In his letter, Prayut, on behalf of the Thai government and Thai people, extended his “sincere condolences and deepest sympathies” to Premier Li and the Chinese people. 

 

Prayut stated that Thailand and China share a close and special bond of friendship, and he had full confidence that China will overcome this situation and emerge stronger. 

 

Prayut also expressed his appreciation for China’s generosity towards the care of Thai people in Wuhan and other affected areas and expressed the Thai government’s readiness to assist China in any possible way to alleviate the situation.

Meanwhile, President of the National Assembly and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Chuan Leekpai, also sent a letter of sympathy to the chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China, Li Zhanshu. 

 

In his letter, Chuan Leekpai expressed concern about the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan as well as his confidence that with strict measures and efficient management, China would be able to control and eventually eliminate the disease. He wished that Chinese people would stay safe through this emergency and that the worst of the crisis would soon be over. 

 

He reaffirmed the support of the Thai people through this period of hardship.

Crash Baht Crash.

We are so happy right now for that special relationship. So special they can still come and hang out despite a spreading pandemic.

Dearest Xi thanks for your virus and wiping out our last hope of convincing anyone tourist numbers will be up 2.5% this season ????

Why ? Does he send his send his Sympathy to those dieing in poor countries of starvation, It's only virus that will go away sooner or later.

More likely a letter of sympathy that they are so far behind in the deaths on the road statistics !

It's not that simple. Over 300 are dead, far more to come. Death count jumped from 260 to 305 overnight. It's now spread throughout China (two weeks) and twenty countries in three weeks.

 

Sooner or later. Spanish flu was later.

 

 

 

 

I'm guessing this means they won't bar entry to the country nor halt flights. Alrighty then......

We are going to go through a period of scaremongering now, with posts like this, based on what - "I heard" 

 

How many factories are there making masks in China, why wouldn't they satisfy demand, I worked in China for years, masks are commonly worn, within industry N95 has been the standard for many, many years, they keep huge stocks.

All these masks are not effective in protection. Some are believed to be against transmission worn properly. I am also reading accounts of shortages.

"Brown nosing" so that Thailand can try and get the Chinese tourist back bigger, better than ever before, when this is over.

Prayut will be able to say, "we stood by you" (at the risk of our population).

Not according to many reports I have read.

Must be true then, if you have read it. Using the same thought process everything that TAT prints must also be true? Choose what you want to believe.

How many factories are still operating? A population of what? 1.4 billionrequiring 3-4 clean, uncontaminated masks each, every day...…

Then, they have to be despatched country wide in a lockdown situation and  then they are sold at extortionate prices everywhere - regardless of human misery.

why do you believe that China can possibly keep up with demand?

what nonsense.

Obviously our opinions are somewhat different, mine are based on having worked in China for some years, your opinions appear to be based on irrational panic, an opinion that you are quite entitled to have ???? 

Revel in the media created sensationalism

Take 10 min to read this. Look at the numbers and and the numbers coming. There is a real reason to be worried as this will get much much worse. Also for Thailand.

ps. I hope you remember me. Nobody else seems to. Wanna buy a railway?

 

Remember next time you get an STD to send a friendly letter to the person who gave it to you.

I just now figured out what this is all about. TAT needs to get those arrival numbers up, it's a brilliant ploy: be the last country that lets Chinese in and they'l all come to Thailaan!

Especially for Thailand:

 

They won't be able to quarantine Bangkok the way the commies can back in China.
