In case of Mr Anutin it means the Millions of Chinese which fighting to get the STV in zero case. I think, he will never change his loud spoken minds about the Farang People. So, sit down again, have a beer. He does not mean us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polaky Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Previous report was that on the 4th november all the heads will meet to decide how and when, sounds very much like it will go ahead but to iron out the quarantine issue, no doubt it will be allocated to a few islands first to contain any outbreak and isolate the mainland.

They have no idea what measures to use, as is evident from the daily flip flop on the proposals to date. The whole thing is just a comedy show. The nail right on the head " measures " it means we are scared <deleted> have nothing medically in place to address the second wave which will come when they open even with a a vaccine! We are going to open up so when you apply be ready for the 100 things you still need and beware every Embassy has a different story!

Popular Post biggerpill Posted October 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2020 3 days ago I returned to Thailand from Europe and got out into the hotel quaruntine. I am a a family member with a Thai wife..The hotel is lovely and everyone is nice but being stuck in 1 room for 14 full days is hard. Iam an american but have lived in Portugal for the last 4 months. All these latest proposals for foreign tourists,home owners but NOT the retirees are in summary a joke. The Thais only mention the added benefit of all the income they will get but never what the foreigners need. I have not seen my wife and Thai daughter for 10 months and this was the only way.But as I explained to my wife I do not see myself making Thailand a permanent home by the way they have treated the foreigners in general. Immigration with tm30,9,28...come on.They don,t ask our opinion what we think. I am an alien but NOT from mars..Philippines will give me easy retirement visa with no hassles, no reporting because they want me and need me..Thais don't really want us here. With the latest insult to homeowner to put up 100,00USD in thai bank to come ..obviously heads are spinning and with the condo glut already and prices dropping how stupid it would be to dump more good money into bad. I will probably considering the current sh_tshow talk to some realtors about my very large condo in Bangkok to sell. This place is not the place where I want to enjoy the rest of my life. In Europe where I have a small house near the ocean they love foreigners. The beaches are clean,the drivers are not insane, the price are much cheaper than Thailand and there is NO choking smoke in the winter..I see no comparison..yes I will miss my crazy and affectionate massage girls( and my wife.LOL) but overall there is no comparison to the quality of life for a foreigner ..especially an expat.Thailand and the people who run it are blind and self centered. Not only that they truly believe that people want to come here now. So may better place to go and probably live ..and I live it here and my family but after 8 years I am tired of being abused by immigration, almost killed everyday on the road, being overcharged cause I,m white,looking at garbage and bags everywhere I go,breathing the most polluted air when the burning starts,being shaken down for money by police,..and swimming on always dirty beaches now. Thailand needs to recognize us as a valuable part of their culture. We can hardly ever become citizens here..but everywhere else they WANT us not just for our money..The politics as well clearly show you how Thais are treated by their government.( So many starving and not working)..so why should we be expected to be treated better than that.I,m sorry for my family here but the future does not look bright. I,m getting old now and can afford to live anywhere but really tired of jumping through hoops and bullcrap. Maybe this quaruntine is making me crazier but by being alone and isolated gives time for quiet thought and contemplation..it's like a bad hand of cards in poker with money in the pot...TIME TO FOLD! Good luck and well wishes to others like me put into an uncomfortable position to make such harsh life decisions. No reason to be abused..YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockbottom Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Quote Back in February he had his now infamous spat with a "dirty foreigner" who wouldn't accept his offer of a mask. Attention! Calling all dirty, rotten, unshowered and smelly foreigners...we need your cash like NOW! Bonus offer: we have desperate hookers....ahhhh sorry "charms" you need.

Do these people really look ready to you? It's not going to be trivial to undo the fear and hysteria that's currently in the population. Everyday we live like this it's going to be harder to go back to normal. Unusual press release , as if it was an appeal to calm the citizens , using the WHO backflip statement that lockdowns are harmful.... Evidence is clear Lockdowns are damaging Evidence is clear , Masks do not protect Evidence is clear people are getting angry Evidence is clear , manslaughter charges for the accountable should be implemented Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambum Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Every time this man opens his gob, I want to vomit! Going back a few months:- "on 13 March 2020 that Anutin made a series of derogatory comments disparaging foreigners.[11][12] Anutin wrote on a Twitter account, "...all you see are farang ('Westerners'). They flee their own countries for the safety of Thailand. In Chiang Mai, 90% of Thais are wearing face masks, although none of the farang are wearing masks." He went on to add, "This is the reason our country is being infected [by the SARS-CoV-2 virus]. We should be more careful of the farang than other Asians. At the moment it is winter in Europe and farang come to Thailand to hide from the [Covid-19] disease. Many farang dress dirtily and don't shower. All [Thai] hosts have to be very careful." Now he wants them back :- "We must use all our "charms" to get lots and lots of them to come". And ""The rest of the world has confidence in us and many foreigners want to visit." (Like the 120 Chinese who supposedly had the Special Tourist Visa? When in actual fact ZERO Chinese had even applied for it!!!) And spouting this rhetoric while NOT wearing a mask while everybody round him IS! (Something else he has apparently changed his mind about!) Does he honestly think people have such short memories? (No answer necessary!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apetryxx Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Where do they find these guys? Under rocks I guess. I love Thailand, am married to a Thai/American citizen for 20 years who I adore. Love my extended Thai family and we have a comfortable home we have owned for many years. Having said all that, we’re packing up for the Algarve In Portugal where I’m welcome unlike here where I’m constantly maligned. Bye Bye Thailand and so sorry for all the people we employ and are leaving behind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulbj2 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Do you think it has dawned on the clowns running Thailand that without tourism, a huge number of people are going to be out of work and banging on the governments door for hand-outs, or rioting because they have nothing to eat. Has the penny dropped that the Thai tourist is at or near tip-over point when so many businesses will have gone broke that tourism as it was in the past cannot be resumed because the number of available hotel beds and restaurants to serve them will no longer be adequate to accommodate them? I know of at least one restaurant that used to serve western tourists that has gone bust and I am certain that there are many 1000s more. Oh and did I forget to mention that maybe, just maybe, Thailand is not as clear of Covid-19 as the government would have people believe. Two Thais tested positive for Covid on arrival at an overseas airport - 2 people out of an aircraft full - that represents an infection rate rather higher than has ever been acknowledged by Thai officials! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
