Anutin: No one said we'd open the country and Bangkok on October 1st

[Parsve]

What he is trying to say is, "Do not ask me, I live in my own bubble".

[apetryxx]

Who is running this railroad anyway? This guy is a loose cannon!

[geisha]

Starts me wondering if the vaccination deals etc have fallen through and they’re not coming ? There would be no reason to postpone opening up sometime October unless there’s been some bad news. Rocketing COVID infections?? Or he’s been told to keep his mouth shut ?

[drenddy]

Totally unexpected

[apetryxx]

This is not a properly functioning government, it’s more like a ship

of fools.

More to the point, does he know.

This reminds me of my EMS days when at a BS inner city trauma call, it usually started with "Well, you see, what had happened was...."

He is playing a clever game, letting others hang themselves a bit at a time,

Yes indeed, an absolute "plonker" who deserves this:-

OMG! Somebody has to take charge and make the correct policy before announcing it. 

 

There are too many little Napoleans making their own policies that were not approved by the higher ups.

 

So there is no more Bangkok or Chiang Mai opening on Oct 1 or 15 then? lol

The answer was the same - don't ask me, I don't know. Ask them

A fine example of a deputy prime minister and health minister with his finger on the pulse.

I think they already  know that they can't  reopen this year.  

It's won't stop them though, we're heading for a train crash... in a land where they often happen.

[drenddy]

Nobody really expected Thailand could stick to a plan.

 

Come on...lets be serious.

 

Monday another fool will be bragging with reopening plans 

[crazykopite]

he should replace that mask with egg yet 

[drenddy]

Imagine this flip flop comes from a military government, where order and discipline should be daily business.

It shows how incompetent Prayuth is, in times of war, Thailand would be already defeated.

There is a meeting at the school tomorrow to discuss the Pfizer vaccination plan for the kids, starting in early October, which will allow the 12+ age group students to return on 18th October. On their LINE group, it is interesting to note that a number of parents have stated that they want their kids to have a Sinopharm jabs, as they are worried about the Pfizer. Presumably, there will not be enough Pfizer to go round and there will be another mix and match later next month.

This guy has to be the most dishonest, incompetent fool in this entire government.

I'm not so sure. But if, it must have been a very very hard fight to reach the top of the rank.

They need to speed up their vaccinations if they intend to fully reopen this year.

 

It's not impossible for them to reach 70% + fully vaccinated this year, but it will require some effort.

 

Anyone know how the anti vax feelings are in to Thailand.

Lots of sceptics or do they just want their shots so the wheels can start turning again?

 

 

 

There are more anti vax sceptics in Thailand than ever, what do you expect when they are mixing vaccines and talking abut vaccinating children with vaccines currently for +15 and +18 year old. With 81% of the population remaining not double vaxxed they should concentrate on these adults first.

Officially he never said that unofficially.  But officially the unofficial version is the unofficial version of the efficient official version, or in the case of this version, versions.  

Thailand's answer to Sir Humphrey Appleby!    (Yes Minister)

or could he aspire to being Donald Rumsfeld?

No matter, economic disaster is a certainty now whatever happens. 

 

My advice would be to get your money in safe havens such as precious metals and crypto, because there will be few places you can shelter from the coming storm.

That's something of an exaggeration don't you think?

I should doubt any markets other than Thailand's will be greatly affected.

Be interesting to see which way the Baht goes though....

 

And Crypto a safe haven? Please!!!

No don’t replace him, he’s my barometer on the Covid situation, when he wears his little doctor suit things are looking up, and when it’s looking bad he has his (not my fault) business suit on, I’m waiting for the day when the stethoscope is around the neck happy days we’re clear
