    My experience flying into Suvarnabhumi yesterday

    And I could equally reckon you're a Thai apologist who in his quest to distance himself from the self perceived guilt of a Western heritage takes great pleasure in making unsubstantiated character attacks at any other farang who take the slightest issue with any aspect of this country. You can reckon whatever you like mate, doesn't make a difference to me. It's probably much the same to you. What matters is the truth. Why don't you pop down to Swampy arrivals yourself and let us know your observations?

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    For all you know I could have walked through with a respirator and gloves covered head to toe in diesel with my own pen etc etc. You're obviously missing the point I'm making here. All of us could take all of the precautions necessary. But it wouldn't make a damn difference if the officials in charge of public spaces do everything they can to further facilitate the spread of the virus instead of putting 2 brain cells together. For every one of us who comes prepared there are thousands of Chinese and other travelers who don't. That's just the simple truth whether you like it or not. Further transmissions could be reduced if airport staff actually did what they claimed in the article.

    Let me ask you all just one thing. Do you have a wife/kids/SO/girlfriend here? Because I'd bet that if you do and they happened to catch this virus then you would all change your tune pretty quickly. You might wish that the officials and airport staff had actually done something to prevent the situation from escalating instead of lying to everyone like they always do. You might even wish that there would have been more people making a fuss about how nothing was done to prevent the spread and fewer people who told the "arrogant know-it-all Thai-bashing naysayers" to get a grip and leave if they didn't like it.

     

     

     

    Actually the mark of an uneducated individual is attacking someone's character when one can't or won't address the content of their statement, which is something that seems to be happening quite a lot in this thread.

     

    As we can clearly see it's not just Thais - many foreign expats here seem to be more than willing to adopt the same attitude you've described.

     

     

     

     Finally, yes exactly, someone gets it. The airport is a hospital. Thank you.

    It's unforgivable to think people like the OP exist...it's a good excuse for a blacklist to be used on him.

    LISTEN.  Invest in your health/quality of life.  Get evaluate for a H.E.T. procedure, cheap and easy. mostly painless.  Can be done in Singapore. 

     
    HET is a hemorrhoid treatment procedure that allows for the gentle, simple and efficient non-surgical treatment of grades I and II internal hemorrhoids in a single procedure. Treatment with the HET system is fast therapy that typically takes only minutes to complete.
     
    DO not cut them out.  There are many other options.  Find a good doctor.  what are your stools, lifestyle ie diet, activity like.  You very likely do not have undergo  such a drastic intervention.  What grade 1, 2, 3, 4 is your hemorrhoid? Internal or external?

    Thanks, but, no offense, it’s difficult for me to take advice from someone who enters religion into this subject.

     

    Anyway, the link you provided seems to confirm that wearing a mask is not specifically effective against virus.

     

    Excellent decision!  Good luck in your path...we all need to choose our own direction...and screw religion, it's not required to survive.

    I just read 3M's specifications for these masks and nowhere is the word "virus" mentioned. Bacteria, yes - virus, no.

     

    Thanks for your input, but I think I'll save my money.

    I have worked in both US, Canada, australian hospitals, and others, N95 is the standard we use to protect against TB and all airborne viruses.  This has been in force for decades...Just google it. But as with everything in life, i believe only in informed consent...everyone needs to make their own decision between them and their god.

    Pattaya TAT: Never mind about the Chinese for the next few months - We've got the Indians and Russians!

    She told reporters that the Indian market had increased by 24% and Russians were visiting in large numbers again. 

    Exactly, Thailand doesn't need chinese or expats dollars, they have russian/indian to support it.  That's why Thailand will remove all overstays and expats at will with impunity.  I am glad Thailand will be ok.

    I'm curious - what mask are you wearing that protects against airborne viruses?

    N95 is Health care industry standard.  Google it.  Surgical masks only useful if you are infected with something already, because it does not create a barrier via a tight seal to skin.  Must FIT properly.  What does fit properly mean; ALL locations of the mask must have tight contact to skin.  No loose open areas.  You will pay a little more but it's an investment, otherwise do not bother.

    And what will they do about the epidemic levels of drug use and violent crime by their own citizens?

    Doesn't matter, if it did they would have acted by now.  How old is the drug issue??? Think!  The coronavirus is on fire, and the world is taking it seriously.  Action speaks louder than words.  But drugs and road fatalities in Thailand, who cares, doesn't matter.  Overstays and coronavirus will always trump drugs, therefore, action will be aggressive.  Don't believe me, just look, read the news! But sure, i agree with you.  All of this <deleted> needs to be stopped - NOW!

    If Coronavirus doesn't kill you Chiang mai's 4-6 months of burning WILL.  Guaranteed.  I used to live there and moved quick once I figured how bad is was. The point is, Wear an N95 certified mask if you want to survive in Chiang mai no matter what everyday you choose the reside there.
