I am sure every Thai is learning a lot from your guidelines.

 

The question is : What do YOU do to support them, to help people to implement them or to enforce them????

A bit late now after shutting down Bkk and letting so many crowd into Mochit bus station and board crowded buses to many provinces. 

Prt\obably been mentioned before, but the thousands that are travelling home to Esan/Myanmar and some of them taking the virus with them, are the thousands that have been laid off work due to the bars and restaurants closing. I wonder if the Thai employment system has heard of "paid on or off"? Hence the thousands heading home - NO JOBS = NO WAGES = NO FOOD!

so theres a curfew from march 26th onwards, anyone details about it? will food delivery still be available?

As usual, there are a load of cynical expats on here. I actually like and respect this post and feel that (even if things have happened or not happened in the past) he's making a decent effort.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

At least he's not making ridiculous claims or comments like some others in Parliament.

Oh, and if he said nothing, he'd be wrong.

No one needs Google or Reuters or WHO. Just come to TVF for experts and cinics.

What he said was fine but his 'decent effort' was just much too late.     The horse had already bolted, that's why the 'cynics' here are complaining!

From what I heard, there will be a curfew from 7pm to 7am when they want you to stay indoors. No gathering in groups. Certain roads might be closed. Mandatory masks in certain areas. The full details to be released tomorrow (March 25).

Well he looks another intelligent c#*t. The government is full of them.

as usual governments always too late.

But summer in Thailand is coming and virus will disappear, they said.

Luckily(?) im just out of Thailand and back home. Seems Thailand is coming up fast in covid now.

In Holland now you get individual a fine of 400 euro, if you are out together with 4 people, unless proven you are family in same house. Dutch government thinking , ktsjing, money in the box. They are together every day, would be ironic if corona will start there. 

OK i agree somehow, as the Dutch lack the rules. Winter is leaving and sun is shining, so nice to be outside , normally.

I agree. Sensible advice that, if followed, could make a big difference to infection numbers.

Thanks to the idiots running this country, we're on the same path as Italy, the monks are going to be very busy over the coming months.

To all expats

As most of us here on the web site are high risk candidates for the virus, I wish you all the best for this year, stay safe and take care. Cheers

Age. As I believe most of us have more concern and common sense to get through this disaster.

Yah, wash your hands.

So  fascinating  to  see  that overall opinion of  measures  should  be or  have  been same or similar  to  those  enforced in China . But in alternative  breath comes  criticism of not the  effectiveness but  the  capacity  to  do so. 555

in my mind, it is not going to be easy to abide by these regulations as these require strong discipline and a lot of moral support. i am not sure whether the physical size of the residences will allow social distancing.

Thailands response has been pretty good, compared to UK anyway.

 

But I saw people setting up paddling pools this morning outside their houses....please tell me people wont insist on celebrating Songkran. And strangely early anyway.

I don't think you have to fight to get a seat at a table in a restaurant. Don't overthink everything. Go to the restaurant,sit down and see what happens.
