nothing to do with interpreting the law correctly in a banana republic

when foreign diplomats from the US EU and others around the world voice their opinion on such matters openly and in public then Thailand needs to pay attention

Thailands response sounded like it came from a classroom of 6 year olds - unbelievable

they are obviously out of their depth and will pay for their childish ignorance  

in recent weeks this country seems to be going down the s h I tter on multiple levels 

it really is disturbing

and that is on top of all the normal type s h I t that we have seen for the last 6 years

it really can't go on like this

They hate westerners because we know and call it

I think Thai people will eventually get it 

6 million people right now must be very p issed off

The junta thinks they don't matter - I honestly think that is a grave error and I can understand why

Could be , would be , should be. any prove for this at all? Who on this forum knows anyone with the virus?

I trust the World health Organisation more than your opinion mate - no offence

Oh and how would you know who has or hasn't got the virus in Thailand without a valid test

Latest

A new report from a WHO infectious disease modeling team based at Imperial College London is estimating about two-thirds of Covid-19 cases worldwide have gone undetected. The analysis suggests the global spread of the novel coronavirus is significantly greater than the current volume of confirmed cases.

I said about 3 weeks ago that there could be many infected people in Thailand who are living at home and sick and likely being told just to stay there or have been sent there

Dont think that is their job to deal with fires 

not sure the Thai police have any idea what their job is to be honest, seems that all they can do is set up a roadblock and fine people for not wearing a helmet or not having a driving licence, beyond that doesn't seem to be part of their remit, writing tickets seems to be the limit - not much beyond a traffic warden in the UK

Govt to ‘seriously’ crack down on people burning forest land

 

Now we're really really seriously going to do our job. Seriously!!!!

yes they are seriously taking it serious beyond any level of serious they seriously said before 

seriously ?

so lets take two points raised here while also considering the severe challenges going forward 

So domestic spend (Thai people) is increasing while tourism and incomes across the board are going through the floor

yes that makes a lot of sense, keep saying it often enough and it might come true

Covid -19 is almost eradicated in Thailand so everyone welcome

There is no doubt that these people tell a great yarn

Surprised no mention of any hubs

Were they arguing about buying a bigger telly?

looks like living luxury - sad really 

speaking of children - whoever wrote that is a diplomatic genius 

How's that for double talk

at some point in the near future some consciensious  senior doctor is going to break and divulge all he knows and I suspect it won't be pretty and possibly career ending

If I was the family I'd be wanting to see test results and be asking some very probing questions 

It suspect that doctors here are told what to say under heavy pressure from government even if it involves not being wholly truthful

Surprised they did not mention that it is not CoVid 19

not surprised at all, would not be surprised if they didn't even test for it...….what they don't know they don't have to lie about

A friend told me recently (Sat) about an Asian guy (almost certain Chinese) walking into a venue he was in (LKM), he was sweating  profusely and looked very ill indeed, his shirt was soaking and you could see water droplets on his exposed skin - definitely had a serious problem going on

He said he never saw a place empty so quickly, the guy sat down and people actually got up and moved away - you could see staff getting into a panic not want to serve him, pretty much everyone headed for the exit - no idea what happened after that

Don't know what is going on with this young man Mark but it is highly suspicious IMO

I hope he recovers soon

Crashed going UP a hill,thats a new one, looks like he set off in too high

a gear,tried to change to lower gear and miss it,resulting in bus rolling

backwards and over turning.  RIP those dead,like its reported should

not have gone up the hill

 

regards Worgeordie

too much information mate - I think it is safe to say that neither bus nor driver were fit for the task which isn't at all a surprise in Thailand

We have about 1800 road deaths in the UK annually with a similar population to Thailand

Thailand has near double that per month

Pretty much says it all really 

Road Safety costs huge money - Thailand has no intention of spending 

The only people reporting tourism down are those that are trafficking and gouging Chinese tour groups
