US, UK, Europe all well over 10% mortality. New York 20% +

 

Your maths is not great, take time,u can use a calculator if u wish, but u state 10% mortality in Europe! Take each countrys population and divide by 10,% or 20% that your doctor stated, it's not even close to 10-20%, example IRELAND, population 5million, 10% of that is 500,000, ! Actually deaths 1360 covid RELATED deaths!! I hope sincerely u don't work in a bank or a qualified accountant!!

If Thailand was "successful" then Nigeria was even more successful. Less testing per capita, so less deaths from Covid19 per capita.

 

If you don't test for Covid19, of course how could you know if someone died of Covid19? You can't.

 

That's why the death figure for Covid19 depends on testing for Covid19. 

 

Thailand's low death figure is merely a result of Thailand not testing for Covid19 on a meaningful scale. So of course it can not indentify deaths from Covid19.

 

To call that a "success" is to make a mockery of the term. By that measure Nigeria is even more successful.

Totally agree, high numbers in Singapore and most of Europe because testing is done daily on thousands, high volume of tests equals high infected numbers,even though many don't have any symptoms!! Also I've noticed in the UK  and Ireland the media has changed it wording ftom, say, 15 people died today of covid, to 15 people have died today with covid RELATED, big big difference!! But it's recorded as a covid death in the daily covid death rate!!

I don't know where do you get your stats. 2017, 2018, 2019 tourist numbers 35.5m, 38.1m, and 39.8m, respectively. 

I'm sure u got them from TAT

I strongly believe and having seen it with my own eyes tourism in Thailand has being declining for the past 3yrs!! Yes it still gets a decent volume of tourists in say Pattaya but nothing like 6yrs ago!! Alot of factors now regarding tourists returning, many simply don't have the money to travel now due to job losses etc and traveling will be the last thing on people's list!! People also afraid to fly now, probably need criteria to enter Thailand and not forgetting the high baht!! It will be awake up call for regular tourists as they will find closer more welcoming and cheaper destinations!!! 

This is not a racist slur, but ask any shop, restaurant,bar, taxi etc worker and they tell u they dislike the Indian and Chinese tourists,they don't go to eatieries ,bars, taxi's etc, it's all prepaid group tours, they never tip witch goes along way for most of thease workers! Millios of Chinese come but that money they spend stays in a certain click for better a word, nothing trickles down the economic ladder to the normal worker!! Lack of western tourists the past few years and it's quite noticable how many once vibrant places have gone by the wayside!! Sad days ahead of Thailand unless your in the golden circle!! Just my 5cent opinion!!!

Surprised I don't see any speakers in the photo!! They love speakers and microphones!! Along with bits of papers, certs and badges

I never wish anything bad on anyone but partying doing drugs etc in a foreign country at this time with the world in crises, thease guys will be made an example of, 20yrs I'd imagine!! God they are screwed for life now!!

And not a single one in Pattaya. That proves the toughest humans on the planet, the eternal SAS retirees on their bar stools, are immune to everything from ebola to nuclear blasts.

Couldn't stop laughing, great post I must say, but u forgot 1 thing as I commented on last week, they all went to Woodies and bought the giant leaf blowers!!

I doubt any insurance company is daft enough to cover this virus and right now no one gets into thailand without health insurance and a health certificate. The Thais got something right at last but were a bit late shutting the door.

Hi roadrunner

A little update regarding insurance when entering b Thailand for foreigners,I flew outa swampy yesterday, was ment to stay 3 weeks but decided by to leave after 1 week, was afraid of complete lockdown and not being able to return to work on my own country, airport quite but not dead, temp tested entering airport, no Q at immagration,asked for supervisor at information airside, io arrives with his little badges and medals, I asked if I wanted to return in a few weeks do I need a doctor's letter and insurance!! Surprise!! He didn't know!! Asked another io and she said u need doctor letter but not insurance!!!  Again in a country in crises officials don't know what's going on!! Hope it helps guys on the way to Los already!!!

Hi guys

Need advice, I'm in Pattaya and due to travel to buriram on Sunday, am I allowed to enter buriram or is it locked down! I'm irish and haven't decided yet if I will drive or fly? Any 1st hand experience on what to do or expect please

Thanks guys

I'm off to Woodies now to get me one of those leaf blowers, everyone will be so jealous when I walk into church today, I feel safe now or is it the Chuck noris in me!!!

Just made a cup of tea, have they flipp flopped again

Just read that Pattaya has cancelled most public events up to September,even though not one case of covid 19 reported in Pattaya, just goes to show sitting in a beer bar, with a belly full of beer, alcohol does really kill the virus????????, imbof to soi buckoo for a quick 20 pints to boost the immune system

Is this the Thai version of  " THE VIZ MAG" THIS IS QUALITY STUFF!!!

Thanks roaming,I hope u keep enjoying los hassle free from immagration,I was pulled and spoken to, I go 4 times a year, for a month each time, always from Ireland, maybe just met a nasty io,

Hi guys,

Many thanks to all who took the effort to reply, have another question that someone asked me,

A friend mentioned to me what about all the Aussie lads and euro lads who work offshore,oil rigs etc,who usually work 4 week's on and 4 off,so alot  go to Thailand every 2nd month,how does that work with immagration, any members did this, do io ask questions, cheers guy's

Thank you ever so much madmen,elvia and forest, you have greatly eased my mind, as u mentioned why would thease trolls even bother posting, absolute fools, it's just that I read so many of the so called troll stories,maybe there was more behind them as us Norm guys/ tourists,I certainly feel at ease with your comment "your s citizen" lol,and to answer your question forest, I just thought it would deter them from questioning me, I'm no good in situations like that and the story's of countless people being turned away on the net is unbelievable, im starting to think that alot of them are bull<deleted>ters and something to hide, I just signed up but read a story yesterday about a French guy, double amputee in a deport cell, let's prey he's alright and wish I could have helped the poor chap, any info on him or did u read it, once again, thank you guys

Thank you DR jack,I entered on the 12 December and departed 5january, I never go to an other country and always fly in from Ireland via Abu Dhabi, thinking of going for St Patrick's day about mid March, I don't want to live there not work there or nor do I own a condo, I always stay in the same hotel, do u think I will be questioned be again, I've never done border runs etc as I have to return to Ireland for work, is their a limit on the times I can enter it did I get a angry IO?? Thanks again Dr

Hi guys. Need advice please, I'm irish,work and live in Dublin, been traveling to Thailand for holiday for the past 5/6 years, since I'm self employed I can take extra time off, been going lately 3/4 times a year, for 3 /4 week's, never overstayed not had any dealings with police, last time at Christmas I was pulled aside and spoken to by io, why I come here alot etc, I said I have the time and money and love the country, that was it but it scared the hell out of me as I read so many scary stories lately if tourists being denied entry, for the 2years I have been getting a SETV that gives 60dsy but I always leave 28/30 days, can anyone advise will I have more problems or was the IO having a bad day, is there a limit on how many times I can enter etc, it worried me so much that when leaving for Dublin I asked immagration in swampy do I need a Visa, they replied no, u not need visa, just use VOA and after 4/5 times entering get a SETV, I don't know where I stand or anyone have an issue like me, thanks all
