Phuket governor eyes construction camps for stricter Covid measures

[Thaiger]

Yesterday, Phuket’s governor Narong Woonciew inspected workers’ construction camps throughout the island. His inspections concerned the disease control measures that were put in effect after 13 workers at a Patong camped tested positive for Covid, which led to officials claiming the camp down in a month of “Bubble and Seal” quarantine. Kathu District Chief, Trithip Sakulpradit, and officers from the Office of Disease Prevention and Control Region 11, came with Narong to inspect a workers’ camp at a waterpark, says the Phuket office of the Public Relations Department in their report.

He was only only "inspecting" the construction camps in order to frighten their owners into giving him an even bigger brown envelope to allow them to keep open more likely. Once a crook always a crook and the mafia families never lose an opportunity to extort money.

Ahhh, the old proverbial trick of "Let's shift focus for where the real fault and blame should lay". Why doesn't he ever look in the mirror.

According to a broadcast yesterday, the Chief of the Phuket Employment Office, Ubon Chuaiphat, there are 26,764 migrant workers registered as working in the Phuket construction sector.

Also, according to information provided yesterday, this time from Pracha Asawathira, Manager of the DEPA office in Phuket, “among those who are 18-64 years old, 35,168 have received their first injection”.

What? 26k migrant workers in Phuket, and 35k of them have received their first vaccine. 

Is this just poor reporting, or me reading it wrongly, or did those officials actually say that about migrant workers? Amazing Thailand indeed. 

Joking aside, it's unacceptable that yet again, non-Thais, this time Burmese and Cambodians, are portrayed as the reason for an outbreak. Those officials must know that merely mentioning a nationality implants in many minds that that nationality is to blame.
