Popular Post AhFarangJa Posted May 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2020 TAT seem to forget that tourism was plummeting Loooooonnnnng before any virus hit these shores. mrjames on post number 5 is optimistic that this may teach the immigration etc. to treat expats more fairly, and with less xenophobia, sorry that is just never going to happen. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTSIssues Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 39 minutes ago, Tounge Thaied said: I suspect the thai "authorities" have figured out that people are not dying in the massive numbers that was touted by the media and was attempted to be predicted by computer models. The "experts" got it all wrong. And, I suspect that Thai doctors were not "incentivized" financially or pressured/advised to diagnosis Covid19 based upon signs/symptoms alone. Countries like Italy and America are diagnosing Covid19 erroneously, based on symptoms alone. I'll let you come to your own conclusion why that is. I see that Thailand has handled this whole "pandemic" very well. They did not over react in the beginning, made reasonable lock down rules, based upon the fear models by the WHO and are now realizing this is not the emergency we were all led to believe it is or was going to be. IMO, other countries have high numbers because they are creating those numbers. We now know that Covid19 is not as deadly as even the Flu. And I see it as a good thing that everyone doesn't get tested. Those tests do no test for the specific SARSCoV2 virus. There are too many false positives and negatives on that test. The test is nearly completely unreliable. Just read the fine print in the image... way too many caveats for this test to provide any fundamental basis of diagnostic efficacy. Tell that to my best mate who lost his mum and sister to COVID within a week of them catching it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg O Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Where is this so-called second wave going to come from exactly ?Can't possibly be by sea as the beaches are closed. There are still a couple hundred hookers ( I mean hostesses ) being repatriated this week from UAE but they've already been quarantined and tested and fully certified grade A....then quarantined another 14 days on arrival. Darn, forgot what I was rambling about ...Oh yeah second wave will come from China when they allow flights from China to resume...then what ?

JohnBZ Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 It feels like a god damn prison now when you can not get in and out the country. Don't care who is coming as long as border is open. Give every one who comes in a corona virus test and 14 day quarantine. That should be enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baansgr Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Someone high up in the echelons is going to do a dance that will surely bring the tourists, just as it did the rain.

Popular Post hotchilli Posted May 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2020 13 hours ago, snoop1130 said: Thailand tourist arrivals may fall by as much as 65% in 2020 due to virus outbreak Very optimistic, try 80% you'd be nearer the mark. Even if flights open up to Europe later this year, people have more important things to think about. Employment, recouping lost savings. even safety in traveling by aircraft... if anyone is going to think about a break it will likely be within their own country or very near. Long distance travel is going to take much longer to re-establish. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean60 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I guess it is good to have the dirty Farangs now!!!! Tourism industry is not standing for 11% GDP. Maybe the direct income is 11%, but the indirect income such is it's affect on developing industry and etc will bring it to 20 or maybe 30% of total GDP.

JohnBZ Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Thailand will waive the insurance and 14 day quarantine requirement if it wants too. I think Thailand will. It is logical that Europeans and Americans will not come soon because of the long distance and high infection rate there. Chinese and other asians should come. Soon I hope, otherwise where do you think Thai tourist industry is headed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeasq60 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Im ready to jump on the first thing smoking back to Thailand so I can be with my wife.

You pretty much can call anything second wave. Is a single new case considered a second wave? If not, how many? Can anyone be specific about it?? Let us get back to our life and it is economical issue by now! Is it still not clear at this point in time? How many people get killed (55) and how many get infected (3000)? Time to loosen up Thailand. There are a lot cheaper way to get that kind of results!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonysilly Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Again with the negative artical I guess you are smart guy?? No tourist?? How about 99% no tourist. Thank you corona!!!

No worries normal precautions how long have you been alive on this planet and have survived other illnesses that have originated from all over the world, youll be ok! I have no fears if Thailand requires I wear a mask for now to return to Thailand Ill do it. Gloves to board a flight no problem just let me get flying again.
