A very Thai version of "fleeing the scene" notes Thaivisa. But a potential for the spread of Covid-19 that continues to be at its worst in the Thai capital especially in clusters at crowded worker camps As soon as camps were shut down the workers left. They’ve all gone home to spread the virus. Because the virus is only in construction camps. NOT! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at asiacurious' comment . They are not making money but saving money by not having to pay , feed and house the construction workers that will be staying behind . That's why the comstruction companies where probably tipped of and now so many workers are on the way back home . Nobody caring about the spread just the money safed . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hotchilli Posted June 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2021 5 hours ago, webfact said: News sites featured videos of main arteries heading out of Bangkok jammed with traffic. Many of the vehicles were heavily laden pick-ups with workers clubbing together resources to beat the 30 day no-movement ban To be honest this is going to be another disaster in the making, but can you blame anyone. If i was told I was about to be involuntarily locked up in my camp I bu**er off quickly too. The authorities have got to get to grips with this and find more humane ways of testing/treating migrant workers... not threatening to lock them up like infected cattle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Australia Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) Driving to Pattaya from Hua Hin yesterday, I noticed the traffic jams everywhere and my lady was blaming road works. Now, I understand, people were fleeing the capital thus spreading the virus all over the country. The government's disastrous decision making becoming much more than inept, its actually becoming obviously criminal. So many avoidable lives will be lost soon and this country is going to be a much more scary place as was once Wuuhan, Italy or India recently. I hope I am wrong. Be safe everyone.

Cambodia apparently has 46% vaccinated - 1 jab or 2 I don't know. Cambodia is about 17% fully vaccinated at this point (meaning two shots). But that's still about four times better than Thailand at around 4%. Edited June 28, 2021 by TallGuyJohninBKK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiFelix Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Marvelous bit of thinking there. Lets not keep the covid restricted to a few construction sites around Bangkok, but shut them down and look the other way while the possibly infected can spread to every province in Thailand. Roadblocks, if anything like they are up my way, will be set up for sure but the only movement will be the guys down the back sharing a bottle of Lao Khao, having a BBQ and playing with their phones while people drive freely by.

the green light Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I don't blame them leaving. With half pay , little free food and no medical care, living in Bangkok is not cheap. It make logical sense to go back to their home villages. The only people left are the Burmese workers.. they can't go anywhere will it make sense for their employer to try to secure some vaccines for them? ... what is happening to the vaccination program? i guess it went M.I.A. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of them are Thais heading home until it blows over the migrant workers wouldn't get past immigration at the borders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
