Other countries have tried the self isolation and it did not work for them, Thailand does it the way I stated and it did seem to work in the overall scheme of things so at least get that right. No where do I say anything about the conflict in Myanmar being okay. You always seem to add in a Gaslight comment instead of just addressing the issue. Go gaslight someone else. When did Thailand introduce enforced quarantine....just this month?............ So how do you know it works? At least get that right. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are taken and isolated at a hospital, or in the case of Samut Sahkohn locked in a factory or Field Hospital, and it has been that way for over a year since the little Ghosts returned from S. Korea and failed to self isolate as instructed and went out partying, so get that straight. Stop trying to prove your right when your not in this case. Stop trying to gaslight myself and others. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you entirely, but the unelected "PM" did promise to investigate the Burmese illegal workers situation, which just proved to be another of his many lies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to go to MTT on Monday from my side of Bangkok, but I generally ride out through Nonthaburi and then back into the Area. Not sure what the logistics will be now. We went to Ratchaburi from Nonthaburi 2 days ago. Not a sign of any police stopping anyone. THere were a couple of checkpoints, but there was no action at all from the police. It seems at this point, the 'lockdowns' ae not that serious and is just being used to encourage people to not travel too far. Its not possible to seal every province border anyway.

Corruption is the main cause of the latest ourbreaks - first, the illegal movement of workers across the border (authorities should have been testing workers, with the knowledge that numbers on Myanmar were skyrocketing), then the illegal gambling dens that where allowed to operate, then the latest with the nightclubs not following disease prevention protocols. The borders would be the most difficult to deal with as there are many entrance points, so sealing the border would be almost impossibe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand has been and remains the safest place to escape Covid. True, but the "government" hasn't helped much regarding the Burmese illegals situation, they did nothing about it. That also applies to their handling of the officials and the Bangkok nightclub situation. Edited April 16, 2021 by possum1931 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thais started the issue so get that right at least and then Thai's perpetuated it by sneaking in the illegal workers. The PM presides over a system which is so riddled with corrupt practices that it is, literally,amazing. . He was put into power and is kept in power, to a large extent by influential wealthy people who both create and benefit from this corruption - for example by operating cross border casino operations and seafood processing plants which rely on poorly paid migrant labour. He and his government are therefore intrinsically linked with practices which have helped spread the virus within the country. That is before one considers the reckless stupidity of some of his ministers! He took (literally) the top job, and demands to be treated with the deference and respect he considers the top job requires. He must accept the responsibility and blame when things go (avoidably) wrong. I'm surprised that was not taught him all those years ago at the military academy, but then as he is so fond of telling us his version of Thailand has it's own way of doing things!

So why try and bring a quote from over 1 year ago into play. With this current wave they want people now who have travelled outside and visited families to self isolate but they have not tested positive. If they were positive then they would be isolated in a hospital or a field hospital of which there are many popping up all over the place, but try again and thanks for playing.

I have friends in Metro Manila, and not so long ago (this year 2021) they sent me videos of them in a club partying maskless and with strippers all around, so I don't know what your idea of "strict" lockdown is, but in my case it is far from that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 To the posters who think that Thailand has only had 97 deaths, you are naive, sorry but my Thai relatives say that there has been way more deaths, and their friends that work in the hospitals, say so as well. Thailand may be safer than some parts of the world for this Covid 19 virus, but I think that the Antarctic is a bit safer, but then who would want to go there and spend a long time on the ice. It is sad to hear of lockdowns, but it seems that the adults that live in Thailand, are like the adults the world over, and have to face a lock down as they do not act like adults, but like 4 year old children, who cannot be trusted.. It is a sad fact. Geezer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
