They lock down the gypsy village in Rawai but they are not releasing to many details how many infected I also noticed the nearest 7/11 was closed

They have been good at hiding the figures especially with the atk tests!

Nearly 90 yet?

Yes, they had to close the bar.

Something not quite right about this, as they did mass testing a couple of weeks ago down there now all of a sudden

Wait for the 8.5m free tests to arrive. That'll do it.

So setting the standards and infection parameters was nothing but PR rubbish. Close the damn sandbox and stop conning the overseas tourists! Here in CM we have a fraction of the cases but are still being kept in a open prison.

Careful …. There may be a explosion of cases, as the Central Festival Mall second floor …. They haven’t closed the mall like last time.

Special order test kits to show only false negatives.

Sandbox.... winning!  If we arent going to stop complacency we can expect  to face the gauntlet of death that will surely  come.  People are tired of the strife and failings.  Most people I meet have the, "If I get sick and die attitude,  then I die," manyra, which is sad.  Open up, and dont turn back!!! Well hold on everyone  we're in for a surprise!

No swab required. They come with preprinted lines.

[nikoncam]

Well stories like these just prove that their healthcare system is seriously underfunded and understaffed and or they do not provide any drugs for treatment.

good job PM prayut!

[DollhinSpirit]

I wonder how many of the new cases and unfortunate deaths are with people who have been vaccinated? Would be interesting to see those numbers.

Covid  what Covid

Oh. will this be a cover up? For CM you have to really look, but an area in San Sai just had a kaboom of
Covid at a market and a factory there. 31 or 32 at the factory and this links to the market and area around it. The factory is 10 minutes driving up from Maejo University as was in the news.

doh

[BIGGLES]

Even if they do fully open up December 1, I think they're in for a surprise. 

I believe the most dim witted, spotty faced, gap year youth, will be able to see that it is not a safe place, or welcoming place to holiday at present.

There are huge market sources, which are currently not available due to countries placing Thailand on a red list. The UK, the second largest market after the USA, is highly unlikely to change that anytime soon.

I believe that this year's high season is a dead duck.

I believe thus is due to incompetent vaccine handling and roll out, mismanagement and corruption. 

Tourists are not coming, does not matter what the TAT etc say, for the present, confidence in Thailand  has gone.

My money is on the UK adjusting Thailand to amber at one of the next two fortnightly reviews.
