China is having the mother of all covid outbreaks because they only relied on Chinese vaccines like Sinovac, this though is enough for entry into Thailand. Airlines will now have to quickly roll back to COVID measures including mandatory masks on flights. Anutin is not competent to be in charge of any of this.

Ha ha! All the Chinese have had their 2x Sinovac so can come in freely!

Covid outside China is at a level which is manageable. Most people have been vaccinated with vaccines that work. China on the other hand currently has covid levels beyond anything any other country has experienced, and while most variants are not the killers they were once were, that does not mean there isn't the possibility something worse could emerge in a country with almost zero effective vaccinations. This surge of infections coming from China will definitely destabilise all of the current covid management policies of countries that let in without testing new Chinese arrivals. Anutin has already stated Thailand will do nothing

My earlier post was removed so here we go again! Welcome to Thailand! We want your money so will take the risk https://nypost.com/2022/12/28/half-of-the-passengers-on-2-flights-from-china-had-covid/

According to forum experts there is nothing to worry about. Covid is over, is just like flu or a cold, etc etc On the other hand this could cost Thailand a lot more in the medium term than a few greedy hotel owners will make in short term.

It is not alarmism, it’s pretty basic stuff, the most populous country on Earth is going to suffer and if China suffers, the world suffers. Drug shortages in China will very soon impact Thailand and other neighbouring countries. The chance for this variant BF.7 to escape into Thailand is great. BF.7 has an r number of over 18 compared to any other omicron variant with maximum r number of 5. governments need to think the worst in case it actually happens

Oh that's ok then, because we know it can't spread across borders. Do you have any idea what is going to happen if China implodes? The garbage that gets written in this forum is hilarious, hasn't anyone learned a single thing about covid?

That is the funniest thing I will read today. Have you been living under a rock? China is about to experience the motherload of all covid surges. 10% of the planet will catch covid in next month or two. It is not finished, it is still very dangerous and millions more could die https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2022/12/15/1143002538/china-appears-to-be-facing-what-could-be-the-world-s-largest-coronavirus-outbrea

“⚠️THERMONUCLEAR BAD—Hospitals completely overwhelmed in China ever since restrictions dropped. Epidemiologist estimate >60% of ???????? & 10% of Earth’s population likely infected over next 90 days. Deaths likely in the millions—plural. This is just the start—????” https://twitter.com/drericding/status/1604748747640119296?s=46&t=Jq3cV4_b3wChQJQCAY2kNQ

Another BS story. The amount of water needed to displace a vessel of this size would have to be huge, a broken exhaust would have to have been flooding for hours on end without anyone noticing

This is such a BS story. How on earth was someone from UK who was very probably taught how to swim age 10, drown 15ft from a jetty after previously saying he was ok?

correct

In reality you're not a tourist unless you arrive on a plane. Have we got the numbers for airport arrivals?

Doubt that will be a problem much longer. If new anti-sex law passed Bali will be in a death spiral pretty quickly.

Has anybody noticed the tourist spots in Phuket and Samui getting much busier? Flight prices are not dropping below £1000 for direct from UK so would be surprised if this December is busier than last year

Caused by excessive pollution which weakens coral and allows disease to take hold.

How any British fan can get excited about a team that let Iran score 2 goals is a bit worrying!

?? Doesn't look like a 50 yr old motorist in the photo, and why didn't she just go back the way she came? Surely the car didn't go that far from the road?

Yes come 2050 when the line is opened it will indeed increase opportunity in the economy

Definitely this. Russia and Russians in general have shown their true colours. It might not be all of them who are horrid Putin supporting little nazis but it is a fair percentage

In a land with a million guns, why is there a problem with rogue dogs?

This is the cheapest flight I can get for 31/12 which is usually pretty cheap, last year we got Thai air both ways for less! who would do this? Madness And yes that really is a 4 flight journey!

The future looks very bad...

I'm getting a very strong recurrent theme in much of the recent news. A deeply, deeply flawed Police force is the source of a huge proportion of the countries problems. Is any country in the world worse?, and just how many times does the RTP need to be reformed to actually get something that works? To answer my own question, there are 23 other countries with worse Police than Thailand. Police Corruption

Quality journalism!
