Keep the borders closed as they are until the end of the year. Then review the situation in other countries to see if COVID has every few infections. If so, open the borders.....if it as is now with massive numbers of new infections every day, we cannot, and should not open the borders as inconvenient as quarantine is.

People made a big sacrifice in wave 1 and this sacrifice should not be thrown away for foreign tourists. Why would you let an American, British, French or Spanish person come to Thailand when they are not controlling their own virus???????

 

Please bring back the curfew so I can get some sleep at night. It is so noisy with these damned motorbikes with altered exhausts designed to make a Honda 50 sound like a Boeing 747.

Self, self, self, self...

Bet you fit right in

I find the (presumably mostly white farang?) derision, sarcasm and cynicism posted here repulsive: downright shameful and disrespectful.  - If you're happy to see China walk over the entire South East then I suggest you just shut up and watch it happen and remember your cynical / inactive contribution to that.

And I find your naiveté downright embarrassing time to take the rose tints off and smell the coffee!!!

If you cannot see that the hiso's in charge have not already pinned their colours to the mast for personal gain then God help you and glad you have exactly the same amount of power to change things as I do, namely sweet fa 

Your right everything I see from the idiots in charge demands cynicism and derision there is nothing honest or honourable in anything they do, they are incompetent nincompoops who have sold their country and people out!

He added that the submarines would reinforce Thailand's bargaining power when negotiating with other countries to defend national interests.

Takes years to build up a submarine force

1. First thing you need is a professional pool of military soldiers, sailors and technicians not to mention leadership with a high degree of education and ability, also required is appropriate infrastructure to deliver the training and development required to achieve the aim of a 21st century Submarine capability 

2. Cannot......

Damn this 'government' seem to have unusually high approval ratings for their spending policies, wonder if that correlates to unusually high wealth due to their stellar intuition and business acumen....

One could be forgiven for thinking they just made it all up but I am sure such fine upstanding gent's would never do that....

*sarcasm alert...*

They are going to defend CCP strongholds against the muricans as a good vassal state should.

Unfortunately I wouldn't be at all surprised if that aint what they want the CCP to believe

Actually probably about the best long term strategy the intelligence deficient buffoons in charge can come up with maybe they think the CCP will put them up when the serf's wake up and smell the coffee...

Ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!

Couldn't make it up but just shows the altered reality and priorities of 'government' leaders and their backers!!!

God only knows what it will  take to wake the populace and the old adage about getting the government and leaders you deserve spring's to mind. Hope somebody grows a pair for their futures sakes...

The media hysteria is fuelled by the need of so many ‘experts’ to have their moment in the spotlight with ‘maybes’  !!!

 

In decades and generations this whole saga will be taught as a case study of how we listed to flawed and uncertain information and played Russia roulette with our economy. 

 

Look at this news - 14 Day Quarantine ‘may not be enough’.....   1 potential case with an almost infinitesimally low viral load, basically dead RNA, recorded...  1 Person of country of 77 million - potential 25% unemployment. 

 

Thats 20 million people going hungry, even if the Thai Chamber of Commerce’s 25% unemployment projection is 5x too high, what about 5% ?? that still 3.85 Million People unemployed which is still devastating to a society with very little social welfare.

 

Open up the borders - Allow Tourists with a Covid-19 test. 

Test arrivals and track and trace.

There will be further outbreaks - but really, is it that bad ????? 

 

the US is quoting 170,000 Covid-19 deaths (in 6 months so far) yet 2,840,000 people die each year anyway.

How many of these deaths are ‘extra’ deaths ?????

 

 

We really need unadulterated facts - not this media frenzy fuelled by a political stance. 

 

 

 

 

 

Blimey Richard stop talking sense you cannot hope to change the Hi So's need to get in the spotlight at every occasion even if they have nothing useful to say, it's genetic...

Good luck to them they will need it, the parasites in charge are not going to give in without a fight!

Okey dokey just lock the country down indefinitely. I am sure the people in charge will all be absolutely fine. So a few serfs might suffer they're little people they don't matter....

no no mark, it's not that, it's more of a case of I, as many prefer a Thailand that has someone who can offer security and stability to the Thai people, they as I, are sick of political fighting amongst themselves

Yep managed  that alright just outlaw the opposition then fall back on tried and tested intimidation, trumped up charges and stuff, works a treat..

road blocks and protests which started getting out of hand and then there were shootings and general lawlessness so someone had to step in and get control back and get the government going again and that was Khun Prayut Chan O Cha

Yep that's right manufacture the protests and shoot a few protesters, again tried and tested

You see Mark, I understand Thai politics, having been here 20+ years and as my Tha friends also say, Thailand MUST have someone who is in charge or anarchy breaks out every time.

Not noticed much love for the junta Steven need to get your eyes tested methinks. That the same anarchy that little Pinocchio and his friend Suthep engineered?

Numbers don't lie mark so you see why he is the choice of the people.

Choice of the people??? he closed down the opposition on trumped up charges, used sect 44 and his rigged judiciary to prevent any opposition

As for the school kids, well lets give them their say and move forward. As for COVID mark, the PM did an excellent job in stopping and minimizing it's transmission.  thx.

Give them their say??? that must be what the little green men are doing at the schools and universities. That must be what the arrests are about

Covid is an absolute gift for the little piggy's in charge, it allows them to use stealth and fear to further their hold over the people. It also allows them to spread fear of the outside world and bring in martial law under the disguise of looking after the little people, they love covid!!

I have had a rethink mate there is not enough alcohol in the world to cause so much delusion....
