Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted May 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) 9 hours ago, taxin said: Why ? With the exception of the Moslems in Bangtao who continue to ignore orders to stay at home (and not huddle together in mosques 5 times a day), there has been very little cases in Phuket over the last 14 days. Why the need to quarantine when they have already been locked down in Phuket for the past 2 months ? The strictest and only province in Thailand that recently had a sub district lock down ? Makes no sense. Really?, it does not make sense to you. Think about this then: On the drive they stop somewhere to buy food or go to the restroom during the long a.. ride to Udon from Phuket, and possibly become infected by a asymptomatic carrier, did you think about this possibility?

Popular Post sead Posted May 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2020 So with all the police I start asking myself. Is Phuket a state in Thailand? Why do they need to stop all vehicles. Checkpoint for what reason? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checkpoint for what reason? As an Island there can be access made by many illegals by watercraft, many undesirables that have been deported, also try and enter this way, and the Police checkpoint is at the Sarasin Bridge location where they have always checked vehicles. Many illegal products are also brought into Phuket by boat, and then they try and truck them into Thailand itself.....Just another view on why they have a checkpoint at that location...

Checkpoint for what reason? Actually, they don't. I must have been through there hundreds of times over the years and never stopped once. Usually there are only 2 or 3 police present. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't, its why provinces have set up the 14 day quarantines, because they believe in the possibility of someone becoming infected on the trip through another Area where there are no restrictions......

They let people leave to their home but the home province does not let them in! I have said this many times before,if everything runs well Thailand does great.As soon as something goes wrong no one seems to have a clue. We need a government with both balls and a brain,probably a woman.

Shammy Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 When you look at the complete incompetence, the absolute <deleted> people have to go through for visas, renewals and extensions, its shows the incompetence, ineptitude, lack of organisation, of the entire process.. they planned for 2500 today and 2500 tomorrow.. idiots complete idiots.. I spent 3 months in Myanmar, they have simple visa process, easy renewal, and apply visa extensions for overstays... The Govenor thought 2500 people. 555555555555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No "Flip Flop" on TVF just constant whinging. And justifying so too. A troop of Boy Scouts could do better than this shower. They make more U-turns in a day than all the vehicles in BKK do in a week. This of course is an exaggeration but it gives you the idea of what the Thai people have to put up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was also suggested by many not long ago with the Bangkok mass exodus, they were all proved wrong when the rapid spread of the virus into the northern villages did not happen, despite Bangkok at the time being rife with the virus. if it did not happen then it’s not going to happen this time. Let these jobless people go home to their families where they will have homes, with no rent to pay. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so glad that they have tested all those that died, like my 3 family members at the end of February (Not tested) and were incinerated just outside of Udon Thani, and all those others of millions of tests you believe they have done and proved to the world they have no problem here.....good on you to believe what you do.

Stay safe...(Sarcasm is thick in this post) That was end of February right at the thick of it, a time that had practically zero measures in place. We are into May now and Phuket is starting to relax on what has been some of the strictest lock down measures in the country. I guess the doom sayers out there can’t (and won’t) accept this pandemic will be over soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A true way to tell would be random sampling in each province as that would give the best indication of how widespread the virus is in the population.

To think that people PAY to go there on vacation, yet 40,000 want to leave! If you've been there you will understand why. Another tropical paradise trashed by money-grabbing, uncontrolled mass tourism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much Ado about Nothing. I think we have got past the nonsense claiming how harmless it is, the 250,000 people that have died is a pretty big clue.

piewarmer Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 A man dies from a motorbike injuries and it's recorded as Covid19, that's the standard these days. There is a lot, a real lot of dodgy Covid19 statistics. Lets hope the Tuk Tuk and Jetski mafia go home and never come back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
