Popular Post JonnyF Posted April 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2022 Laying the seed for blaming the post Songkran spike on tourists and foreigners. Predictable but unfortunately quite effective with the largely xenophobic Thai populace. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BE88 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 But isn't water needed to clean everything including viruses? Since when did the water become polluting? So soon it will be decreed by law that we should take dry showers.???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Nothing like waiting until Songkran is nearly over to issue such an edict. Buffoonish. He could have been mentioning this in the weeks leading up to Songkran, but he obviously chose not to as he is reluctant to deliver bad news. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virt Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Is there a study that shows water splashing can help spread COVID? Wouldn't the potential virus particles be so diluted that they most likely would be harmless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Tom Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 If they could stop this stupid splashing activity on public areas and roads, than this government would get my vote, if I had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not, but it sure spreads massive irritation, especially when these high powered splash guns hit you on a bike. Its an idiotic activity, outside of lakes, pools, sea and rivers. How clean is the water that is often used? I doubt that it is a safe activity health wise. Ban it all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
