Did they just chat with the cops at the checkpoint, throw a 1,000 baht note in the hand? Did the get a letter of travel from somebody? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the check points are totally useless! Have you come across any....? I don't do long rod trips now but few short ones into town, I have not had a check point to contend with (use Railway Line Bypass). Many people post of heading towards Bangkok without encountering any too. I have no doubt many escape Bangkok for weekends as you claim. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the canard that you contract Covid from surfaces is so well programmed now in the mass consciousness of the general public that it will probably never change regardless of the evidence. "Quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) studies have been conducted to understand and characterize the relative risk of SARS-CoV-2 fomite transmission and evaluate the need for and effectiveness of prevention measures to reduce risk. Findings of these studies suggest that the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection via the fomite transmission route is low, and generally less than 1 in 10,000, which means that each contact with a contaminated surface has less than a 1 in 10,000 chance of causing an infection."

Reynold, “Modeling COVID-19 infection risks for a single hand-to-fomite scenario and potential risk reductions offered by surface disinfection,” American Journal of Infection Control, vol. Article In Press, pp. 1-3, 2020. A. P. Harvey, E. R. Fuhrmeister, M. E. Cantrell, A. K. Pitol, S. J. M, J. E. Powers, M. L. Nadimpalli, T. R. Julian and A. J.

If one picks their nose or bites their fingernails or for whatever reason keeps putting their hands in their mouths, than surely that increases chances of getting infected more than just passively sitting on or touching surfaces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there is something that concerns me considering I've had it once as has my stepson. But I won't get vaccinated for that either. I read the vaccine studies and research and I'm not impressed. Dengue gives me pause for concern. Covid? None at all. Each to their own. I didn't know that there was a vaccine for dengue, so I looked it up and there is, but supposed to be only for those had dengue before. I had 3 strains of dengue over the years. Not much fun at the time, but if corona isn't any worse that that I'm not worried about catching it.

ronjomtien Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 Checkpoints are set up to restrict mobility in the 13 provinces classified as dark-red zones including Bangkok and Chonburi (Pattaya City), to prevent COVID-19 from spreading to other areas. CCSA Spokesman Dr Thaveesilp Visanuyothin said the checkpoints are being built and more security personnel will man them on all roads linking the 13 provinces with their neighbors from 19 July, to prevent interprovincial travel. Travelers from other provinces into the dark-red zones will also be strictly screened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition, the form to register an inter-provincial journey which is available online and produces a QR code for the trip, doesn't, currently, require a reason for the journey to be given. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual, left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing in Thailandia. When I went to get AZ last week in Bangkok, not one checkpoint. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been to so many doctors for 15 years, just keep your advice medically to yourself before asking what someone is using.

Beach road in Jomtien was fairly empty when I left there for BKK at 5pm Saturday. Normally on a holiday weekend it would be packed. So where were they? And there was very little traffic heading from Bangkok on the motorway. There was clearly more traffic going towards Bangkok. Traffic heading for BKK is those of us told by the hospitals here to go to BKK for vaccine ???????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
