Greg O Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 You're so right Frotting and the locals don't see it or grasp it they simply never complain, yes they group together in clumps to buy this or that but they never question authority nor have the education or critical thinking skills to understand it. Almost everything they hear is taken literally such as the Mass Exodus of Bangkok a few weeks ago. The government said go home , stay at home.....and they did ! What's clear to us is a distant concept to the average Thai. They're not unintelligent but very ignorant which is by design. The government is so aloof they can't communicate to the people ( they're Thai elitists not Thai people) ....I am fortunate to have many Thai friends and we have these discussions but all in all they just don't see it. They see the government as this all powerful heavy handed beast and they're afraid....just some of my observations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeyore Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 4 hours ago, herwin1234 said: Sad to see how the farang community in general is so unhelpful and negative in this crisis, and MOSTLY as always ridicule the Thai ppl. Safe to say when this crisis will be over in Thailand thanks to the Thai efforts and unity, it will still cause chaos and misery in western countries bc of mismanagement and selfish citizens. Right. I don't even know why I bother, as the griping and moaning and cynicism here is rampant and continuous. I'm in ongoing conversation with friends outside Thailand, and we are very lucky indeed that we're not subject to the harsh overkill and intimidation of many Western countries, which have nonetheless not stemmed their regional pandemics. This is not comfortable for anyone, anywhere. So do what you can to stay safe, distracted from doomsayers, and maybe do something productive. It'll subside soon enough. Patience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the UK: with a similar population and whose government had such a laissez faire attitude and who were slow interrupting any economic activity; Result: 26000 dead. Thailand 54 dead, and remember Thailand had hundreds of thousands of Chinese from Wuhan here in November, December and January (5 flights a day) and consequently was at very, very high risk of a major disaster. The booze ban, the curfew, the lockdown, the ban on gouging for masks, the closure of airports and businesses all played a role in the great result. Stop your whining and thank god you don't live in the UK, France, Italy, Spain or the US. Brand new ! Thailand's famous for what again...? Lies and prostitution, if those figures are real i'm a Dutchman ....... As for the British they've had more dead in a bar fight...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing has to be justified by this entity. All Thais know is what they are told, no questioning. Well we know its not a liberal democracy......actually dont need the word liberal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is it wont be over, in the sense that it is nothing substantial in Thailand, but the fear of this virus will be used by those in power to suppress freedoms for a long time to come.
