Short, but not very sweet, but so very much on-point, regarding the current Phuket/Covid/govt denial scenario. What an excellent debut post and thanks for that!

 

Hello, Oracle and welcome to Thaiger Talk

Please feel free to tell us a bit about yourself in 'Introductions'. It's good to pick-up on those sometimes differing regional or geographical perspectives.

And check-out the Guidelines, too, when you get a free minute. They're there to help us all enjoy our time here.

Happy posting
