Yes but what can you do. Cambodia have it clocked..  Trading well open. They even take blood to do COVID test. It seems Thais are just lazy or don't like money lol.

There is no reason whatsoever, to extend this beyond June 1st. They are probably paranoid about the nightlife re-opening. I think the fake puritans in the administration, likely do not want the night life to reopen, as it offends their purist nature. Perhaps they are hoping to drive the remaining bars, clubs and go-go's out of business? They seem to be succeeding. 

They want casino in Pattaya. There starving everyone out

The rot set in a long time ago. 

 

Now a sad tribute act to a bygone era.

 

Might be time to put it out to pasture.

There is no such thing as Covid-19 it's just a strain of seasonal flu as shown by all of the independent doctors and virologists speaking out over the last month.

 

The figures point to it being even less dangerous than common flu with less deaths than a common seasonal flu around the world.

We have all been fooled folks, it's not a complete hoax but it sure has been blown waaaay out of proportion - ask yourself, are we going to do this again when next year's seasonal flu comes around ?? Are people really that stupid ? Use your grey cells.

 

Wonder what this is really all about - anyone have any ideas?

Here are some interesting statistics to analyse:

 

WHO's official worldwide confirmed deaths from covid-19 ......... 343,562 as at 26th May 2020:

 

https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019

 

A news report comparing covid-19 with other diseases, albeit at 11th March 2020:

 

https://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/03/11/covid19-how-it-compares-with-other-diseases-in-5-charts

 

And last, but not least, live death figures worldwide showing the TOP 20 causes of death for 2020. The total number of deaths is 17,158,532 and climbing. The covid-19 deaths appear nowhere on the list!

Everyone can make their own minds up about the REAL reason for the lockdowns and why millions of individuals are being made destitute and the world economies are being destroyed, sending millions of businesses to the wall.

I know the stance Thailand has taken isn’t popular and it’s caused me no end of grief too but they appear to have fared better than many far wealthier and supposedly brighter western countries.

The countries that have the highest covid death rates are Italy, Splain, France, U.K. and Belgium.  Notice anything they are all temperate weather zones.  Also median age ranges from 40 to Italy's at over 45.  Notice anything.  An older population. 

Countries with the lowest coronavirus deaths include. Vietnam, Thailand, Yemen, Nigeria  Notice anything.  Hot tropical temperatures.  Also Vietnam median age 30 and Nigeria and amazing 17.9 years.  

This virus impacts older people and does not do well in hot humid climates.  Locking people down is exactly the wrong prescription.  Those who say "see it is saving lives"  are akin to the person who sees a man taken to the emergency room with a heart attack.  The doctors mistakenly amputate his arms and legs and yet he still survives.  They then say "see what a great job the doctors did in saving his life.

But, there again, Western nations such as France and the UK who have, in effect, placed residents on indefinite house arrest should, on the other hand, be fulsomely praised to the very highest heavens as being the best thing since sliced bread in your eyes, shouldn't they?

Stay on topic..Thais are homeless no money no good.

Given that pretty much the only cases here in the last 3 weeks have come from quarantine facilities, you have to ask why the continuation of the emergency decree? You can't catch it, if there isn't anyone out there with it, to catch it from. The only conclusion you can then draw is that power hungry regimes never like to give any freedoms back to the people once they have it. I suspect many personal liberties will somehow never be fully returned, such as large crowds, which very soon may be in the form of starving and angry mobs.

Don't forget the unresolved student lead grievance demonstrations. I would expect a lot of support once they are allowed to assemble (if ever). If there were an election (fair election) what would the results be?

There have been over 352,000 Covid deaths, which places it on the top 20 list. Why it is not there suggests that whoever compiled it is ill-informed. It is not in the top 20 for daily deaths (573).

Is that the best you can come up with? I stated clearly that the WHO figure was up to the 26th May 2020, but you conveniently left that out. What about the other 17 million deaths this year?

 

I wonder who is ill-informed?

Those "old dinosaurs" are doing far better than, for example, the Spanish government have been doing.

 

Why should a Thai government care about foreigners returning at the moment? They have far bigger things to worry about, primarily protecting their own citizens.

 

I assume you are going to support your statement and post the studies that demonstrate and prove that e-learning has zero effect in this country?

 

Their own citizens, who waited weeks or month for financial help?

Got it!

What a peculiar analogy. Have you got anything based on fact? You know, reality?

And don’t forget my home country as well State borders closed, police fining people, anyone arriving in the country taken under escort to a hotel room you couldn’t leave for 14 days

Quite frankly I have found the “ restrictions” minimal and hardly an inconvenience, but then again I don’t usually go out after 10pm and  don’t visit bars or brothels ( sorry massage parlors)

What is not mentioned in the reasoning for the low infection rate here is the heat. One doesn’t need to be a brain surgeon to figure this out, viruses such as the Covid strain don’t do well in the heat and die off quickly. All this chest puffing by the junta about the great job they’re doing is so much nonsense—thank Mother Nature.

"What is not mentioned in the reasoning for the low infection rate here is the heat."

 

Mmm heat?? really?? Well I guess the Philippines isn't hot, Indonesia isn't hot, Saudi

is definitely not hot, oh and Australia during summer, well that can't be hot either.

Brazil is warm and sunny today with 21 degrees, while not a heat wave, it certainly

isn't Antarctica.

Whether you believe in conspiracy theory or hidden agenda, lockdown idiotic or not, for what its worth, I think. They were always going for 30 June, 1st clue I can think of is the schools fairly quietly closed and 1st of July as resumption date announced. That was back in March. By the way the poster asking for proof that e-learning does not work here, there is no e-learning going on in any organised fashion in my area, the schools are shut and the kids are doing nothing. Even if they could few people have computers or reliable intenet access.

 

Anyway back to the story, the other clue was the relatively early announcement of Suvarnabhumi closure for the extra month of June, that was mid-May, if there had been any intention of making that decision based on the situation at the end of May it would'nt have been so early. Thai Airways who must have some inside running announced resumption of scheduled international flights 1 July. Also their Chinese supervisors would have told them 3 months were required as per the shining example of Wuhan.

 

So look for a relatively early announcement of whether Airport is to open on 1 July. Airlines will need as much lead time as possible as will potential passengers. And i think it will be a s**t show to start off with especially on the inbound side if they dont revoke the Covid test and insurance requirements or give operators enough time to establish those things. I notice some Airports in Europe are offering outbound passengers same day Covid tests with paperwork. 190Euro.

Seems like the only conclusion you can draw, try looking around the world at what other governments have being doing in relation to applying controls on their populations.

I haven’t experienced any great inconvenience recently travelled across three provinces, in my own country I would be stopped by the police from traveling from one State to another.

This is one of the best places to be on the planet right now. For this I am grateful. If you are not happy to live in this disease free country, there are still daily flights leaving for other diseased countries. You are welcome to leave.

Totally agree. 

If it wasn't for the bushfires in Australia I would have been there still. 

Was due to return, March 20th flight to Thailand was cancelled. 

Still stuck in Australia. 

My wife and family there alone. 

All I want is a flight to Thailand and the list of conditions that they will no doubt impose to get back in...

AND BEFORE YOU SAY IT IM FROM UK and can see whats happening
