So have you witnessed large numbers of infected people, packed hospitals, mass deaths in Thailand then?

 

Because I certainly haven't. 

 

Or perhaps the 78 or so who liked your post have?

 

Or perhaps you all just can't bring yourselves to admit Thailand handled everything far better than the shambolic UK where the police seem no longer able to enforce the law and politicians think the law doesn't apply to them and their friends in ever growing numbers.

 

You prefer to think Boris and his collection of star performers in cabinet actually make intelligent decisions, based on secret information they don't reveal but that you all knew all along! Good luck with that!

I wouldn't trust Thailands response to this crisis. The Lumpinee boxing stadium and the Thong Lor club incidents looked to be the start of the clusters exploding and then by magic it started disappearing.

I think everyone would agree that Thailand hasn't suffered the large number of deaths from covid-19 that some other countries have experienced.

 

But, what if there were 200 deaths a day?  Spread around the country.  wouldn't be noticed ????

If that’s the case how come Greeks can enter U.K. but not vice versa. ? 

Residual EU agreements and even prior agreements. Politics. 

 

And maybe the Greeks are in positive discussions and don't call Britons "Dirty Farang."

Oh dear! No, you can put two or three words together without having a full sentence. You made a stupid question because you needed an answer that matched the stupidity, right?

This must be a misunderstanding. How could anyone possibly associate ‘Thailand’ with a ‘red light’?

 

 

Of course, Thai's never stop for red lights, that is why all of the crashes and deaths according to the road fatality brigade that posts daily.

You mean the anti gas drops you add to beans.  I always wondered if there were books written on the subject of gas.

No, it wasnt "by magic"

All public transport was stopped .

Everyone wore masks .

Shops and schools closed .

Everything closed , apart from essential things 

Curfews were adhered to .

Heat testing and hand sanitising everywhere

All flights in stopped .

It wasnt "magic" , it disappeared through peoples willing co operation

What about the mass exodus from Bangkok on buses, following  the boxing match?

I think the European countries opening up is beneficial for their economies and the virus risks involved are the same for all them. Banning tourists is pretty stupid if the economy is suffering, Bali is opening from 1st September to foreign tourists. Thailand could well be the one's left to suffer if they don't open up.

for anyone really interested and not interested in Thaibashing. Thailand reported around 2400 deatsh more then normal. That is on top of the 56 deaths so if we all attribute those to covid then still they did it many times better then sickly UK. 

 

In the UK 64500 people died more then normal. See the difference. 

 

I doubt the proud Thai bashing people from the UK will ever acknowledge that their country royally screwed up and the harsh measures Thailand imposed worked.

 

So why import cases from a known virus hotspot. UK is just being childish by not putting Thailand on the risk as its a low risk country. But then again what do you expect from a country run by their current PM. 

Almost everything you post about Blighty is tinged with contempt.

It went from 182 new infections on one day back to 100 the following day and steadied at 100, I was there and the lockdown had not started. The MRT/BTS and buses were never stopped. The figures have been fake the whole time.

 

Not much testing, not many cases, simples.

Yes it is because the users on this forum think that their home country is doing so well and keep bashing Thais while in reality they are the worst hit in Europe.

 

Now with the scenes i saw of the pub openings the second wave is just a matter of time.

 

I would not have the same contempt if the users on this forum were a bit less anti Thai and the UK had their business in order. 

 

But facts don't lie and i guess it hurts to have to admit that they mess up over there. 

 

I guess it hurts now that its not Thais that gets bashed but the UK (based on facts)

I think it's more to do with us thinking our countrymen can fight and beat the Germans while your countrymen hid in cellars. The EU is the same game under a different name, we're still fighting, and you're still hiding in the cellar. 

 ..... and maybe we'll still lose, and have a United Europe under Germany, but at least we didn't give up!

 

Anyway, back to COVID and I'm still of the opinion, let those susceptible die and let the survivors move on.

Thai government is totally untrustworthy. From a dirty fallang.

[ThailandGuy]

Strange as Thailand has almost no Covid 19 infections and the UK is exactly the opposite.  One would expect the 14 days quarantine the otherway around. Stupid British People ! They don't listen and will probably get a even bigger second wave ! This does not make sense at all.

You do realise that there is not much virus circulating in the community apart from some care homes and certain factories with certain ethnicites working in those factories which were not not people enjoying the pubs over the weekend!

It's a red herring to respond to criticisms of the Thai response to Covid 19 (or their lack of apparent honesty about their numbers) by saying the poster isn't sufficiently simultaneously bashing their own country. I'm from the U.S. I bash the stupid and incompetent U.S. government all day long in contexts where there other people who care about that (and currently live there having to deal with that stupidity). When I raise questions about the numbers in Thailand it's with no shirking of my responsibility to hold my home country's government accountable, too. One can walk and chew gum at the same time. 

 

Honestly, some things are going better in Thailand than in the West (e.g., mask wearing). And, some of that is consequential. And, and, and the reports being fed to us here are so very obviously problematic and even more so if viewed in the context of the Thai DOPH data that they themselves have released showing a big and consistent increase in monthly deaths (diverging from a 3-year long consistent number) starting in May of 2019 and continuing through the last month reported (April 2020). No mounds of bodies here or social media posts clarifying things for us. But, there's the DOPH data...so, one wonders.
