Popular Post URMySunshine Posted January 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) We are cutting our 3 month stay to 2 and leaving next week. Virus was the final straw but smoke , boredom and expense were in the mix before. Any farangs hanging on they will no doubt be begging you to stay in the next few weeks. Hopefully with a wai and an apology from Prayuth himself. And in English. A certain Pi Yai won't be coming back for a while either no doubt. Thaksin and Yingluck are well out of it.

The beach resort is a family friendly place, right on the coast of the Red Sea, resort is made up of single chalet type villas, built in restaurants, bars & buffets are within the facility, breakfast, lunch dinner are inclusive of your package price, all you pay for are drinks, pick-up drop-off from the airport is free from the resort. The facility has full time play areas for children, creches for kids, swimming pools for all ages [all with supervision at all times]. Easy 5 minutes walk to the beach front [no charge for loungers etc] no hawkers or vendors to spoil your day. Water is clean, air is breathable, everything is kept spotlessly clean.... How does that sound... Yes they do have occasional trouble with terrorists, as seen in the past but not in this location...

Elkski Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 So blatantly obvious from his talk if I didnt miss many words that the main concern was tourist money. And all these positive forecasts of tourist numbers and dollars. Not much concern about the health of Thais . I think they better start talking about possible negative tourist numbers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy John Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 1 hour ago, nobodysfriend said: Well , I read somewhere today that the market in Wuhan that is in the center of the Virus outbreak , offered enough live animals to fill a zoo , including civets, rats, snakes, giant salamanders and live wolf pups. It is what they call the ' bushmeat trade ' plus broader human encroachment on wild habitats , that caused this virus to spread over to humans . Even in China , that ' bushmeat trade ' is illegal . But they still do it ... That seems to be a lesson taught to humans by nature ... hope they learn from it ...? It is a lesson for the Chinese to learn but being as friendly as they are their letting their Western friends in on it too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy John Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I just had a terrifying thought! What if this has been engineered by the UN!!! They do have a strategy for population reduction.

Cake Monster Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Thailand made a conscious decision to go flat out, and nurture the Chinese Tourist market for the potentially lucrative money that would flow into the coffers of the Country and a few rich Business people. Well, they have been very successful in that endeavour, but along with the Yuan came the potential risk for mass infections from Disease, as China is a Country where Hygiene and Sanitation are not a given thing, even in the Tier 1 cities. China has shown its potential for these Viral Outbreaks on more than one occasion ( SARS 2003 ) Etc Etc Etc. Well, I guess its time to " Suck it up " and deal with the aftermath of decisions that were made years ago, and to carry on courting the Chinese Yuan will only bring more Disease and Viral Infections to the Borders of Thailand. Of that fact you can be 200% sure, as the Chinese will not change their unhealthy living style, and will thus create even more of these Infections to deal with. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JHolmesJr Posted January 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2020 It's very sad to see country after country cave to the so-called consumer masses of china and India....just because it opens larger markets for their products. How about showing some decency and doing the right thing. The correct thing to do is politely tell China to keep their citizens in China until things get sorted out. Let them holiday in China for a change....the place is MASSIVE. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
