Phuket Public Health Office (PPHO) Chief Thanit Sermkaew said that the boy had an elevated body temperature and exhibited “likely symptoms” of being infected with some form of influenza or pneumonia.

So he's in hospital while the other passengers are now free to wander all around Thailand.
Not a smart idea if you want to stop a disease spreading?

Proxy voting by Bhumjaithai MPs, during the recent debate on the Government’s 2020 budget bill, is threatening to render the bill null and void or, at least, to delay the already late disbursement of the budget until May or June.

A close friend of the suspect, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Prasittichai, despite his gentle demeanour, had a bad temper and is deep in debt from betting on football.

So he chose to rob a gold store to attract the attention of police so he could be shot dead... complete rubbish. He was deep in debt and did the robbery so he could get the gold and convert that into  a payment to try to clear his debts, but it all went wrong when he killed innocent people, never being able to get rid of the gold.

If he was so stressed why didn't he just shoot himself at home?

Thung Khru police got the call at about 2pm and were soon at the bank inside a Tesco Lotus on Soi Pracha Uthit 58.

Maybe they should ask the assistance from Pattaya police, they can crack a robbery in 15 minutes !

They do... and will continue to do so.

I've said more times than there are accidents Thais will not change their road habits & the officials will not stop them from going about their daily business!

This is just the confirmation of how it is and how it's going to remain... the same!!!!

One of the measures will involve using four fire trucks, each with a capacity of 9,000 litres, to spray water around the airport and runway areas four times a day, using 144,000 litres of water per day on average.

The ignorance is so deep they're not even embarrassed to publicly announce this is their futile way of dealing with the pollution.

Nice double the weight of gold.. I wonder how many other "goldsmiths" are doing something similar?

Thailand has quarantined a fourth patient with the new coronavirus including one Thai national,

But let all the other passengers walk away without taking details.

If the incubation period is a few days those passengers could be nationwide spreading the disease?

Unconfirmed reports said the man confessed to the killing three people, including a two year old child, as well as seriously injuring four others and stealing gold worth more than 500,000 baht in the robbery at the Aurora gold shop at Robinsons in Lopburi on the evening of Thursday January 9th

So I'll wait until he comes up with the gold or where it has been disposed of, also items of clothing used in the robbery to match him to CCTV.

If robbery wasn't the "primary motive" then why the shooting of innocent people including the young child?

And yet no matter what smog water shortages ect

The Tourists keep coming numbers improve every year

Cant be that bad .?

Only T.A.T spouts those numbers as being tourists.... they count every possible number of movement. Immigrants working, then traveling home & returning, Thai citizens leaving for vacation and returning, anyone who enters for any reason is counted as a new figure... the numbers are massaged.

Tourist are at best 50% of what they quote, which is about in line with what hotels etc are saying their occupancy is!

How DARE Mr. Bensley lecture the Thai people????!!!

 

Everybody knows that Thai people were born with a deep, deep love for their country and its natural resources and never (ever!!!) would do anything that could endanger the ecological balance, destroy the environment, or jeopardize sustainable tourism.

I would have loved to have seen the faces of the audience if those set of photo's had been screened... then asked the question "why are tourists staying away" ?

The man is a complete imbecile... he thinks he can suck in the air and clean it?

Is he going to clean the whole of Thailand as it pulls in air from surrounding areas?
