10.42m. Wow.

So because Thai's don't have to do a test before flight, the Thai that tested positive on arrival may now have infected many more people on her flight 

 

That's the main thing stopping me coming back, I'm more worried about catching it on the flight or in Quarantine ????

How does it work in ASQ hotels. We've just had 2 people at work tested positive, one was off four weeks before testing negative, the other five weeks. Do you stay in these hotels indefinitely paying these very expensive prices, what if you can't pay after the first two weeks does the Covid insurance cover any of it.

More reason to keep the borders closed, in fact they should build a wall, a huge wall, very tall.... now where have I heard that before?

I wonder if the man is looking for something to do?

yeah, keep it tight Thailand and consider not lowering time periods for quarantine, whining foreigners don't give a damn how many succumb to the disease here. They are not interested in the health of the country in the least -  this is made very apparent by the total disregard for others displayed all over the world by citizens in their own countries..
