.

 

“However, spa and massage businesses were one of the first groups ordered to shut down and also the last to be allowed to reopen, which is not fair.”

 

Pitak said there are currently about 1,700 spa and massage businesses in Bangkok and 15,000 in other provinces.

 

“As many as 11,000 businesses have reported permanent closure due to lack of money, while about 4,000 that are still open are following the guidelines laid out by authorities,” he said.

 

“We would like the government to relax its shutdown measures on massage businesses, or at least come out with relief measures, such as exemption on property rent until the situation improves,” Pitak said.

 

“Many spa and massage businesses have limited access to the government’s soft loans provided via financial institutes, while other campaigns such as ‘We Travel Together’ or ‘Let’s Go Halves’ are not specifically tailored for customers of spa and massage businesses,” he added.

Kill your people to protect them, makes perfect sense

So you can stay and drink coke with out a mask but not a glass of wine or beer with your meal. We're talking restaurants here not clubs, discos or places where bodily fluids will be exchanged. Killing the indoor dining you allowed. I'll stay home, order grab and drink whatever the hell i like

Contact tracing apps now COMPULSORY in Thailand - possible penalties for people not using them

 

 

Contact tracing applications are now compulsory for people living in Thailand and those who do not use them and later test positive for COVID-19 could face legal action.

 

Members of the public, particularly those residing in high risk areas now need to download the Mor Chana or Thai Chana contact tracing app, Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) spokesperson Dr Thaweesin Visanuyothin announced on Thursday.

 

The government’s Mor Chana and Thai Chana apps enable health workers to track a person’s movements and places they have visited in the event they may have come into contact with someone who tests positive for COVID-19.

 

Dr Thaweesin also confirmed the travel restrictions in place in five eastern provinces, which prevents all but essential travel in and out of Chonburi, including Pattaya, Trat, Samut Sakhon, Chanthaburi and Rayong. Anyone travelling to or from these provinces must have the contact tracing apps installed on their smartphone.

 

Dr Thaweesin also said that as well as the use of the Mor Chana app, face masks are also compulsory.

I have the app but have barely been asked to use it. When i have it didn't work. Nicely done

As cases started heating up in Myanmar they didn't think about this? They know the roads, check points, and smuggling routes and did nothing. Now all of the sudden they have mass testing? Sorry but no other way to put this, the administration has failed its people

So you can order somtam, drink coke and you're safe but if you have a beer you're not. Perfect logic LOL

Everyday i look forward to waking up and checking which side the fish out of water has landed on. I can dine in at a restaurant, take my mask off and have a coke but not a beer. It's not like i'm going to get drunk, hit the dance floor and boogie lol

Golf courses in Rayong  forced to close due to COVID-19

 

 

We have just been informed by the East Coast Golf Course Management Association (EGA) that Rayong Green Valley, Eastern Star and The Emerald golf courses are closed.

 

Also due to a Japanese golfer catching Covid 19, Greenwood Country Club has been temporarily closed for 14 days.

 

We will naturally keep you posted as and when courses are forced to close or are then able to reopen.

 

Meanwhile if a course in your area is forced to close, do please let everyone know by posting a comment.

 

 

So you can't distance out doors where it is safer but you can go to 7/11? Loonatics have definitely taken over the asylum

does this "all Travel" include deliveries, food distributions, essential workers crossing into different provinces to work  ?

If not then a complete waste of time 

especially when most Thais, and farangs, know he back roads to by pass these blocks 

I'm sorry, what is the army and national guard so busy with right now?. Rapid tests are available for truckers they just won't spend the money

Thailand has been relative covid free for how long now while its neighbors have been affected and they never thought about covering their borders???? Now wait 3 months until it is rampant so they have an excuse? Pretty negligent!
