    Personally, I assume that the majority of people who voted for option 1 either don't live here or are bar mongers who have missed their beer and girls too much.

     

    Fact is - see the polls- Thai people are AFRAID of the virus, they see and read about what happens in China, Europe, USA and they don't want people possibly bringing in the virus to come here

     

    I completely agree with that sentiment 

    Apart from your first sentence, I intend to agree with you.

    Blame Thailand's situation on politicians and the media for spewing panic. Whose Thailand getting there direction from Im curious to know. Im going to be patient with the reopening of Thailand because I feel its going to be sooner than what were being led to believe. The cure cant be worse than the ailment! Talk to your average Thai person on the street, what are they thinking?

    I've done that and have concluded that they are sheeple.

    This is not surprising. Prosecution in Thailand is a money spinner for the police expecially. My secretary, who is a Chulalongkorn graduate in English was jailed for buying a  stolen car off the mafia who sold it to her. She got 18 months. She was offered no jail time and dropped charges for THB1mn. She did not pay. She could not. There are 400,000 people in jail in Thailand, mainly for drug possession. All those families wrecked, children without parents.

     

    The Irony is that the mafia who sold the car to my secretary are still out free, presumably because they work and in hand with the police. I love Thailand, but i despair sometimes. 400,000 people in jail? That's nearly 1% of the adult population and a lot of screwed up families. Disgraceful.

    Your secretary was a victim of Thai justice. [sorry that's an oxymoron] 

    The inability of thai departments to corelate the paperwork of seemingly simple transactions is unbelievable.

    The desire of the current government to Thai 4.00 does not correspond to the existing stage of Thai 0.04

    Keep everyone out. 

    The virus is everywhere outside Thailand. It's great walking around Bangkok knowing there is little or no virus here. 

    If you live in Thailand thank your lucky stars. You are in one of the best places in the world to be during a pandemic. 

    And this is the best time to be a domestic tourist in Thailand. 

     I agree, but with one reservation. If all the sheeple would stop wearing unnecessary masks it would instill some confidence in the populace, that things are not so bad. The famous Thai smile needs to be seen again.

    House looks like it's worth more like 500k, must have a lot of land with it. House was auction off 'publically' 2 weeks ago where we are after owner defaulted. Only nobody knew about it and only one local big wig was there to bid, first offer he gets it for about half what it's worth.

    Ahh! That seems about right.

    I was just going to say something very similar.
