Just showing the stupid peasants who's the boss, I guess, "I can, therefore I will". The eejits in charge here should look at what happened to Bill Clinton when he acted like that with Monica! Does the wiffie give any prediction as to when they might allow us peons to buy a can of beer in a 7-eleven again? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will find it means no more than 2 persons playing together per hole. What about your caddy?

Thai Spice Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 So, things re open nearly to normal on Sunday ? https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/1910684/lockdown-to-ease-sunday#cxrecs_s Can anybody explain why a flea markets and pet grooming shops are a priority ? Ahhh, because they are low risk ? So why close them to start with ? It's all about gesticulating . And what's the purpose of keeping the booze ban ? But let's be positive, at least they saw the light and realized that closing down the whole economy was NOT the solution. And at least it will let the local people make an income. Tourists are (logically) the last priority. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it the booze ban is to free up hospital beds...many accidents ,eg road are alcohol fuelled and high impact injuries require hospital admission Their country their rules ...given the high % of young people in LOS relative to the West it makes sense sort of 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcebwithu Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 More confusion from the government... People start leaving Phuket by road People started leaving Phuket by road on Friday for the first time since the resort island was closed off a month ago, but it remains shut to outsiders. Tha Chatchai, where the island links with the mainland and Phangnga province, was busy from 5am, when the people who had reserved the first exit slots were allowed to cross the bridge and leave Phuket, with others scheduled to leave in the afternoon. The road from Phuket town to Tha Chatchai was jam-packed with cars from early morning, stretching back several kilometres, with people anxious to head home as soon as possible. But the province then made a sudden about-turn on Friday afternoon, announcing that no more people would be allowed to leave until Sunday. Phuket police chief Pol Maj Gen Rungroj Thakoorpunyasiri did not offer any explanation why. He said only that the decision was made after discussions between Phuket governor Phakaphong Tavipatana and the government in Bangkok. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
