SuwadeeS Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Because the Thai prisons are overcrowded. Thailand does not care about international human rights. Thailand should be brought to the International Crime Court in Den Haag, because the prisoners are tortured in different ways. Each inmate has less space than half a sqm. No wonder that they get easy infected. Thailand must build more prisons, or just speed up the deportation process. Thailand must treat the prisoners as human and not same animals. There might will be some international lawsuits in the future. The truth can not be hidden forever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamalaRider Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 8 hours ago, scorecard said: Which seems to suggest that in Thailand there's a lack of checking / screening somewhere in the check-in / boarding etc., processes. Sadly, checking / screening is of absolutely no use. The incubation period is up to 24 days and will spread even without symptoms. There's only one way to minimize spreading it and that's to close borders and for people to minimize their contact with each other. Virus isn't racist or judgemental so who gets is just having bad "Joss", as James Clavell wrote in one of his books. It's very important to remember that so far, not many have contracted the virus in Thailand or neighbouring states but it could become a tourism killer germ if we over exaggerate the present effect from the virus. That's something many westerners and whatnot (farrangs) would love for to happen, I know I relish somewhat that Thais are now scared <deleted>less because of this and what it might bring down upon them, in terms of revenue loss, not from the virus itself but more the arrogance they've collected over the years about their self deluded supremacy. But there's another dimension to this situation for tourism dependant countries like Thailand, the people getting worst hit, if it brings down the tourism industry to its knees, aren't the ones who deserve it, it will affect the people we (farrangs) love the most, Thailand's women and for some others, the ladyboys, gays and their families not counting the rest of the male population. It won't only affect the "love" industry, it will affect each and everyone directly or indirectly, like I said the fear and over exaggeration of the virus is by far the worst player in this game. Please do remember that in China, "only" 3% of the virus infected people have died. True it's a staggering 3% but apparently 97% survives. If that 3% would be 20% and over, at least I would be slightly concerned but the world (Africa mostly) have been hit by viruses like Ebola before and we're still here. So please all, take precautions, like you would with Dengue but don't over exaggerate this just yet. In my mind, the human race will be extinct at one point or another from a virus not yet known to man but it's just evolution and we might not have a place in that future, only time will tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not allowed to wander around Bangkok! I heard that they let the staff out every day. I went to an "open day" (really) at Bang Kwang prison over fifteen years ago. There was a bus trip organised from Pattaya. On the way, we were told that security measures were very strict. No mobile phones could be taken in, everyone would be searched before entering and when leaving. The reality? No checking whatsoever, a load of people had their mobiles in their pocket. A couple of people even used them inside. There was a series of Thai boxing matches organised in the prison which were televised live. The only security measure in place was to stamp the back of the hand of every person visiting. We were allowed to wander around unsupervised and talk to prisoners and go into their cells. When we came to leave, the only check was a cursory glance at the stamp on our hand. One of the visitors was from Mauritius and very dark-skinned. He was the only person who had his hand closely examined by the guards. An interesting day. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know earlier, but my friend's wife visited him in jail today and the warden told her the prisoners had all been given what I assume is flu vaccine as a precaution. This is in a provincial medium to long term prison on the outskirts of Bangkok. No white falang prisoners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedemon Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 5 hours ago, Just Weird said: No, it's not, Bang Kwang is referred to as the Bangkok Hilton by some. Yes that's true but other prisons (e.g. Klong Prem) are also sometimes referred to by the same name. The name originally comes from a 1980's miniseries by the same name about a foreign woman imprisoned in Thailand and Bang Kwang is a men's prison. That's why I say it is fictional.
