How, the borders are closed to farangs, only thais allowed in. So its more likely a thai would have the virus.

 

its racism pure and simple.

There are foreigners coming in, have been for a couple of weeks. All with work permits and doing 14 day quarantine at hotels.

Most (all?) countries are allowing their citizens to return.  

My mama says simple is as simple says. Purely.

Cry me a river..... Its 1 bus company out of who knows how may in Thailand that you cant ride on their bus as plenty other bus companies that will take a farangs money. Same goes with praying to Budha with Thais as plenty of other places where you can be one with Budha and ride a bus to get you there.

And, in the unlikely event that these foreigners want to travel on a "The Transport Co." bus (a state enterprise), they will be refused a seat.

Thais returning from the same countries, and having to undergo the same quarantine, will be permitted to travel on "The Transport Co." buses.

Thais who have not left the country during this covid pandemic can travel on these buses. Foreigners who have not left the country will be refused a seat.

Okay, it's a rather petty issue which doesn't affect many of us "dirty foreigners", but it can't be denied that this is discrimination (by a state enterprise) solely on the basis of nationality.

 

 

Calm down tiger, I agree with you.

 

I was simply making the point that eligible foreigners have been allowed back into Thailand in recent weeks based on personal knowledge of a couple who have.

No disagreement. I was just using your post to indicate that foreigners permitted to enter Thailand are treated differently to Thais.

Sorry if it came across as something else.

OP: Maybe you need to head to the US and join the riots. Since the "policies" that you highlight did not exist before the pandemic, one can safely assume they are in response to it. Intelligent, or not, you can debate. But racist it is not.

Any one who thinks the Thais only signs are not racist........Then there is no way you can say these signs are racist either...

The difference being that Black Americans were citizens of the country segregating them. We have the choice to go home.

Not talking about the smiles...the volume of redundant paperwork could be reduced and still have everything they need.

And considering the extent to which Europe and the US blew the response to Covid, it is likely we will be seen as "a bit radioactive" for the next year or so. So what? Kind of fun playing Zombie farang!

And china didn't????? Do you think the chinese will be banned from the buses?
