you are correct - all you had to do was look around pattaya these last 2 weeks and see packed venues now many closed because of virus clusters - they couldn't keep to the rules so this is the result, unfortunately many of the rule breakers were here on 2-3 week holidays and the majority will have already gone home or going home soon - we are now left with the aftermath with closures and lockdowns

lack of foreign tourists might have something to do with it

the article is confusing to say the least what I think it is saying is that people who happen to be police have accumulated Bt270billion in private debt that the are having difficulty repaying, it really has little to do with how they are employed

airline may still insist on preflight tests - also a lot of flights do not fly directly to the UK Personally I would prefer passengers are tested before boarding a flight that I have to share with them

The FDA recommended doing both no matter what the instructions said - I posted the article here last week but that does not solve the issue of "can the ATK used effectively detect omicron no matter what the sample is" I would also like to know if the detections listed for Pattaya are ATK or PCR or both, that is unclear right now

not as straight forward as you think, many people under intense treatment in hospitals are from much older infections i.e. delta, many are unvaccinated, many have other serious illness There is still no clear evidence either way that omicron is milder or just as deadly as delta, if there is evidence then it has not been made officially public - this of course is critical as to how this unfolds, I expect we will know soon enough

jesus Christ, I don't know who is worse - the foreigner or the Thai so called instructor for this stupidity, I'd be will to bet the Thai has no qualifications for piloting such an aircraft, I hope she survives and fully recovers and has learned her first serious life lesson

you have shown consistently you offer no value to any discussion. - welcome to my ignore list

every photo I have seen regarding these measures have all been during the day - everybody knows that 90% of drunk driving happens at night or in the early hours of the morning so what is the point

Holy duck, that is quite shocking

we all have a favorite but as I get older I prefer someone else does all the heavy lifting or a lazy 66 in the morning ????

I noticed tonight in passing that central Pattaya has become noticeably less busy, several recently popular bars remain shut, I think many Christmas tourists are now on their way home or are in the process of - possibly now isolating before critical pre flight PCR testing

I was under the impression that people could be charged and convicted in Thailand in their absence - a law that was changed years ago, if they chose not to be present then their problem

why ? and agian raises serious questions about the reliability of current PCR testing in Thailand

that severely cut post could get you to my ignore list - not impressed

want to hear my story of having a really bad flu 30 years ago we all need to take stock of what is going on now, I read somewhere recently from a virologist that we are now dealing with a completly different disease - I believe him

do share yes maybe if a person in already seriously ill before getting it, I am not a covid skeptic but I am becoming an omicron skeptic increasing by the day

let me correct you but I do get your point mainstream media are reporting it to seem that way for reasons unclear there were already 9000 people in hospitals in the UK before omicron who were actually ill, 900 odd since omicron have been detected in hospital - 45 deaths of people who were detected with omicron - actual cause of death not clear, mainstream media need to stop with the sensationalism reporting and stop trying to make news instead of reporting news, something that has been going on now for a long time with sinister agenda's throw in

it is becoming increasingly clear that the only treatment required for omicron is a box of tissues provided of course that you have had 2 shots of an effective vaccine and don't get run over by a bus after a positive test (UK)

Would any of these officials test positive for IQ They must sit and watch skynews or the BBC all day and then post something

I agree with that, the recent Israely guy is evidence that the PCR testing is highly suspect - testing positive in Bangkok then testing negative in Samui shortly after - it has scam written all over it

yes, self interest and money is number 1 - I think everyone is fully aware of that

and that is the problem right there, health insurance covers people who are sick not people who are forced into an expensive stay in hospital that is not required - I can see the why insurance companies are refusing to pay, if local authorities and government want to force these non sick people into hospital or a dedicated quarantine facility then they should be paying for it or should have provided insurance that covered this - simple This has been going on for months and is clearly a money grab

They are completely ignoring rapid tests - says it all really

exactly, I have looked around at many dumb idiots throwing caution to the wind and ignoring basic rules - there are too many for the police to do much out it It will be very interesting as they prepare for going to the airport which will involve producing a negative PCR test.......................have fun with that
