What did that do to countries when infected people returned home, that action was probably responsible for exhalerating the spread of c19 worldwide I don't know for sure how many grams of brainmatter are to be found in an average kiwi fruit. I guess "zero", none at all. Now to a guy calling himself Keith, from NZ or not: joke apart, what kind of hotchpotsch did you produce here: mixing those thousands of chinese tourists (which should IMO too not have been admitted in Thailand, or, possibly anywhere else, ) with infected nationals, here Thais (your "people returned home"?), please tell. Not wanting to bury the nail deeper after my "opening", but may I guess you meant: "accelerating" instead of "exhalerating", as "exhaling" though the closest related doesn't make sense, as it can't be you meant "exhilerating" as it would be quite deviant to find anything enjoyable about the Covid-19 pandemic...? So, please, next time, take a bit more time to put your valuable thoughts together, and think about how to write about these in an intelligible(*) way for us here. Thanks a lot.

Mr Meeseeks Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Offshore worker in the OP is entirely a victim of his own poor decisions. A poor decision to agree to return to work when his wife was pregnant and imminently expecting a baby when he knew the risks that he may not be able to return to Thailand. He may have been offshore when his wife gave birth anyway, with or without the COVID. Not to mention he doesn't even have a proper visa to stay in Thailand and is abusing the visa exempt stamps to de-facto live in Thailand, which while not strictly illegal, it certainly is not in the spirit of immigration law. Some folks just don't get they have absolutely no rights here! Waken up! Edited May 28, 2020 by Mr Meeseeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if you are really 'retired' you wouldn't want to have kids, sort of defeats the purpose I would have thought?

Giving a wai and being respectful goes a long way with them. I've even had a few converse with me in Thai and I nearly always get a smile from them eventually.

It was a hard decision, but a wrong one to leave for work, knowing full well that international air travel could be problematic, and entry back into Thailand even more so, especially without a valid visa or permission to stay. Indeed it was even more of a wrong decision given that his wife was pregnant. If offshore workers can't take a couple of months off during an international pandemic and when their wife or gf is imminently expecting a baby then there's something wrong there. FYI, I am a permanent resident with a work permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CLS Posted May 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) 4 hours ago, brewsterbudgen said: Some reason for optimism: The government has set July 1 for the lift of all business and activity lockdowns ordered earlier to cope with the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), said the National Security Council chief. These include interprovincial and international travel, as well as the end of emergency decree and curfew. NSC secretary-general Gen Somsak Rungsita said on Thursday that the lift of restrictions would be a complete reopening of the country. Officials would next month prepare measures for the reopening. The junta is now under pressure as Vietnam announced yesterday to open its borders for 80 mostly first world countries from July 1st. Thailand should follow Vietnam’s lead in many other fields if they don’t want to end up at the bottom of all ASEAN countries. Vietnam is the future. And when they are at it, the 40 years old, outdated immigration laws should be ammended. What about a 3 months tourist and 5 years spouse visa like Vietnam?

The guy with the newborn son does not have a work permit or PR so how does this news story help him. I would imagine that most guys that are married to a Thai are in same boat. Sadly don't see a lot of joy in this for many with family/wife in Thailand. Instead of father flying in, there're flights that can bring wife/kids out of Thailand (I've been told) so this might be a temporary measure for family reunion if they can't wait. Foreigners coming in might be charged hotel fees for 14 days if Thailand do allow them in the near future. Edited May 28, 2020 by EricTh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
