Ventenio Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Thailand has a chance to make more money. Clearly NOBODY wants to go outside of Thailand sice there is a HIGHER (not sure the % since we are in a bubble, but will guess and say 10x higher) chance of getting COVID and at least feeling horrible with a 4% chance of death. In my case, 0%, in your case, 99%. lol Farangs would pay 50,000 baht a month to stay until there is a vaccine. This is some strange movie that really has gone on too long.....

Mr Meeseeks Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I think they should close the borders completely until they get a handle on this. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprising since last week was the worst week so far for covid worldwide. It is completely out of control in Europe, the Americas and the Middle East now. 2021 will be worse than 2020. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammieuk1 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Come to ASQ where your more than 25% likely to get infected you also get a 5* R rate and a massive fee sounds very attractive ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post damascase Posted November 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2020 So, mostly Thai people. This must have to do with the strange exception for returning Thais: they don’t have to have a negative Covid-test within 72h of departure.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ukrules Posted November 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2020 It's time to start testing everyone before they get on a plane for half a day or more. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scot123 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Reading on here is so bizarre. The fact that the truthful and so honest thai authorities are believed by so many expats on here is shocking. Not even questioning these so called quaranteen hotels and Covid contractions while there. Then there is the hysteria about the pandemic that never was. For god sake do a little research and stop reading headlines. When the dust settles from this madness the cost will be shocking. I know in the UK for whatever reason figures are being massaged up and the government when caught readily admit the lie but media just ignore it. More people in the uk are dying because of Covid than from Covid and by the thousands more. But hay you are getting hotels to yourself and those pesky tourists aren't in your way and let's just ignore the poor thai people who were earning their living from tourists. How selfish!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
