The dangers here are of a totally different nature, mostly H&S, or traffic related. Of course, if you act like an ar#$@ole, inviting trouble, you'll probably get it, and when the Thais do kick off they play to win, no Queensbury rules here.

Thaistucm Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 NZ has no covid19 cases and hasn't had new cases for over 2 weeks. So why only 9th in the world behind countries that still haven't got control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjSilver Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 What a joke. I would feel more safe living in Italy then Thailand. The Thai government is covering up the real extent of how many in Thailand have covid-19. Thailand is a top 3 country with covid-19 since so many Chinese go there then to Italy or Iran. There are only 3 countries I would feel worried to visit or live in and that is China, Thailand and Iran because of covid-19. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero is a pretty low number. So I feel extremely safe. But Thailand may have done too good a job in stopping the spread therefore no herd immunity and susceptible to an outbreak if/when borders are reopened. If you want the herd a lot of people have to die, even Sweden with there illinformed theory didn't make herd immunity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilly07 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Thailand locked down in good time and introduced mandatory quarantine for incomers but without widespread testing nobody knows how many cases there are. However a spike in deaths has not happened so either Thais have very strong immune systems or experienced a weaker strain of Wuhan Flu last year. USA is suggesting Wuhan Flu started in August last year so with so many direct Wuhan flights maybe Thailand experienced a less virulent strain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMo Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 What a pathetically poor and distorted study this report is based upon. The average deaths per million population world wide is 54 and cases is 960. How can Switzerland with 224 deaths per million and 3,588 cases be the safest country in the world from Covid-19. Germany's numbers are 106 and 2,226 respectively. Thailand's are 0.8 and 45. I know where I'd rather be and that's right here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bert bloggs Posted June 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2020 I feel far safer here than my old home town ,it was overun by ,lets say non local people ,i saw three instances where people were mugged and the perp ran off ,and that was in the street where i worked ,most crime was carried out by immigrants ,some from eastern european countrys and others by people with darker skin ,,some areas you would not visit at night ,and in the end the wife and i had to stop exercising in the park ,at our sons school the police stood at the gates at going home time. when i went there 40 odd years ago ,it was a nice little working class town ,now its another country . here in Thailand in 15 years i have seen one fight and that was three Thais fighting ,i will agree the roads are far safer back home , but i dont mind driving here . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must go visiting soon in Europe but I go just after can be sure first that I can return back as tourist to Thailand in one month from leaving. Europe is getting over the virus now, it is still here but in much lower numbers so extremely unlikely you will have problems if you take sensible precautions, soon it will be beaten in Europe. South America and Russia are different stories, they are in the early days and the virus is spreading rapidly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecoolfrog Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 2 hours ago, Guderian said: What kind of a nonsense survey is this? Switzerland has had over 31,000 cases and almost 2,000 deaths, compared with 3,000 and 58 for Thailand. The virus doesn't care if you've got a view of glorious snow-capped peaks or a mango tree, if it's got your name on it then bad luck. Have you considered that Switzerland has tested more intensely and consequently its results are more accurate. Anybody who takes the Thai figures literally is utterly delusional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurg Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 The Numbers of testing means nothing much to me, but the numbers of death might be more conclusive. Thailand did very very well in dealing with Covid-19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next door Germany (Bavaria alone) with approx. same population as Austria has more infections/deaths than Austria has. We had no deaths for a few weeks, very low new infections, and Germany is better? Forget this study done by an investment firm.
