Can I travel from Bangkok to Southern Thailand immediately after completing a 15-day quarantine?

@Paul *********

and I'm saying without the restrictions in Thailand maybe be we would have seen similar here but you are taking the piss and calling them drama queens for their precautions.

@Colin *******

no you are the one saying that. Thailands fatalities are incredibly low however that has been managed. I suspect Thailand is being more cautious with its coding of fatalities snd not accounting all comorbidities etc etc as does the USA.

The “drama” I refer to is about cases. Ie media posting pictures of prawns insinuating the entire prawn industry is infected because one stall worker in a seafood market tests positive. Do we do that for every other case— point at their place of work and say “the vegetables are infected or that meat is infected.

Wet markets of all kinds are open across Thailand I would put money on the fact that if their stall holders were all tested many more cases would be found.

Further the focus on cases in the absence of hard fact fatalities is baseless.

Only 1.5m largely volunteering Thais have been tested - meaning 68.5m have not been.

So how can we ever say Thailand has X number of cases. There have been and will

Be thousands more because only 2,1% of the population have been tested and even those tested could catch it again the minute they walk out of the clinic.

More you test more you will find - absolutely !

What matters are the hard fact fatalities 60.

very true Thais don’t listen to farang I there country that’s to point I was trying to make after being with my Thai wife for 19 years I came to understand in Thailand it’s there way or the airport

@Andrew ****

Not true. As I pointed out, Thais are constantly doing what foreigners tell them to...but usually there must be a sweetener (bribe) first.

@Paul ******

sorry mate I totally disagree Thai people are very proud and hate being told what to do in there own country about there country look at the baht monetary policy

@Andrew ****

I think the “policy” is driven by a need to take substantial amounts of baht out of the country over recent months — certainly not doing exports - foreign investment or whatever is left of tourism any good — basically means 10% added to the ASQ rates and the rest of the trip

@Andrew ****

in fairness I think we would be the same if a group of Thais complained about our home country — I’ve learnt to enjoy the good bits and dun try to understand Thailand too much — we never will .

We stay here because the good parts must outweigh the bad and or where we came from

@Paul *********

And yet the Thai government listened to foreign psychopaths when they took their money to destroy their own economy! The WHO, IMF, WEF all headed by foreigners.

@Paul ******

so do- did many other countries and list China in that as well

@Paul *********

Yes every country did. China was of course the first one to do so.

@Benjamin *****

Someone who had travelled down from Chiang Mai. I will find link now

@Benj****

apparently a woman that was working in Chiang Mai returned to Autthaya and tested positive

Edward Nathan Some might. LOL. Anyway, I guess you're being sarcastic, but seriously, the last thing I would advocate is for people to call out others like that. There's enough authoritarianism in Thailand at the moment already. We don't need more, and especially not from fellow citizens. Thais fortunately rarely confront people...the only place they have the courage is anonymously online.

@Mar***

They can ask whatever they want.

@Garrett **********

Feel the same way, open the door and let me out !

@Edward *******

fuck off you cunt

@Brian ********

You would enjoy that, probably from Australia. We know they have no sense of humor. All their lives they been on this island in the middle of nowhere and can’t seem to get anybody to take them seriously. Like they’re yelling all the time, “hey, I know we were once a bunch of convicts but we’re really trying hard to be good. Please, we”ll do better, I promise. We’ve almost got this sobriety problem licked. We did get guns banned, but of course it was only after we had the world’s biggest massacre in recent years.” Of course, we still have this little problem of not having a sense of humor

@Richard ******

I imagine they won't. I didn't even know Nan HAD an airport

@Benjamin *****

yup! ✈️

Paul James They (should) expand the lockdown throughout the entire Bangkok region because Samut Sakhon is part of the Bangkok greater metro region. It's easy to catch a Bangkok City bus in Samut Sakhon,or to take the BTS.

@Benjamin *****

No they shouldn't. You're pandering to authority. And no, there is NO BTS that goes to Samut Sakhon. Check a map.

@Paul ******

I got my Samut's confused :\ But there *IS* a train station that goes from Samut Sakhon to Wong Wen Yai. And the Bangkok bus system does run in the region
