rooster59 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 ‘Little ghost’ gets Chiang Mai spooked By The Nation A “little ghost” has apologised after causing alarm in Chiang Mai by posting on social media photos of herself drinking in a pub – almost as soon as she returned home from her illegal job in South Korea. The woman, who has not been named, has met with health authorities after being prodded by the police and has been cleared of Covid-19 viral infection. The photos posted online on Thursday (March 5) had the caption “Let’s kill coronavirus” – presumably with an alcoholic drink. She said she just got home from Incheon, South Korea, and was ignoring the authorities’ request to spend 14 days at home in self-quarantine. The post was widely shared and triggered fear and outrage. As an illegal labourer overseas, she’s referred to in Thailand as phi noi – a “little ghost” Dr Chatuchai Maneerat of the Chiang Mai Public Health Department said police got in touch with the woman and determined she’d actually returned from Anyang in the province of Gyeonggi on Wednesday. She reported to the health office at noon on Friday, showing no fever or other symptoms. She agreed to abide by the 14-day self-quarantine directive and apologised to the public for her “ignorance”.

Bundooman Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 "The woman, who has not been named, has met with health authorities after being prodded by the police and has been cleared of Covid-19 viral infection". I saw an earlier picture of this girl. I thought that under her mask, she would probably be quite attractive, So my question is this, Do you think that, "being prodded by police" means the same as "poking in Woking?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirineou Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 My wife's friend just came back from a three year contract in Taiwan, he went visiting the relatives immediately and going out to restaurants. Let's hope what the say about the heat killing the virus or preventing it from spreading is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that I personally know of one, I am sure there are many many others. Do you honestly think people that have not seen their family for years will self quarantine for 14 days?

This lady may well work in the entertainment business, but not all Thais in Korea are on the game, my sister in law is working in agriculture, getting decent money compared to Thailand, but constantly looking over her shoulder and occasionally moving farms over night as the police are getting wise to them. I don't doubt her line of work as she and her husband regularly post updates on Facebook and unless the Koreans have a thing for ladies dressed like rural Thai rice farmers, complete with oversized hat and face scarf to stop the sun, I reckon she's behaving herself.

I'm sure she was frequently probed in S.Korea, and paid handsomely for the experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing stopping Thailand having lots of confirmed cases is the lack of confirmed testing. Does anyone here know of anybody being tested??

If that is the case, then why are they not having more deaths? Or perhaps are they under reporting or misdiagnosing the cause of deaths? If so is there a a spike in the number of deaths per thousand in Thailand? Personally I don't know the answer to these questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
