especially now.......i'm not an at-risk person, at all.  sure, it could kill me, but odds are low (IMO).  It's time to get back to work, since i don't consider covid my problem.  listen, if i had a problem, the world won't stop for me.  so take precautions and let's get back at it...

I am healthy with no organ-deficiencies and my immune system is working properly (not challenged by chemically treated food and a polluted environment), so there is indeed little risk for me from covid.

So I see no reason to be paranoid about it and adhere to 'strict' social distancing with friends/family that are in same condition.

But as a matter of civility, when visiting a public place like the local market or super-market I do wear a face-mask and follow the rules.  Not for myself, but for others that might be vulnerable to it (imagined or real).

haven't you realised yet - the emergency laws only apply to smelly dirty farangs that don't shower

They apply to everyone...only the "application" is far more profitable in certain directions.

this lockdown is a joke. ALL my neighbours are noisey and blind drunk all night. Counting 60+ cars passing our house within a 3hour period and we are the second last house on the street. No one in the entire community wears masks, cares about the curfew, etc. However foreigners are still being targeted. This is a fn joke!! My family is doing the right thing and havent left home for over a month and now the outside world has actualy become more uncivilized and dangerous but not so obvious to most. There is more illegal logging, burning of land, farming government land, local government people stealing all the government handouts and food, etc...

Is the governemnt that broke that they need to extort foreigners only and pertray them constantly in a netative light. If the countries so bad why is the transfer rate so dam bad.

Fatty sell your watches...

sorry went a bit off topic...

This country is so much following China. Good luck with that! Even thais are starting to hate them. Like looking in a mirror????

Where do you live?

Unamazeloso has been given this advice a few times already as he seems unhappy where he is living ...

If he still did not move , may be it is because he likes to suffer and to complain ...?

Sounds like he is living in some sort of wildcat loggers town in the Amazon jungle.

Have you tried reporting them to the police?
You say your family is doing the right thing and haven’t left the home for more that a month, are you sure? I find that hard to believe.

Here's what they should do to people like this. Simply lock them all up in 1 small room with a toilet annexe and tell them not to leave for 14 days on punishment of imprisonment. I can pretty much guarantee if 18 people are locked in one room isolating for 14 days, they wont want to do it again

Lockdown, what lockdown? I try telling the wife about the risks she poses when she goes visiting or has a 'friend' over to stay. I'm waiting for the phone call from the police station to ask for bail money. So it's not just foreigners who flout the regulations.

Well there you go then...  deport em...  problem solved... They'll never spread the virus again (in this country...)

I read the TVF version and the Thai PBS version and there only seems to be one Russian man but no other nationalities were mentioned, so where did the other 17 come from?

While in the current circumstances one cannot condone the actions. I would suggest there are many here who in related times have managed to locate an outlet on 'alcohol free' days such as election time, part and parcel of everyday life in Thailand, the delicate balance of pleasure vs risk.

 

I fail to understand, when there are clearly all manner of people being pulled up for flouting the current regulations, some posters turn these actions into 'anti farang' persecution.

Thai people are certainly getting pulled up, not all by any means, same as not all farangs will be caught too.

Must be a long street if your house is second last in it and 60+ cars fit between your house and the last house .

Or Suan Phlu IDC. Visited someone there nearly 20yrs ago. My best guess was there were about 40-50 ppl in that cage. No toilet annex except a stout wall for "privacy." It resembled more of a kennel for stray dogs.

But different. 

Little bit.

Girl is more beautiful than farang, generally speaking. Beautiful skin.

Man is stronger, generally speaking. Fashion, not so good.

Actually most of Thai people don't devide Russians from farangs - especially Thais not working at main resorts like Pattaya, Phuket,,,where the bad manners of some part of Russian tourists angered the locals ))  This change of attitude happened in the beginning of 2000s - with high oil rates and the boom of Russian outgoing tourism...

But anyway in the company where I worked in Bangkok/Pattaya recently - the Russian staff were called farangs between Thais.

Especially that computer notebook, 

Don't overdose on Wikipedia articles will you! 

Perhaps that computer was providing the illegal entertainment to the sound system?
