The Chinese Propaganda Machine whirs into action...

All makes sense. Thailand is obviously doing much better than the UK financially even in the midst of a pandemic which has dropped revenues 80-90%

I'll try to come in Q1 next year and I promise to spend at least 10,000 baht

"Honest Anutin" is not going to stick....

What an abysmal failure. It should have been so simple, oldest to youngest.

Hurrah! Thailand has proven that lockdowns do slow down rate of infection. So what next? The instant rules are relaxed infections will start climbing and there is not a thing anyone can do about it

The insanity that is trying to beat mother nature with more concrete

It won't take anywhere near that long. 2030-35

How can it cost 4x the price of a new Aventador in Europe?

Fairs fair. What's good enough for Thailand...

Excess mortality figures for August should be worth a look, figures for June and July were 3-5x higher than official figures for covid deaths

Thailand will have another million cases before this is over no matter what they try

"Hello General.... It doesn't work no, but we can give you a 30% discount on another 10 million doses"

And what will they do if they find 25 -50,000 infected people?

That's the problem though isn't it? No booster, no travel. At one point does it stop?

Vaccine passport? Countries are now setting expiry dates even for those. Austria and Croatia will not accept passports older than 210 days. If Thailand did same that would mean neither myself nor my Thai wife could visit after January 29th 2022. Like I said earlier this nonsense will never stop

By the time Thailand is ready to open up even those fully vaccinated will still have to quarantine. Western countries vaccinated early on and everyone will be outside the "vaccinated in past 6 months" window stipulation for getting a stupid certificate. It will never end

Why do they still build these concrete type roads?

I'm sure Thai migrant workers get treated better than any migrant workers in Thailand. Two faced hypocrisy at it's best

I've said this quite a lot before but lots of fantastically dense people here still refuse to understand it. This virus will not stop until everyone has either had it or is vaccinated, that's how it works. There is no other way, so talk of peaks now is utter garbage, all that is happening is a slow down in infection rates because of lockdown, the second it is lifted, cases will rocket once more until everyone has been infected or is vaccinated

The boss at CP told me to buy them and we all said " how many sir? "

Presumably this will mean the end for Chinese tourism in Europe for quite a few years as well. Good news Thailand!!

So available on Alibaba for 33 baht but bid to supply is 70 baht. Shouldn't the bid to supply be much lower than the alibaba price, bulk buying etc

Wouldn't really work, it didn't elsewhere. Cases will rocket, people will die in far greater numbers. Thailands hedging their bets lockdown version 9.0, made things much worse than they had to be. Thailand made the wrong choice over and over trying to keep the economy going as long as possible, when what was needed was a total lockdown as strict as that in 2020. By having a light touch approach over a longer period, they inflicted far more damage on the economy than any hard lockdown ever would

I suspect the meagre lockdown rules have resulted in a meagre drop in the rate of increase of new cases. Unfortunately for Thailand it is just a pause in the eventual return to rapid increases, as the vaccination programme is far too slow to impact things and pressures to end even the current minimal lockdown rules will increase quickly as loss of earnings impact lives more than the chance of catching and spreading the virus. Enjoy it while it lasts
