Oziex1 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I'm sure its been said but perhaps the best way to move to stage 3 is to do nothing now, what is it you are waiting for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the local British Embassy.... dont hold your breath waiting for help. Agreed. To my knowledge the current UK stance is that it is the responsibility of airlines to get people back, not Government, if the airline cancelled existing flights, and really this has long been the general UK Government leaning regards UK nationals overseas. UK Government is similar to the U.S angle on things, than say France, Italy and similar who negotiate hostage release quietly behind the scenes etc. Brits are left to it, unless high enough profile people to warrant a rescue attempt and this branches out into overseas policy overall. My flight from here was cancelled but has been rescheduled. Anyone who has arrived here recently and doesn't have a return flight already to warrant any duty of care for them, they really really need to get something booked fast because all resources are understandably focused on the UK at the moment, not on having to arrange extremely expensive repatriation of people jollying about on beaches when the seriousness of the situation is well known. Only Germany is arranging flying citizens home, i believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skorp13 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 When a country shuts its airports and suspends all intl flights what they are really saying is all our previous measures were useless and we didn't know what we were doing do now we take drastic measures 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketyo Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Old wasted morons like Prayut, who were educated before critical thinking was taught at schools, and who usurped power through violence, must be crapping in their pants about corona virus.

It was all part of the sham in Thailand that they had to maintain the public face that it was not serious and they had it sussed with some in power even suggesting it would be under control in the next month or so .. But reality the was always going to be different once it started to proliferate hence the increasing panic within Gov the last week or so .. From here on in the best policy for any Government but especially this one should be one of honesty and transparency .. Continuing with this saving face posture is only going to come back and haunt them if it gets really out of hand .. I believe that thailand still has some freedom of speech and open press. If the condition was so much worse as stated would not the hospitals be packed behind capacity with media reporting so????.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupermarineS6B Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) It's ironic really that Thailand put so much faith in Chinese tourism and that very nationality has destroyed it...... Sadly it looks as though tourism's on the back burner and survival is now at the forefront........ I can't help thinking that Thailand courted this calamity by its callous treatment of other nationalities giving priority to the Chinese......." Be careful what you wish for comes to mind ".............. Edited March 19, 2020 by SupermarineS6B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EU is closing borders, USA closed border with Canada and won't allow Europeans. Qatar doesn't let foreign nationals into the country.. and so on. I am surprised that they are taking the step only now after Thailand allowed Chinese tourists to arrive in January and February. At this time, the virus is probably established in the country and will be spread by the local population. And china is on their way to open again And i read the other day ISIS the islamic muscle, have advised their members not to go to Europe as it's far too dangerous at present on account of this virus LOL! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megasin1 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 it's certainly going to get interesting for many. UK have now stopped rescue missions generally and you are required to use commercial flights that dont exist. So by leaving any country soon you will risk being denied entry at arrival (unless it's your home country) and refused re-entry to the country you came from hence as I said in another post - internment. If you have left it to now you have left it too late. You need to rely on amnesties or just remaining illegal (eventual internment). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
