Unfortunately many expat farang (that is non tourists) who are under the impression their individual contribution to the Thai economy is a major influence, or acknowledged, anywhere other than their immediate vicinity, are fooling themselves.
Those directly connected may appreciate, and, yes, benefit from your presence, but lets not get carried away exaggerating the influence on the wider community
Do you have any numbers to backup your dim view of how little we actually contribute into the Thai economy?

A hot head who hasn’t adjusted to the local driving conditions. He obviously had been in Thailand for a while, so he should have known and been on the lookout.
I knew an similar hothead Englishman in Pattaya who had the same attitude. He failed to yield to a van while on a motorbike, instead of just moving over because he was “in the right” legally.
The van got a scratch, the driver didn’t give a toss and the Englishman got a broken leg and a three day Bangkok Pattaya hospital bill.
If he is reading this now I am sure it will enrage him.
When in Rome.
I rarely ride the bike, much safer in my car.I live in Bangkok and always take the bus or the train. I have seen several dead Thais laying in the middle of the road with their "brains" (and I use that word loosely) splattered all over the road holding up traffic. Major inconvenience ????

agreed if they told the truth and it was higher than they are currently admitting to, they might lose the 7 million tourists that are coming next year at a rate of 20k a month (doesn't compute) 12 times 20 does not equal 7 million.

I guess they don't want to scare people from traveling during the long weekends, so better not tell which they are. Anyway, it's all under control according to the health minister.....
Why doesn't the racist call his own countrymen dirty & filthy instead of selfish? Clearly we have more to fear about contacting Covid-19 from NOT a farang than originally stated ????

And just how do you do that Jack ??
Simply by using currency manipulation. They lie about doing it, but we all know they do. They can manipulate it back in the other direction ????

How about some real numbers in your media statements, instead of spin. How many are hospitalised, how many are in quarantine, where are they are distributed, how many of their contacts have been traced. How many of the contacts have been infected.Then people could assess for themselves whether what you say is valid.
I want to know how many people in Thailand have been tested and why mass populous testing is NOT being done / offered here ????

He made a distinction on race because it was the farangs refusing to wear the masks. Thailand isn’t overly sensitive with petty PC nonsense. Call a spade a spade.
It is not illegal to criticize the government.
You think it is funny that Thailand has covid again? Twisted.
Sex workers “trying to take care of their families”. Some people believe anything. Don’t forget the sick buffalo.

well, he has handled Covid 1000 times better than bumbling buffoon Boris.
Similar population 60 deaths verses 60,000.He didn’t manage to get himself infected with covid either by running around hospitals unmasked and shaking hands with all the infected patients.
He did give the farangs a spray for stupidly refusing to wear free masks he was giving them back in March to help stop them spreading everywhere like in the UK, when Boris was telling people not to wear masks.
More people die everyday from covid in the UK and 30 other countries than the entire total this year in Thailand.
The Thai economy apart from tourism is mostly open, while in other countries they are locking down again, some with some bizarre 4 stages that accomplish little.
Some people it seems will never get over him calling some farangs “dirty”. Frail egos.
Not me, I am happy he said it to wake up the selfish idiots.
Better than having tens of thousands dead.If he had of locked down the same people criticizing him would be criticizing him for over reacting. They will criticize him regardless of what he does because he hurt their feelings.
I am hoping he has got this call right again. Locking down CM and CR would be the final nail in the coffin for a lot of businesses who have up until now managed to stay afloat.
Dealing with covid is a difficult balancing act, he has done better than most.
None of this has anything to do with frail egos, he made a distinction based on race and resorted to name calling. This type of behavior is unbecoming of a public / government official. This government makes it illegal for people to criticize them yet they criticize others. The irony of the situation is that he now has to eat crow. It's not the "dirty farang" that poses a risk to the country, it's his own countrymen. What makes it even more funny is that he is wiping egg off his face because the authorities were outsmarted by a group of sex workers that are trying to take care of their families unlike the government.

The irony is evident with it being beligerrent Thais causing a new outbreak, and not nasty foreigners.
It's actually quite satisfying watching them squirm.
The irony is that the authorities were outsmarted by a handful of sex workers... ????

Right...already holes in the story and no doubt nobody will ever know the truth let alone be able to accurately trace...which makes you wonder if all Thailand is claiming in regards to NOT having in country positive cases is actually true
Thailand doesn't do mass populous testing like western countries do, so obviously it's easy for them to lie about everything all this time. Why in God's name anyone would believe this pile of <deleted> they keep feeding us is beyond me.

I think this is a great idea.
They need something to protect the Thai population from us dirty Farangs who never shower and spread all manner of diseases. This will be a good supplement to the quarantine, wristbands and minders they already have lined up.
I too now poop in streets ????

These people must be really desperate to come back with all the hurdles and expense, is life in their own countries truly that awful? My two best mates are stuck in the UK and Canada but they've both said they won't be returning until the quarantine period is done away with. They've both got their own property out here with loads of money in the bank, but the idea of paying through the nose to be locked in a grotty hotel room for a fortnight just so they can drink some overpriced Thai beer doesn't appeal to them.
I thought they didn't allow alcohol in lockup?

The average Thai is afraid of foreigners investing too much in Thailand , as this could mean that foreigners could gain some ' influence ' ...
Influential persons have to be thai only in Thailand .
Foreigners are welcome only if they spend a LOT of money here , and, after this , leave .
Foreigners need to be surveyed all the time , they think , as they could do something Thais may not like .
For example being in a position , ( become the boss of an enterprise or company ) , where they could give orders to Thais .
For many ( freedom loving , 55 ) , Thais that is unthinkable .
Foreigners are " Aliens ' in this country and it will stay this way , even the government changes .
They do not have the same rights as Thais , and many Thais appreciate this .
People here think different from how people think in a more developed and civilized country .
That is part of their culture and will probably never change .
I would like that thai people who are living in or visiting a foreign country get exactly the same treatment as foreigners in Thailand .
I could not have said this better myself. Did you happen to notice that this group of ambassadors are also part of the political and military alliance against China? Thailand aligning itself with westerners and a democratic alliance of countries does not bode well for the Thai Chinese relationship. Once bitter enemies of the United States both Vietnam and Japan are aligned with America against China.

When the culture is to lie to save face, from the government down through teachers and everyone else .... what else would you expect.
If you don't believe their lie it's taken as an insult. A defamation lawsuit will be the result because you are making them look bad if you don't believe the facade of the alternate truth.
