To kill the virus. More seriously... there is a "weak spot" in all the borders saga.... The ASQ system (controled quarantine for any people coming by air travel). If the Covid situation within Thailand is getting out of hand (from a thai point of view)... don't you think politicians would not make the calculus : -few people concerned -most of them foreigners -so big political and face gain to put this system on hold We saw this temptation... when they lowered the quarantine duration from 14 days to 10 days... before to put it back very quickly at 14 days because of the new "wave" ! Let's not forget : this system was created (last year) when Thailand had very few cases... Today the situation is totally different. The fear is greater... The fear should not be great, for variants are less dangerous then the original virus. IT Will die when temp Stay high in the country. So if healthy and wat good, the immune system wil do the job! So don't het afraid if you sanitize and be considering safety. Stay out of infection zones. You wil be safe! Greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 elgenon, re your question. Thailand is not the only country who are using dogs to sniff out COVID. You should give google a shot and see where the method began. Just so you know Thailand is indeed. Not the center of the world. or solar system or even Galaxy. Sorry to disappoint.

joebrown Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I really feel sorry for the PM and his 'yes men'. It must be so difficult to get the balance of military manpower right so as to control Covid and ensure all aspects of necessary military functions are functioning as normal. Can you imagine the internal chaos that would certainly arise should soldiers be taken away from their normal functions such as cutting the generals' lawns or cleaning their cars. Then there is the inevitable failure to landscape their golf courses and cut the fairways. Heaven forbid, we're talking about a potential mutiny amongst hundreds of 'should have been retired years ago' generals! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you not? I certainly would especially since the current Covid surge in Malaysia is now the worlds worst and has been an issue since the first week of May. The Malaysian government have very recently decided against re-introducing a nationwide, 2020-style lockdown. It is that serious. The fact that Thailand hasn't proactively tightened the southern border restrictions is apparent. This new infection has been rather benignly palmed off to the media as due to the victim being "...visited by family who entered Thailand from Malaysia through an informal border crossing" indicates another epic failure of the armed forces to stop this open abuse of illicit border crossings. Informal = illegal. This is the sort of stuff that viable, opposition parties no-confidence motions need to be based on, not which minister is getting a free pass on illegal land purchases or which leader is staying in an army-provided house.

DefaultName Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Thailand has a 2,416 km land border with Myanmar and a 595 km with Malaysia. Most of this doesn't have so much as a piece of string to tell you when you enter a new country. How are they supposed to close that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essex boys Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Borders are notoriously hard to control, I mean look at the uk we are an island but the migrants cross the English Channel knowing they will more than likely get asylum, it’s so prolific that rubber dinghys in Calais are selling at inflated prices (pun intended) that’s if you can get one...it’s all down to money and as always there are people willing to ‘help’ for a price...but I would have thought that a military government would have the protection of their borders as a priority...
