Grace at Echo Lake

You're joking, right??!   Sure, 3,880 COVID test results and 60 deaths - but with almost NO testing in a country of 70million.  Plus, the Thai government has decimated the economy.   Many more people than 60 have died of starvation due to the draconian measures taken in this country.

What a load of garbage!  I just left Thailand after about 5 years as a working, paying, involved expatriate (a week ago).  It's clear that expats are not wanted in Thailand anymore and the government is doing what they can to use the COVID-19 ruse as a cover for helping us leave.  Most of the international flights contain passengers leaving Thailand for repatriation reasons - since nobody can get back into  the country.  It's a shame that the people just allow this....

Geez, there is a very easy solution to much of this.   Encourage & make it easy for people within Thailand to get on planes and get to other regions of the country to visit the mountains, the beaches, etc.  There are constantly different drummers beating different tunes.   I would take 2 trips/week if I had 100% assurance that I wouldn't get detained for 5 hours in the Krabi airport, then forced to fly back to Bangkok and spend the next 14 days quarantined is some soccer stadium........

I would love to hop on a plane at BKK or DMK and head for the islands in Thailand.....however based on what I read, I may not be able to get back to Bangkok because random checks with unknown, moving-of-the-goal posts requirements.

Things are interesting in the U.S. too.  Gatherings of more than 10 people are still not allowed.  Meaning that Joe Biden can still have his rallies, but President Trump cannot.  Oh well....daily more COVID updates! 

Benjikitti Park still closed this morning.  Bummer......

Thailand has done an excellent job in handing the coronovirus.  It's time to open the airports, hotels, restaurants, etc. and allow Thais to work again.  Please

It's mid-April.....and New Yorkers on just now being told to wear masks?!?  Must be a blue state.
