Aspaltso Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 That's why so many foreigners love living in Issan. For the reasons you've mentioned. Getting away from everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreasyFingers Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 The OP is right about life as usual. One of the popular resorts at Khao Kho had 3 double-decker buses with tourists to have a party last night. And these buses usually come from the city.

Trust all will go well for your area as this virus is a real indiscriminate killer and is easily transmitted in crowded venues... Personally, I would avoid crowds for the time being... To be correct this virus is mainly dangerous for elderly people with preconditions, not an indiscriminate killer. As usual, Thaivisa posters hyping up panic. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natway09 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 You sound like you are all pretty isolated anyway.. Unfortunately modern travel will bring it to you soon,,,, maybe one of the 5,000 girls made jobless who are or have headed home who will ensure all of Thailans is affected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoupy Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 To really understand the Coronavirus, I suggest reading the book 'On the Beach' and substitute the word radiation for Coronavirus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavlar Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I got back to UK last week, tested for Covid as carrying symptoms but tested negative. My partner in Issan and her family well clued up ...virtually in lockdown, not attending local temple events, funerals, weddings, gate locked except for necessary deliveries such as drinking water (and their hosed down) , monks told not to call for alms anymore and partners mother gave monks "Grab" telephone number if their hungry. Not everyone gets what's going on and acting appropriately...just look at supposedly bright westerners still partying in London Florida etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavlar Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Two other quick stories from local town near our village that shows they are on the ball....a falang was in the bank this morning trying to open a bank account along with his pregnant Thai wife, happened to mention he had flown in this morning from Europe...the bank manager took him to one side told him he really should be in isolation for 2 weeks come back then and she'd be happy to help...and a "local" got back from Korea and the village seniors suggested they isolate (the whole family) in a disused farmhouse outside the village and they would bring them chickens/ ducks veg every day...no argument, no drama, all very friendly and the family did it willingly. Locals are better at sorting these things than the government... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
