Come to Pattaya on holiday and rent a motorbike. 60 traffic fatalities a day, 80% of those motorcycles, plus another couple hundred hospitalized from vehicular accidents per day. Cancel a trip to Thailand because CoVid 19 has infected 34 people out of 39 million and no fatalities Lol. Damn right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vietnam loves us more bandwagon just before they announced the very shocking we love you less visa changes? Vietnam screwed themselves just before Corona and I know 3 friends heading back to Thailand in the coming months Long-term expats (retirees, long stay tourists) again overestimate the worth that they are providing to the economy. Do not conflate this with your average tourist. Tourists tend to pump money into an economy over a short term and that is the vast majority of the income a country gets from anything designated tourist income. These tourists are not affected and don't give a <deleted> at the perceived slights of a few self-entitled foreigners. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree. South Korea has issued a travel advisory and I am sure the list will begin to grow exponentially within the next 2 weeks.

sydneyjed Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Amazingly Indonesia has steadfastly reported that it has had no cases of the Coronavirus hence so far?If so what is their secret to this remarkable clean health record?Just another pointer I've seen this morning on a travel segment discussion..if any government issues a travel warning not to go to a particular country/region on their web sites you are then NOT covered by your travel health insurance..you are on your own!

Popular Post Sonhia Posted February 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2020 Just goes to show how fragile Thailand really is and how Thai should welcome all tourists from all nationalities in the same way instead of telling FARANG to <deleted> OFF whilst sucking up to China. I have no pitty. Thai make it very clear FARANG like me that has helped to support Thai for many years are not wanted, so be it.. UP TO THEM. There are many many other places to visit, not just Thailand! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would have been going in June and we figured that corona virus would be there by then. Also, the Indonesian Government is is not averse to hiding the truth when it comes to possibly reducing their tourism income. In 2016, 1.25 million Australians visited Bali. That's thousands per day returning. So maybe I'm wasting my time avoiding infection. Might just be best to get it and either cark it or recover. lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I know is that once an infectious disease with no symptoms for up to 10 days has been allowed to escape worldwide, only a good immune system is going to stop us dying if we get it. In the military we had a saying "<deleted> happens and then we die". Still true today. BTW, anyone thinking a paper mask and hand sanitiser is going to stop them getting it should look at what the health workers wear- that's what you'd need to be safe. I have no intention of doing anything differently, as it won't save me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to see this country suffer an economic collapse so that it can rebuild itself into a better one at a slower pace. I really do feel for the local business owners but the way the country has operated in the last 20 years it is just not sustainable. The Baht is not over valued, Its foreign currencies that has lost its value.Thailand is not going to lower the value of the Baht to counteract bad economic policies of these country. I suggest you complain to the government of your country. Just Look how much money the UK, EU put into the Banking, Building Society's to prevent them from going bankrupt. Thailand leant from the 1989 Asian economic collapse of which T/Land was the instigator which ment them going to the IMF, that has all been repaid.
