How can you say it's Thai people being mutation bodies as they just don't vaccinate like some of the other anti vaxxers.... this would be hard to sell right.

Doesn't make it less true however.

I thought that was mentioned sometime before as well as being able to make hell freeze over.

[riclag]

I remember the same said for Delta 555

Once it comes it stays, vaccinated or not! 
 

The gift that keeps on giving! The world must never forget and hold the leaders of the CCP responsible!

[Thaired]

This is a vow he has no right to make and no power to deliver. He has found a way to stop viruses being airborne now? He thinks viruses have any care for national borders? I remember clearly his 120-day full opening promise that he also failed to keep.

You are wrong …. He has every right! 
‘Every right because he is a politician and within their mandate they are allowed to tell porkies, promise the world and deliver nothing. ….. if this is the type of porky he is telling now, just wait for the election to see the drivel then!

[ThaiEyes]

Well we all know how well Prayut does with promises. For every promise there’s a compulsory walkback. 

[Shark]

My glass boll is telling me no tourists until 2032.

[Griff1315]

Don't panic 

It will all be over with in 4 weeks, 6 at the most.

Famous for false statements...

[Cabra]

It's already here... Just don't know where or who.

[JackMeOff]

Pattaya Beach had thousands of people, almost all Thai, shoulder to shoulder watching the fireworks display, many not wearing masks and drinking alcoholic beverages. 

Pray tell, how is the Thai junta leader going to stop continued transmission of covid, no matter which variant?

It is just a matter of time before this new strain reaches Thailand. 

Same PM who promised to fully open Thailand earlier this year to all foreign international tourists.

10 more years is way too pessimistic. I think you meant 2023.

I'm a realist, you mean the 5 real tourists whom will then jump through all the hoops.
No I was talking about the proper recovery of Thailand.

Where years away from that. Glory days... Perhaps won't even come at all anymore.
Until everyone in the kingdom is vaccinated and we waited out the last form of mutations there is no real hopes for foreign tourism, don't get me wrong I like the Thais want foreigners to visit my country. But realistically saying it will just take a very very very long-time, I won't be fasting that long.

[Paco]

They not doing everything to prevent it to enter Thailand because borders are open!!! So stating such nonsense to do like you doing anything is bullsh*t.. Second what every time about stating that people should not panic, as far as I know nobody panics at all... is this again something trying to place nonsense in our head?

But also depends on the mutations. We'll get a good idea in 3 weeks from now.

So now Chan-o-cha has appointed himself the King Canute of virology.

The PM has vowed.....really? So if he's vowed, does that mean he has to resign if Omicron comes to Thailand?

Perhaps our illustrious leader should get the RTP on the case, they will prevent it happening,
After all, the RTP can't find any evidence of prostitution in Pattaya.

[ozvenision]

He must have 3 ! He can't be that silly playing with 1 

[Rookiescot]

Its probably already here and even if its not it will arrive.

The Thai border is so porous there is no way to prevent it.
