realfunster Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I am not one to usually make glib ‘where are the face masks etc’ comments but this is an ill-advised photo-op given current government restrictions for Thai citizens and those living here. Particularly ill-advised, as I note our esteemed Health Minister front and center in the picture. Anutin must have purchased an ‘express quarantine’ package, last I heard, after close contact with infected persons, he was on 14 days home isolation which started 28 December.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grusa Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 The only reason I bothered to read this was; I had no idea what BWF stood for! I will spare you my imaginative constructs, I am sure you can coin your own. What a yawn........... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guderian Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I wonder if they'll be playing against a migrant workers team, lol. Why would you want to undergo quarantine for 15 days to get into a country with a major outbreak? Ting tong, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
