Flip flop: Health Ministry now says no compulsory quarantine for visitors to Thailand

[beavenlen]

I was going to take bets on the next statement, but i cant it is illegal to gamble with anything except our lives . So sorry no bets.

[ecoscape]

Headless chickens?

[Gracas]

Any where else in the world and you would say "I bet these guys must feel like complete idiots", BUT not here in Thailand its just another day and the leaders are in complete control of all that matters.

[animatic]

Favorite fantasy line :

”...The latest announcement regarding quarantine (hopefully) puts an end to what has been a barrage of conflicting information from health officials in Thailand, which has caused widespread confusion amongst people both in the country, as well as people overseas who planned to visit...”

 

No more confusing ministerial announcements and pigs fly with golden wings

Are these people that are so called " The Government " of Thailand, totally incapable of anything that demands just a little Brain usage.

The eyes of the World are already upon Thailand because of the reported number of Covid19  people that are infected being abnormally low for the number of Tourists that are still visiting the Nation from China, and other highly infectious areas.

Any respect that Thailand once had has now evaporated, and any potential Tourists will have ZERO confidence in stepping foot on Thai soil because of the shambolic way in which the Government is reacting to the Covid19 threat.

I'm sure most posters on here would agree that Thailand is a reactionary society, best evidenced by shoppers in a well stocked supermarket being told Mai Me when asking for a usually stocked item. 

 

IMO, Covid 19 will be treated with the same mentality.

I'm surprised the penny hasn't dropped on the fact that there's heaps of empty hotels that could be filled up by all these lovely captive customers, and let's just say we charge them the same as airport immigration holding cells, let's say 750 bht a night and two rice meals a day........  Bingo !    Who needs Russians .......I'm surprised those sticky little fingers at the top missed this one....... Tourism down ?  No way Jose, all hotels packed and the bonus is we don't even have to see them......... 

I told them I'm allergic to sea food, so they keep brining me crab! It dont figure?

Minister Anutin is truly a ping pong champion or is simply totally confused, for dementia he seems a little too young ... but ...

[tandor]

...surely the 'smart beemers' have a virus sensor installed!

[shackleton]

Would have thought the immigration authorities in those Countries listed would be doing their checks to ensure nobody leaves if any chance of having the virus in the first place

Just pick the announcement you like and follow it and ignore the rest. Stop worrying about the latest announcement, it is only likely to be valid for a day or less.

[tomauasia]

With out any doubt the worst government in the history of Thailand. Destroy everything they touch..A insult to Thai people and foreign residents.

[7of9rocks]

no doubt, these changes have been frustrating (for me) but as a transit traveler through Korea, i'm actually thankful for the change.    i was going to cancel my reservations if i had to self quarantine myself in a hotel room but now, i'm leaning towards going as planned.

Not to me.

Live here more than a decade. Saw how the red shirts tore up Bangkok and did their filthy dividing work in rural places spreading rumors and gossip and manipulating simple people. If the army didnt step in by now Thailand would be wrecked by these dividing agitators, Thailand would be poor like Laos.

With this governement we see how year after year the economy is doing great, how provincial cities develop, how SAFE it is and stable society, strong currency, good decisions for busineses AND for the environment, just look at this years plastic bag ban that is supported by busineses and customers alike, and an animal welfare law, and having the guts to take care of Tiger Temple.

This is a GREAT governement. The only thing they should do better is to deny visa for foreigners who spread rumors and gossip and insults with regards to Thailand and Thai ppl, online.

One can only imagine what would be going on with these clowns if it were a real full on emergency.  At least we know who is not running the Ministry of Health ... lots of lost face there. Once again, money/tourism won out.

The key word there is asymptomatic. All others (non-asymptomatic) are OK in line with the earlier advice today. This seems OK. People should know what or what not to do.

 

No absolute rubbish..People won't care and risk others.. Block Italy China Hong Kong and any other dumps who never paid attention 

[puck2]

OMG, inspite of the dry season, first let rain brains on special high ranking officials

[Chongalulu]

A more effective idea would be for anyone with an IQ not reaching  double figures or found to be carrying the Thick Gene should self quarantine. That would disempower the government...

Your stance reminds me of a kids school report saying ' Little Jimmy sets himself very low standards and consistently fails to achieve them' .

So the woman who came back, and brags on face book about heading straight out on

the town.  Her neighours know who she is, so why doesn't one of them give the authorities her name and address so she can explain herself.
