We've had illegals here since doomsday....how can they be spreading a disease if there have been no cases in the past 6 weeks? Surely we would have seen some evidence by now? What an idiot this man is. Surely the worst in the government.

I say keep the borders closed to any country that has a problem ie any evidence of in country transmission.

The tourism industry was over supplied too many undifferentiated businesses selling the same low-quality, overpriced goods, and interchangeable restaurants with nothing to make you want to go back, all with the same stupid menu. It will be good to winnow out the chaff among these "businesses" and to restart with fewer better businesses.....perhaps staff training in courtesy skills would be too much to ask, especially in transportation. When you are charging premium prices to tourists who spend a lot of money to get here, at least give them a good time and don't rip them off.

i will open box number 10 Noel

Noel???? Wasn't it Micheal Miles?

I simply don't understand this. It pours down every afternoon. I have not watered the garden in months.

I don't think I would call someone who defecated in may bed, a "friend".

Many businesses here open and close....you see the sign for soft opening, followed by Grand Opening followed by a closed up shop, in rapid succession. If tourists come back the shops and businesses will open up again with new proprietors. No big deal. Better a good business for 60% than a poor business for the 100%.

Who would want to be in a party with a Prawit at the helm? 

Looks like Somkid is toast, so these guys maybe beating Prayut to the punch.

Again, coming up with numbers with no logic whatsoever !

 

We need to see the assumptions on easing....ie will flights be available, will they need to quarantine etc. Frankly, I don't see any tourists at all if they have to quarantine. Where are the 1.5 millions going to come from? Which countries and how is their COVID at the moment? What iOS the assumption on a second wave of COVID in these countries where the tourists will come from?

Are the embassies in these countries ready for 1.5 million applications....no, thought not. instead of 1.5 million, why not say 150,000.....or better still 15,000....then they won't have to keep revising the number down every few days. Think someone gets paid for producing these stupid numbers.

I think this is probably faked. I would not trust a word from this man's mouth. Pretty easy to do, put out the press release saying you have COVID 19, stop your engagements for a week or two, then do a press conference touting the drug.

My father had an adage: "Never do your enemy a small hurt" meaning basically don't bother with silly symbolic gestures which annoy the other party, if you want to have a fight do something worthwhile. 

This is a stupid symbolic move affecting how many (100?) criminals. Extradition treaties were signed in days when countries had respect for other party's law codes. Arrogant Western countries now think only their law codes are worth anything.

Australia should have done something worthwhile if its wanted to pick a fight....this is senseless provocation.

I guess Trump will appeal this verdict from the SCOTUS. He will appeal to the Trump council (Him, Ivanka and Jared) to prevent disclosure. I don't expect the public will learn the secrets of the tax returns any time soon.

Nice.....was it Mother's Day or her birthday present. Ahhh! she told him to stop drinking, so what do you expect?

Was 400 for each unit last year....or maybe 2 years ago.

I'm not on a visa amnesty....my visa has been extended for retirement but I am on amnesty from 90 day reporting which was due in May.

Does anyone believe that if a Thai delegation went to the States they could avoid whatever measures other travellers do? No. Sorry. The US doesn't do reciprocity (except for Saudis and Israelis of course).

So is a 90 minute wait and a 3000 baht charge going to be suffered by every incoming traveller? And after a long flight? To be honest, I don't think this is increasing the appeal of Thailand. 

I guess if you are another 90 minutes in immigration then your bags should be ready for you when you get to the carousels, which is an upside, but their luggage delivery is pretty quick anyway. 

No thanks. I'll stay in Thailand until I can leave and return without that sort of hassle.

Sell out the financial markets or sell out the fishermen.

Brexit. The gift that keeps on giving.

Personally I don't care about bankers.....they have had it too good for too long with the rules stacked for them, by themselves and their lobbyists. Let them rot.

If Boris sells out the fisheries and our sovereignty over them, I will never forgive him. 

What is this obsession that Westerners feel to meddle in everyone else's affairs as though their warmongering gives them moral superiority? The UK is a but a short step behind the US.
