I thought Pattaya has a water shortage.

How many total phases are there in this reopening plan.  I thought there were only 4, but the way they're describing what can possibly reopen in phase 4, it sounds like there are some things that will remain closed.

When will I be able to get my teeth cleaned at the dentist office?

A bonus is a payment that an employer makes to employees on top of their salary, either because the employee did well or the company did well.

Seems like a good job to get a 7 month salary bonus each year.  I hope they can just survive on their salary alone.

Heavens above.... What ever next policemen demanding money.... Shocking absolutely shocking.

If they sacked every policeman here who demanded money, there would be nobody left to police the country.

First time I've ever heard it suggested that a policeman might be dismissed.  Usually they are reassigned to a new district where they resume business as usual.

It should help, but a strange proposition.

I take it that all quarantines are now lifted?

The same is going to happen if airlines are going to leave the middle seat empty.  The real question is if the rate of infection is so low why this so called social distancing?  The BTS doesn’t require it and markets don’t enforce it.  The government speaks with a forked tongue.  This <deleted> is all about power and nothing to do with keeping people safe.

Social distancing costs money.

And if not wearing a mask, rightly so!

I think 5 years in jail and $1 million fine for not wearing a mask.

Great news, and ample justification for cautiously relaxing restrictions. The irresponsible actions of those in the USA will without doubt doubt cause a new wave there. The selfish actions of those in Wisconsin and other states is beyond belief. Thailand should impose severe restrictions on all travellers from the USA until they get their house in order.

Please at least let my cigars be delivered.

why?
without bars, late night restaurants open, not much point in staying out past 9pm.
rather see them open the beaches

No discussions on allowing alcohol in restaurants yet I guess?

A work colleague is at Bang Pho MRT (Blue Line). She says the trains are full (social distancing "full") and only 5 people are being allowed to board each train. A complete disaster!

 

Mass transit just cannot operate with these rules in place, no I don't have a better idea at present ????

 

Taken at 7AM this morning.

Right.

I guess baht bus riders are excluded from the distancing requirement.

Come on make your mind up, is it the end of this week, or Sunday which is the start of next week!!!

And, it's not official yet.  This group has no authority to implement policy.  It has to be approved by the PM.  It's confusing to me why this group is even issuing statements which can cause confusion among the public if their recommendations which many people take as policy are not approved by the PM.

I would have thought the Philippines would have made that list.

Why not wait for the actual data to come out then make the speech?

Everyone already knows things are bad now.

If this doesn't stop soon, the whole country risk increased curfew hours nationwide, and another lockdown, in all areas.

 

As always, a few braindead people make it worse for all of us. 

 

They name and shame them, but I doubt these douchebags care about it.

For those that haven't seen it already, this is how the police in India deal with their miscreants.

 

 

A longer curfew wouldn't bother me.  I've gotten used to it.

how about focusing on the 5000 baht payment to the people who need it.

I thought the face mask was supposed to cover the nose

I think 2 million baht is appropriate.  Plus 5 years in prison.

Oops, this was supposed to be a quiet extortion....not to make the press and attract public input and scrutiny. 

Okay lets just unwind the whole thing....no money changes hands, and make the Frenchman sing the Thai national anthem (and teach him if you have to), bump elbows and go home and ride out this inconvenient difficult time for everyone.
