It only needs a few people to spread the virus and the whole country will suffer from it. Its like telling a fireman when a house is on fire to only spray water on half of it cos the other half might be OK. The authorities are clueless and as is the norm in Thailand, its all about the money ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikosan Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 With regards to these measures commencing at00:01 on Sunday 18th April and concluding on 30th April. The Governor of Prachuapkhirikhan brought in pretty much identical measures on 13th April, with an indefinite time limit, so those of us residing there are already under these measures, with no end date yet.

natway09 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 The obvious ommission from this are malls.

I don't think it is a case of the money, I think it is more to do with the lack of vaccines available to every country in the world. I do know that the EU refused to allow a shipment of vaccine to be exported to Australia which put Australia behind in their timeframe to vaccinate their people. Then there is the likes of the orders for Johnson & Johnson vaccine that has now been cancelled because of it not being approved now. I think the big problem is that the pharmies cannot supply the vaccines quick enough and that they are still having problems with them. Pfizer have now claimed that their vaccine is not as strong as first thought and that people will need a third injection plus a further injection every 12 months. Plus the rich countries hogging the vaccines and the poorer countries having to wait longer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Percy P Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 20 hours ago, ThailandRyan said: are they not a convenience store? According to the list and what I heard, nothing after 11pm is to be opened. Restaurants can stay open to 9 for dining in and then until 11pm for those food delivery riders to pick-up and deliver. Read the restrictions . 7/11 is a convenience store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfrog Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Strange, something I will never understand, restaurants cannot serve alcohol but you can buy it anywhere in any shop, what are the people gonna do after dinner at 9 pm when all is closed anyway, so why not have a beer or glass wine with your food?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No gatherings, no bars, no late night munchies, so in essence a pseudo curfew. This is supposed to encourage people to reduce their travels and movement during those times. Back to where we were last year for the kids going to school as well, at least until April 30th. Looks like this school break will end up like last years with kids being stuck at home....argh Reckon that's the point exactly .. Although it stops what happened last time , when a homeless man was booked for curfew breaches . But , yep the message is clear . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how you get gas if your traveling between 11pm and 4am. Fill the car to max most cars u can drive 5 hours and still have Petrol /diesel or take a 20ltrr reserve may be difficult for some but most cars have a meter fitted can always look at that before say 10 pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
