Latest travel restrictions map

There is also a clickable map at the same website:

A click on the name of most provinces leads to a page with five news sections each (in Thai language). Usually section 2 is the link to the rules for travelling in or out of the province.

I rest my case. On another note, most statisticians claim that the known people that have tested positive is probably less than half of people that have actually caught the virus, weren't tested and have n o symtoms. That would make the survival rate closer to 99.9%

You are using official Thai fatality figures from Covid-19 to claim the overall fatality rate from the virus. That is misleading. 

 

There is another thread here discussing excess mortality numbers in Thailand during the epidemic. According to those numbers, there are tens of thousands of unexplained deaths during peaks of infections in Thailand.

Why would you want to do that when you should know that if you and your wife have not been vaccinated you both stand a very good chance of becoming infected and hospitalised? 
surely you can wait at least until you get a jab or two for the safety of all.

 

What a load of junk.  Did you just imagine that?

It is an abbreviation for MATHematicS! Really. LOL

 

No kidding -- thanks.

 

That doesn't make the "th" and "s" sounds any easier for me to say together. A hard "c" followed by an "s," however -- can!

It's odd that they are labeling anyone who died after having tested positive for covid-19 within 28 days as having died from covid.

 

Prior to the pandemic, I suspect that many people around the world who died would have had a haircut in the last 28 days, but they were not counted as "death by haircut". There is a real push to bump up the figures to terrify the people so that they comply with whatever authoritarian measures their government brought in.

 

In the UK, there was a case where a workman died after falling off a ladder and hitting his head on the concrete floor. He had tested positive a few weeks prior, so his death was counted as a covid death.

 

There are similar stories from other countries: https://nypost.com/2020/11/18/croatian-man-who-died-after-falling-from-ladder-was-killed-by-covid-19/

WHAAAAATTTT?

 

How could you possibly jump to that conclusion?  You seem to have a very vivid imagination!  Let me explain, because you don't seem to have grasped the facts.

 

1) We get into the wife's daughter's car and wearing masks, drive about 45 kms without stopping.  It takes about 30 minutes.

 

2) We leave the car and join the family.  One sister is a biochemist with a PhD and travels around Asia and Europe lecturing, and her younger brother is head nurse/manages/big boss of a local health clinic.

 

3) Are you suggesting that if Covid were present in the family, that neither of those highly qualified people associated with health would not have warned us not to come?  Or that other family members would not have done so?

 

Jeez, you might want to stop being so prescriptive when you have no knowledge of the actual situation ????
