Thailand's finance minister became the latest high profile figure to say...........

"high profile figure" could be substituted with one word..... "Clown", saying anything to try and please the people. 

A true heroine, and great to see an uplifting story on here.

90.3% wanted to see the Songkran celebration go ahead.

Thailand, the land of smiles, was starting to smile again. 

Until mid April when the next wave appears !

Thailand reported a sharp rise in COVID-19 cases on Sunday.

So that is the "Under control" nonsense out of the window ?

In other footage what looked like teenage girls were seen being assaulted with the cane and then having some kind of oral examination.

There appears to be no deterrent for the teachers here.

Punishment, if any is given, is so lenient, it in no way deters other teachers like acting like animals.

PM urged to come clean on decisions related to case of Red Bull "Boss"

There is more chance of the PM keeping his cool at a news conference, with hand sanitiser close by, than disclosing any information about Vorayuth.

Too much money had been passed round to keep it quiet ! 

April 1st still on the table for Thailand's opening to foreign tourists

The only solution, like it or not.

he could not stop the festival from going ahead. 

He uses whatever methods he can to try and stop demonstrators asking for democracy, but he can't stop an event that could well start another Covid wave !

Pathetic.  

Showing his true colours.

One arrogant person.

PM: Thailand not broke from COVID-19 measures

A lot of the inhabitants of Thailand are broke from Covid-19 measures, but, surprisingly, the politicians running the country are most certainly not affected. 

D-day for Thailand to reopen next month:

Facing an acute labor shortage after the pandemic-induced lockdown

Offer a realistic livable wage, instead of peanuts attracting slave labour, and get a proper workforce.

Although that will reduce the profits of Mr Bigs, therefore it won't happen.

There is a new buzzword on the lips of every Thai in the tourism industry from the minister down through the ranks. 

 

Area Quarantine.

That's 2 words !

The "buzzword" should be - PATHETIC

Says he, preaching WITHOUT a face mask !

Hypocrite.

The TAT chief said Songkran would take place between 10-15 April 2021.

Young students on their way to school without helmets being given daft exercises by the roadside instead of being fined.

Totally pathetic.

Next time they have a meeting to look at how to reduce the horrendous number of road fatalities here, maybe make looking at the "so called" law enforcement should be a number one priority ?

So it might be necessary to hold a document to go to a pub, beer bar or disco in the future.

A lot of businesses are on the bones of their ar*e due to lockdowns, closed borders etc., and they are expected to turn away future custom because someone doesn't have a "vaccine passport" !

Sorry, ain't going to happen in a lot of places, especially smaller establishments.

According to the Health Security Act, in case of severe side effects from the injection result to death, permanent disability or serious illness requiring life-long medical care, the victim or his/her family will receive compensation from 240,000 to 400,000 baht.

The price of a life in Thailand, up to 400,000 baht !

And, if you don't die, but you require life long medical care, that ain't going to last very long.
