Phuket seems like a magical disney place to me - no deaths on the roads and no virus
In Phuket everybody can live forever. It must be the new Shangri-La.

"One of the new six being held for observation was identified while boarding a flight departing Phuket on Thursday, Phuket Vice Governor Supoj Rotreuang Na Nongkhai confirmed at the meeting."
While not criticising the initiative, it does seem surprising preventing passengers leaving. I wonder if it was a domestic or international flight they were boarding?

But it has very limited capacities to tackle a health crisis for locals and such huge amounts of tourists. It could end in a desaster if the virus is not kept at bay.
I think it would be more appropriate saying 'it could spell desaster'.

I always thought evacuated was a medical term. Could be uncomfortable.

Could this be seen as Thai Immigration sinking to new depths? I just can't fathom it out.

At least someone is attempting to do some positive by trying to explain to the farmers the problem, but also suggesting ways to improve their lives:

It might only be a small step, but from what I've seen it is more than central government have been doing.

Another clueless poster.
Motorbike license minimum age is 15 in Thailand.
Yes, 15 years for a motorcycle not exceeding 110cc.
A motorcycle over 110cc is 18 years.

{snipped}
A helmet saved my life when I was hit by another motorcyclist and knocked into the path of a pickup travelling in the same direction.
One side of my helmet had white scratch marks from the concrete road, the other side had black rubber marks from the tyre of the pickup.

Ole Fatty can order all he wants, but as usual nobody will take any notice.
Oh I dunno, if he fell flat on top of one of those fires I've no doubt it would douse it PDQ.
