He will be prosecuted for violating Covid-19 laws in Surat Thani and face charges under Article 9 lodged by the Thong Lo police in bangkok, the area from which he fled.

 

Are all these COVID-19 "laws" and "Article 19" fully detailed and explained in the Thailand Test&Go materials?

 

Is prosecution and punishment detailed?

 

 

This fiasco is beyond silly. Let it go, let the individual leave thailand. Stop making such a huge deal about this one, single incident.

 

 

Really have to wonder what this fool's exit plan was. Oh, right, he didn't even think beyond the next 5 minutes like more & more these days ????‍♂️.

Fair enough - not ‘required to get a vaccine certificate and theoretically we could just ‘walk out’...  

 

But thats not the advice, and ‘you can go now’ highlights the miss-communication, what the nurse meant was ‘you can go to the observation area’.... 

(at MedPark hospital paper vaccine certs are issued automatically by the way after the 20 min observation period).

 

In arguing the semantics you have missed the point I was making about miscommunication and how easily it happens. 

 

 

 

 

I am not arguing  semantics. I am stating that you  factually misrepresented  reality and that you assumed your Medway Park experience was the same  as every other vaccination  centre experience.

Did the nurse say you can go home now?

I think not.

At the heart of the matter is just a bit if petty Thai  bashing from a foreigner who doesn't speak Thai criticising a Thai public health worker doing their best and coping with yet another moaning farang. Trying showing gratitude  and understanding.

You can go now..

If he ever comes back to Thailand he would be a world class masochist.

Idiots like him really shouldn't be given a passport. As his government is unlikely to take his passport away, deporting him and banning him from returning is pretty much Thailand's only option. Hopefully he'll learn a lesson for his next trip abroad.

Scapegoats for the pain of the pandemic are useful for Thailand or anywhere. 

The insane are in control in Thailand. Half of them are farangs.

Yes he's, so treat him like the idiot he is, but don't treat an idiot like a criminal...

He is an idiot who committed a criminal act and could have caused other peoples deaths if he had proved positive and spread the infection, as far as he was aware when he did the runner he had tested positive. He deserves to be prosecuted to the full force of the law he intended to break. By your reasoning someone who attempts murder but does not succeed should not be treated as a criminal because they didn't actually kill the person they wanted to murder.
