Popular Post rooster59 Posted May 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2020 Covid-19: Thais returning to provinces for long weekend ignore government's restrictions Image: Manager Manager reported that Thais were ignoring government pleas to stay home. At the start of the long weekend yesterday they reported tailbacks to holiday places and beaches and crowds gathering at beaches ignoring social distancing rules. Heading into Trat in the east of the country there was a 1.5 kilometer tailback and 45 minutes wait for a temperature check. Krating Lai beach near Pattaya was packed with people collecting shellfish. The beach is supposed to be closed. The Bang Saen was also crowded as was the Ang Sila Road. Manager said that the people were not afraid of Covid-19 - they were afraid of not going out.

Popular Post Captain_Bob Posted May 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2020 Selfish arrogant ignorant dismissal of emergency decree, forbidding inter-provincial travel for all but necessary purposes. This kind of flaunting the rules, which were made to protect the nation, is exactly the kind of recklessness that could cause a resurgence of coronavirus. Millions are staying home and exercising social distancing, to do the right thing, but meanwhile some <deleted> think they can just do whatever they want. Bastards! 14 4 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, and they have the money to pay the fines. Yet, i see locals ignoring the rules everyday, but we don't hear news of piling corpses at hospitals and crematoriums, so it could be fair to say that covid19 doesn't appear to be so dangerous in Thailand. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Enzian Posted May 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2020 I've been predicting that because there is no real enforcement, people will start ignoring the shutdown if the numbers stay low. And here we go. Also, I'm of the school of thought that everyone is going to contract the virus eventually anyway; people aren't going to stay shut in for 18 months waiting for a vaccine while the economy totally tanks. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeamchabangLarry Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) now they need to block the roads coming out of those provinces for 2 weeks to keep them from bringing it back into Bangkok. These unselfish courteous smart people will just have to stay there and throw trash on the beach and sidewalks there Edited May 2, 2020 by LeamchabangLarry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunKenAP Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Government and the General will simply flip-flop and announce it is OK to travel, but only on the 3 holidays they approved in May. Had to laugh today reading Pattaya News. Had side by side articles one saying booze ban extended, and the other saying OK after Sunday May 3. With all the flip-flops, I am dizzy and need a drink. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
