So, according to the pic, these high-risk, self isolating people go out to a collection point to receive their bag????

At one point, the average monthly income in Phuket fell to 1,961 baht per month.

There's no point being 'nice' about this since the point has been made several times before that this is absolute, complete rubbish but it still gets trotted out regularly as if it's based on fact.

It's completely untrue, as has been shown several times with links to the Prince Of Songkhla Uni study it's supposed to be based on.

The study found that the direct income from tourists (hotels, restaurant meals, tours, etc) had fallen to under a billion baht a month.

To come to the conclusion that "the average monthly income in Phuket fell to 1,961 baht per month", that direct income from tourists was divided by the entire population of Phuket: babies, 80 and 90 year olds, schoolchildren, teachers, nurses, construction workers, civil servants - the vast majority of whom had no direct income from tourists and never had had any.

It's just complete nonsense and appalling misinformation.

Survival bags??

Instead of spending approx. 400 million dollars on 3 jets from the USA, distribute this to the people who have no income since the start of the pandemic.
