It's a problem of an incompetent, chaotic government.

As if tomorrow comes as a total surprise.

Now needing time to sort out that "76 governors do what they want" mess.

They've muddied the waters so badly, they just don't know what to do. I'll be sending a box of crayons, and some paper to the proper authorities, perhaps then they can figure it out.

I would then expect multicoloured poop to follow

Madness...... what about the Village in Vichit ? 

[smedly]

the whole country remains in lockdown because of one house in Bang Tao and 3 people

This is crazy. 

TB had 10 million cases last year and 1.5 million people died of it. 

Covid isn't even close to being that infectious. 

Do we lock down the world for TB?

Hundreds of kids drowned, tens of thousands died on the road, thousands were victims of corruption and exploitation.

 
Less than a hundred succumbed to the CCP virus, we all have to suffer, Thai logic.

 It is called the "paradox of preparation". Why bother to keep brushing my teeth? I don't get cavities. Why do I have to suffer from wasted time brushing my teeth?  Your logic...

It’s called BS.

Your figures are correct. The difference in the two viruses noted by you is TB is for the vast majority of sufferers treatable and curable. C19 is not.

I do think the ban on beach and ocean access is ridiculous!

Keep reading thephuketnews and thethaiger. The tambon restrictions end tonight except for 5 pocket areas. The misleading headline refers to other restrictions coming from PM. Such as behavior beaches booze, etc.

Note LiK's reaction is from 6 hours ago, when the situation was fluid, and leaning towards 'tambons stay closed'.

The problem with local online news media is that they are not 'real time', and often the news they publish are hours out if date and may have been superceded.

 

It's noticeable that authorities are choosing to use social media to release information which puts it out there immediately.

Has anyone actually tested the boundaries this morning?

This on again, off again, closed, open debate is getting tedious. It would be nice to know the actual situation.

A neighbor has stated he is going to head into enemy territory several hundred meters south of the circle to shop at Makro later this morning. Hope he doesn't get shot.

From Chalong to Rawai, no more road block at Chalong Circle.

I was at immigration this morning from Rawai, no obstacles at all and nobody at immigration. Took me, including getting the stamp I needed, 50!! minutes from Rawai to immigration and back.

Guess what, Bang Tao is still in lockdown, forever I think ????

With all recent infections coming from there, no surprise. It was also mentioned as one of the 5 areas that would remain in lockdown.

Did you get your new permit on the spot without having to collect it at later time?
