And the 10 points  are

 

1. Wash your car every time you return home with detergent and clean the door handles, upholstery, steering wheel and controls.
2. Keep shoes outside your room or house.
3. Dispose of your face masks at a separate dust bin.
4. Clean your wristwatch, baggage, smart phone, glasses and keys with sanitizer.
5. Wash your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds.
6. Avoid touching anything in the house or sitting on a chair or sofa before taking a shower.
7. Avoid touching any pet or anyone else in the house or apartment.
8. Separate the clothing worn outdoors from those worn indoors.
9. Take a shower and wash your hair immediately upon returning home.
10. Use a personal cutlery and plates when dining with other family members.

It seems to me the most important of these points are n° 8 and 9. Upon returning home I put my clothes in the dirty linen basket and take a shower soaping my hair and beard abundantly. I also wash my hands or clean them with gel after touching the newspaper I receive every morning as well as the boxes and bags from deliveries.

Hey Prayuth. What about your promise to fight corruption, that you made seven long years ago? I doubt if you remember back that far, but when you and your clowns launched a coup, it was ostensibly to restore law and order, which you accomplished with draconian measures, and to get rid of the rot, and corruption in immigration, the police, customs, the government, at the highest levels, which you never even made the slightest attempt to do. You substituted 7 foot alligators, with 14 foot crocodiles. And you have spent your entire seven years protecting the elite, those in office, the army, the police, those who are connected, and the super wealthy.

 

For God's sake, you could not even bring the Dark Tao killer to justice, nor the Red Bull creep. Again, busy protecting the wealthy with all of your power. We all know even if you issued a red notice for the Red Bull criminal, Interpol would simply have a good laugh, as you have reduced your nation to a level, where few take it seriously anymore, and it continues to be a laughing stock of the world, when it comes to justice and the fight against both corruption, and rich criminals.

 

Just look at the heroin dealer who came back to Thailand recently from an Australian prison. He was immediately put into a position of power. Almost to say, good job, you got busted, but you are so rich it does not matter. Welcome back to the "totally above the law crowd!"
 
The real problem is, you will not go after any of these guys. Not the top bankers, not the high ranking guys, not the provincial authorities, and certainly not the army, or the police. They are all corrupt beyond imagination. And the level of corruption simply escalates, the further up the food chain you go. As far as most of us are concerned, everything is the same. The police and army are not expected to be honest, and they are not expected to engage in law enforcement, traffic or public safety, on any level. It is an irrevocably broken and dysfunctional system. Any hyperbole to the contrary, is just a smoke screen, intended to deceive the most naive amongst us. 
 
Now, in this time of desperation, with your nation needing you more than ever before, where on earth are you? What have your proposed? Where are the solutions? How are you going to rescue the economy, and the millions who are out of work? Where is the meritocracy? Why are you always picking from the bottom of the barrel, when it comes to appointments? Why do you insist on people with no experience? Sheer cronyism? The nation does not need or want that nonsense. Grow up. Be a man. Behave like a man.

There are at least a dozen good reasons why you should be removed from office. Get out. Get out now. 

Amen!

TAT must be using some magic mushrooms or licking the LSD coated postage stamps they are mailing out their tourist plans with.  I understand the need to believe what you have done is truly working and will save Thailand, but living in an alternative universe and hallucinating daily has to be detrimental to how these tourism authority people view things.

Agreed. Where do they get those figures anyway? Pie in the sky!

Everyone cheers when the police arrest people for trying to enjoy themselves a little bit. It seems none of you care about your civil rights and are quite happy for governments to take them away from you. What's the difference a group of people in a bar or a group of people in a supermarket. No difference in terms of covid. 

Don't you think that there is a pandemic going on? If these stupid people created a cluster in your neighborhood, what would you say? So, yes, I cheer when such people are arrested. They are contributing to the continuation of the pandemic. These people are selfish and irresponsible. They should be heavily fined and quarantined at their own expenses (after being tested of course). What do civil rights mean when you need to be tied to a ventilator: should the patients be asked first if they want it?

The OP reminds me of China when it was truly communist. Any given hotel, especially outside the major cities, might be empty, but if you asked for a room you'd be told they were full up. "No room!" That's because everyone was paid a basic wage and nobody could be fired--so why should anyone do any work? At least in the service sector. It was still bad in 1992 when I was at a major airport. I went to a drink counter and asked for a can of cola and the two girls simply glared at me for a moment and continued chatting. At least in Thailand the young women in the service sector in BKK and Chiang Mai work hard and efficiently.

In the Soviet Union people used to say “they pretend to pay us” so  “we pretend to work.”

I have had the same message today and mine expires 23rd June. I had done mine online for the last 3 years but the last one in March was done with a visit to Jomtien Imm due to the web site being down. If my last report was not done online, is that what is causing the problem?

I was in the same situation as you (several times online and visit to Muang Thong Thani) but I had no problem doing it online again last month.

Is this some kind of joke????? Government committed to tackling corruption,????????

The corruption here is worst at the top, then it slowly trickles down.

First thing to do, is rid the country of those at the top, then hopefully the corruption will cease, or at least decrease.

My thought exactly but I am not holding my breath: we've been there before.
