Thailand on Sunday (Nov 21) reported 7,006 new COVID-19 cases, 7,591 recoveries and 29 deaths.

 

Sunday's cases bring the total number of COVID-19 cases in Thailand since the start of the pandemic to 2,064,581 and 2,035,718 since April 1, the start of the so-called third wave.

 

Thailand's death toll stands at 20,387 since the start of the pandemic and 20,293 since April 1.

 

Due to the continuing decline of COVID-19 cases in Thailand in recent months, officials on Friday said they will consider a proposal to reopen bars, pubs and other nighttime venues earlier than planned.

 

Previously, Thailand's CCSA had said it would be January 16 before bars and clubs would be able to open. 

 

However, on Friday the secretary general of the National Security Council Supot Malaniyom said that a proposal will be considered next week that could see bars given the green light to open earlier than scheduled - although an actual date for reopening has not yet been announced.

 

Meanwhile, the declining number of new cases has coincided with Thailand's vaccination rollout which after getting off to a slow start, has been rapid in recent months.

 

On Friday the Health Ministry revealed that 65% of people in Thailand had now received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, while 53% have received two doses.

29 deaths is very low. Those in ICU have reduced by 196 in a week down from 1,808, intubated down by 37 in a week from 425 and today's death toll is down by 18 compared to 55 a week ago. Yesterday 53 deaths today 29. This is indeed a very sharp fall compared to the reduction in ICU and intubated figures.

These are not weekend numbers.

Looks to me like a plateau has been reached and a small change in trend since the 16th, need to note that as its not something particularly welcome.

A dozen pretty girls. No grog... seems pretty good behaviour to me! 

I avoided posting pic showing alcohol. Think there is rule about that.

Trust me readily available and NO paper cups required. 

MANY Thai on Koh Samet for weekend. 

Strange that alcohol sales in Rayong (eg 7/11) stops at 2pm. Not open again at 5pm.

Stupid really.

I can tell you we got to Icon Siam at 5pm on Friday. took 1 hour and 30 minutes by taxi to go 5.5 km, I refused to drive and the GF agreed.  We reserved seats at Hobbs and outside at the railing where we could see down below and away from the large crowds that started to roll in by 7 pm, and by 8:30 pm the entire outside area was packed shoulder to shoulder.  The boats on the river were also packed, especially when the fireworks started.  To say it was busy is an understatement, it reminded me of New Years 2019.  Lets hope it does not turn out to be a super spreader event.  Not sure what the other locations were like, just glad I reserved a table.  

 

Yesterday we drove up to Saraburi to see the Sunflower field.  Highway 2 was packed and it took almost 3 hours from Bangkok to get there.  The location we went to luckily had no more than 20 people, and of course they were not wearingtheir masks as they took selfies amongst the sunflowers.

 

Today the GF's 2 female cousins have arrived at the condo to visit and want to go to Central World to see the Christmas display.  @brewsterbudgen how busy has Central World been in the evenings.

On more serious note. Samet very popular with Thai now. After this to Pattaya for fireworks and then Bang Saen. Pretty much all Thai.

I've usually left work by 4pm, so I don't know how busy it is in the evenings. The "restaurants" at Zoom are usually busy, I think, but looking at the lights should be OK.

Moken communities under lockdown after 15 test positive for COVID-19

 

The provincial communicable disease committee of the southern coastal province of Phang-nga has temporarily but completely locked down the Moken (Morgan) indigenous communities on the Surin islands in the Andaman Sea after 15 people tested positive for COVID-19.

 

The infections were found during the pro-active screening of about 310 people considered to be at high risk by health officials from Khura Buri district.

 

The communicable disease committee ordered the Moken communities to be placed under lockdown and all residents to remain in home isolation for 14 days, with local officials deployed to control access into and out of the communities.

Watch the figures miraculously jump to about million plus a day from 6-700k as it has been recently. The great one has spoken so it must be achieved.
