Popular Post URMySunshine Posted January 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2020 I would say discretionary spend from idle shopping is on hold for the foreseeable until we see how this pans out. It's boring and tedious at the best of times and now I have a reason to tell the missus to stop ! 9 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The uniform he is wearing in the photo is a civil service uniform, not army uniform. Yes i do agree with you about the diatribe he is spouting. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BobbyL Posted January 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) He is another one in the long line of military bootlickers telling people what to do without any knowledge of his role. The desperation is evident. I don't believe this virus will be as serious as some people have predicted, but I certainly won't be going to any places in Bangkok that have a number of Chinese tourists such as shopping malls for the next few weeks.

Popular Post Cake Monster Posted January 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2020 And to think this Corona Virus started in a Wet Market, in Wuhan, where little or no personal sanitation was in place. Where the Streets are filthy, and there is no will of either the Government or the people to change this way of life. Will it find a home in Thailand ? You bet it will, and for the very same reasons. 18 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
