Chinese tourists in Italy per year: around 2 million.
In Thailand: Over 10 million.
Thailand should be by now much worse than Italy. It is the hot&humid.
even if temp is somehow involved what about all the shopping centers - hotels - hospitals - airports - buses - mass transport etc that are all air conditioned and the most likely places for transmission ?

This is good for me to know as I am heading to the U.S. tomorrow via Japan and returning via the same transit in about ten days. Will prepare to "self isolate" at home for two weeks upon my return. Let's just keep it at that, though. So, no new restrictions, please. I just need the U.S. to not ban people coming in from Thailand or Japan in the next 48 hours.
confusing as it is I believe the new additional group of countries including UK and US have a different set of rules from the other group e.g. China

Does these mean for those that transit through S. Korea, this is a must if coming from say the United States. I am confused. In order to get the certificate of medical clearance it saysValid document for COVID-19 lab test. Now how in the hell is one supposed to get that if you can not get tested. Guess they just signed there end as an Airline (Korean Air).......
I believe it is Thailand enforcing this not Korea

The problem that worries me is the fact that people showing no symptoms can be spreading it
This is why it is important for authorities to be giving accurate information about numbers and locations
Right now it is assumed that Pattaya is virus free - right ?

That is why we are not seeing Thailand becoming a new Italy or any tropical countries suffering a major epidemic. There will be cases but not in huge numbers. Community spreading is much more difficult here due to climate.

But yesterday, in the news, some Thai public health official was talking about threatening the guy with a prosecution under the Computer Crimes Act for posting content online that could create public panic, harm to the country,
people on here keep making the point - why do we not hear (through social media) about all the sick Thais that most of us believe there are
the above pretty much answers that question

The best strategy is for all of us to ignore him until he goes away.
well there is an element of constantly trying to defend the indefensible and using the "we are all Thai haters nonsense" which is not actually true, we do keep pointing out failures (of which there are many) in the hope that maybe eventually the penny will drop ........................ when someone smart asks - why have we not progressed like S Korea or Singapore or Malaysia or Japan or Taiwan or Hong Kong - they are actually the real hubs - we are hubs of air pollution - road deaths - Military coups and being poor...what has happened ?
Thailand needs to change - democracy ? oh right - when 6 million voters voted for a party who have been wiped out for what and by who ? oh and lets now jail these popular people because 6 million voted for them ................ seriously ? Yinn seriously ?

25 minutes ago, Yinn said:I not say it. Not me
ONE guy say it.
Everydat TVF 25+ some farang say worse thing about thai. (They live here)
You not say it. Not you.
I not care. And I not blame you for that some people say.
I know you want to defend your country Thailand and 99% of posters on here want to do the same, yes we do point out some negative things (hard to find aren't they)
The general reason people point out negative things is because we want to see improvement for "all" the Thai people including you Yinn - yes you, we want you to have a better life and a safer life - you keep defending your government - your government are not the people, you are defending Analtun - how on earth can you justify that ?
Thailand has had huge money for decades from tourism - where has it gone ?
Why does Thailand (the hub of everything) not have their own car brand or mobile phone brand ? answer that very simple question Yinn - why ?
Why has Thailand not developed over the last 30 years - why ?
You have been short changed for years yet you defend it - why ?
Here is a clue - follow the money.............your money or it should have been
nothing more to say except waken up - we on here support Thailand and want to see it improve - if that means being critical then it is what it is

I am surprised SO upset Anutin words.
Very sensitive people.
Everyone should listen to Gweiloman.
he win POTY YInn “Smart Foreigner of Today” award.
Congratulations Gweiloman!!
nobody is upset - most people on here have a thought for Thailand and want it to do well
If you think Thailand can survive without western tourists then you are delusional
I think it is about to be tested - I personally know 10 people who had booked to come here on holiday and have decided not too, various reasons but ultimately they don't like the tone
Western people (just like Thai) can very easily be disrespected - that's 2/3 of Thai tourism and tourism GDP going somewhere else - we will take our smell and our money elsewhere

I honestly can't understand why a government official of a country that relies on and has relied on tourism from the west for years past and years to come (at least 50% of tourism GDP) would be stupid enough to say such things - it really beggars belief
It would not surprise me if western tourists booked their holidays elsewhere - they are not stuck for choice
Thailands attitude stinks of late - nothing to do with virus or anything else, at some point going forward the money sucked from the people will make a difference and I am talking South America difference - Venezuela being a fine example - an oil rich country that on paper should have prospered but got sucked dry by those in charge, where is the wealth now ?............in greedy hands and far away from the people
If Thailand keeps on this very sour hate path towards western tourists there is only one loser and it isn't western tourists

another lame attempt at blaming foreigners again - do Thais take responsibility for anything ?

not so sensible
Of note, Phuket International Airport General Manager Thanee Chuangchoo yesterday told The Phuket News that the medical certificate requirement would apply to all travellers only transiting through any of the six risk areas.
Asked how that was possible while the passengers were in transit, Mr Thanee replied, “That is the passenger’s responsibility. My responsibility is to protect against the spread of the virus.”
