Manager spoke to the locals who said they would just lose more money if they opened for the smattering of tourists that the Sandbox will represent. 

"i won't get out of bed for less than 10,000 tourists" one was quoted as saying

The meeting was for/with FOREIGN consuls and representatives on the island so of course the Thai officials would remind them to pass along the word to their nationals and other constituents. Did you happen to read that the THAI Prime Minister was fined for not wearing a mask in public? It has nothing to do with targeting any particular group of people...it's to get everyone on the same page. Even after over 20 years, I don't understand the reflexive defensiveness of so many T-V members. If you hate Thailand...leave!

yeah but its pretty stacked against us..

6K fine vs life ruined, family split up, deported

for not wearing a mask.

getting way too close for comfort for me. i now know multiple people who either have it, are in isolation or sick and awaiting results. multiple positive kids at my son's school as well (hua hin)

this outbreak is much bigger than before

local hospitals are either refusing to test or trying to get people to pay with many refusing to do so. no beds anyway. one of the kids from school sent home positive and whole family been sick for days.

i suppose at least they are at home, which is good for them but its obvious the system is creaking already with only a few hundred cases.

Soapy massage venues

wait, what?!

they have soapies in Hua Hin?

err.. anyone know where ????

for research purposes you understand..

i hope they don't throw the current retirees under a bus to accomodate the new (richer) batch they expect will be bashing down the door to get in..

only for the new batch to look at the hoops and say <deleted> that..

devils in the details lads and based on recent history this mob only considers their wish list

still here's hoping!

ONE person walks into a club..

141 cases (so far)

this is way more virulent than anything thats been in Thailand before

and this is not an isolated incident..

phuket, chiang mai, pattaya and more facing these superspreader events

they gonna need more hospital beds if they keep forcing the infected to admit

Covidbollocks nonsense.

At worst, it would think out he herd by 0.01%

 

But it might kill 25% plus of business.

The greater good ?

well done, you just advocated killing 7000 innocent people.

words fail me

I'm confused, wasn't it only yesterday they were saying 70% occupancy and no signs of cancellations , and then only 24 hours later 30% are cancelled ? If that continues they'll be lucky to have 5% occupancy

not surprised, i've lost count of the amount of my friends who've cancelled their summer (school) holidays over the last 24 hours. phuket and samui being the biggest losers in my social circle. none of them wants to risk forced quarantine or being in a strange environment during an outbreak.
