    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 ????

    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 ????

    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.

    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.

    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?
