I have been visiting Thailand for nearly 40 years , sometimes 2 and 3 times each year.
I always rent cars - even in BKK - and have criss-crossed the country from North to South dozens of times.
I saw many accidents happening, but fortunately never got into one.
I know that people tend to drive like crazy, so all I do is what is called "defensive driving" .
Um other words, always expect the unexpected. Always drive with an eye on the road and an eye on the mirror.
Regarding the article and under the pandemic circumstances, I would say the lady doesn't have a clue about the things she is talking about ...

From a clinical point of view, this is utter nonsense. People that have had a vaccine for one month (one shot or the second shot of the doubled ones) should be free to travel without any quarentine. Full stop.
The other utter clinical nonsense are the "variants from Africa" . From where ??? If you said the Republic of South Africa, I certainly would agree. But Africa as a whole ? Better worry with the UK variant or the Brasilian one.
Do these guys have medical counsellors ???

23 hours ago, torturedsole said:
There's no comparison between the cost of a flight ticket and hiring a taxi (you might have noticed that your average taxi doesn't have 150 seats in the back).
For arguments sake, 700 baht is currently about GBP 17.50, which isn't bad considering it's at least a 45 minute journey as long as hypersonic speeds aren't involved and you obviously got to Patong Beach alive, which is also a bonus.
Whenever you've got nothing to say, why don't you just shut up ?! That's real poetry !!!

I just feel sad ... What else can one feel, after this type of "business agreement". Death penalty is out of the question, but having to bargain it and "reducing" it to live imprisonment , that's a lot ...

This as silly as it gets !!! Of course people with SARS-2 (and Covid 19 , meaning they developed the decease) can be infected. As they might get cancer, accute appendicitis or all other types of ilnesses. How stupid a comment is this ???

Of course you cannot diagnose a fever before the treveller ( read putative patient) develops one ! This said, it is absolutely ridiculous to imply that arriving airport scanns are useless! They can - and will - at least get you into a hospital, where you will be diagnosed for the said virus.
With that kind of attitude, I would personally charge you double the fee for your authopsy, no matter the result would come out as WCV or simple stuppidity !
Kind regards

Episode One : a couple of years ago, I wanted to cement a tooth crown that had fallen out . After responding to an absolutely inutil written quest at the front desk of Bangkok's Christian Hospital, I was led to the dentist's office. I was then greated by a nurse who wanted to take a blood test and monitor my blood pressure . Given the absurdity of the request, I told to the nurse : " please get me my collegue, since I am a pathologist and I don't see a reason to do this type of exams for cementing a tooth ! " She went through all type of colours and I finally had a talk with my fellow Dentist MD. She, too, blushed and just tried to say that "those were the normal procedures". I am sure that you can imagine where I told her to shove the "procedures" ...
Episode Two : Last year, the young son of a friend of mine felt ill while visiting Phuket. On my phone talk with his girlfiend , I was absolutely sure it was an appendicictis crisis. An urgent one !!! But my dear coleagues would not opperate , unless he provided a 200.000 THB deposit. So I caught the phone , talked to our Portuguese Ambassador in Bkk and had than a phone call with the surgeon, who barely spoke English. I I just told him that I would sue him AND the hospital if my friend's son would die because he didn't do the appendicectomy, a procedure that takes 20 minutes ... He did it , but the hospital's bill was 400.000 THB. This time, I sent an email to the Minister of Health , showing my concern for this type of ripp-off. The next day, the bill was reduced to 80.000 THB !!! What type of medicine are you practising i the LOS ???
