I think you could be underestimating the next wave of green tourists that will step off the plane smell the tropics and be desired for the first time in their lives . The right here and now is bad times but as soon as the restrictions are lifted it will be like a stampede . Over the years we have seen thousands of guys come and lose everything only to be replaced by the next dreamer . It will continue to happen I have no doubt . 

The airlines won't be running full operations for many years yet, even when restrictions are lifted and it won't ever be back to being as easy to travel as it once was.

It will be a gradual scale up to whatever demand there is, and I think it unlikely previous numbers will return for many, many years.

The most desperate sex-tourists will probably be in the first batch though.

For such a poorish population country, some people have an awful lot of money

One of the biggest gaps between rich and poor in the World.

Why can't these people be discreet like their western counterparts. 

Because they don't need to be.

I have been living in Thailand for 20 years now.

Been working offshore so I have returned every month from work. 300 baht per month adds up.

 

I have seen many changes over the many years but what stands out is the quality of the foreigners that come to Thailand these days. 

Too many Bloody pathetic human beings, they're coming with no money and no insurance.

 

Back in the day you'd see a few of these low life but more and more just keep coming.

Now I have to pay for these losers.

 

Eh? 

Thailand was the destination for backpackers with no money and no insurance for decades. 

As a former offshore worker myself, to be ranking ourselves above other visitors to the LOS is quite frankly absurd, given many of us are losers ourselves; alcoholics, sexual deviants, immoral cowards, unfaithful to wives etc.

"After the conference concluded, Reungkrai walked up to Yutthapong and offered to buy the watch for cash, but Yutthapong did not respond and walked out of the room."

 

Brilliant!

If it was a snide I would have taken the 10,000thb off him and went to MBK and bought another for 1,500thb.

Quelle surprise.

Fish in a barrel surely?

watch 10,000  probably will say it's used.  might give it away....  

 

10,000 bitcoins, untraceable.

 

 

Not true.

Bitcoin is pseudonymous like an IP address.

It is certainly not anonymous or private and most certainly traceable, as that is the entire point of the blockchain.

"The situation is worrying...the more active case-finding was conducted, the more cases were found."

Number of positives will directly correlate to amounts of tests conducted. 

Again, these numbers mean nothing without the numbers of tests conducted. 

They are flip flopping on this now due to outrage on social media. Wait and see what the interpretation of the rules is going to be.

Just when I though this Mor Chana thing couldn't get more suspect.

 

Many, many, many posts on Thai social media questioning and mocking this app.

 

Being able to modify one's status is classic. A bit like the Feng Shui card in the red car which says "this car is green".

 

 

There were some clueless folk on here telling us there was nothing to worry about. ????‍♂️

51 positive tests in Samut Sakhon are probably for Thai Nationals,   and the 269 will be for Foreigners.

Foreigners, I assume means the Migrant workers that are locked away behind the Razor Wire in the " Quarantine Camp ".

There was always going to be a  large number  of infections in " Quarantine Camp " because all the people are just herded into the place with no segregation at all.

Thats why the testing is so " Proactive ". Its going to be easy to find cases in the Camps.

Apparently some of the quarantine camps have no water or electricity at times too. Khaosod reporting on the conditions now.

And here I thought it was Thailand's hospitals, doctors, nurses, countless medical assistants, health and national doctor organizations, universities, researchers, research institutes, particularity those for genetics and infectious disease research,

Thankfully, the hospitals, doctors and nurses haven't been really tested yet, other than localised outbreaks, the worst being in Samut Sakhon so far.

I agree with you fully.

But the anti-Thais on this forum will never admit such a thing, they simply don’t have it in them despite thescore on the board.
 

USA 400,000+

UK.     90,000+ 

Thailand 70 

 

A bit like you played a round of golf and shot 70 and others in your group shot 90,000 and 400,000 and then endlessly complained about your game and gave you endless advice and criticisms.

How stupid would they look?
 

Completely stupid.

 

If you didn't keep score, how would you know how many you went round in though?

High praise indeed.

I wonder if Thailand will consider this great new idea from Pakistan, weaponized Police squads on rollerblades?

Let's think about that ignorant statement of yours.....Oh, Yeah! We pay taxes just like everyone else that lives here. 

 

Import, Income, Excise, sales,and VAT taxes, just in case you did not know.  

 

As a tourist you are entitled to claim VAT back at the airport when you leave.

Just keep your receipts.

Thai Gov't has absolutely NO obligation to vaccinate 'foreigners'.

They do if the foreigner pays social security and income tax.
