Thailand’s Prime Minister on Tuesday confirmed there is no lockdown in Samut Sakhon, Chon Buri, Rayong, Chanthaburi and Trat.

 

The clarification comes after Deputy Public Health Minister and MP for Rayong province, Satit Pitutacha, posted on Facebook on Monday evening, thanking the PM for approving the proposal to lockdown the aforementioned provinces. 

 

However, on Tuesday morning, the PM said no lockdown is in place in the five provinces or anywhere else in Thailand, TNA MCOT reported.

 

This was reiterated by Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) spokesperson Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin during the daily COVID-19 briefing.

 

Dr Taweesin said that while the provinces were operating at the “highest and intensifying level of control”, no lockdown was in place.

 

Late on Monday, Chonburi governor Phakthorn Thianchai announced a number of provincial restrictions aimed at helping to limit the spread of the virus.

Oh dear! From total lockdown to no lockdown. Let people travel from province to province. One can only feel confidence in their ability to control this.

The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

 

What a mess.

the PM did another u-turn within several hours.

Boris Johnson, known as U-turn Man, does change his mind within days, rather then hours.

 

if the general was running the real military war, his tactic would confuse his opponents and gave him victory.

 

Now, nobody will listen to any official announcements and follow them.

Look's like the government is an panicky mode, just random, contradicting decisions.

I am happy that I left the madhouse after the first lockdown.

To be fair there has been no u-turn, just inaccurate reporting, at no point was there a total ban on travel to or from the 5 provinces, restrictions yes, total lockdown no.

Well he really has only 2 options here: a total lockdown for a month, or let it rip.

Now NO lock down, I mean YES... Sorry; MAY BE.  
 

what’s happening with this Guys? ????

The PM had the final say. His ministers are all jockeying for attention and possibly his position. He straightened it out. All governments have dissension in their ranks. Get over it. 

Someone hinted it could happen in March.

rankers  then

Yep. Just driven BKK to Rayong on very quiet motorway.

No stops, straight through

 

 

Politicians speak.

Well that's it, it's over, as in the resistance is finished. The first outbreak was handled successfully by Prayut heeding the advice of the CCSA, in spite of a great deal of criticism.

The CCSA supported the new lockdowns, but Prayut has overruled them. And that's after refusing to take the blame for the restrictions, that's all been delegated to the provincial governors, who also won't take any notice of the CCSA's advice because they don't like criticism and being unpopular any more than Mr P does. So the CCSA, the only body here that actually knows how to deal with the virus, has been completely sidelined.

 

Game over, the virus wins hands down. Poor old Thailand, let down in your hour of need by a PM who bottled it. 

For those interested, I now know people isolating that work in Pattaya's Terminal 21 after a positive test there of another employee. Might be worth avoiding Terminal 21 for a while

Now, Prayuth is so obsessed with the optics of this thing, he is blinded from doing the right thing. Samut should have been locked down like San Quentin, from day one. That is WHY it spread so quickly. Dumb and dumber. 

 

Will this nation ever have qualified leaders and ministers? Or is it doomed to mediocrity, or worse, for all time? 

This country is absolutely crazy!

 

Is that your final answer???

That's what happens when marionettes run the country into oblivion, too many strings being pulled every which way.

Do I get a prize for guessing who is "dumbest"? I think he calls himself Pray-ute.The Pope sometimes uses a "pray-ute" ( A ute is what aussies call a pickup truck).The old "often off and on often" way of doing things.

But in fairness he did also state that it was up to each governor to make any additional restrictions they deem necessary. Chicken with it's head cut off comes to mind .................LOL If anyone knows what is really happening could you please inform the PM - Thanks ..........
