Galomir Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Hi, I'm pretty new at posting here, don't flame me if this was already discussed. My goal is not to fear monger but to raise the question. My Thai girlfriend just texted me from work. Her friend is working at a "news Thai office" (asked for clarification) and called her saying the government will make use of an emergency act for 5months to compell people to stay home. Does anyone have heard something similar or a clue what this emergency act is/would be or should I just relax and have a beer ?

tifino Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 well... this would give one a virtual feeling of being in New York, London, and many Euro countries search wide online, and read/see the feedback of the many incumbents interviewed by streaming... Individuals will still be able to go to shop for food Go for lonely jogs in the Park Sing National Anthems from the Balcony... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too much as long as I'm not stopped outside while catching some fresh 2.5 particles. My knowledge of this country is still developing and as you said, hearsay here.... Reason why I was curious if some had corroborating info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RichardColeman Posted March 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2020 It's all very well declaring things like this, and my UK and others countries are rolling out support for people, for rent , for free food delivery, for access to food etc. BUT, what is Thailand suggesting for its people - will it roll out free food and money who will have no income for 5 months ? Some people live hand to mouth . day by day. I think it will never work in Thailand, people will die from starvation with no income to support themselves. Government doshing out a thousand baht for a family a month will be a joke ! Recycling people will starve, lottery sellers will starve - Thailand economy will be destroyed - maybe that's good for the junta thoug 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timendres Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 The government engaged the emergency contagious disease act some time ago, and it was posted in the Royal Gazette. So that is sitting there waiting for their use any time that they feel it is required. For sure, the government will need to take decisive action at certain points, but it will not be the apocalypse, just some serious inconvenience. Not understanding this is some serious denial.
