"So this person should defend a position, not react to cranky posters. In this case: "It is fine that Thais flee quarantine because..." " To me it sounds like you are suggesting she defends people not self quarantine, Perhaps I am wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Search underway for 80 escaping Thai workers returning from South Korea The arrival area of Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok. (Photo by Romeo GACAD / AFP) Authorities are searching for about 80 Thais who arrived, in a group of 200 on four flights, at Suvarnabhumi international airport yesterday after returning from working illegally in South Korea. They managed to escape from a restricted area as they were about to be escorted to Sattahip naval base for COVID-19 screening prior to being quarantined. Deputy Public Health Minister Sathit Pitutaecha did not give details of how the returnees managed to escape, but he said today that he had instructed the Disease Control Department director-general Dr. Suwanchai Wattanayingcharoenchai to find the names and addresses of the escapees from the list of all the returnees yesterday and to try to locate them, so they can enter their mandatory 14-day quarantine period. He said that all the escapees will face tough legal action in accordance with the Disease Control Act. Airports of Thailand director Sutherrawat Suwanrat said today that there were 104 passengers, including 88 Thais, on the first flight from South Korea yesterday. 15 were found to have high fevers and were immediately sent for further tests to determine whether they are infected with COVID-19. 66 others were described as at high risk.

Emdog Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Hmm people sent back from Korea for breaking the law, being illegal workers are now expected to follow the law here, be model citizens and take a 2 week time out. I don't think so. If anything, gov should have sent a few monks over and call it a 'retreat' and that participants would "make merit'. There is no incentive to stay in quarantine. Just sit around and OMG think too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm people sent back from Korea for breaking the law, being illegal workers are now expected to follow the law here i as saying exactly that to a friend yesterday. but in fact it is the authorities to blame, they have abdicated all responsibility for the safe and controlled return of these citizens, relying instead on the childish notion that they will do what they're told. any idiot could have predicted that wasn't going to happen. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Card Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 17 hours ago, Justgrazing said: A lot of Thai's don't do responsibility hence the war-zone road death toll so it would come as no surprise that some returning to Thailand have done a runner .. These actions will help propagates CV19 .. Non compliance in the process needed to try and keep this in check is the signature of the selfish and irresponsible .. It's not only Thais who are irresponsible drivers. I've seen loads of farangs copying their bad habits. Same with bribes and not learning a mutually communicable language. Hypocrisy comes to mind whenever I read people criticising Thais for what are, in fact, their own faults. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just walked away, did they. Do you mean no one saw them so how stupid are the Thai guards or they sneaked away unseen ... please regale us with your insights.

Popular Post Zack61 Posted March 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2020 17 hours ago, TallGuyJohninBKK said: AFAIK, the police who caught up with the Korea returning woman in CM who ignored the self quarantine and then went out on the town, posting photos to her social media, wasn't fined at all when they finally caught up with her. Instead, the report said, she apologized for her "ignorance" and promised to do better. They really know how to bring down the hammer on law breakers here... I believe if she had been a foreigner they would have done more to make an example of her. Time will tell if I’m right. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardColeman Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 In all honesty I can understand them fleeing and may consider doing it myself in their position, for I have little faith that shifting them to a Thai 'Army house' or 'hotel' will be any better than the debacle of the cruise ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

America letting the cruise ship passengers infected back, Air force base worker where plane landed gets infected. People returning from Italy let back in, now America has highest death percentage from infected. So first world countries are failing in controlling the spread of virus. And somehow you expect better containment from a third world country? Good luck with that attitude. Peace 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
