Bizarre remark, Thai prisons are not known for violence inside, besides which, maybe it would be the "Arabs and Iranians" who get the hard time!

A jew in a Thai Prison will get a hard time from the Iranians and Arabs The immigration lock up is run by iranians who are known to give Americans a hard time.

They test themselves and then lie low. It really is that simple. The problem is they don't self quarantine properly and start to go about their business when major symptons start to wane. This is common behavior unfortunately. What don't you understand?

Don't know how you would know that, or how many, but agree, that's a bit rude and inconsiderate.

 

Though all you vax'd and masked up folks shouldn't have anything to worry about....right ?

What gem?  The fact that most foreigners don't submit to 10 day quarantine in field hospitals? It'd a fact. They don't bother.

This one...

"Most expats who catch covid do not cooperate with the Thai authorities because they believe they are superior to Thais".

 

I'd bet that you cannot justify that assertion with anything empirical.

You've stayed in a Thai prison, have you?   If he is convicted he wont be going to IDC, he'll go to a prison.

Doesn't matter, he won't be required to finance the search for him, that's not how police forces work.    You can't really think that every criminal get's billed for the police's time, surely?

Don't be silly. Do you want empirical evidence that my neighbor crashed his motorcycle? Sorry. I no such evidence. But it happened. If you don't want to believe it that is your problem not mine. Let's be clear Most people with covid do not submit to 10 day quarantine field hospitals. That's all I'm saying. you feel free to believe otherwise based on your personal experience or empirical evidence..

Apart from the associated medical treatment, costs for what?

OK so the is issue revolves around the word 'mass' so I will restate. Most foreigners do not submit to quarantine when they have tested positive until extreme sickness forces them to seek medical attention.

Much better, and I also wouldn't 'volunteer' for quarantine, but would self isolate at home.  Seems way too practical, as no need to pay to sit in a hospital if not needing treatment.  That's just silly and why would anyone ?  Just makes more people available to be in contact with you, and infecting others, possibly high risk folks.  They are at the hospital to begin with.

The volunteer 'screws' at that particular immigration prison tend to be there for a long time as the have valid appeals not to be returned to Iran. Often they have no money to return nor do they want to. They have established a position of dominance and influence in the system. This 'trustee' system is common in many prisons. I forgive your naivety but your ignorance is unacceptable.

What is confusing about my comment?

Nothing is "confusing" about it but, apart from the first sentence, it's just plain wrong.  Thai prisons are not known as hotbeds of religious violence in general and you've produced nothing to justify your "non-cooperative foreigners" theory

No, not interested in your neighbours motorbike accident. that's not the discussion.   There is no compulsion for foreigners who find themselves infected with Covid to "submit themselves" to any hospital or 10-day enforced quarantine.

No just those who deliberately flaunt health regulations, cause infections, cost public and police money, sick folk not working. Make this one pay, I say.

The courts could impound/confiscate his assets if allowed.

The Israeli in question, if convicted and sentenced to jail time, will not be going to "immigration prison", he will go to a normal prison as all convicted criminals do.

They could, if they were allowed to, but they're not.

It's possible he spread the disease, but unknown.

As anyone who is fully vaccinated with the magic juice can do the same should they be given hard punishment too?

 

Who are the expat you know with covid who think like that?

Maybe he felt enough is enough after being fully vaccinated to travel here and now he is infected. But they don't say is it was Omicron or a different variant. Omicron is spreading so fast and there is no stopping it. So this is a catch 22 situation, more and more tourist will have Omicron.

Lock him up in isolation for a year then punted out of the country.
