More than 80 Thais who worked at Myanmar hotel linked to COVID-19 outbreak skipped quarantine

When I read that this place "employed" 180 (!!!) Thai females, I immediately knew what sort of "employment" the majority of them pursued most likely. It couldn't be any other way, could it? Luckily, the article confirmed that only two paragraphs down.

 

The true purpose of that alleged "hotel" also becomes very apparent the moment you lay eyes on its garish, kitschy, over-the-top facade. There is no doubt that this is foremost a casino-cum-brothel. A veritable honkytonk just across the border.

 

The principal investors are Chinese... and... and... and who? No prize for guessing here, of course.

 

And although the article quite openly mentions that this "hotel" is "frequented by Myanmar VIPs, including top ranking military personnel", it completely fails to disclose that the "other" regular main clientele consists of - let's re-use the above phrase, shall we? -  "Thai VIPs, including top ranking military personnel."

 

Well, at least that was the case before the Covid crisis struck. Because surely, EVERY Thai VIP returning from a little gambling-and-fornication sojourn across the border nowadays MUST go into quarantine. Right???????? 

 

Thanks for the unsubstantiated and pointless conjecture.

... The steady flow of SUVs and smart motor cars into the 'Golden Triangle" at weekends is for the hill tribe fabric and wood carving markets don't you know! Just take a glance at the riverside car parks at Chiang Saen, so handy for the long tailed boat landing stages on the Ruak River...

 

Pictures or it never... etc., etc..

Many of the Thai women who worked at 1G1-7 are understood to be sex workers with the hotel frequented by Myanmar VIPs, including top ranking military personnel.

So it could be that Covid is now spreading nicely among the Myanmar hierarchy. I find myself smiling.

 

If the "fat army generals from Yangon" allegation proves true, then it's hardly surprising since Yangon is already the most infected place on Myanmar and probably where the Tachileik cluster was hatched from. Domestic travel is heavily curtailed and Myanmar recently extended its international AND domestic flight ban through end of this month, December. However, about 13,000 domestic flight operations have been carried out since the 'grounding' last April so maybe easy enough for military and hi-so types to fly as cargo.

Isn't it somehow naive to expect that all people will follow COVID rules and regulations by themselves? And there is not much that can be done. You can punish some but you can't stop such a behavior completely.

Put a few in jail for a couple of years and make sure everyone knows about it. Should deter others from crossing illegally and dodging quarantine

Earlier this week, Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said the full force of the law will be used against those who returned to Thailand illegally, evaded quarantine and caused the recent spike in cases in the country.

Poor sods , 500 baht fine and a Wai.

I just hope there is no farangs involved, the Thai government would milk it for all they could get

How could there be? A farang leaves Thailand, they can't get back in legally. How many would have the language skills to negotiate with people smugglers?
