If the UK variant has made its way into Thailand then the only chance they'll have is to put the whole country into lockdown now. You can't stop this variant by shutting pubs alone. Surely then can see what's happening across the rest of the world? This is seriously serious!!!

No such thing uk variant it was discovered in uk due to all testing but common in ma ny countries

OK for those here who don't understand my point.

Brexit or no Brexit when has the Euro bought more baht than the £.

This is about strong baht currency £ was 37-38 for a long while, now at the moment around 41 why that is I have no idea. 

The reason is the pound was as low as 1.20 to the us dollar now 1.37 so were now getting 37% more than the dollar as regards 20% recently pound expecred to reach 1.40 to the dollar by end of feb which will put pound to 42 baht.

 Baht very strong against dollar thai banks full of foreign money seen as a safe haven Govt not printing it like europe and US

  Also thailand cant just devalue Trump for example threatning trade sanctions against countries for manipulating currencies Thailand was one on his watchlist .

  Personally i think Thais would like the dollar around 1.33-1.34 this would help there exports

[Brits in Thailand wanting to return to UK should go NOW - expats urged to register with Embassy]

I travelled back UK ĺast week to uk n changed my flight i was on tourist visa.

To be honest i think the cost of my flight was irrelevant. 

 There were no checks in Suveranahpoum jyst got a sticker placed on my arm i suppose to say id been checked. Basically anyone with symtoms tempreture could of been on that flight same scenario at

Dubai.

Personally think had more chances of catching it coming home than i did in a village in Sissaket in 3 months.

 i came home worried because im a diabetic if i was healthy i would of stayed .

However the health service in the uk is over run and unfortunatly the elderly and people with underlying conditions will be at the back off the cue if treatment is needed.

  as my village has been taking this corons serious i now wish i stayed put because the best way to survive this is not catching it in the first place.

 Theres no right or wrong decision to make whether stay or go but dont think the grass is greener in the uk

Ps

 If i was German id go home due to the way there tackling Corona
