Popular Post snoop1130 Posted July 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2021 Image: File photo Thailand’s Department of Rail Transport (DRT) has requested that passengers no longer talk on trains in order to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. As well as wearing face masks and making sure they socially distance, passengers should not talk to one another or on the telephone, the DRT chief Kittiphan Panchan said. Passengers are also required to use hand sanitizer at the start and end of their journey and ‘check in’ using the Thai Chana smartphone app. Rail services which normally operate between 9pm and 4am will also be reduced, Workpoint News reported. The new measures are in line with the restrictions announced by the Thailand's Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) which affect Bangkok, Nakhon Pathom, Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Samut Prakan, Samut Sakhon, Narathiwat, Pattani, Yala and Songkhla. The new measures concerning rail travel will be in place until at least July 25. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-07-13 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 2 3 3 48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have thought so wouldn't you? I expect that the head honcho was so desperate to have his 5 minutes on the telly that it went rather like this: Best tightest uniform pressed - check. Big bouquet of yellow flowers fixed to front of podium - check. Vinyl backdrop up and correctly lit - check. Press and cameras ready to roll - check. OK guys let's do it. Now, what am I going to say? Oh never mind, the first load of intimate spherical male appendages that comes into my head! 8 1 2 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though.... this stuff just makes you shake your head - the minds in of those charge are truly juvenile. Some of the younger folk must be sitting in these meetings thinking ‘this guy (the boss) has truly lost his marbles’ yet is unable to speak up against the utter embarrassing stupidity because of Kraieng-jai !!! 24 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post brewsterbudgen Posted July 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2021 The recorded message played every few minutes on the BTS Skytrain asks passengers to refrain from talking. It's been playing for months. Of course, everyone abides by it! 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimamey Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 When they say don't talk on the telephone I'm assuming they mean public telephones where the virus could spread. They can't mean they think talking on a smartphone will spread it or that they think they'd be able to prevent it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Indian vegetarian I had on Qatar recently was the best I have had on an airplane in economy class. Actual spicy food on a flight, a revelation. Ban talking, less gum flappin', not as much spit flying. Associated benefit is not being assailed with the inane chatter of dullards and young females. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck enforcing that request! I ride the BTS regularly in BKK, and these days, nobody is much talking while riding the train (as per their rules). I'm sure there are exceptions from time to time, but not common at all, in my experience. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
