Provincial governors of border crossings nationwide have been given special powers to close borders, with only one land border crossing per province permitted to stay open
Makes sense under the circumstances... although hard for some people.
Tough decisions are never easy or welcome.

its not about "beliefs" its about statements of fact by specialists outside of Thailand people who are not towing a line or impeded by the state with a thought based education. Just look at Anutin, he speaks on behalf of the govt................you trust him?
There are two things in Thailand, truth and beliefs, as we all know they are thought of in equal measure by different factions of the country...
It's not hard to wear a mask or any kind of protection when you go out... just make your own statement..
"I'm doing something" is better than doing nothing.
That's what the officials did at the start, and that got us where we are today!

That would have been 6 weeks ago.. he missed the opportunity.
Thailand is now paying the price for not doing anything pro-active,
As for tour operators they happily took the money from the infected Chinese over the New Year, now you can share the bad times too... hope you put some money in the bank because you're going to need it. This year is dead, and next year will be a very slow recovery.. but most of you would have gone under by then.

This is going to be around for another 6 months, effectively wiping out this year...
the old it'll all be over by end of march/April was just a dream, it's just beginning.

The holidays themselves should be deferred and people discouraged from traveling home to visit elderly relatives.
The current venue shut-down is giving the people a chance to go home... the Songkran national holiday was being mentioned as a possible target for postponement.
Most Thai in the entertainment industry will use this closure until the end of the month to go home.

“Each day, we accept 70 patients severely injured from road accidents and die”, Mr Rungruang said.
“Each day, 700 road accident cases require intensive care,” he added.
Plus the dead at the scene... 50-70 people... per day WOW!
That's one hell of an admission.
The transport minister should be up there in number one spot with the CM governor for doing sod-all!

Hindsight is wonderful..
I was responding to the original post which stated he was a tourist....As Thais wouldn't do such a terrible thing... In this case I'm happy to be wrong.

A compromise solution, agreed between the CAAT and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is that the health certificates can be issued by Thai doctors, said Sarada, adding, however, that the certificates are not proof that the person, for whom the certificate is issued, is clear of COVID-19.

“The magnitude of the economic impact will depend on how the outbreak evolves, which remains highly uncertain,” it said, adding that a “range of scenarios” had to be considered.

Prime Minister, Prayuth Chan-o-cha, has appealed to all people in the country, especially in Bangkok and metropolitan areas, to avoid travelling to other provinces during the Covid-19 outbreak.
So after closing all the resorts amenities he expects people to stay in their rooms?
With Songkran holiday possibly being cancelled many Thais will take this opportunity to go home!

Public Health Ministry spokesperson Taweesin Visanuyothin said on Friday (March 20) that, while many of the 55 fans found have tested positive, the number of infections that day could be as many as 500.
Hindsight would suggest that this event should have been postponed... being such a large gathering, but money talks as usual.

“If we receive full cooperation from people and concerned parties, we might not have to go to that extent,” he said.
So it looks like a lock-down sometime soon.

Mass panic followed by knee jerk reactions. The virus is here already & Thais will spread it around, along with infected tourists.

He is an individual <deleted>. It does not really matter what's his nationality.
Police should find him, arrest him, and throw him in jail. Case closed.
Unfortunately idiots exist in every country.
Next flight back home... blacklisted for life.

A professional football team staying in Hua Hin. Beyond the issue of the hotel, how many and which restaurants did they eat at? Where did they have drinks. If one teammate tested positive, you have to assume other teammates are or will become infected as well.
It's just downright irresponsible and stupid not to make more information available, especially the name of the hotel. Facts publicly disseminated can save lives.
And empty hotels... hence the secrecy!
