May 16, 20205 yr ""Everyone has to cooperate," he added." Aye, there's the rub In my limited informal sampling, I see about 50-50 split between local idiots and farang idiots Considering we are far fewer in number, I'd say we're "punching above our weight"
May 16, 20205 yr 11 hours ago, Dumbastheycome said: A pragmatic decision that restores a reasonable measure of normality while retaining some restrictive aspects that presumably will retain a reminder of personal responsibility. Yes there are some unknowns as yet that people might have also presumed unnecessary that remain. The fact remains,in spite of the critics and doubters, that for whatever reason Thailand has so far escaped the horror story of other places. The irony of that is that so many of the TVF critics originate from those horror story locations. 14 days more will see if the story changes. While the Thai general population may become accustomed to coping with the Covid-19 measures of limitation how many and how quickly will they also gain a measure of awareness of the seriousness of global political agitations? Must be the SomTam.....

If they can open them now, hotels should start to reopen. We will see soon enough... What's the point of open Hotels?For example if I want to do a weekend trip to Koh Chang I probably will be quarantined for 2 weeks.Pool and beaches are closed,so no way anybody will go there.

The hotels outside the tourist areas will resume business when they are allowed. Theres no mention of hotels being allowed to reopen so not sure when that will be. I would assume it will be when they allow travel between provinces again

I have two young puppies and have to bring them to the beach at least 4-5 times a day and risk getting the 100,000 baht fine. police pickups going a few times a day to curse out people on the beach (95% Thai). just this morning a pickup with like 8 people at the beach, no masks chances of them getting fined = 0 but myself I decided to just pay some Thai person to bring my dogs out during the middle of the day as I know there's a big chance they would fine me. You don’t have to take them to the beech everyday. You choose to take them.

May 16, 20205 yr 18 hours ago, zzzzz said: YET beaches still closed??? Yes, odd isn't it? The reason they give is to prevent hordes of possibly unclean visitors from Bangkok bringing their infections to our clean and fair city by congregating on the beaches. And yet, as the announcement clearly says, "There are no changes in the measures on transportation -- no regular international transport, and strict screening of inter-provincial transport." So how will all these diseased hordes get through the strict checks and screening to pollute our beaches? If the beach closure was ever justified, you'd think it would be after they lift the restrictions on inter-provincial travel, not while they are in place.

Are hotel pools considered public or private? 18 hours ago, kingofthemountain said: Public pools are the pools open to a public the public can be the hotel guest or the condo renters A private pool is for example the pool in your villa garden only you can acess to the pool All Brits should be banned so that other nationalities can relax and enjoy the public pools. If the officials read foreign newspapers, they will probably ban all Brits from using the public pools, because they do not understand what is meant by social distancing. All they want to do is stand around the pool drinking beer. If this is how they behave in UAE, think what they will get up to in more alcohol liberal Thailand. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8314891/Ex-pat-Britons-ignore-Covid-19-social-distancing-drinks-swim-sing-UAE-beach-hotel.html

May 16, 20205 yr Quote: 4 Gym and fitness centres [...] ▪︎ public pools, allowing number of people in pool equal to lanes (at least 7-feet long) and only allowing one hour of use per person. ---------- Given that the metric system is the global standard, also 3 out of 5 anglo countries (+ quasi-anglo Ireland) use it, plus your international readers are used to it, wouldn't it be considerate/courteous to add it, and possibly not in brackets? You could fx write 7 ft/2 m - because that is very likely what the original was, before you converted it.
