[Govt considers reopening Maya Bay to tourists next year]

As long as tour groups (read: Chinese) are banned and there's an enforced maximum number of visitors, perhaps 100/d.

 

Otherwise, keep it closed.

It seems that xhamster and other porn sites that often display the dame clips as Porn Hub have not been targeted. Hmm. I wonder what the real reason for going after Porn Hub was.

Twitter will tell you.

[Pornhub blocked in Thailand due to Computer Crime law, reports Thai media]

Perhaps it's time to revisit the rules for making home porn.

 

1. Don't make home porn

2. If you make home porn, delete it

3. If you don't delete it, under no circumstance share it

4. Since you shared it anyway, don't close PornHub when it's released.

 

I guess the message never reached the top.

He said the new consular office might be a reason why China has not appointed an ambassador to Thailand for some time. 

CCP doesn't need diplomacy with Thailand. They can just buy it.

That's a very good idea. Given the prices of solar panels are plummeting, it's a bit surprising how little of it is in use in Thailand, especially since there's a lot of sun.

[Five Thais and five foreigners test positive for Covid-19]

Just picked up a tidbit of information.  The approximate cost for someone who is Asymptomatic and never needing true treatment after 14 days is between 200,000 Baht and 300,000 Baht.  I was given this information from my insurance agent when I questioned him as to whether they would pay if I test positive and placed in isolation for being Asymptomatic.  He indicated the costs are what they are and dependent upon the charges for the nursing staff, PPE equipment and then the room and meals.  Yes they will still be isolating an Asymptomatic person in the hospital based upon it being a money maker.  In the US unless you have symptoms they are sending you back home to self isolate as they have no reason to put you in a hospital if you do not need treatment, and a nurse will come by and test you near the end of the 14 day home isolation to ensure you have cleared with a negative test. 

Nifty little money maker.

[Five Thais and five foreigners test positive for Covid-19]

133 in hospital, the capacity of the dedicated wards is what, a few hundred? Means they can't ease up if they still intend to hospitalize every asymptomatic case. Something's gotta give.

With a brain hemorrage getting somebody sedated might be the last time there's any sign of life. It's a situation that requires speed, not sure why there weren't adequate restraints on the scan table.

No worries, they'll figure out new red tape to more than offset any loss. Thais love bureaucracy and building defences againt the evil foreigners.

[OPINION: When hoteliers emerge from 2020, the business will be hard]

Usurpers are comfortable destroying the tourism industry. I see no reason why they wouldn't continue on the same path after covid is gone. After all, their best buddies in CCP will line their pockets handsomely for selling the country and tourists are just a nasty crowd of onlookers. Big deals are best done out of sight.
