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.

Geezer

Someone obviously did, that explains why she was on the tv news yesterday apologising for being so stupid.

 

If anyone in that area ever dies from this virus then she will get the blame, even if it's months from now. They now know where to aim their anger.

"...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. "

 

Not so sure about that, many countries nowadays issue travel alerts / warnings for various reasons when they considered there's danger in any form.

 

To do that they need information.

 

As just one example the Oz government health / travelers site staff would possible look at Thailand and all of the above and say ' confusing, therefore risky, avoid Thailand'.

Wonder who they will blame to save face.

All of the ministers are bending over backwards to cloud the issue with what can only be determined as fake news but we will all be ok because the general is in full CONtrol.

With one of them hoping for / aiming for / manufacturing as needed / making announcements which probably should be made by other specific officials, to ensure he's the star, and making a mess of it, and nobody checking him.

 

Not sure which one is worse; this guy or the guy in a ministerial position who served time in jail in Australia and now has the blessing of the PM.

the official policy regarding compulsory quarantine appeared to have changed once more, with officials saying no compulsory quarantine order was in place. 

Shambolic reversal only goes to prove someone does not know what they are doing.

The news comes as the number of coronavirus infections in Thailand has remained relatively low, at a time when the number of infections reported by other countries have surged.

Is there something they are not telling us? Nah, nothing to see here.

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. 

 

The economy is doing great ?  Don't think you have been reading many stat's for the last few months !   Apart from that i don't think you understand how the majority of Thai people feel about this Government and i can tell you they don't agree with your views.

Nah, she's the wrong colour and nationality....... now if she'd been a farang, different case......You Velly bad person........ 

You're so right.

 

A friend who just came back from the US was being harassed and taken out EVERY time at EVERY control point to get his temperature checked.

 

But that wasn't enough. He always had to use some offered sanitizer. 

 

All Asians on the same flight and others just walked through without getting checked. Does that make sense?

 

Even when he'd only 15 minutes to check in to his connecting flight, they didn't show any Mercy. 

 

  And it's common knowledge these days that Asians can get this virus much easier. Always the bad Farang, methinks.

Loss of face only occurs between Thais and only if acknowledged by another person. They couldn’t care less what farang think and ignore missteps by important Thais to give the appearance that nothing happened.

 

the upshot of covid19 once it’s finished, will be a thorough examination of how thai government and medical facilities stood up to the test, and the result will be that they passed with flying colours despite some farang being unco operative.

 

mark my words

They can say what they like , but if they have been covering up , it will be the outside world who will shame and condemn them.

"The first of the confusion arose after Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul (FlipFlop Minister) on Tuesday posted on one of his Facebook pages that that he" ..

 

But no matter what he wrote, in my opinion, the fact that he posts his mental deviations on Facebook is a certificate of poverty.  Eg. a certificate of mental illness. In his position.... at Facebook ? 5555

 

However and anyway ..
Sure... Not to expect that a website created in Thailand works even crashing in most cases, unless it is created by foreigners but should not be a reason to publish without an own information website from a gov page. I am wrong?

 

Not only this clearly shows which perspectives works here. Yes, he actually still believes that all the world and all foreigners are on his side with FB.  Well,- the hope usually die at least.

 

But in this super special gov it is different again. Because the so-called and self-proclaimed "leaders" have already buried them down.

New TAT Promotion?

"Thailand welcomes the Covid-19 infected with open arms.  Other countries ban you from coming to their countries or insist that you self-quarantine for 14 days?  Book a flight to the LOS (land of sickness) today and get a free face mask and a bottle of hand sanitizer for free!!!  Don't wait (14 days).  Book today!!!"
