Saint Nick Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I will just wait and see and reserve my judgement. Having seen, how flood victims in Thailand were "donated" with cans of fish, way beyond the "best before date", I believe all the good hearted Thais, when I see the results! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNXexpat Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 But coming by plane from China is still ok.

I still think it's the right decision, but it was handled very poorly...which is probably less surprising. Thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, but never let that fact and common sense get in the way of stupidity...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expecting the ship to pay for "humanitarian aid" would be like the Red Cross offering to sell sandwiches to Ethiopian famine victims. Think you will find "humanitarian aid" was intended to mean making available, facilitating and arranging suppliers such as food, fuel and water as needed.

natway09 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 A ship full of what looks like non affected cases not allowed to dock but Chinese people coming out of China can still travel to Thailand unaffected & basically no checks. What is this Government thinking ????$$$$$????? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need. The beaches of Pattaya have all they need, thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a good example to make the point aid is free and if Thailand WERE now to charge the ship which is quite possible would be wrong on so many levels.

Are you talking medical care or just resupplying the ship's stores? They got money. why should they get stuff for free while out on a luxury holiday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the ship is being escorted by a Thai frigate (gotta keep the Westerdam from going rogue) to disembark passengers at Sihanoukville, Cambodia. In the end, it appears Thailand did nothing. "Cambodian authorities will conduct onboard health checks and provide visa-free services to passengers, an unnamed senior government official told local state-aligned outlet Fresh News. He said a docking permit was granted after the ship's management assured the government no passengers or crew had COVID-19." https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Coronavirus/Cambodia-permits-Westerdam-cruise-ship-to-dock-at-Sihanoukville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
