Pedrogaz Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I'd like to know exactly how many people have been infected by talking on trains? If not talk on trains, why can you talk on flights, buses, drives etc etc? The country is going backwards....not too long before we hit the buffers.

jaiyen Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Seeing that most Thai people talk at about 95 decibels that would be a great if they didn't talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bim Smith Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Good luck enforcing that. Most Thai people I know never stop talking. Even alone on a motorcycle. Draconian and insane rule to say the least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnarth Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 when I first came here I used to think please do not ask that woman a question, the loud voice and non stop talking used to hurt my ears but I used to women talking that way now, I can completely ignore it now until someone says what she talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyFalang Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Does this mean that trains are still running as of today? I need to get to down south to Surat Thani and there are no flights that fits my schedule. Does anyone know? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thongplay Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 MADNESS!! "Rail services which normally operate between 9pm and 4am will also be reduced," This will just vastly REDUCE social distancing and crown people closer together. What is the reasoning here?

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. I thought wearing of masks was compulsory? They at least limit some of the droplet spray. I wonder how often though people change those silly disposable masks, which are generally saturated with moisture after a fairly short length of time.

You must live in the same crazy universe as the clowns who came up with that nonsense. No talking on trains, so a persons phone rings, they going to answer it or not? Answer it obviously, conductor comes round to check tickets, he is going to do it silently? No way. This is yet another stupid knee jerk reaction, that has failed before it has even started. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are exceptions from time to time, but not common at all, in my experience. I never talked before, why should I start now ??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Are there public telephones on trains ?

Stubby Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 16 hours ago, sungod said: People no longer talk to each other anyway, just locked to the screen of their phones. Very true, SunGod. Verbal socialization skills have gone right out the window. IT'S NOT ONLY A YOUTH THING, EITHER The biggest surprise of all is how so many older people have chosen the virtual world over the real one. Seriously, you can't sit with a coffin dodger for more than 30 seconds before their heads are buried into the tiny screen of a smartphone. THE NEW ENGLISH As for the UK, well… all you have to do now to become fluent in English is master these three things: One: Start every single sentence with the word SO… Two: Say the word ABSOLUTELY every second sentence. Three: Lastly—and by far the most challenging in the new world of non-communication—is to uttering the 7-word phrase: "At the end of the day…" no matter what you're half-talking about. Give it another 5 years, and the whole world will be communicating by sign language ON FACE TIME. Maybe it will be the lack of mouth movement and shallow breathing that sees the real end to COVID and other respiratory viruses. Stubby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
