    One swallow doth not a summer make (Shakespeare as I recall).

     

    Porridge is lumpy as is custard (well it is the way I make it anyway), one instance of Thais acting responsibly does not negate all the times they act like numpties, though it should certainly be noted and encouraged. A journey of 1000 miles begins with one step but let's not assume it's more then a single small step.

     

     

    Valid point, well made.

    But I am, and always have been, a glass half full person.

    We have a similar situation in our village near Sakon Nakhon. There are no cases within the province so far, our nearest being in Nakhon Phanom, 90kms away. We have 9 returnees, all hunkered down in isolation and supplied with food donations from the village.

     

    Our Phoo Ya Ban is a 'no nonsense' lady  who keeps order and also keeps the village well informed. I'm actually very impressed by the way the whole community has responded. There've been no social gatherings and the one funeral (none covid related) was a very low key event.

     

    They've got the message all right.

    I have to agree, there are a lot of comments on TVF stating, without evidence that Thai people are irresponsible and would not follow the guidlines.

    Great to see a post from someone with first hand experience that debunks those comments.

    Regarding the Phoo Yai Ban being a "no nonsense" lady, it is the same where I live, I have, and will continue to do as she instructs as I have been married to her for the last 10 years.

    I take my instructions from "her outdoors".

    Stay safe.
