There seems to be a lot of criticism here in this forum. So what would you do? You have two challenges - the health of the people and the health of the economy. What would be your approach? You as the Thai government seems to not have understand that there is a third alternative, namely, save the peoples health and by thet get a better economy.

Traubert Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 5 hours ago, sup3r1or said: Vietnam has banned all flights to and from mainland China and suspended new tourist visas for Chinese nationals or foreigners who have been there in the past two weeks. All passenger trains to and from China have also been halted. that’s how you do your best Vietnam has a 786 mile border with China. Most of it open. You can stand on the river bridge at Fanchengang and watch them taking boatloads of stuff across the river minute by minute. It's about 10m wide. I've seen leaky borders but theirs takes the biscuit. Their was only one passenger train anyway and you had to get off and walk across because they aren't the same gauge. You don't really know much about it do you? Yeah, that's how you do it. ????

Without the health of the people there would be no economy, so the approach is pretty dam well obvious to most. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisH Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 They can thank the Chinese goverment for not allowing Chinese tour groups to leave their country. Leave it up to the Thai government and the problem would be much more severe. Other countries put a temporary ban on Chinese tourists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top brass needs to be seen doing something , even something ineffectual , just to cover his ass against any criticism that might get him transferred away from the trough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivananahuahin Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 i think we need be honest, now the government try to explain what to do in case of infections,but actually if this virus go to the schools it will be difficult for the ministers to explain to the people why is it happening,i think they make a big mistake,they need stop for the moment the arrivals from China to avoid more infections.It is not about education,just a choice between economy or the health of your people.Errare humanum est,perseverare diabolicum!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's a reasonable approach, IF one believes that the people without it will eventually pick it up indirectly without it being forced on them. But we know Thai culture impedes this process and so many people don't seem to learn or improve in any meaningful way. So, flaunting it is a reasonable way to help them understand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
