scandream Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 In spite of so-called easings, there are now so many regulations that I would prefer to stay at home voluntarily. But anyway, I'm interested to know whether travel within Thailand is possible again without restrictions? It is nice to see that life is gradually coming back. Also that the restaurants and shopping malls reopen. But it bothers me that the surveillance of the population by ThaiChana is going too far! In a shopping mall, the registration for each individual store has to be carried out again, which is absolutely incomprehensible, since the entrance control already has the dates of the registration. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I am avoiding Thailand for 2 years because I do enjoy a drink of beer or wine with my dinners, and even lunches sometimes. I do hope that the General and his gang have lowered their Berlin wall by them. Good luck Thailand you really need it. Geezer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they've been told not to massage my face, and I tell them stay away from my feet & toes (too ticklish), so the best is that they concentrate somewhere in between the two ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 A promising step in the right direction. In my opinion everything should be allowed to open on June 1st. End the lockdown now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I am surprised, that they got the priority listing wrong; only as third element the government refers to: 3. Amulet shops can open but with social distancing. Somsak, Somchai, Yodsak and Sakchai will be more than delighted to know; crazy driving can start again ????

So, if the heat index is 48C outside and I walk the kilometer from my apartment to the Big C and arrive with my temp about 1 degree elevated above normal (has happened twice), I will be reported to health officials? And, then what will happen? Will I be detained? have been walking many kilometres per day these past months during lockdown and never failed a temp check yet...don't worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats even if you have a flu. So everyone who gets a temprature now will have to leave their job for 2 weeks. This is so crazy that I am dumbfounded. These measures will lead to a massive cull in the world population ( which I believe is the idea ) through depression, suicide, illness cause by loneliness and isolation.

I don't feel sick. Don't feel particularly hot or feverish. Then, I walk out in the heat, sun, and humidity and when I arrive at the Big C, the stupid little infrared thing reads me as being higher than normal. So, they don't let me in. Then, I sit in the shade for a few minutes and test normal. There's also variation in these readings with those temp check things heat/humidity aside. So, if a place is required to report me if I show up with a high temp, what's going to happen in that situation? 53 minutes ago, Sumarianson said: That is the problem with the app. Once you have a temp.

Popular Post Krataiboy Posted May 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2020 ▪︎ People need to log-in via ThaiChana platform before doing any activities. George Orwell must be spinning in his grave. Everything he predicted in his 1984 novel appears to be coming horribly true - not just here, but everywhere. The pandemic has supercharged the process. Scientists say the virus is past its peak and may shortly die out. But its legacy in terms of lost human rights and freedoms looks likely to live on. And even get a lot worse. It is highly unlikely power-hungry political leaders will automatically hand back citizens rights and freedoms filched under the pretext of "saving" us from a pandemic arguably no more lethal than seasonal flu. Some are already talking of retaining the right to reimpose curfews, lockdowns, social distancing and other restrictions indefinitely to ward off future pandemics. The "new normal", it seems, could be ongoing medical martial law. This is worrying enough. But arguably as concerning is increasing adoption by democratic nations of Chinese-style hi-tech total surveillance and control systems. These are stepping stones to a dystopian Orwellian future. Seeing is believing. A city in China has proposed making a (mandatory) color-coded coronavirus tracking app a permanent fixture for residents, allowing authorities to track how much citizens exercise, sleep, drink, and smoke. The app would give each resident a color-coded score of between 0 and 100 and would then be used to permit or deny entry to public buildings or allow the use of public transport. https://www.vice.com/en_asia/article/v7gem3/china-wants-to-use-its-coronavirus-app-to-track-how-much-its-citizens-sleep-drink-and-smoke.

When you think about it, there is no need to chip us when we are already "chipped" by our smartphones. But just try suggesting people throw them away, as I did recently! I don't buy the China v The West narrative peddled by the controlled mass media. The "communist" state is run by billionaires and represented on the most influential of globalist organisations - UN, WEF, Bilderberg, Trilateral Commission, etc. I fear it is the shape of global governance to come. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is clear that the Chinese are neither interested by war, nor by communism, but only by money. They are ruled by the party for historical reasons, not for ideological ones...it just so happens that it is a very convenient system to keep the bulk of the money into a few hands. Many states in the West are becoming more and more authoritarian because they are broke, crumbling under the weight of the mountains of debt they have recklessly built, aware that they won't be able to pay to keep the populations happy and quiet...many are just a few steps away from civil war or revolution, and their governments are well aware of it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
