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

“We would like to ask people who travel overseas to at-risk locales to follow the government’s requirement of spending 14 days in quarantine so we can all overcome this situation together,” they said.

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

Plus we can’t find any , only gel starting to be released now still no masks in Korat, maybe they hoarding from us

there have been several instances of Thai recycling used hospital face masks - one report showed huge bags of them being washed then ironed and packed up for resale as new - how disgusting is that

and then we had the Thai guy complaining earlier in the week about his face mask purchase of over 1 million baht all rotting before he could shift them to China lol

Is this a real account?

 

He removed some of his social media accounts recently for posting wrong information. I wonder if this is from a fake account as it just seems so absurd. 

 

If he has said this then it is utterly deplorable. Could you imagine a minister in a normal developed nation stating that all the Asians are the reason for the spread of this and should be avoided at all costs. It is almost Hitler esque. 

I would find it very hard to believe that a Minister of any country could come out with such ignorant madness - very surprised 

But ................. 

Maybe he just got sacked and this is his final official message 

perhaps just like in the UK, those that think they may have the virus are told not to go near a hospital and self isolate immediately - and call the hospital or a hot line instead, I don't know what the official line on this is but common sense tells me the above is very likely and is why there are no huge numbers clogging up hospitals, it would not be a good idea - would it ?

scenario - 

sick Thai person - calls hospital to report being ill

Hospital/help line - do not come near a hospital or go near other people and immediately self isolate at home or in your room

sick Thai person - but I am really really sick

Hospital/help line - do not come near a hospital or go near other people and immediately self isolate at home or in your room

sick farang - I think I may have the virus as I am feeling ill

Hospital/help line - stay away from other people and come to specific hospital and bring your credit card and bankbook, be prepared to stay for at least two - to four weeks lol

So they're getting ready for when it hits big which will be coming soon I guess

 

Good to see they are thinking about quarantine measures, I hope this is done on a city / town by town level and enforced by the military with only supplies being allowed through.

 

I live in Hua Hin and suspect that enforcing a quarantine there would be very easy to do compared to some of the much larger cities like Bangkok.

 

If there was a large outbreak in Bangkok I would not want to see them all fleeing and coming down to Hua Hin bringing their infections with them.

 

good to see someone on here has a handle on things

BANGKOK(NNT) - The government has set up yet another center related to COVID-19, this time the COVID-19 epidemic management center chaired by the Prime Minister.

That is a lot of effort for just 13 people
