emptypockets Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) The wife has been reporting my temperature everyday to the health as per their request. My 14 days is finished tomorrow. Kamnan just finished a speech over the village speaker system saying that people are returning from Bangkok and the need for social distancing etc etc and that people can see the local 'nurse' daily to get their temps taken. The MIL has just locked herself on her house. Edited March 22, 2020 by emptypockets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like people in issan are especially educated or worldly. Why wouldn't you expect a bit of bigotry about in times like these? I think everyone is entitled to their own positions and prejudices. I've never called anyone out for being a racist. People always tend to travel with their own herd. Usually it's not racism anyway. It's prejudice, bigotry, jingoism but the wokester virtue signallers to ignorant of that cry *racism* BOO. If it really bothers you as it seems to I'd recommend packing it up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just doesn't make sense.....riding motorbikes without helmets / wearing masks when not sick. Whats going on? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychology 101, in times of crisis people need and expect strong leadership, the Thai "government" is showing its true mettle, which anyone and everyone knew off anyway, though some have forgotten and have actual high expectations of the clowns performing.

Snackbar Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Was at the tax office this morning, all wearing face masks. Saw one admin staff remove his mask to pick his nose. Not sure where they’re getting their health advice but it does correlate with a collective culture. Going to get very weird here in the coming weeks. Stay at home, stay safe and well.
