Cabinet agrees in principle to P-move’s demand for land rights
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
And yet students get shot at, water cannon (with chemicals) and gaoled? I suppose that fear is a powerful driver. -
Definitely plenty of empty rooms in February. Some 'Sandbox' hotels have been full though.

You will probably get a room in most hotels. What I do not know is 'walk in' rates v people like Agoda/Booking.com etc. It is very competitive out there. For example - I go to KPN every year for a few nights about this time. Same hotel every year. Agoda rates - 2,000 baht per night. "Special, special offer". Hotel rates own web-site - 3,000 baht per night.

The latest guests had arrived under the Test and Go process. They were found negative after the one night in quarantine and allowed to go to their pre-booked villa. They were then found to be positive after a 5th day PCR test from the villa. As they had very mild symptoms, they were allowed to stay in the villa for a 10 day quarantine. They were allowed outside but not supposed to travel far.

The busiest place on the island now is Bangrak. I have not been to Chaweng for a while but it was dead the last time hat I went. Friends told me that it was opening up a bit over Christmas, but it is nothing like it's former days. More than enough to do in Bangrak for a couple of nights. Mainland (Donsak) to Samui (Nathon), the ferries (Raja) are on a timetable. https://www.phanganferries.com/time-table/?from=12&to=2

Fake news ; - after the illegal coup, the man at the head of the government said that he would reduce corruption. Fail (big time).

Most people do not realise that the pedestrian has to wait until the traffic stops. The UK has changed that law this year. Now vehicles must stop for pedestrians. Not sure if Thailand plans something similar. The really sad thing for this young doctor was that the traffic had stopped for her and thus, she had the right of way once she was on the crossing. RIP Doc.

Partygoers slapped with 31K charge for dinner at Isaan restaurant
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
I wonder if any of the 31,501 THB was for alcohol? My restaurant bills are usually 50/50 food/alcohol. -

You missed off 'Leave to go home and vote'. -

That is exactly what I do for the staff in my company. If they do not take the 14 days - they can have cash instead. -
I do not think that you would be allowed to quarantine in an apartment. Too much risk for the other tenants and the 'management' may not allow it. I can only speak for Koh Samui. We have had a number of tourists that booked to stay in private villas, and they were allowed to quarantine there. The hospital asked if if it was OK from our side. But it should be noted that these 'Covid' cases had mild or zero symptoms. If there were more serious symptoms, you would want to stay in the hospital anyway. But the rest of the family stayed in the villa.

A bit of a mistaken view. The common cold has not killed more than 5 million people in less than two years. Not really similar at all. More than 5 million people worldwide have died from Covid-19 less than two years after the novel pathogen was first documented, https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-11-01/covid-deaths-top-5-million-even-as-vaccines-slash-fatality-rate
