A group of British people got infected so yeah statiscally ethnicity doesn't matter unless it was a group 100% Asian British people to prove your point I am racist. I am mixed so I couldn't care less about your nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as the foreign engineers who are required for the advanced projects such as skytrains, subways and bridges. Then the Thai economy can prosper with all it has left - rice and girls for exports . You think the foreign engineers work for free? And that the foreign investments are gifts? Without Thailand and other developing economies here in SEA, a lot of these foreign engineers will be in the dole queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a white guy, I believe I'm unlikely to catch it, but I wouldn't want my misses or kids to get it. I doubt its about ur skin color. In ur case it might be that sufficient alchohol Levels in the blood might prevents the virus to enter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, they need him otherwise Prayuth can kiss his PM job goodbye. Democracy, serving the people, all those concepts have been swept away, so that the dictator can remain in his illegally obtained position.... That alone says everything, Thailand really is a banana republic. And then to think Anutin is lecturing anyone ? He should be ashamed by putting a well known coup monger and dictator into a position of power. What a way to screw over anyone that voted for him. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaanbiker Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Nobody said something to the 3,000 + Germans who arrived via Luxus Liner on Phuket? I'm only wondering why? Thais wouldn't just say nothing only because they spent a few million baht in a day? They don't need our money, do they? Where was the Minister when they needed him?

Popular Post ThailandGuy Posted February 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) When i hear Thai talking about "Farang" it always gives me the feeling that it is being used in a negative way, given they way they look towards the farang when they pronounce that word. What this minister does is only confirming that feeling. He does not care about insulting caucasion people, he does not care about all the good things they bring to Thailand, he is just one of them who hates "farangs" if you ask me. It's pure racism and hate. Should I believe the experts in my country as they tell us that wearing a mask will not help from getting infected with the virus? They say It will just reduce spreading of the virus a bit once a person is infected. Anyway this minister doing more harm to his own country by such statements then the virus itself does. Land of smiles? I don't think so anymore. At least it does not feel that way.

Once again another government official putting his mouth into gear before engaging his brain! Well said... There are two issues here; 1.The wearing of masks which has been very adequately covered. 2.The abuse trumpeted forth and directed at "farangs" by a minister in a national gov't. I think nothing will happen to this particular fuedal baron because,I believe,his views very accurately reflect those of the other fuedal barons and clan godfathers which make up the aforesaid National Gov't of Cloudcuckooland. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. How could anyone staying in Thailand longer than 10 minutes expect Anutin would face consequencies? 1. He just speaks out what his fellow regime morons think. 2. The beloved General needs him and his party to stay in power - at least until he proceeds the next coup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forza2002 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 News conference yesterday in Korat, PM Prayut and his entourage and not a single mask in sight. The person in the light blue shirt with the baseball cap just behind Prayut looks like Anutin. Has Prayut now ordered that nobody has to wear masks inline with what WHO has been telling the media? Mind you, not many Thais outside of Bangkok were wearing them in the first place... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nong38 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 The UK health authorities last week said that face masks are almost useless. The chances of catching the virus are relatively small as long as you don't stand close to an infected person for more than 5 minutes, I think they said close was deemed to be 2 metres, yes I know how do you know who is infected, but the face mask wont save you and if you are wearing one they are only good for 2 hours before they need replacing. I assume the Health Minister was in-between the changing of the mask. The Thai minister is obviously poorly informed and does not know when to keep his mouth in standby, but, when there is microphone or camera it is very difficult here. Sometimes the people who are put in so called responsible positions is both amazing and disappointing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
