    Could have been done at least a couple of weeks ago but hopefully not too late as the figures show how little Thailand has been effected compared to almost every other country in the world.

     

    Lets hope there have not been any errors in the calculations of the extent of spread of the virus.

    how long have you lived here ????????

     

    How many tests have they done 

     

    grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Is important if thai or foreigner? 

     

    the reason the public health office show this information because to warn other people who on the planes to test covid.

    To stop spread.

    Because their job.

    they show seat number, flight number etc. 

     

    sorry hurt your feeling, but is more important to do good job right?

    i happy they show it. Why not?

    You are very selective about what you respond to on TVF, I asked you a direct question yesterday and you didn't answer, probably because you didn't like the answer you would have to give 

     

    You are going on about facemasks and have made it your mission now while ignoring the really important issues about your government data 

     

    so here it is again 

     

    - what is the single most important thing your governemnt should be doing and is not doing 

     

    - why have Thailand only tested about 20,000 people in the last 3 months, how can they accurately report CV-19 confirmed cases of infected and dead if they are not testing ??????????

     

    I don't expect an answer - because you can't answer without admitting a gross failure

    I know this is TV and many people here like to points fingers at thailand for everything, but just to be fair, while Thailand still had its border opened to Chinese, rest of the world US, EU, UK, AU also kept their borders opened allowing Chinese tourists to enter.

    people are questioning their data because it doesn't add up or make sense 

     

    and they are testing very few people - I believe 20,000 in 3 months - with that level of testing how could they possibly know how many infected there really are and how many have died from CV-19 - impossible

     

    people are also questioning the childish foreigner remarks in every press release concerning CV-19 

     

    We also didn't like being called dirty farangs and being told to (deleted) off by the Thai Health minister Deputy PM - who seems to have now evaporated

     

    nobody is pointing fingers as such - we are just questioning their actions and data

    24 hours?

     

    This flight is TG916 and TG917

     

    TG916 arrives at LHR at 19.10

    TG917 (same plane) leaves LHR at 21.45

     

    That's 2.5 hours turnaround!

     

    I wouldn't want you running my airline!

    and I would want to be on either of those flights - or any flights for that matter unless they were specifically managed by a responsible government who was taking care of their own citizens and following special protocols on arrival

    I don't want to go anywhere.

     

    I have non-imm OA retired, married to Thai, not in greatest of health. I want to do everything by mail for obvious reasons. Do I have any options?

    if everything you have is legal and in order an agent will charge you 4k for doing the donkey work - if you don't meet the requirements like financials then expect to pay about 15kbaht for renewal

    thats not the way it works in thailand and you know it. faced with telling someone not to do something or removing the tools needed to do that something.. thais will always choose the latter, because, face.

     

    so by your logic the only way to stop the carnage on Thai roads (worst in the world) would be to stop people driving vehicles on the road - really ?

    Since there is very limited testing and official numbers are blatantly untrustworthy, we will only know it has really taken off when we hear that hospitals are being overwhelmed with critical cases. 

    but that's just it - they won't be, how many Thais right now a sick and at home and are not tested for CV-19 and even die and are still not tested

    was talking to the misses, who said lots of cases in Thailand and going to get messy in country areas. Also said most people cant afford the 8500B fee for test (dont know of any truth in that), so they are being told they have pneumonia and get sent home with rest and drugs.

    exactly and therefore never become part of the CV-19 data - I've been saying this for weeks 

     

    No test no report

     

    someone dies - no test no report

    Cases by area of Thailand

    What is a case ????????

     

    How is it defined ????????

     

    How many untested Thais untreated undiagnosed have died in the last 3 months at home of viral pneumonia and how many of the dead were tested to confirm they DID NOT HAVE CV-19 

     

    This is the very important information that will give a true accurate figure of what is really going on in Thailand, 7000 tests a month doesn't even come close 

     

    They are in denial pushing out this nonsense that means absolutely nothing and contributes nothing to the actual true picture of infection rate and spread in this country

    Only in Thailand: the virus has stopped having an exponential increase. It has "thailandized" itself, becoming unique and rejecting foreign standards.

    how many times do need to be told

     

    Thailand keeps coming out with these figures of the number of confirmed infections ....................THE IMPORTANT MISSING INFORMATION ...................................

     

    .........................HOW MANY ACTUAL TESTS DID THEY CARRY OUT..................................

     

    If they said we tested 100 people and 100 people had the virus - WHAT WOULD THAT TELL YOU

    then do the sensible thing and ban people from gathering and drinking in public

     

    banning alcohol sales is not the answer

     

    I was in a 7/11 yesterday and bought a can of fanta and drank it outside - should that be banned too ????

     

    It's not banning stuff that is the problem here it's the lack of logic that makes what they are doing complete nonsense although it really is no surprise at all

    I just want to add

     

    I was picking up some very negative sentiment when out and about yesterday, make no mistake - there are many Thais on the edge right now and with this constant dangerous anti foreigner sentiment being spread by the authorities do not underestimate how intolerant some Thais can become, most Thais that I personally know understand were it's at but there are a lot that don't and given that we could also be blamed for their loss of income and jobs - be very careful out there 

     

    The stupidity of those that should know better is unrivalled right now - there is anti western sentiment and it will only get worse - be careful
