Popular Post easydoor Posted February 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2020 Since when is the job of a PM to be 'happy'? His job is to listen to what his departments find necessary to do for the wellness of the Thai people. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBKK Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Everyone I know is so afraid of coming to Thailand because they are still allowing chinese to come here. They are going to lose all tourists from everywhere. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tchooptip Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Tell me I'm dreaming, some countries suspend all flights with China and here they want more chinese tourists by stressing that their health system is up to par, it's beyond comprehension even for a very small brain. For them to change their minds, someone in the government would have to catch this virus, that would make me laugh! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramdas Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 According to this article, it would seem to me that the sport minister makes more sense that the rest of them but sadly he’s being contradicted by the money first mentality by putting the entire population at risk without thinking of the consequences, do they ever ?! ????????♂️ I must assume that the words prevention and containment are not in Thailand interest, sadly.. Clearly, they’re not 100% in control of this fast spreading pandemic as it was previously mentioned by the man in charge. While other countries are declaring state of emergency hence banning Chinese flight from landing on their soil at the same time implementing measures in order to control and hopefully prevent the spreading of this virus..Thailand chooses to go the opposite relaxed way by continuing to welcome Chinese and the like on their land putting everyone else at risk ?!!! They really can’t think that far ahead can they ?! Sad to say the least ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to the peculiar Chinese markets we now have a new flu in the mix and it's festering all over Asia. It's been reported that half of the initial cases in the first weeks were people who worked in the market and they did nothing in response to this at first. Some Chines doctors warned about it, but in the beginning the authorities have created the worst trouble for them for spreading fake news, so they did something.????

TKDfella Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Well, looks like 'safety' goes to the rear once again. If the number of cases is still increasing the warning is for extra measures not less. When there are no further cases of infection then it's time to think again. That time hasn't yet arrived...but of course the PM has it under control 100%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
British Bulldog Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 For those of you who may have seen the comments by the World Health Organization who sent expert Dr's to review and see what China was doing to contain the virus, WHO was very impressed and commended the Chinese for their efforts ... then a stupid PM says; "Arh don't worry about it, let them in !" .... all for the sake of loss of face and loss of money, he's never thought that the Chinese may in fact say; "Hey thanks a lot Prayut for helping us to contain the situation !" .... it's a loss of Chinese money of their own people do travel, better to keep them at home for a while, keep their funds and the virus where both can be controlled .... where's the problem ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think that's sensible? How would this "hurt the feelings" of a nation that has already suspended package tours out of the country? The Chinese presently seem to be more sensible than the idiots in charge here. Edited February 1, 2020 by madmitch 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnnyBKK Posted February 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2020 Someone from the gov should wake up and think that if Thailand still has chinese tourists while other countries are banning anyone who visited China in the last 14 days they might be next on the international travel blacklist. And if that happens, nobody will come to Thailand anymore, not just the chinese. So step up your game, apply the same same as the big players, ban anyone who visited China in the last 14 days and save your western tourists. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phkauf Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Brilliant strategy by Prayut and the government leaders. I guess they missed the class on epidemiology. So in a week or two when Thailand has the highest number of infections outside China and tourism completely collapses, they have nobody to blame but themselves (I am sure they are trying to find a way to pin it on the FFP and Taksin's people). Most Western tourists prefer not to get a life threatening disease on holiday. I think the coveted Indian market has a similar mindset. At least their complete ineptitude has some positive effect, the baht is down quite a bit lately. So high fives all around!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
