It's just all going to blend into one long wave now, with the stats heading in one direction, and that's up.

Like a German in German Parliament years ago who suggested to buy the island of Majorca of Spain because there where to many Spanish people there to his liking.

The OP is making a fair point but blaming it on the wrong people. if they're stopping people leaving Bangkok on Monday because of their high risk of carrying the delta variant to the provinces, why didn't they enact the ban immediately? Don't ask me, but it's been like this all along: give people plenty of warning that you're going to bring in restrictions so that they can get out of Dodge pronto. Don't whale on the Bangkok people, as with everything that's gone wrong on the Covid front since Christmas, it's the ineptitude of the government that's to blame.

The government closed the factories the laborers spread to the provinces. 
 

The government impose lockdown on Bangkok. People escape the restrictions.

I don’t think that government could better push the spread of Covid to the provinces if they tried. 
 

Vaccinate and do so fast. 
Not just Bkk, but everywhere.

Not with Sinovac, but AZ… quickly as possible. 

The real issue is lack of vaccines and has been for months. 
 

 

Yes, Sinovac is better than nothing, but concentrated efforts need to be made to get AZ and mRNA vaccines distributed.

The list of things the government could have and should have been doing grows by the day. Certainly, with 2,000 cases a day in the Bangkok metro area, it should be locked down. Why they are letting the super spreaders travel, is obvious by now. 

 

Easy enough to set up road blacks. If they cared. But, at this point it appears to be deliberate sabotage, to make sure the youth stay off the streets. And the ironic part, is that their extreme malfeasance is making the rank and file angry now. 

 

There is no end game for the army. No plan. Only a sad and desperate future, filled with nothing but hatred from the people. And hopefully ultimate failure, as a political force.

I'm sure they would have been interested in a drunken rant by a (properly masked) Pattaya farang.

Somewhat ironic to hear Pattaya dwellers condemning Bangkokians as (effectively) scum!!

The new regs come into effect on Monday, so it's "make hay whilst the sun shines". But, yes, stupid to have a grace period, because this is exactly what happens, and stupid go outside of Bangkok, because the virus doesn't hold itself until the ridiculously labelled "lockdown" comes into effect. Without sounding melodramatic, we are well and truly forked.

You lamented Bangkokians stealing Pattaya's vaccines and you posted this in the Pattaya forum.

 

But speaking of keyboard warriors, doesn't the shoe fit? Fit you, that is. You encountered Bangkokians who didn't wear a mask, and instead of confronting them, you came to this forum to complain about them.

So would you have confronted five young HiSo Thais. Others are correct this government doesn't care about the masses. They just want to stay in power and they will hope to do that by quelling the young who understand what is happening. Giving up three months salary is nothing to multi-millionaires who if successful with their ploy will get that back many many times over.

Well the nerve of them!

I sure hope these invaders get

holy หeแ rained down upon them.

 

Who do they think they are?

farangs?

I am afraid to say that  I am not Ex Special forces or a Hollywood super hero.  But I do have the intelligence not to confront 5 unknown  young fit Khun Thai males in a 7/11 carpark , and another red flag to me was what family contacts did these 5 young HiSo males driving a  new 500S Merc (red plates)  worth over 4++ million baht have ?  so I prefer to have a rant on ThaiVisa ...safer for my health  and long term future in Thailand 

I read they're closing  the pattaya to bangkok motorways between 9pm & 4 am, surely it would be better to close those motorways   4am til 9 pm, infecting fewer maybe

Where did you read this?  My wife is planning to drive Pattaya to Sakon Nakon soon and I don't want her to get jammed up.

Never mind, I researched and found this about the upcoming BKK curfew;

 

Checkpoints and patrol units will be in Bangkok enforcing laws and curfew measures from 6 pm onward starting today, citing anyone out between 9 pm and 3 am unless they are medical or utility workers travelling to work, or someone needing medical treatment en route to a hospital. Anyone in violation could be charged under the Communicable Disease Act and the Emergency Decree, where the harshest punishments include up to 40,000 baht in fines and 2 years in prison.

Fancy another Pattaya seal off like last year?

With travel permission at city hall/district office? Total chaos on day one.

 

Total traffic lockdown at Bangkok "borders"?

Dream on.

What's with Thailand's  AZ factory ?   Supposed to be able to make 10 million shots of AZ a month or more.  Could shoot every adult in Bangkok, farang and Thai in 1 month and then roll out to tourist and other areas. No need to sell or complete orders to Phillipppines or other countries till you get a handle on your own problems.

No vaccines (Bangkok snaffled them)

Rampant variants (Bangkok welcome to them)

Economy trashed (Except Bangkok)

Superspreaders on the loose (From Bangkok)

HiSos vaccinated (in Bangkok)

How about a Bangkok Kitty Litter-dig a big moat around it (to improve drainage) and pull up the drawbridge!

The curfew is at night, not during the day.

A more likely scenario: impose same restrictions as in Bangkok and add some more (fencing off the beach, no sitting outside bla bla). Same depressive view like last year.
