Yes quite so. You're simply restating the obvious. How would they hear any rumours?

My wife has that one sussed. Just points it at the neighbors windows and records away.

TAT "Come visit Thailand, we offer competitive health care and 14 day quarantine" or "Thailand, the home of the vanishing Covid, free mask included with Immigration Stamp"

TAT Small print

*Note.  In addition to the 14 day Thai quarantine period tourists may be subject to a further 14 days quarantine on their return to their home country. Please allow 28 days additional quarantine time to any 7 day holiday you may plan.

The biggest problem is to get your passport back. As mentioned before get some friendly police officers, make a donation to their favorite charity, take them with you and get them to pressure him to return your passport. You were not a fault so there should be no claim against you. Be firm and do not angry when you deal with him. 

It wouldn't surprise me if you weren't the first person to 'accidentally' hit this other biker on one of this guys bikes. It has a strong smell of scam around it.

Flew only one time with Thai airways and would never do so again. Its like an overpriced version of Ryanair. Seats too close together, poor food and entertainment, Bad check in experience and poor customer service.

Their long haul business class seating is like others economy. But I do have time for Thai Smiles. A totally different experience. For a low cost carrier they give more than you'd expect.

Maybe because ex-pat old farts and stranded tourists are the main offenders. This should stop "encroachment" onto beaches

Test results from the Department of Medical Sciences found that the mice developed a satisfactory level of antibodies.

Of these, 50% then went on to develop a dry cough and fever and 25% died. But the rest are fine. A very promising result indeed. Thailand as always leading the field in medical science.

Lets hope they have enough disinfectant stockpiled for the human trials. Any volunteers?☠️

Beer does not spread a virus FACT 

But alcohol was behind 40% of hospital A&E cases. The ban had reduced this to 15%. This has freed up beds and medical staff for the Coronavirus fight. That's why the ban will continue for a long time.

With the Thai death figures for April 2020 running 3 times the previous year average it doesn't take rocket science to guess where these extra deaths are coming from.

Even if the government tries to sweep it under the rug and fudges the figures the rest of us should be aware that the Alcohol ban and restrictions will be here for the long term. Until the hospitals can cope the ban will remain. It has little or nothing to do with reducing socialisation but that's what the Thai government would have you believe.

Get used to living in an alcohol free Thailand.

I think you made a mistake here in your spelling. You typed 'genius'. You need to replace the G with a P and remove the U to correct this. Hope this helps.

Almost 300 deaths per million population. Compare that to 0.7 deaths per million persons in Thailand. And westerners were arguing that masks were useless and Thais are brainless.

If you are quoting the Thai Government figures as accurate then 'yes'....  You have perfectly described yourself

The government won’t see it this way

I expect the lockdown and alcohol ban to be extended until June 1st now

Most of you are missing the point of the alcohol ban. In countries similar to Thailand the number of hospital A&E cases that are linked to alcohol are normally around 40%. In similar countries where alcohol has now been banned since COVID19 it has lowered to around 15%. Banning alcohol not only reduces the risk of transmission from socialization but primarily frees up key emergency medical staff to deal with Coronavirus cases. 

Expect to see the alcohol ban lasting well into July and even as long as October. Don't expect the government to lift it any time soon.

You should never believe the government figures no matter which country. Coronavirus is far more widespread than they state. In Thailand's case, no country in their right mind would enforce lockdowns and social distancing with only 3000 cases in total in their country. 

Thailand reported normal flu infections to WHO for March 2020 at between 11-20% (based on testing) you would tend to think that COVID 19 is close to this or even higher given the lack of immunity. 

Given the estimated actual total population COVID19 infection rate of other countries at around 15% (that is both those who have had it and those still infected) you should probably times the Thai government figures by 5000 to see a realistic picture.

If however you actually trust the government statistics then you should stick your head in a bucket and push to rename Thailand as 'Shangri La'.

As Mark Twain said, 'There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics'

Non Alcoholic beer? That's like orgasm free sex. What's the point in that?
