Picture: Naew na

 

An immigration spokesman from Region 1 that is responsible for Bangkok has given details about immigration's response to the coronavirus/Covid-19 outbreak. 

 

Pol Col Phakkapong Sai-udom said that immigration officers and health department officials were using clauses 37 and 38 of the immigration act to track down foreign tourists and foreign businessmen from countries now deemed to be specifically risky. 

 

The tourists and businessmen are being visited at the addresses they have provided. 

 

They are all being requested to go into quarantine for 14 days.

 

Anyone found to be sick is being taken to hospital - that includes people from countries not as yet deemed to be risky. 

 

If people have moved out of Bangkok immigration offices in the provinces are contacting them with health department staff. He said coverage existed throughout all 76 provinces outside Bangkok.

The spokesman said that there are 11,344 Chinese in Thailand who cannot yet go home. They have been here since the ban on travel was started.

 

Their difficulties are less problematic than before. 

 

Naew Na said that ultimate responsibility for the procedures of immigration are under the leadership of chief Lt-Gen Sompong Chingduang. 

 

They said that the public could call immigration on 1178 to report irregularities or contact the website for advice.

Immigration cannot keep tabs on their own returning from South Korea, how is keeping tabs on foreigners going to work.  Maybe BMW smart cars?

So TM28 and TM30 then?

 

Watching various Thai "authorities" flail about, seemingly randomly, tripping over each other with little central direction/leadership, trying to address what we've been told is a minor issue, is amusing.

Tourists and businessmen - fine, but where do long term residents (retirees, married people etc) stand?

Due to a change in policy by immigration long term residents (retirees, married people etc) no longer stand, they are required to graap at all times.

More silly pathetic knee jerk reactions, whatever will they come up with next?

"We just got intel NCC1701A in Hua Hin is not feeling well."

"Yes my sister said he is a super spreader."

 

[Matzzon]

Big-C from Hua Hin should be quarantined immediately. 

 

    What supposed to be a joke could soon become reality.

Why are there so many boxes of tissues on the table?  Are they expecting things to get emotional??

Not that I am into rumors, but had heard that there was a LadyBoy there that was the original super "spreader" care to comment ?

 

[spiekerjozef]

well there is a ladyboy in Hua Hin that really likes me. He comes running up to me at Panama Bar every time I walk in there. very awkward. 

Thankfully he then runs up to the next farang and the next and the next. I have to say he does have really beautiful hair.

We are "tourists" too.

[RichardColeman]

Imagine the wall space a vinyl board for every at risk tourist will use up !

[BobbyL]

The tourists and businessmen are being visited at the addresses they have provided. 

 

So with 1000s of tourists still arriving each day, many from high - risk places, we're being led to believe that these chumps are going to visit their hotels etc to find them. Okay then ????

Meanwhile even Zimbabwe is chasing a traveller from Thailand.

 

Police in Zimbabwe are on the hunt for a suspected Coronavirus patient who escaped from Wilkins Hospital upon admission. The patient, a 26-year-old male arrived from Thailand recently

It seems as if more instances of coronavirus cases are found among people traveling from Thailand than within Thailand itself. Very strange???

I thought the 80-odd(?) Thais that were waiting to be processed/whatever, all broke out from a 'secure location' at the airport?

You're talking about hair on his head, I hope.

 

[ChipButty]

I thought all foreigners were risky in Thailand?

[newnative]

  <deleted>!  Track down all your returning Thais from South Korea that have disappeared.  

[zhounan]

Where I can read the clauses 37 and 38 of the immigration act?

I'm a Italian, so need to save my liberty from IO, because of an anti-national interest government and a shameful and criminal communication of the Country in the shape of a boot.

I'm on a retirement visa and flying into Swampy from Hanoi tomorrow the 11th, and have no idea what to expect. I think I'm healthy, but at 80 yrs old who knows what the temperature scanners might indicate.
