What 7 Thai provinces are they talking about? Thaivisa why are you putting out half information. People know the virus is out there but where?  Before you get it right it will be in Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket. 

If you read the full thread.....

Is it any wonder you're under informed?

Rumour has it that there isnt any covid in Laos.

Another great opportunity for Trump bashing.  I get that.  But consider that the USA has aggressive testing for COVID—so they would and should find more cases than say, India, or Brazil—who probably don’t test as aggressively.  The world see’s the USA as out of control—when they have some of the most diligent testing programs.  And look what that worldview has done to the USD in Thailand.

It has nothing to do with the dollar.

Try the unaddressed national debt of 27tn dollars and printing money at 'warp speed.'

Thailand is no longer that 3rd world country I experienced 30 years ago

Well, with all due respect, it wouldn't be, despite all the peanut gallery saying it is.

Do you know how much the Thais returning have in monetary terms?

I would suggest not alot, otherwise they would have gone through the repatriation procedure.

I refer you to my previous post on this thread.

Why should I pay ? Why do we have to pull the legs of fellow TVF members all the time? 

And kindly reply why should I pay? Am I the one running the country? 

 

The sensible countries have done such surveys to know the extent of the virus spread in the general populace. It gives data to scientists for further research and studies.  

 

All I was trying to point out the chest thumping they do when their testing is so low. And i dont think they should have lack of resources. After all thais have been scamming foreigners even before I was born. Didn't they save any of that money? 

Only asking.

Speak to the somtam dealer on the corner. 

Oh. They dont sell somtam where you live? Whooppee youre saved!

Amazing how many swamps the Americans are involved in draining.

'What they called a LOW estimate was because of uncertainties surrounding the pandemic and vaccines.'

Uncertainty!  Due to the number of vaccines still awaiting approval, and the time taken to distribute and give the vaccine to millions of people -- and the uncertainty of future employment and unemployment --  it's more than uncertainty!

 

'They called for greater clarity abroad about Thailand so that foreigners get the right information.'

Right Information: No visas on arrival; 2-week compulsory quarantine; covid test before flying; fit to fly approval; high medical insurance to be taken out by a Thai insurance company; a very high Baht; nothing open; a military-style undemocratic Government; demonstrations against the Government; etc.  I think foreigners get the right information!

 

I  think I'll close down my Kasikorn account and move to another bank -- if their 'brains' come out with garbage like this my money isn't safe with them!

Yes you should do that straight away.

his radio interview, Giuliani said he had tested negative just before his trip to the three states.

How irresponsible. As irresponsible as jumping the border to avoid quaratine.

Hmm those cuddly escaped Uighurs.

They are being oppressed in China you know.

While the states have 27tn in debt and a failure to address it,  there wont be a recovery of any note. Printing money is no solution.

Get a sero survey done. You will find the prevalenceof the virus in general populace. But that cant be expected from thailand. They just want to keep the numbers low. 

You paying?

How do you?

I didn't say I did. Just dont rule out the possibility that they have some money.

Or as was said succinctly 'a pot to p!ss in. '

It'll keep weakening whilever they print more with nothing to back it up.

Are you seriously suggesting that testing in itself creates infections ?Incredible , perhaps the biggest piece of nonsense regarding Covid I have come across. I would love to hear the reasoning behind such a crazy statement.

Mass testing identifies infections , minimal testing hides them , simple as that , how on earth does any degree of testing increase infections ?

By getting a lot of people to congregate in one place? Including infected people.

I can think of nothing better than spending more than USD 1000 to stay in a hotel room for 2 weeks and get 3 meals and covid tests.

If I stay home, I can at least go outside, walk, exercise, play tennis or go to the beach and gym... all things I can not do in ASQ

And, of course, catch Covid 19. Now available in Miami for all those who want it.
