How many people go on holiday to Saudi Arabia? That's the future for this place. -

Don't forget what they said earlier in the year - everything's under control. Believe it. -
Security increased at key sluice gates to prevent unauthorised opening

Interesting, I wonder what happened last time there was widespread flooding.... -
I don't think I've ever come across a regular holiday insurance package which offers such a low amount of coverage, it's always far more than that. All they need to do is specify that COVID is covered then any of those off the shelf policies should do the job. Of course Thailand will likely require something very specific just to them which isn't provided by any of the insurance policies making things infinitely harder and more expensive.

They say there's 50k a day right now, that's definitely nothing near the actual number of infections, they know it, everyone knows it. Apart from the kids who are force tested most people are ignoring it. It's treated as a cold unless you get really ill - which is how it happens when you have an actual cold which makes you really ill and you end up in hospital.

Not really, they're gathering as much data as they can, if other countries are too dim to see that then that's just hard luck. Ban travellers from the UK based on slightly more accurate numbers and see how much the British government cares - not much. They're sequencing genomes from people arriving from every country - when a new one is found it will be attributed to the country where it came from.

COVID-19 pill may revive old, bitter debate
ukrules replied to snoop1130's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
There will be more than one such drug, in fact this one might be deemed useless long before people appreciate depending on the others and when the trials finish. -
Until this complete nonsense ends I suggest that people cancel their plans to return to Thailand for holidays. If you live here then of course you don't need bars or even alcohol in restaurants but for people on holiday I find they often like to relax with some alcoholic drinks and it will 100% be a deal breaker. The no alcohol message needs to be reinforced to would be tourists before they book any holidays in Thailand after the reopening in 2021. When they get here - everything you do on holiday has been banned - do not go to Thailand, go somewhere else.

Thailand in its perpetual state of delusion believes it's the number one place in the world and when the doors are opened everyone in the world will want to come. To them the problem is that they must restrict the number who do come because far too many will want to arrive all at once. They all believe this 100% - it's been indoctrinated and beaten into them since they were dumb little brats, now they're older and in positions of authority. I can't wait for the reality to hit. European booking a holiday next year : There's slightly less restrictions in Cambodia, forget about Thailand, just go there instead. 'There' could be any one of 100's of different countries in the world, like the Caribbean for example.

GPO sells ATKs at 40 baht per unit at eight of its retail stores

Very convenient for me here in Hua Hin, should I go on a road trip to Bangkok and hope there's some left when I arrive? -
It's going to be an interesting couple of months ahead of us.

Yes, and once you go through all this nonsense there's a very good chance you will catch COVID just like anyone else already here if you mingle with the locals who are actively hiding their infections unless they need to go to hospital or get caught up in an active contact trace investigation. If that happens then be prepared for a world of restriction, quarantine and possibly incarceration if you don't want to stump up their special fees for 'hospitel' quarantine.

He just announced the death of Tourism in Thailand. It's over. He's far too dumb to realise it just yet but that realisation will come, probably some time in January 2022 once everyone who's conned into coming here realises that it's one of the worst places to go for their winter trip. RIP, final nail, etc, etc.
