If borders are opened as some suggest, many people will not only go into coma, but will die. Take the latest example of a country that has opened its borders to tourists, Spain, and see the tragic results - an upsurge of the virus and many sick and dead people. The tourist industry there also regrets the way the borders were opened, as the little business they had before is now gone. The Thai authorities are to be applauded for the way they are handling the epidemic - see the positive results.

The borders are open in the UK yet we now have fewer deaths from Covid and road accidents than Thailand has from just road accidents. As from yesterday, just 69 people on ventilators, down from 3,000, out of 65 million. Hospital admissions down as is the death rate. Figures may be increasing as the younger generation are becoming infected with little or no illness. As far as "positive results", I feel the hungry will disagree with you. I do wonder where you get your statistics from? The easy part is shutting the borders, the hard part is taking care of your own people whilst keeping the economy up and running. The Thai economy is in free fall and it's reserves will only last so long. Then there's the protests in Bangkok. Thailand has no plan, or the plans can change hourly. Long may it stay closed then the baht will start to show its true value. A big reset button for those who have taken western money for granted. If it's bad now, just wait until next year.

Ha ha....... Who didn't see that one coming ?    These boys are doing a cracking job, let's see if the "Duce"  has the balls to put the crown on, that'll be a laugh........    I'm getting that funny feeling that someone's reading Pol Pots manual again........  Must of had it translated from the original Chinese into Thai, oh sorry i forgot, most of the government khao jai Chinese already......    " Leave the city and go back to the country and grow rice ".......... Oh dear........ who says that history doesn't repeat itself ?

What is the best definition for all these (same) themes ?

One step forwards ...2 steps backwards

One step backwards...One step forwards

Or Running in circles

And that is only the beginning I guess...but then again no need to read the new posts...just make a screenshot of the 175+ announcements  and counter-announcements and have them pop up on the screen depending on your mood. To read  and react without moderation lol

I think it is called the shrimp tactic, attitude or something like that.

Quite typical, I'm afraid...

You do have to admit though after your slagging of the Government that the goal posts are moving every day. What looked like "safe" cities  6 weeks ago are now not (eg Melbourne & Auckland ).

Now if they had let planeloads of tourists in from these areas we would have the pandemic right here.

I am convinced that the Thai authorities are getting hundreds of worldwide 

reports every day & attempting the make the most correct, safest & often difficult decisions for the good of the Thai people & those of us who liver here.

Heaven knows, I am suffering in business very badly personally on 2 counts but do not want to see the place overrun with the virus like other places (Phillippines springs to mind) which in the long run could do more damage.

I stated before as February being about the time for serious appraisal & many airlines are looking at the same

What it is, is T.A.T and Phuket governor plus a multitude of businesses trying to push Prayut to open the borders.

While Prayut is listening to the health minister who says it would be suicide.

So depending which one posts a view the news changes every day.

So, today and tomorrow it will remain quiet and we should not expect any change.

That makes me happy.

Fricking Morons!  Thai military has been stupid for over 50 years!  Idiots in 1970....IDIOTS NOW !

What a few of you miss is the fact that non of these delusions of opening comes from the top guy. Just gives you more to complain about.

Great News , Stay Closed like Bali , maybe Virus weaken more

Yes people are being re infected in HK and Nevada USA don’t play with this KungFlu

I was thinking of doing a bit of domestic tourism next month....somewhere quiet. I was thinking somewhere in Phuket, as it is drivable for me. But not if they are letting in a whole mess of foreign covid-ridden tourists. Stay home or mind somewhere else is the message.

There are no Covid free countries.  At least not any which would citizens allow to travel to Thailand and return home easily. 

This has become a circus. Just wait until the foreign companies start closing their factories and the apartment builders go belly up...so much more than tourism affected

First of all just keep talking about their idiotic plan they must face the reality first where in my view normally thinking people won’t go there to be put in such an insanity but let’s see. I’ll be shocked if their plan will be working as they think it. So if you go from a covid free country then what’s the point of going through  all that insane process there? 

Anyway all these covid survey cases numbers  just very well manipulated by the  politics through the media it’s a nice fooling. I’m not saying there is no flue at all just like every year but now it got a huge marketing to be able to apply their mandatory vaccination program to every country.

Phuket residents can not to worry. So called ‘Phuket model’ is just another idiotic fantasy which will never be implemented. 

Ahhh, pining for the good-old days of the "Phuket model." 

"Which model do you like, 'eh?"
Hummm, sorta like the bookend models myself.

I didn’t expect that reply and I really see ground for it as 

1) I am not pretending to have an answer 

2) I am not here to give advice 

3) I am not a decision maker

That being said when I do make proposals, I stick to it and, above all, I do check with the other parties involved before making an announcement. 
 

i therefore have the right to criticise unthought Uturns enerving the powerless spectator that I am, spectator who is also an actor affected by these poorly thought announcements 

Have a good day

Yes, there are absolutely no Covid free countries. Except some islands in the pacific ocean. And I include Thailand into this statement. I don't belive in Santa Claus either, by the way.

 

Covid-19, the grand Thai theatre and drama

Easy there tiger. It's not going to happen.  All of us dirty covid ridden farangs won't be coming to Phuket now.

 

You're nice and safe. 

Thailand desperately need a new PM. New ministers with level headed and future forward drive. Prayut is not a people's person  and the people don't want him for the above reasons. 

Thailand need a election  to put a end to the army's racism and selfish manner.

I can go along with that.
