The general idea is to "stay home", I doubt that anyone would say anything if you stayed withing the grounds of your "home". That is to stay not out and about wandering the streets etc away from home How very Christian of them. Bad writing and bad reporting do not convey facts to the reader. The way the original article is written, all of the questions I posed above are warranted. This is why I asked if anyone had the original text.

Thats as may be, but please bare in mind news outlets do sensationalise things and people sometimes take things too literally. A little reasonable common sense usually prevails and things are not quite as they may first seem (or read).(IMHO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want me to use common-sense on a translation of someone's interpretation of a yet seen written law? I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe common sense is not that common to you? “More checkpoints will be set up nationwide in collaboration with the Interior Ministry and more police officers will be put on patrol,” Piya said. Unless you have a police check point set up in the elevator or at the parking lot, I presume you had some other intentions with your comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Really? Stepping out of your front door onto your property is now a crime at 10:01 PM? Opening my condo door and walking the trash to the trash room is now a crime after 10PM? How about taking the elevator to the ground floor and standing in the parking lot of my condo after 10PM? Walking for exercise at 11PM on my condo grounds is also a crime after 10PM? Who has the text of this new decree? I see every sentence ended with a question mark. That signifies that what preceded the question mark was a question. Where is the comment?

For anyone who has trouble reading English, I post this again. Stepping out of one's home, means the door to the outside. It's not well written. Where is the original?

Sorry NO it doesnt, if I step out my door, I have over 100 metrs before I leave "my home" ie, the gate to the outside. So, out of your home, means off the property, atleast to any reasonable person. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen the Decree in Thai? "to any reasonable person." You assume the writer of the article and even the new Decree, is reasonable. I do not.

steven100 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 It really amazes me how stupid some folks are, they want to test the border line and have to question ... what if i do this , and what if i do that and i'm not breaking any laws and ... bla bla bla. For god sake .... use common sense if you have any and just manage it without being a deekhead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
