I suspect that we all know the answer but have difficulty admitting it. 

 

There is a culture of childish impunity here to breaking the law, obeying rules, morals and ethics. 

 

The magnitude of loss of face here must be monumental given this new outbreak was entirely the fault of belligerent Thais, and not unwanted, dirty foreigners as been the mantra since the outset. 

 

I note that they are already blameshifting to the Chinese 'investor' owner of the hotel in Tachilek. 

 

The girls will be made to wai and apologise in the media as you state, but it won't go any further IMO. 

Only on Thaivisa has it been this 'mantra.'

Nonsense not in China

Who's been topped for ignoring quaratine rules?.

No-one. Not one.

From that CNN report: The statement ends by saying the death penalty will not be ruled out in severe cases.

So it then becomes fact. Everybody got snuffed.

Rubbish.

Beginning to look as if the virus is slowly "creeping" around the country again, as it did after the infamous boxing match in Bangkok many months ago.

Don't worry. It wont creep into Cambodia.

One of my relatives works for a large well known international travel company, one of the biggest.  He says this report is nonsense and he is in a position to know. When I asked him where is, he said, for Asia, Singapore, India, Vietnam and Taiwan, elsewhere,  all Caribbean destinations and most people in Europe will stay in and around Europe for at least a couple of holiday years, with New Zealand the likely long haul favourite.  Thailand appears nowhere in their research on future travel plans.  

It depends whether you generally like to say Thailand is finished a a holiday destination or not.

The original notes are printed in China so not to hard for them to bring in fakes when entering as tourists and the Chinese are the biggest country for making fakes of just about everything .

And you know this for a fact right?

 

Given that we are talking about an authoritarian, communist state that has total control of its news media and bans many social media sites, prey tell where your knowledge of China's Covid 19 control comes from?

I live there sometimes. Like you say, how did news used to travel? Word of mouth.

If you read it, the point I made was that they are not known as big spenders.

Have you ever seen the Chinese spend during  11/11 shopping day?

Thought not.

the Chinese came to thailand because of they had a cheap tour trip for a week or 10 days, They do not have a lot of extra cash to spend.. and they will not pay for quarantine or insurance. they will get a special deal..

 

here is the fear.. if any of these tourist catch covid-19 in thailand.. they are dead.. they may loose their job or even the government will block any one to go to Thailand. The Chinese government is not friendly and they only think Thailand is like a cheap whore with wide open for the take.

 

the Chinese government will not let their people go to thailand and spend a lot of money..

there is no value added to them ----Chinese tourist thinks of thailand. For

1, cheap food -eat on the street and drink Bht20 fruit drinks.--eat MOO KA TA

and Mcdonalds.. 2. buy cheap clothes- street vendors 

the Chinese tour operators want to fill the hotels in china town only

 

the honeymoon is over between Chinese tourist and tour operators.. few are coming back...

 

 

 

 

And any other myth that you wish to believe..............

Thanks to the 6 dodgy girls 'working' at the casino in Myanmar, then smuggling themselves back across the border, tens of thousands who are already suffering, will suffer more.

The Singha Obstacle Course event has already been cancelled , with the organizer and 100s of participants affected. 

I sincerely hope they make an example of these girls.

Make all example you want, it doesn't change the situation.

According to Wikipedia,

 

"As of 2020, the Royal Thai Armed Forces number 360,850 active duty and 200,000 reserve personnel,nearly one percent of Thailand's population of 70 million."

 

That's in addition to the Border Police.

 

 

Includes the Air Force and Navy.

Some people are never grateful.

I've been to China and I've been to Honk Kong. I've lived and worked in both. The HKers may have a bit of that, but is that a good reason to submit to Beijing? I do not think so. Beijing is very oppressive. I would never live there again. You think HKers have a superiority complex, I say they tasted freedom and they want it to continue. Freedom should be a right, not a privilege and the CCP and those who support the CCP will never understand that. I say it's the CCP and especially Xi with the even bigger superiority complex, thinking the people would be nothing with them. The people will never know it was market reforms and a more open society that allowed China to become what it is today, not the other way around.

Hong Kong is a Chinese city. End of debate.
