When the Thai PM issues a public statement there will be "no" of something (election, coup, national lockdown, etc) what he/she really means it is very soon to be happening. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why Thai government has not approved any of the vaccines and start setting up vaccination posts all over the country? The sooner you vaccinate people the sooner you can open the borderes for tourists. What am I missing here?

Lockdowns are inevitable until mass vaccinations are implemented , unfortunately Thailand has got way behind the curve ball in this respect. I really dont know what the government thinking was , they seemed to imagine they could shut the virus out. Many of us have been soundly denounced as ' Thai bashers ' for suggesting that doing fine in the early battles does not constitute winning the war against Covid. What is peaking in Europe now is just starting in Thailand and no way on earth are they prepared , God help all my good friends in the nation.

Granted, it was at the price of the economic health of many Thai people unfortunately, but until the recent events during the past couple of weeks, Thailand has been a very safe place to be living, compared with almost any other country in the world. Unfortunately, I think this fact lulled a lot of people into letting their guard down (both Thai government officials and the public at large), and so here we go again...back to square one! Hopefully though, we will be able to end the present lockdowns far more quickly based on the demonstrated fast and decisive action of the authorities and (hopefully) a renewed vigilance of a much better-informed and more motivated public. Personally, I'm optimistic that 2021 will be a much better year than 2020 ???? Edited January 3, 2021 by WaveHunter 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any democratic nation he would have been kicked out of office and rightly so. Yes, it was crass. Yes, he is immensely dislikable. But come on, ten months ago! Why do people have to bang on about it in nearly every single thread, it is very tiresome now. And you don't live in the real world if you think "in any democratic nation" he would have been kicked out. You need to get real. They are all just as bad as each other. Look at some of the vile stuff that Jacob Rees-Mogg has come out with: after Grenfell is a good example. Also his comments supporting a right wing racist German party. And plenty of others. Boris Johnson has come out with some appalling stuff; referring to gays as "tank topped bum boys", black people "piccaninnies with watermelon smiles", Muslim women "letterboxes" and "bank robbers". And he's our PM! Tons more offensive stuff from many of our esteemed democratically elected MPs in the UK. And don't forget the US has a president who is incredibly offensive, racist, homophobic and sexist. None of them have been kicked out because of it. The West is not a utopia. And once again, it was one comment made ten months ago. Get over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, TVF is a wonderful place for sharing ideas and and staying well informed as a Farang, but there are many members here who only live to bash from the comfort and anonymity of their online presence.

I generally agree with your above comment except for one exception... You can't judge someone's performance halfway thru the race... It's where they are when the race is done at the finish line that ultimately counts...

Well that's certainly true..."it ain't over until the fat lady sings" but the attitude and the actions of the present dictate what the outcome will be in the future. Thai authorities and the public have had their fair share of mis-steps with Covid during the last year, but when judged against those of other countries, the Thai authorities and the public including all of us Farangs have a lot to be proud about in how we've all dealt with this whole mess. At least that's how I see it ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
