If that is the case, Thailand will be in for a very rough ride similar to the Brazilian Outbreak, and the Indian surge in cases. A more worrying aspect is how the Thai Authorities will deal with it if that come to fruition Simple. Don't test and you don't see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does anyone know if the infected visited entertainment areas? Seems like a fairly big, albeit uncoordiated, push to discourage Songkhran travel/partying, without seeming too authoritarian, i.e. prayut ordering it and seeming like a army general. Yes, they are being reported in the daily cases. If you test positive, either from being in the hospital or doing a test elsewhere, they do extensive contact tracing. Very detailed. In the Thai media not long ago, they showed the route of an infected man in Chonburi. Gambling hall to massage parlor to home to restaurant to massage parlor to gambling hall, etc. Too funny. Exposed for all to see. LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They appear to have done pretty well at clamping down on the virus in other areas but Bangkok could be a lot more difficult. The ones in quarantine are tested multiple times. They are not the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickmondo 1461 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 i totally agree with the comment about the bars here in Hua Hin, I do not go in the bars, for the simple reason that nobody is wearing a mask. nobody, staff or patrons. no social distancing, nothing. one bar owner is always asking me to come in her bar, and I explain why to her. she says i worry to much..........ok.......lets see who is right.

Emdog 7434 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 "Dr. Thiravat said that venues, such as pubs and bars, are ideal for spreading COVID-19 because most visitors do not practice self-discipline, do not observe social distancing and tend to spend long hours in the crammed space, which often has poor ventilation." Mostly true dat. Last night heading back to Jomtien, passed so many bars that fit this description.

Tonypandy 377 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 20 hours ago, TallGuyJohninBKK said: From the TH Ministry of Public Health, showing from mid-Dec. 2020 through early April 2021. I believe, the red line reflects people who get tested and found positive on their own, whereas the tan bars reflect sporadic outreach testing. For whatever reason, in their chart, they don't tally the two categories of positive cases together, but instead, treat them as separate/overlapping categories. The Samut Sakhon outbreak involving Myanmar migrants earlier this year (shown in the tall tan colored bars) certainly would get counted as at least one of the prior waves. Compared to other countries that have had waves this is a ripple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if you pass the test then no need for quarantine, those not taking the test have to do a 14 day quarantine. All Songkran festivities have now officially been cancelled in Burriram due to two new cases being found there. Its a wise move indeed and one all provincial governors should adopt. With the lack of leadership from the government individual Provinces need to step up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
