To my knowledge, neither have any of my colleagues. Your rude, thoughtless and hurtful opinions are not appreciated, and I suggest that if you have nothing good to say, say NOTHING. guess what.... I've SEEN TEACHERS DO IT IN THE CLASSROOM.. so please open up your mind to the possibility and quit telling me what I know and don't know understand that others might be right and don't be negative....good teachers are positive 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikesalaugh Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I don't blame them wanting to stay there. I'm in the U.K and things here are not too chipper at the moment either. If I had the option I would be on a plane straight to Thailand. Weather the Thailand statistcs are accurate or not (I'll let you decide) I believe its a lot safer there. I would be happy with a 2 week quarantine (as long as I could stay 3 months +). If they can "apparently" bring the numbers of infection down more then maybe (just maybe) there will be an insurgance of foreigners to add a boost to the economy.

I can't find any flights departing bangkok. Wrong and wrong. They can leave any time they like. All they have to do is book tickets on one of the many airlines still flying out of Thailand. The American and Canadian Embassy's have a list of airlines/flights that people can use to get back to North America. Lufthansa, KLM, Qatar, ANA, Korean Airlines and EVA are all still flying out of Bangkok and each has connections to either Europe and/or North America. I noticed the Nation story was a whopping 5 sentences long, including the headline. Same as the what is in the OP. Not credited to any reporter. No background on how those 2 allegedly arrived in Thailand 2 weeks earlier when the ban on arrivals started over 3 weeks ago. No details on why they travelled to Thailand in the first place when flights were being cancelled around the world and countries were closing their borders. Sounds a little hokey. Like the Brit guy in Phuket who claims he would rather stay in Thailand than return to the UK. After he tried at least 3 times to fly home but supposedly couldn't because he claims all the flights he booked were cancelled (despite all the flights that were, and are, still available to leave the country on). His claim that he'd rather stay in Thailand also coincidentally came right after the gov't amnesty on Tourist Visas. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His city has also only had 5 Covid-19 infections and they have all been released from the hospital.
