webfact Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Govt’s ‘carelessness’ hits Rayong tourism sector badly By THE NATION The discovery of a visiting Egyptian soldier’s Covid-19 infection has hit Rayong’s tourism sector badly, with people cancelling hotel bookings in Koh Samet. Sarinthip Thapmongkolsap, chair of the Samet Tourism Association, said each and every hotel booking had been cancelled over fears of the virus spreading after the soldier’s infection was announced on Monday (July 13). She added that business operators on the island, along with officials of the Khao Laemya-Koh Samet National Park, had put in place strict measures to screen and control visitors since the island opened to visitors on July 1. She said many people had visited and booked rooms, until the “government ruined it” with its carelessness in dealing with foreign visitors. -- © Copyright The Nation Thailand 2020-07-15 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's starting to stack up against the regime, even Thais are getting fed up of the PM and his incompetent ministers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your living on the edge like that kid in A Christmas Story who wanted a Red Rider BB gun. "You'll shoot your eye out kid!" That's ok. The MSM will pick up your story after your dead. "NCC1701A looked up at the buxom nurse and with his final smiling breath rattled, 'I shouldn't have gone to Rayong. I thought the virus was a hoax.'" <gasps, expires> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Why such caution with foreign tourists, and such reckless behavior with foreign military and diplomats? Who is responsible? As always Prayuth. He needs to resign immediately. He is reckless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
