natway09 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 At least he is prepared to look at reality & not look through rose coloured glasses. This is what I have always said in that after all the hard work in containment to open up now would bring at least another 2 years of pain. I certainly hope that they can avoid a major outbreak now & contain the border runners from infecting others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the number of local transmissions starts to escalate significantly, we will not be cancelling our plans. We won't be taking public transport, and hand gels, masks, and sensible social distancing measures will be implemented. My heart bleeds for the resorts and other businesses up there who were counting on an income boost from the holiday season to survive, so actual quantifiable risk, and not fear or panic, will be the deciding factor. Thank you. You are truly a heroic farang. Find a heroic farang tee shirt or small flag. I'll call the media. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The baht could rise to Bt29.50 per dollar by the end of this year, strengthening from the Bt30 level, he predicted. if that's the case better say goodbye to exports and get ready for more factories closing down thus more unemployment and more people in misery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth Will Set You Free Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 10 hours ago, webfact said: He was optimistic that the number of new cases in Thailand would be contained as the government had put in place an effective tracing system. Well that tracking system did not stop them from entering the country! Plus many people are not even using it now days as they go shopping or entertainment. All mall door s has an unguarded table with a new temperature monitor and a sign- in sheet. That’s a optimistic tracking system for you........???????????????? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean60 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 We never had the first wave! he Thai government DID NOT have relief package for businesses here either. They offered 5000 Baht to workers which were laid off for a period of 5 or 6 moths and that was it. And now they are going to have cost for second wave? If you are putting money in your pocket then the list you could do is to be honest about it. Not everyone is a halfwit!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_lob Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 i don't want to say they are jumping the gun, but surely to have a ''second wave'', you need to go through a ''first wave'' beforehand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Anusorn Tamajai, former dean at Rangsit University’s Faculty of Economics, is either a psychic, a sage, an utterly brilliant man who can predict the future, or a fool. There are so many variables here, that attempting to predict any of them is going to result in inaccuracies and errors, and make those who attempt them look foolish. The only thing that is predictable, is that there will definitely be a large drop in spending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come next July, we would see if this guy's predictions are any good.The I'm the mean time, he is an ex... or former, or has been but is not anymore. Why do journalists pander to these has beens?

The government’s brilliantly conceived, meticulously calculated, and flawlessly executed tourism stimulus plans are guaranteed to produce in excess of 52 gazillian bajillion Baht over the next 30 days. This will more than compensate for any minor and temporary "second wave". But a 'state of emergency' still remains absolutely necessary.....just to make sure. All hale!

On 12/14/2020 at 8:14 AM, chang1 said: Is it not Bt28 billion revenue gained from taxes and Bt30 billion spent in Bangkok? If it's just Thai Baht, well that's already been accounted for. What the country needs to keep its head above water is foreign currency and if there's no tourists there's no foreigners currency. Thailand can not pay foreign debts in Thai Baht. But the Thai current reserve account at the moment is in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
