Targeted were Silom, Nana, Klong Toei, Khao San Road, Phra Nakhon, Thong Lo, Wattana district (upper Sukhumvit), Yaowarat Road and Samphanthawong. The media said that teams were checking that Covid-19 rules were being followed and were particularly looking out for travellers from so-called high risk countries from Africa. Nationals of 8 nations in Africa were recently required to quarantine on arrival. This all comes after the first case of Omicron was found in a US national. Since then there have been two more cases of Thais arriving from Nigeria. The US man stayed in a hotel in the Bang Rak area of Bangkok and two hotels there were the subject of contact tracing and recommendations for deep cleaning and further screening. Entertainment places and restaurants serving alcohol were checked in particular. Meanwhile the media also reported along with a number of phone numbers that free ATK tests were being maede available in the Thai capital.

swm59nj Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Is anyone checking on the locals too? It should not be one sided. But to be honest. When walking and riding in grab car. I do see a lot of foreigners not wearing masks in numerous locations. The majority of Thais are wearing masks. But if there is a sweep to check. It should be for everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bangkok Barry Posted December 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) There can't be many countries around the world where the military is moblised to check on foreigners. All part of the Thai experience. And an extension of the long-running farce of, in pre-Covid days, police descending on tourist areas such as Soi Cowboy to close down the bars at midnight for no reason at all other than that they can. Still, all good stuff for tourists and other foreigners to report to those back home as a warning of what they might find if they come here, things that TAT forgets to mention in their promotion campaigns.

overt2016 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 'lots of foreign tourists, foreigners doing business and foreigners living.' Is it just me or does the sentence need another word at the end? It just leaves me with the impression that they are not concerned with dead ones........?
