Didn't they just give the Thailand round of the MotoGP a thumbs up this week were tens of thousands will be gathering over 3 days sharing pretty much everything from toilets to underpants - that is massive hypocrisy right there  

6 million people voting for their favoured political party is no small thing and when their voice and vote is trashed like it was nothing - is a very big error

What do they know that we don't ? 

maybe they have detected people with COVID-19 infections arriving from Thailand 

If that is the case then they should say so

It is the only rational explanation I can think of

This is also the second time Kuwait has pointed in the direction of Thailand

send them all to Russia since they are part of the problem

what is wrong with that picture 

Is he actually touching the skin of the person being tested ?

sure looks like it from the photo

This is not up to employers to do - it is up to the government of Thailand to enforce a travel ban if one is required

Department of Disease Control under the Ministry of Public Health has instructed all medical facilities that conduct lab tests for Covid-19 infection to inform the department of the results

how about informing everyone of the results including the World Health Organisation

Dr Sopon Iamsirithaworn, Director of the Bureau of General Communicable Diseases, said free examination would be provided to person showing symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, sneezing or panting, and to those who have returned from high-risk countries, or working with foreign tourists. The offer extends to their family members at both government and private medical centres nationwide.

do they have to travel to get tested if they are feeling ill ?

Bus Taxi BTS Train ?

No you haven't got it wrong it's always been the plan after being first on the list after China it made Thailand "look" unsafe now that Thailand is 12th after China they can restart the reporting process.

They are not going to report anything that has a negative effect on tourism, that has been clear to me for the last 4 weeks - how many cases in Thailand - well going by models elsewhere in the world - Thailand has thousands - but hey maybe they are the exception  

The constant news here is about the impact on tourism and the money while sensible governments recognise the threat - Thailand doesn't seem to fit the profile, I really do hope I am wrong - it would be a travesty if I am not

If Thailand is covering up what is really going on and they are hiding (not testing) the real figures ............well if you don't test there is nothing to report is there ? and at 9000baht a pop - who is turning up for tests anyway ?

What country in the world right now is charging people to get tested ?  seriously ?

I hope I am wrong

If you can't handle traffic passing you on both sides on a multilane highway, please just don't drive here.  You are a danger to yourself and others

been driving here 15 years travelled almost 100,000km in Thailand and surrounding countries - in my home country I am a qualified driving instructor - never had an accident on a public road all my life and have done some motor sport in my time

This undertaking law in Thailand is very key to the carnage and mayhem seen on Thai roads - do I undertake ? yes - but I do it safely on a vehicle that allows me to own the road, some of the cam video I have seen and also what I have witnessed myself during my travels - the driving is quite horrendous, no surprise when Thailand is probably the worst in the world for road accidents and deaths - part of the problem is complete lack of law enforcement 

yearly deaths on the roads in the UK are about 1800 and in Thailand it is almost twice that per month

Bus accidents in the UK maybe two a year worth reporting - Thailand - almost daily and those are the ones reported 

Run along and lecture someone else - with all due respect

If they run out of masks use a panty liner
