    maybe an attitude adjustment would help in your quest,

    Let's look at the evidence

     

    1. your initial comment was trying to be a smart ars#

    2. you apologized which i accepted

    3. you've now posted for the 3rd time offering no info at all.

     

    So yeah, a complete waste of time, all 3 of your posts

    1) "if you don't like it leave" is the emptiest of responses to debate!

     

    2) Given the time at which you made your post,(0400 Thai time) you are either an insomniac or have taken your own advice and left!

    2) Insomniac why? i'm up at 0430-0500 and most definately have enough sleep, what a silly comment.

    My missus speaks English with native-speakers and other foreigners with full confidence. Once she’s speaking English with other Thais abroad, etc, she seems to get nervous and alters her speech pattern. I feel there’s a sense of competition. 

    Yes, i agree about when there's a group there's a sense of competition, something like a badge of honour the better they speak it.

    Isn't that why some hotels here have been rented by the government, to house returning Thai's?  Isn't the price 1000 baht a day?

     

    Many other countries doing the same. 

     

    Only cooks and cleaners allowed in, and some admin staff.  Other than that, it's locked down, and is guarded, to ensure no one in, and no one out.   

    In the UK, it'll with be at home from 8th June - no prison.

    This is what I said:

     

    "but may face 14 days forced quarantine, at their own expense, upon arriving back in their home country."

     

    So that's a 2 week holiday in Thailand, then a possible 2 week forced quarantine (in a guarded facility) at the traveler's expense, upon going back to their home country.

     

    That could make a holiday to Thailand quite expensive, and you have lost your other 2 weeks of holidays. 

    A guarded facility, are most peoples houses guarded now, guarded by who?

     

    Does it not mean you're told to stay home and you're left to be trusted?

     

    But yes, i understand that holidaying may become terribly unpractical.

    I used to like them but haven't been for a year or more. There was a farung guy who worked for him then and I guess his job was to look after the equipment. He used to come and inspect the broken stuff and then leave. Never fixed anything. The girl who used to work at the Sukhumvit one used to buy her own oil for the machines because she would report them as needing oiled and nothing ever happened. She became sick of everyone complaining so she fixed them herself. Then she left and they just all broke. Was sad and very frustrating that no one cared. They opened this beautiful new gym with new equipment and it just all broke because I one maintained it. I went past Sukhumvit in a songtaew today. I only saw quickly but it looked like all the equipment was gone.

    Generally Thais don't maintain ANYTHING.
