No real point in Thailand

Would just like to congratulate Mark Songkran who is doing his social distancing by staying home ????????

Criticize when it should, but also approve when needed. And as the picture shows he applies the health recommendations that everyone should follow, to himself,. This is a sharp contrast comparing to a particular self declared "stable genius", leader also of self declared Free World.... 

Give credit where due - leading by example is very admirable.  As for 'stable genius' - being that I'm from such country; I will follow by example - so where's my porn star and/or playmate to boink?  And now the greetings with females will be a grab to their crotch.

The government had last month announced that Songkran holidays will be postponed to later dates in line with efforts to curb the spread of Covid-19.

Add it to X-mas at the rate its going

It being only advice from the little uncle my guess is

same as before.

Why????

This time of year BKK residents swarm into Chiang Mai to their second home or other family accommodation. Nothing is going to change traditional Songkran Thai behaviour - the PM must know that. Another few days chaos on the roads, no doubt, and further spreading of the virus. 

 

Highway 1 and 11 should be locked down at Lampang, and vehicles sent back to BKK. As if ever...

Maybe because he stated publicly that the Covid 19 problem was 100% under control several weeks ago, when it obviously wasn't!

.......But the highest form of intelligence. Why do you think he was being sarcastic. I think he meant it

I never, ever thought I'd miss Songkran

People can follow tradition ...and express their gratitude to their parents provided they maintain a 2-metre distance. '"Tradition" dictates that this is done by sprinkling scented water on the parent's hands and feet. The good PM must think his people have long arms!

My thoughts exactly!!! Some people have a habit of opening their mouths before engaging their brain! That is is they have a brain at all! ????

"However, the premier said, in keeping with tradition, people can sprinkle water on Buddha images at home and express their gratitude to their parents provided they maintain a 2-metre distance and wear face masks at all times".

 

They'll have to be good shots and have long arms! Does this guy even engage his brain before his mouth?

How can you sprinkle at two meters?

Hopefully it will help to reduce the party in the street (Village) to 3 days instead of the usual 10 days....

I thought Mark Songkran must be a pretty important guy if the PM is telling everybody that he is at home! (Sorry - I've not woken up yet!)

I understand them cancelling Songkran, but cancelling the public holidays so people still have to work is taking the p***
 

A few days off work might have helped slow the spread (not including South Thailand)

Why..........."not including South Thailand"
