Thai police in massive debt - they owe 270 billion baht
connda replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
A good start would be to start impounding the vehicles of the 80% of the speeders who get automatic speeding tickets they refuse to pay. Double the fine for non-payment and collect the impound fees. -
A year ago 'experts' would have called that explanation conspiracy and the mutations would become more and more deadly, and would have said that the only way out is through vaccine herd immunity. One year later were back to normal virology regarding the nature of viral mutations and natural herd immunity. Even the great Dr Yong is now admitting virological norms - over time viruses become more infectious and less dangerous until they burn out. That your left with a seasonal flu or a seasonal cold - or nothing at all.

Stricter Disease Controls Expected on Omicron Outbreaks
connda replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Not as long as I can. They'll destroy the Thai economy and when the economy goes 'civil' society goes with it. We'll sit it out in the sticks and watch. Some of us get to that age where we can be happy without having to be entertained. -

Just close it permanently. Make it into an regular road and open your arms to the New Normal Thailand - a country killing its previous cultural attraction in order to make itself a cheap version of a sterile Singapore with none of Singapore's first-class infrastructure. "Ahhh-Choo" Close it!!! Why not - it will take decades for the majority of the highly washed masses to get over the Mysophobia that they have collectively embraced in the last two years. -
Omicron Wave Expected to be Less Severe Than Delta
connda replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News Headlines
It's way too early to do that. Masks (double masks even better), proper social distancing, frequent hand washing and alcohol sanitation as well as closure of risky venues like night entertainment, massage, pubs, clubs, temples and other place where large numbers of people congregate - malls too. And lockdowns - especially with the highly, highly transmissible Omicron variant laying siege to the country soon. It's coming! Researchers found that Omicron SARS-CoV-2 infects and multiplies 70 times faster than the Delta variant and original SARS-CoV-2 in human bronchus. (https://www.med.hku.hk/en/news/press/20211215-omicron-sars-cov-2-infection). Honestly - the borders should be shut as well as all highways interconnecting provinces and big cities should be locked down before this pandemic takes a tragic human toll on the good citizens of Thailand who 'do the right thing' by getting shots, boosters, and just staying home to keep the rest of us safe! -
Me too. I believe that Thailand should become a completely dry country and outlaw all alcohol and night-entertainment forever. Then make sure that only tourists with a minimum of $100,000 USD or equivalent in their home bank account be allowed entrance to The Kingdom. It's time for a New Normal morality to envelope Thailand. Then it will be nice and quiet. I sort of like Chiang Mai now that the city center is empty. Serene. And given all the completely nutso driving I've seen on the couple of times I ventured out to the highway, getting all the drunks off the road is a good idea. Nice, quiet, and New Normal in a really really Old Normal sort of way. Quaint.

Swedish restaurant owners in Thailand hopes the worst is behind them

They should have remained in Sweden. They would have never had to shut their doors. -

covid insurance of 50.000 USD still required ?
connda replied to Emmarose's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus

A lot would be solved if they would stop holding foreigners to a different standard of care than they do Thais. Thais pop positive and go to a Covid quarantine facility if asymptomatic or may even be allowed to quarantine at home. A foreigner if forced into an expensive private hospital. Period. You don't have to be Einstein to understand the greed driving the government to force asymptomatic foreign cases into their 'friend's' expensive hospitals. Nobody I know is coming here and I had a lot of US friends who came here annually and stayed upwards of a month. I'll keep those friends apprised of the current 'insurance fiasco' and forced hospital incarceration. They already know about the latter. None of my friends want to deal with this nonsense. The difference between schemes and scams now are blurred beyond recognition.

Everyone who has an financial stake in Big Pharma wants the asymptomatic Covid positive narrative pushed to "11" on the volume dial. Then - comes the insurance companies who are collectively holding the bag on liability. Take a guess at what will eventually break the narrative that people without symptoms are "sick" - Insurance companies who will refuse to pay policies unless a Covid positive 'case' is symptomatic and actually sick. This should be entertaining.

A picture is worth 1000 words: Wait for the government to forcefully incarcerate the first foreigner who is fully covered for Covid with an 'accepted' policy after which the insurance refuses to pay, the hospital hands the foreigner a hefty hospital bill, the the government holds the foreigner hostage until they pay. I think I'd start thinking that the 'worst case scenario' for tourist arrivals in 2022 is looking more like 2 to 5 million (or less) depending on the direction of the wind, new "variants", bureaucratic flip-flops, utter confusion between ministerial offices, and insurance companies refusing to honor policies. Happy New Year!!! <sound of Whoopie Cushion>
