So in his mind its all under control, each sub-district can infect only those in that district, one giant orgy will work....what an actual nutcase, who gives these people these top positions. Mr. Baht I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephenterry Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I would suggest it's inevitable that even minor 'out in the street' Songkran activities however muted, will increase the infection rate wherever it occurs. And that's bad news. The governor should be removed from his post forthwith, by order of the PM. If people want to prevent the increasing infection rate, self isolation, lockdown and social distancing is needed - and then, the quicker the coronavirus will pass, and we can all resume our lives.

petedk Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Where is the PM in this? I thought they issued a statement saying that Songkran is cancelled. Can these governors just override his orders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psimbo Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I always self-isolate on Songkran anyway so no biggy. ???? It does seem extremely irresponsible as we know things will go horribly wrong. Hopefully a few more Frerabs will end up in nick. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you really believe they will actually pay attention since the Governor said they can have Songkran.....it doed not matter what the ground rules are, they hear what they want and don't read past the first few words. You have to be able to have Sanook, even if Songkran was not originally as it is now..... Edited April 9, 2020 by ThailandRyan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somtamnication Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 As this governor changes the rules as often as we change our underwear, expect a total lockdown, soon. Going to the super today and stocking up even further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
