While all the rhetoric goes on in Bangkok, the people - as usual - completely ignore what is said and explains, why actually very little works in this country. Rules, laws and regulations are written for the sole purpose of being flatly disregarded, bent, broken or ignored! Agree, and this applies to almost everything, not just covid related. Almost nothing that's announced is enforced, it is all just to sound like they know what to do, but then don't do it, or do it for a little while then it peters out, for example plastic bags, now freely available in the majority of outlets. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcohol consumption and being out after 9pm is considered by the government to be the largest spreaders of COVID in Thailand, hence not allowed. They can and have affected the availability of alcohol to the general population, but they are unable to restrict the nights appearance so we must be protected from the night by a curfew (maybe COVID at night comes from vampires, werewolves, etc.). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wensiensheng Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 So disappointing that opening schools doesn’t even rank in the top 5 most important issues in Phuket. instead it’s tourists, tourists, tourists. Meanwhile the sea gypsy village at Rawai has just been locked down as a result of tests carried out on 31st August. Only took 10 days. haphazard doesn’t begin to describe government policy in Phuket. https://thethaiger.com/news/phuket/phuket-meeting-urges-national-government-on-covid-19-changes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post adam1 Posted September 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2021 These guys are always gonna be safety first. Their job is to protect from Covid. However, it is not their job to assess the impacts of lockdowns and all the other measures. It is up to other people in Thailand to speak up to say "hey, we know you guys mean well, but... enough is enough... "... or whatever you wanna say. My point being, is that there is a wider picture, the health of and well-being of a "free" society, and who has got their finger on that pulse? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is planned to minimise the economic damages because few people work at night. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose the unelected PM was in Chaing Mai for a meeting and it was common knowledge, do you not think that there would be any protesters there? I think there would be protesters in any city in Thailand if this unelected PM was there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it could not possible be to stop illegal parties at night with alcohol. I mean a curfew is a really good way to prevent illegal parties and illegal bars opening at night. I know for a fact that a lot friend of my gf who are a lot younger and party animals have a lot less chance to go to those kind of parties or they have to stay overnight and stuff like that. So it does help contain the spread of covid as we all know alcohol is a social lubricant that really destroys all thought of rules and regulations about social distancing. We also know many spreads started in the Thonglor Pub. So yea it makes perfect sense. But just like most people I don't like the curfew at all. But I can't ridicule it because its just the way things work. In my country the police had a hard time finding and breaking up parties. This makes it a lot easier to enforce.

Popular Post Molly Malone Posted September 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2021 And STILL KEEP THE GYMS ARE CLOSED = you phenominal dimwitted MORONS! Healthy people survive COVID, Dear Lord Buddha isn't there something in your teachings which can educated these blind and insane FOOLS?! Gyms are air conditioned, sanitized constantly, the paying customers care about their health = sensible. NOT like your shoulder to shoulder crowded trucks of workers, Khlong ferries, buses, BTS, MTR, shopping mall checkout lines, etc, etc. As much as I LOVE THAIS, and I DO, they are possibly the most impatient race of people on earth, if you drive as I do you will know this is a fact. So don't doubt the closeness of checkout lines etc, etc. GYMS are safer than all the above! Open them up, our heart and vascular systems need exercise to combat COVID and leave all the hospital beds for other people. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymonddiaz Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Where I live in Nonthaburi people don’t really care about the curfew. I can see them dining out, getting drunk and noisy past 21.00 pm from my balcony condo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
