'Check on a friend' and 'check on an elderly neighbour'.

Shouldn't these two points come with some information whether that is done by phone, email, or by visiting and if so what distance for you to stay from them?

We can make fun of it, but finally we have a useful attempt to educate people about how to avoid the virus. The only criticism I have is that those funny lights at the top of the first image may confuse people as few here would know their meaning.

only 172 people have been tested positive 

 

please enjoy your holiday 

 

but stay in your hotel just in case, we want you to stay away from the other 8000 people we have not tested and could result in you getting infected then infecting them infecting you and infecting them back - we don't want stinking dirty western foreigners that don't shower infecting us, lets put that into perspective - China (even if you haven't been) were they eat a special fried rice dish with live Bat wing and pangolin mixed with rat tails and a whole pile of other sick (deleted) that started this whole cluster off - but hey Thailand love China

 

Stephen King would vomit at the horror of making this into a movie

 

here is something a little lighter if you can't stomach the absolute disgusting eating habits of China -  Order a boiled egg and it comes with feathers - I kid you not, time for the west to blank China - we enabled them with our technology, gave them our designs for cheap manufacture - boy has that backfired 

 

Ranting finished  

You cant beat the sea air always makes me feel better, where we live has got to be one of the best places to live we are surrounded by the ocean 7am the sun is coming up and there is a nice sea breeze blowing, no pollution

Paradise  

All this and Thai's will continue to do as they always do....ignore all advice and instructions and do whatever they want !

I wonder if they made that sign in Thai too, or maybe it´s only made for us dirty farangs. I think I have to send the question over to Anutin.

My exact thoughts as well - in English for the dirty "westerners". Is there  a THAI version for "dirty" Thais (those who do not wear face masks).

Yesterday at Don Mueang Airport everybody was wearing the useless masks. In Swampy only 20% even Thais. So 80% dirty?

I would have thought going to a gym would help healthwise?  Like sitting in Immigration?
