For all who doesn't know much about Thailand standing in the region China is the big boss around here and what it says and want goes, so Thailand with its super pride disdain and dislike in everything that goes with other foreigners, is a putty and a puppet in the hands of the communist giant...

One word can sum this up pretty easily and it is called:

 

FACE

 

Thailand has continued to claim since the early days they have beat this Covid-19, and have been the most successful at dealing with it with their closures and shutdowns.  I wait to see what befalls the great Thai government when things go array.  How can you show FACE when you were wrong and you caused the destruction of your own country?  Simple you act like your country has been a call center and you flee with the ill gotten gains when the jigs up leaving everyone else holding the bag....

yes, Thailand take rice bowl to big brother

Economic recovery seems to be focused on massage business and Pat Pong street. Understandable.

I had one of those horrible Chinese tourists who was clearly drunk nearly wee on my trainers last year. I was exiting Suttisan MRT station and walking along the footpath, I saw this guy leaning over a railing and as I got closer he was p***ing onto the pavement and I had to dodge out of the way, it was around 8pm.

 

On the same stretch of footpath back in January there was a coach load of them blocking the footpath completely, I had push my way through, ignorant scumbags!

 

There is a small Chinese restaurant next to the local Thai bar I frequent, the Chinese who dine there are loud, mainly very drunk, spit on the floor all the time and the guys have this habit of rolling up their shirts so everyone can see their bellies, gross, but some of the Chinese girls were fit though 55.

And I have seen Europeans, Americans, koreans behaved just as bad or worse when drunk. I'm not worried about Chinese now covid wise, it is a lot safer in China now than Europe or America. That's a fact many of you will find hard to swallow.

Don't be surprised if the fake Chinese numbers are used to justify no quarantine for Chinese people arriving here.

Obviously the PM just uses the online coronavirus app and noted that China has the 11th most REPORTED confirmed infections in the world. New York State alone has 8 times as many REPORTED infections as China and about 6 times more REPORTED deceased. Great! Let them in!

 

On a serious note, China, with its 1.3 billion plus population probably has more infected that the rest of the world combined. Why would they waste good money on testing... just let it rip. They put on a good show at the beginning with Wuhan, but that was just smoke and mirrors. I think they're using the herd immunity strategy. I don't think Xi and his cohorts would mind too much if a few million died. Life is very cheap in China. They have more than enough people and it will cleanse the population of old people that they can't afford to support.

Well, I did read somewhere that tourism will be back on track in the near future, now I know why....????..............

Chiland ????

[RedPill]

Brilliant ... close the beaches because 'second wave' ... but want to remove China from the list.

 

If there ever was some different agenda behind this pandemic craziness worldwide ... hope we are going to find out soon.

This is absolutely brilliant. They destroyed the economy by shutting it down, now they want to allow Chinese visitors back in. Of course they believe Chinese statistics on the infection rate there. Nevermind that no one else in the world believes the nonsense the Chinese come out with, but the PM of Thailand does.

 

Yes, let them all in and start all over again. Let's get the 2nd, 3rd and 4th waves underway asap. Then we can stay on strict lockdown for another year or so. 

Totally agree with you! It's all greed before the People!!! If it's the case that China and South Korea are no longer hot spots because they are into single figures then Thailand should be lifting all restrictions on the people as Thailand itself is in single figures!!

They shouldn't be overly keen on opening up to Chinese and Koreans anytime soon.

This actually beggars belief and proves thst the thai government don't give a <deleted> about their own people. Lets flood the country with Chinese who are the country responsible for the current state of the WORLD. And I thought Donald Trump was stupid and ignorant

Thailand.... the new Hong Kong or Taiwan probably!!!

Definitely NOT Taiwan. Taiwan is the complete opposite of Commie China. Taiwan handled the Wuhan Virus better than any other country, with serious efforts at the beginning and they should be a role model for the future. For a country with such close ties to China, Taiwan should have been hit hard but they didn't rely on the lies from China, made their own decisions and used modern accurate technology to stem the spread of the virus. While China continues it deception to this day, first lies about the virus, then numbers and spread of infected, and now the manufacture of defective PPE. They are an <deleted> Evil Society and the government there should never be trusted again. 

Taiwan on the other hand should be the recognized government of China. And Taiwanese people are some of the nicest people one could meet - polite, civilized, educated, free thinking and love baseball (huge plus!!!).

[Lacessit]

It's called getting the tourist industry back on its feet, and if that knocks some of their own citizens off, less social security to pay. Win-win in their eyes.

Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has proposed that China and South Korea be removed from Thailand’s list of countries at high risk for Covid-19 infection after their daily case count dropped into single digits.

oh dear, and as soon as the first flights look like they'll arrive all the beaches will suddenly open proving my point about the nonsense beach bans

 

I can only think of one reason for this nonsense ban on beaches, they can't stand the idea of western foreigners getting any sort of enjoyment out of this misery

Covt19 V2 new more lethal. WHO determines patya to be the origin.

experts say it came in with Chinese tourism. Sources say.

 

this is not fact. It is one person’s opinion.

Absolutely gagging to get the Chinese back to clog up the streets with their buses and pollute the sea with endless diesel chugging boats

Snot rockets and public defecating will shortly resume

Wonderful

This doesn't mean much as no foreigner is allowed into the country for tourism purposes, where their country is on the list or not. And certainly not until they life the 14-day self isolation. Thailand needs to get it's one country functioning 'normally' before letting any tourists in.

Must be getting a kickback from the Chinese

[madmitch]

I think readers are reading n=more into this than they should.

 

There are very few countries on the list yet we're not expecting an influx of tourists from Russia or Sweden just now. If anything the list is useless right now as things change very quickly.

You can't fix stupid!!! Chinese really??? Wouldn't have anything to do with they are big spenders, WOULD IT?

The rest of the WORLD wants to hold China financially responsible, but Thai Gov just wants their tourist dollars back again. Airport testing is what you guys need to focus on, many different testing avenues now available, spend some of that 5,000 baht money you didn't give to the poor people and buy testing machines. 

Lift the ridiculous curfew and open malls and business's let the Thais make money again. It's OVER, time for you to get over it.

So they block off the beaches to keep people from Bangkok away when there hasn't been a new case there in days, but it'll be fine for Chinese and Koreans to come and visit as their case number are down in single figures. Do they dislike their own people so much?

[Darkside Gray]

Why am I not surprised to see China right up there, which other countries are on this list? 

[seajae]

again we see that money is more important than the thai people, this idiot wants tourism back in and to suck up to china once again. He refused to stop chinese coming to Thailand at the start when they were responsible for the virus and were the ones spreading it so Thailand would remain in the good books with them and now he is doing it again , the brown rings on his ankles are getting a lot darker
