Thailand bans talking on trains as precaution against COVID-19

[edwinchester]

Thailand bans exhaling in train journeys of less than 1 hour.

[Thailand]

No opening car windows whilst stationary is another option.

[smedly]

just ban breathing - covid wiped out

[ChipButty]

Should ban talking in restaurants

Please mind your trap between train and platform 

[Tarteso]

I've seen old people talking to themselves out loud ... hard to ban them

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.

Several of the Department of Rail Transport members voted for a much tougher measure no breathing on train but they opted to try the less restrictive measure first.

the same way they enforce other rules, e.g. traffic laws.. ????

I agree with the restriction. Most people just don't know how virus and bacteria spread. It's through your mouth and the nose via mucus or droplets.

 

I even see some dumb people smoking ciggy inside indoor restaurants and the virus spread faster through the smoke.

They can come and enforce that rule in my house any day, maybe then I can watch sport in peace.

Ha ha well spotted  but I think this could be a new variant   of train virus only spread via talking.

Steam powered Choo Choo Wuflu's so yesterday our Tcheow Chao masters are bringing Hi Speed Delta belter once all envelopes "properly" filled. Off to see my steamboat dreamboat who polishes old buffers and oils couplings in the sidings sometimes.

 

Remember real VIPs are on buses saw that Monik Ablueklintsky and Redballboy only the other day on a 999

Hand signing it is then .....

regards worgeordie

I’m sure the one finger hand sign will be used when someone tries to enforce it.

Won't be long before anyone is not allowed to speak to each other at home

When the GF is watching her Korean Lakorns...might as well be speaking to the wall anyway...

It’s only an advisory, but if you choose to talk, you may be asked by the authorities to state what you were talking about.

It's just sensible advice, not a law!

That's why I tell my lovely mia that life is like a train ride ...

You get in somewhere to go somewhere and you have to get out somewhere ... in the meantime better don't talk too much ...

[TheFishman1]

Why don’t they just roll out the vaccine for every person living in Thailand oh I forgot they didn’t order enough TIT

[bluemoon58]

Did anyone tell the DRT that April Fools Day was over 3 months ago...!!!

[logres212]

99% of people are on their phones anyway 

[inThailand]

Why don't they ban the government from talking or at least ban putting their foot in their mouth daily?

[Benmart]

These uniformed nobs do more damage to the image of this country. Pathetic and comedic.

Someone in a uniform will come along and shout at you !

[cardinalblue]

What about expediting shots in arms faster vs talking 

 

how about no flying or riding on public transportation unless fully vaccinated? That will <deleted> off the mafias

Surely some kind of joke banning talking on trains, crazy or what.

I think this is a good idea as it will cut down the smell of garlic on the trains. Should do the buses as well.

Talking should also be banned on airplanes.

Talking should be banned in general. But more importantly thinking should be considered a crime!!!
