BS. Just using this mysterious virus to get riddle of the migrants. I guess they can not do it legally. Pure distraction.

 

Whether they like it or not, they cannot just get rid of immigrants. If they did so, many industries would be severely short of staff including many major projects. There are plenty of jobs Thais just don't want to do!

So the borders are not closed.............only the airports & sea ports.

On other social media sites, migrant workers, from the seafood market, are saying they paid military personnel 6,500 baht per person to enter Thailand and not have to go into quarantine and not have USD$100,000 covid19 insurance policy.

 

There you go. Entirely plausible. And will any active officials in positions higher up the chain be charged, arrested, tried, convicted and imprisoned? Of course not. Prayuth spends half his time protecting corrupt police, customs army, and immigration officials from the law. 

 

Despite frequent protestations to the contrary.

Why can't these idiots watch what they say? "It's their fault" to the less intelligent means "Feel free to kick their heads in". We need to work together, not apportion blame to one another.

Constructive comments not welcome here

The most important thing is that we can blame it on SOMEONE.

Because you have a small country with one of the worst death rates in the world. You need it....

Agree, but when I read" massive testing" in Thailand.........

Great!  Sadly, Belgium is perhaps the worst country right now with regards to the virus.  Sad times there....but best of luck in getting it under control.

Prouves that stupid lock down measures don t work..( 50% of deads was in nursery homes where we did not manage to keep the virus out, avarage age of covid dead is 83y, average age in Belgium is 82y)  but my point was when I read " Thailand do massive testing", mentionning 100K.....
