I hope the young man and his family get some psychological as well as financial support.
I am sure we shall see many more suicides and attempts in the weeks to come, I cannot imagine how stressful it must be for so many.
I hope the monks are able to assist him
This poor man so very hard for him why could he not get money if he worked so unfair

Which are only very slightly useful at best. Better to practice distancing and have customers not touch and replace products. My wife and I had Covid confirmed and neither of us had a fever for more than half a day.

Poor kids. It must be quite an ordeal for them not knowing what's going to happen.
Nice to see the Thai Embassy helping out. I don't think all the European embassies seem to be so helpful to their citizens.
Brilliant for thsi embassy to do that

The food banks are intended for the poor and income-less (because of the quarantine)
Not for everyone
There will be no full 24-hr curfew
We will be able to shop for a couple of hours at least
It's to be hope so.a lot of thai's shop daily for fresh food

I have coronary heart discease and reduced kidney function as a third of a kidney was removed due to cancer. This puts me well into the at risk category.
I have over 880k in the bank and can supply all documentation.
If you are an agent who can do renewal at Chang Wattana please contact me.
Thank you in advance.

So it was the mandatory BS application they forced her to do and download at Suvarnabhumi giving them all her details and they said they will contact the relevant authorities to come check her out at my house. So this is just F n great! She has a mandatory 14 day quarantine in my house and they gonna come check and then as dominos fall make all of us stay quarantined. I am a little fuming right now she did not tell me that was happening as I would have refused her to come home here as she could have just stayed home with our other family members in BKK. So there you have it. On the other side love to have her home and the down side is there is nothing I can do now. This has supposedly been in effect for a week or so and not just now, but enforced from Bangkok and not CM. Time for a glass of scotch!
Why not stay in bkk lessen the risk to u and your family

Who told you i was not 2 metres away from other people ?
We are hearing about the spread of this virus from beer bars etc but
Im in KC and many restaurants are still open .
Whats point in closing bars . Cinemas etc if there are still many many filthy places open serving dirty unclean cutlery and glasses.
Now im not having a go at thai lifestyle, ive eaten thai food from these types places all my life but in the current climate i think that food safety hygeine should be stepped up in all eateries not only thai places. Think how many people have drank from a glass you have just been handed....the very same glass that wash half washed with cold water ????????????????????????
I drank out of a glass in doctors no paper cups but i cleaned first with a bacterial wipe i always carry.got some strange looks but couldn.t give a toss

You have to realise that the locals don't give a flying fc*k about this sort of thing. You can't appeal to their better nature as it's concentrated on me me me. They will not do as they are told, will all disappear to where they want and to hell with the consequences as long as I'm OK. There is very little community beyond the villages and even in the village it's vicious. The photos of Morchit sum it up well ...screw everyone so long as I get out. They may as well just accept the casualty rates and carry on as normal as you are not going to get any coming together of society as it looks like everyone for themselves and if it gets you it gets you. A symptom of the modern world I'm afraid and we will see the results soon enough.

if the majority are in BKK that would be a smart move to keep them there and don't allow them to travel and spread it out, thus first and foremost, lock down/shut down/block down, halt any and all traffic out of BKK

Yes, it does. The concept of palliative care (including no resuscitation order) is widely well understood (in the medical personnal, that is).
A written document is always a good idea though.
Yes it does my friend had on his medical record at hos and they adhered by it

And how many tests they did?
Apparently its 3500 for thais in gov hospitals and it can be 25 000 in Bangkok Hospital - saw poster pic here o other thread.
Anyone got that Bangkok hospital poster pic with 25k test ad?

Public/University Hospitals
- Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital: Tests are 3,000 – 6,000 baht, same price for foreigners. Admission available.

- Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun Hospital: Does not provide Covid tests unless patients already have Covid-19 symptoms. The hospital said they cannot determine the price for a test, since they can only be prescribed by doctors.

Private Hospitals
- Ramkhamhaeng Hospital: 6,500 baht for a Drive Thru service where doctors will swab your nose and throat. Medical results will be sent through text messages within eight hours. Same price for both Thais and foreigners. Book via their Facebook, though the service is fully booked through Thursday.

I went normal (not panic buying) grocery shopping yesterday, Macro, tops and big C, happy to report that the shelves are full and there is no sign of large crowds or panic buying etc. If anything the number of people out and about doing shopping is probably less than usual.
The photo of Macro above is how Macro always looks, its a bulk food warehouse where people buy in bulk, if anything there are less queues than usual.
A seriously irresponsible report that will only serve to create a panic buying situation where none exists at the moment.
Couldn.t agree with u more .if that's macro busy god help them when its quiet

Starting to wonder, if and when I return to the US, as I was supposed to do in June for a daughters college graduation, if upon my return I will require a doctors certificate the way things are going. However, a doctors certificate does not ensure one is not a carrier nor does it ensure one can not still be in the incubation period......
Totally agree

I have seen loan contracts with an effective interest rate of almost 78%. The interest was not stated, just the amount borrowed and the number and amount of monthly installments.
This is a great tool to find out: https://vindeep.com/Calculators/EMICompare.aspx
Regular Thais though sign anything in their desperation to find some cash.
Simple enough to work just times the amount monthly by how many months u pay or better still look at bottom line
