Daily 2.000-3.000 of locals getting the virus they dont care much about, but fully vaccinated tourists need insurances, 24/7 monitoring, face masks, wristband trackers, quarantines, 3 x long stick in the nose etc etc ????

the main goal of such measures and attitudes is to create a sense of national unity and

loyalty among thai people.

as my girlfriend told me once in the hit of a fight: WE ARE THAI PEOPLE !!

SO the government wants to create a sense of pride among thai people. and  a sense

that someone is looking after them and guard them from the outside dirty world.

it is an asian thing.

It may not arrive. I discovered a couple of years ago that my local postman couldn't be bothered to actually deliver the mail so he destroyed it. This went on for 18 months until, I guess, enough people were complaining about not receiving stuff they were expecting. As far as I know, nothing happened to him as he was close to retirement. In my native UK he would probably have been jailed.

Perhaps if you had shared a little something something.

Why change old habits? Although I think you'll find that it's normally pirate Windows 10 these days.

They should upgrade to Win7 and stop there. I've often thought of rolling back to Win7 or changing to Unix.

No way in he11  I'm going to Win 11. I've totally disabled updates on Win10 for the last year. No crashes, no viruses, etc.

Kind of reminds me of the late 60s British TV show “The Prisoner”. Use all those cameras to find the big white balloon coming out of the water. 
If they had a brain they would buy more vaccines instead of more toys. 

Hua Hin hospital still haven't any vaccine after 4 weeks .I telephone the hospital every week.

Slightly off topic. I'm on Win7. I don't want to change. I don't know how to. If it ain't broke. Don't fix it.????

In case you missed it, Patong has had a command centre for a while174ACE19-31D5-419D-99AA-C8402345FC51.thumb.jpeg.a6d2dc2712b60dbf8e6cb8bd07a35aaa.jpeg

Now this makes sense because someone is pointing at it so I know where it is. The picture in the OP is confusing. What am I supposed to be looking at?

100000 visitors in the first three months, generating 9 billion! They really are completely mad.

 

The only people using this ludicrous system will be those long term residents and visitors who think that being imprisoned on an island for 2 weeks, to allow them entry to Thailand, is better than being imprisoned in an ASQ hotel room in Bangkok.

Gilligan's Island ...

good god almighty..they are actually conducting this as a military operation.....its hysterically funny now ; utterly beyond belief......like a monty python sketch or that blackadder scene ( scale 1:1 turf on table of actual land taken by 20k dead)  or “oh what a lovely war”....with the cynical aussies singing “ they were only playing leapfrog.:....when one staff officer jumped right over another staff officers back”..... cue ceaseless high pitched insane laughter..... from the expats finally tipped over the edge into certifiable madness by it all..:.............

 If an infection is found, the information will be sent to health investigators so tourists can seek treatment

 

How the Faรช can there be an infection anyway??,

After a zillion tests done, 

at home, at airports and quarantine

 

After having completed doctors fit to fly & certificate of entry and all the other hoops one must jump through.

 

And that coming from vaccinated travellers, when most Thais havent even been vaccinated themselves.!!!

 

While at the same time there is 3-4,000 Thais PER DAY

wondering the sois infected,

and the Thai authorities dont seem to worried about putting such harsh restrictions on THEM  4,000!!!

 

But yet even having to track the few farang,

that all gone through the whole vetting proccess?

555

 

Its all starting to sound very absurd.

 

Unless the Thias think that every foriegner carry some

 STRAIN-F

Freddy farang strain:

 the particularly dirty, smelly strain that infects at the rate of 100x as many as the garden Thai variety Covid

????????????

 

 

 

this comment is right on the mark, What A way to treat tourist they are willing to come and spend LOTS of money in Thailand. This in NOT a way to welcome a guest.

Don't worry, no one's coming.

The only person who sounds worried is you.  We all know how you doom mongers hate the idea of people coming to Thailand and enjoying themselves.

I'm not worried in the slightest about no one coming. Our family holiday this year was awesome! It was how I imagine a Thailand beach holiday might have been back in the 50s.

Definitely not a doomer, nope. ????  

It would be far more interesting to learn :

 

- What was the budget for this so-called command center?

 

- What would be -normally- the market price for this so-called command center ?

 

- Which companies got the contracts to build it and fit it out ?

Just a couple of days away from the first wave of the 30-100 tourists a day now.
