Pattaya encourages Chinese to overcome coronavirus crisis

[AhFarangJa]

I have an idea, How about they all get together and encourage the Government, both local and National to clean up the place and get rid of all the touts, sharks, corrupt police, ets, etc.

Representatives from both the government and private sectors, including citizens in Pattaya, banded together at Pattaya City Hall today (February 3) to encourage Chinese people to overcome the coronavirus crisis.

It appears that eBay already has amulets for the Coronavirus.

The world is tooling up and getting healthcare facilities to cope with coronavirus vs non-coronavirus cases. China has thankfully given us some breathing space to get ready. But pandemic is now baked in I fear.

makes me sick to see them waving those commie flags.

[Swedenlars]

But they still have the Indians. Weren't they the new target group ? But maybe these are now scared coming  to Thailand. Well, maybe we westerners could help out. If you say sorry kicking us out of Thailand over the last few years.????

That's actually mandarin for "we miss your money"

[guzzi850m2]

Well it is a tourist city after all, sooo. 

 

But I rather they found somebody else than the Chinese, when I came here first time in 2002 or there about, there was none, happy days.

And to think...not too many years ago waving the red flag would have gotten you thrown in prison. But how wonderfully far we've come....and now we're sure to see many, many more of these flags in the future. Before long they'll be everywhere. Thank you general for blessing us with your boundless wisdom and leading us into the light.

More Russians than ever before - went to the Phratamnak Night Bazaar last night for a look see - cheap as chips and was   probably the only non-Russian amongst a thousand folk that I could see. 

That's a different kind of virus

Desperately pathetic. And pathetically desperate.

A meaningless but harmless gesture. If it makes them feel better, well, OK.

Oh come on! Don't you understand the therapeutic value of flag waving?

How about asking them to stop eating meat for a year?  If you want to be healthy in China, don't eat the meat.  On the way to work, would see people heaving their cuts out, blowing chunks.  All the years I lived there I never got sick once. 

Which is strange because in 13 years here I've never seen that once anywhere in China I have traveled. I guess it's the company you keep. Saw a young kid puke on a bus once, but maybe that's not so unusual.

 

By the way, 'zhong guo jia you' doesn't mean 'China, dont give up.' It means 'China, put in oil.' Their way of saying make a greater effort. Usually used at sporting events.

You'd have the same response if you asked them to stop breathing for a year!

Really has nothing to do with eating meat but more like their total lax of common hygiene .  I think the WHO should send over Dr's/Nurses and have them show on say TV movie theaters the proper way to clean animal products and prevent disease in their homes and cities with proper sanitary methods  like no spitting/<deleted>ting in streets. Washing hands regulary and especially after going to the bathroom or handling foods. Maybe common sense to us  but seems not to them.  All these Bird Flu, SARS, Swine Flu , Corona Virus cases from China. They need better sanitary conditions/knowldge  to stop spread of disease.

They waved the rising sun in the 1940's.  They waved old glory during the Vietnam war, and now they are waving the Chinese flag.  Do you see a pattern ? It is this personality quirk that makes the Thai master class so endearing to its neighbors. 

 

To be fair to China in some way, they have kept world wide inflation down by keeping the prices for electronics low.  Manufacturers are highly competitive within China, always trying to out do one another.  The government does shield them from the outside world, but not from each other.

Call it an election , ensure it's done in a free and fair matter and allow Parliament to legislate for good government. And whilst we're at it allow the people to determine whether to govern as a republic. And then I woke up.

With the official (!) numbers of infected persons in China rising each and every day, that little fellow from Wuhan may be here to stay for a while.

 

[chilli42]

Did you consider that the mayor was told to do something visible, by higher ups, to show Chinese tourists they are still welcome in Pattaya?  That is a sharp departure from my own country where even looking Asian is reason for suspicion and fear even when it involves long term residents.  Kudos to the mayor for doing this nonsensical request in such a low key manner.  The temptation to overkill must have been strong.
