I wish i could have earned enough money to party that much from selling food when I was in my 20s.

Jesus! Then she set off on a partying and shopping binge for 2 weeks! Words fail me the contempt I feel towards this irresponsible super spreading biatch.

Most of her money was from selling Deserts

So why are we not being told where this infected food vendor was selling her potentially dangerous food? In a different article I read she operated in the Meechok area which is my normal shopping location. This partial release of information smacks of a cover-up and a cynical attempt to paper over the vast number of potential people who this super-spreader has actually infected.

Being a land owner in the Middle-East explains it, thanks.

I'm ill with all the symptoms of Covid, so I'm going to a private hospital for the test.

 

But I'm just going to stop off at a Hot Pot Buffet for 45 minutes on the way.

All channels so I assume they will have checkpoints at all entry roadways in addition to the airport?

Also, I would assume the 14 days is home quarantine as it was last time?

Personally, I would look at it as my potential last meal.  Maybe a big burger at Duke's would be my choice. ????

What about all the people who were at the wedding in San Pa Tong; nothing said about tracing and testing them ?

As usual the authorities are in a shambles thanks to one super-spreader woman who visited dozens of location in CM and must have been in contact with thousands of people. One day after issuing restrictions on businesses like bars and restaurants the esteemed authorities have now placed a 14 day ban on bars! Do those who have issued these regulations have one functioning brain cell amongst them? The woman visited Meechok, Kamthieng, Central Festival & other high traffic locations but they are not being closed. But hundreds of bars that she did not visit have had their livelihood destroyed. How will this virus situation ever be dealt with in an intelligent manner with these dolts in power.
