So at least we now know that there's another successful export from Thailand besides rice: the dreaded TM30 nonsense.

Note to TAT, Bangkok's tap water isn't only perfectly safe to drink, but a real life saver indeed. I trust you can spin that as you see fit.

On a more serious note, I wish the Scotsman a speedy and complete recovery!

I wonder why they don't use this opportunity for another push towards going cashless. With PromptPay payments, you just touch your own phone (that you constantly touch anyway)!

Liars? Why hasn't Ai Anutin been arrested yet?

That's the spirit, I love the optimism! If things don't get better by then, they can still cancel it.

Needless to say it's a great event for Thailand and they got a lot of praise for how they handled the first one.

That's actually quite a sensible list by Anutin's standards. In the case of China, it obviously comes more than a month too late.

Hopefully they will find themselves on their way out, the sooner the better. Mismanaging the COVID-19 crisis might just do the trick.

India is INFESTED with TBC

True. I think it's safe to assume that being infected with both TBC and the new coronavirus at the same time is pretty much a death sentence. This could really get ugly.

That's what 9 months per year in total. He didn't mention what visa he is using. If setv extension each time, I see it as maybe a problem.

I agree it should not be an issue...but

He wrote: "My schedule is 3 month on 28 days off."

I read that as being away from Thailand for 3 months, then coming to Thailand for 28 days.

Thanks for reply Peter.  It is more convenient for me to do tomorrow i.e. a week earlier as I had planned to go away next week and didnt want the hassle but just wasn't sure if this was too early?

A week earlier is fine.

I work in Iraq. My schedule is 3 month on 28 days off. I usually go to Thailand on my off time. That doesn't make me a tourist?

I don't think you will have a problem with that pattern.

Surprise, surprise! They are, after all, little ghosts!

He should be sent to greet each and every returnee.

"Some" have been working illegally. I see. How many is "some", a few thousand of those 100,000 or more like 95,000?

banana thief?

 

Or oxygen thief?

That's sad but it's the right decision. Better safe than sorry.

"He stressed that Thai produced medicines were effective"

Which ones, pray tell? I'm sure the world wants to know and will be eternally grateful.

What an idiot.

yes nothing going on in S' Korea

How does that defeat the argument that climate might play an important role? In Daegu, South Korea's COVID-19 epicenter, the temperature is currently 10 °C (50 °F).

If I had symptoms that don't go beyond those of a common cold or mild case of influenza, I would self quarantine at home. Only if the symptoms get worse or don't ease within 1-2 weeks, I'd call the MOPH hotline. In that case, I would make sure to update my will before I hand myself in to Thai quacks who might well see it fit to use me for unethical medical experiments.

"The patient was given favipiravir, an experimental antiviral treatment, and white blood cell serum from a patient who had recovered. The virus had completely gone since February 16, but his lungs suffered a lot of damage. The patient passed away peacefully after fighting the illness for one month, the director said."

That raises more questions than it answers. Not least because they used an experimental drug on him, maybe it did more harm than good - it wouldn't be the first time!
