I'm on Samui, and my local restaurant lady is fine with foreign tourists coming in. But she's scared stiff about Thai tourists - she told me that the Thai people think the jab is magic and that with the "injected amulet" just one time in their body, they think they are protected against all ills forever. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont confuse me Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 "Super Poll" "The majority of Thais want" A super poll of 1000 select people reflect a true reflection of the what the government want NOT a true poll by any standards, as normal this junta manipulates everything ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont give a <deleted> about Thailand, they just want cheap life as possible, enjoy 40THB street food meal and 7/11 beers. They want empty beaches for themselves, dont want other handsome sexy man competition in the bars. They want free only Pfizer vaccine and they would like to prohibit Songkran. Sounds ok to me. You stuck in your home country feeling left out , are you? Nice to be treated well and apreciated for a change. Long may it continue. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Charlie Halliday Posted June 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2021 It's only because of covid that we've become aware just how little money the country actually has.. I used to think Thailand was relatively wealthy amongst the Asean Group of countries but looking around the country now it is glaringly obvious how broke the majority of people are... The so called middle class have been wiped out by this epidemic. Aside from the big Chinese Thai families that own corporate Thailand, there is nothing but poverty below that line now. So without tourism that middle class of millions are now back to working on the farms again. Sad times for Thailand 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas J Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Seems like only a short time ago there was a post saying most Thai's wanted to continue to ban tourists. Based on the policies the government has put in place to enter Thailand it appears they are still not welcoming with open arms. I know I would like to vacation outside of Thailand but won't do it because of the requirement to be in confinement for 15 days upon return and I live here. So what would give anyone the thought that tourists who are traveling to Thailand for short periods of time would want to put up with that cost and aggravation. There are other tropical places to visit and so long as the impediments are in place and so many of the tourist attractions and bars shuttered I would not expect the flood gates of tourists to be arriving anytime soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phuket Pete Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Just 9 days to go before the grand re-opening and yet the only thing that is open in Phuket are the beaches. There's a complete lack of urgency that Karon, Kata and Kata Noi beaches are full of rubbish and for the last week, have been littered with thousands of 'oil blobs' that stick to your feet and have to be scrubbed off with detergent. If anyone does arrive here after July 1st expect some adverse publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous! That's the way statistics and surveys work. With a population of 60 million, surveying 1068 truly random people will get you a 95% confidence level of being with 3% of the right answer. I'm not claiming they surveyed truly random people, but their methodology was sound if they did. https://www.surveymonkey.com/mp/sample-size-calculator/ Edit: There's a 99% confidence that they're within 5% of the right answer. And when their number is above 90%, it's a pretty good bet that "vast majority" is a good characterization. Whether we like it or not.

If it's inevitable that the Indian variant is already in the country, then we're waiting for people to get two doses of a vaccine that is effective against that variant. When the country is opened, the tourists may not pose a risk bringing the variant in, but they can possibly transfer it and at the very least, they will be inconvenienced if everything locks down to stop the Indian variant, should it be required. Sure, let them in, but don't ignore the fact that vaccine choice, or number of doses required to open the country, may cause another lock down sometime soon.
