Then you report it to Mr. Satit Pituetecha. He will give you 100 000 Baht. But then comes the catch. As a result he will put you right away in quarantine for 2 weeks in a isolated and expensive hotel with a price tag of a least 200 000 Baht. Nice deal. Yes my immediate thought 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have noticed a lot of these shields lately even though there was a govt announcement stating they were not safe and wearing them still qualified the wearer to a 20,000 baht fine? But I guess he can always fall back on the old "Dont you know who I am" clause and go scot free!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiFelix Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 1 hour ago, Burma Bill said: Yes indeed - this news has been posted on Facebook from another Thai news source (which I shall not name or copy). I received the post this morning on my Facebook page and it has gone worldwide via my large group of friends for "starters". The heading though, was more like "Tourists, come to Rayong for your holiday and if you become infected with coronavirus, we will give you 100,000 Thai baht" As you can imagine, the response is "unbelievable" to say the least!! Wait for the "fake news" response from the Rayong authorities. Agreed, its a very very poor decision this one. They would have been better off borrowing TAT's chocolate wheel again and coming up with some fantastic figures to report of how many thousands they have tested resulting in 100% negative results. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nkpjed Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 The stupidity level in this country from those in charge never fails to amaze me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next you're going to suggest that the quarantine hotel is owned by Mr. Satit Pituetecha... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tandor Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 ...well their mentality dictates they will be scouring the country for a Covid19 positive person, so as to get infected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Another prime example of governmental stupidity; this time in form of Piya Pitutecha, chief executive of Rayong Provincial Administrative Organisation. I might accept the bet if he coughs up THB 250K plus one Baht in form of a gold chain or a table fan with a little pink or baby blue bow on top. Sir, the damage is done, you cannot uncrack an egg shell! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kensawadee Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 and when 2,000 people make claims.... What will he do......????? NO WAY will he part with all that money (probably accumulated thru graft).... I think he is only 'talking' as he knows that 'talk is cheap' from gov't officials in Thailand......

Still don't complain, and then go for a swim in Rayong after a meal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
