This is getting worse and worse. I thought after a few weeks maybe a month things would slow down in Thailand after Songkran. But clearly this is going to keep increasing for a long time.  I hate that Aust is so locked down etc. but until a few months ago Thailand had far less cases and deaths than in Aust, but now Thailand is way ahead in numbers. Until vaccinations here are at 70-80% and new cases are rare, it looks like I will be stuck in Aust for a long time.

Maybe the Thaiger could start posting the Thai Road Toll statistics again. I would say they are now just about on a comparable daily footing with COVID19.

No, but they learn how to report correctly by first training in the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT). From there they take a more imaginative position in one of the Thai government ministries.

4000 new cases of Covid a day, with hospitals nearly full, and they expect foreign tourists to come pouring in ? There is a major outbreak of delusion in Thailand.

seems situation getting serious, wonder why no postponement on visa extenstion and 90 day report for expats as before when the situation is much less severe?

Chonburi's governor/administrator should resign. Horribly bad job! No excuse for the large number of cases! They also refused to disallow Bankok people for coming in spreading the virus! It is like no one is in charge with any brains! Sad!
