But its not a bad thing. Life in Bali is way better without bogans ! So how many countries have you visited since January, 2020? I'm gonna guess about the same number as I have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not see how that statement has any value to the average Joe in the street when it comes to how best to combat the effects of any pandemic let alone Covid 19. We, the public in general, do not have sufficient technical knowledge of the "science" and we rely on the scientific "experts" to interpret that for us and come up with solutions that work for us all. When they cannot agree on the benefits of something as basic as wearing a face mask then God help us all. Two years after mass vaccinations this cynic would not be totally surprised if some expert says "Sorry,who would have expected that to have happened?" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Sad state of affairs in Thailand, or anywhere when this happens. In a country with the rule of law the employer would go to prison for this, with sentence doubled or tripled for possibly spreading the virus to other areas. Covid-zone workers dumped in Samut Prakan Fourteen Myanmar workers at a factory in Covid-19-plagued Samut Sakhon province were rushed off the premises and abandoned in neighbouring Samut Prakarn's Bang Phli district on Tuesday night. Police at Bang Kaew station were informed of their presence about 11pm. They were left with their bags on Soi Green Lake, at the entrance to Green Lake housing estate off Bang Na-Trat Road in tambon Racha Thewa. Ony six of them had passports. They told police they had worked at the STI Precision Co plastic-moulding plant in Muang district, Samut Sakhon, for about a month. Personnel staff at the company told them on Tuesday evening that police were to inspect the plant and they had to leave the premises. They said 23 workers were to be transported from their workplace to Rayong province. The dumped employees told police that some workers were dropped off from their vehicle on the way. The remaining 14 were taken to Rayong, where they were to be left in a forest. They refused to stay there. The driver asked if any of them had a relative or friend who could accommodate them. They said some relatives and friends worked and lived at a factory on Soi Green Lake in Bang Phli. However, the factory owner rejected them for fear of breaking the law, and their having come from Samut Sakhon, the epicentre of the latest Covid-19 outbreak. So their driver dumped them at the entrance of the Green Lake housing estate. The workers told police they had not been tested for Covid-19 and were desperately in need of help. Local health officials took sample swabs and quarantined them. Police were contacting their employer. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasseye Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Amazing what they won't allow in and then what they will ship in by the boat and truckloads. Literally by the millions. Those shrimp are tasty though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole circus has been taken over by politicians and Big Pharma. In France 8 doctors (of which some are senior scientist , head of top hospitals or department heads) are being sued by the French doctors board because they openly declared their disagreement with the government strategie.

By coincidence, I had a Christmas Eve buffet dinner in Monkey Bar (2) in Jomtien. Well appointed Bar which enjoys regular support from expat customers so I am reliably informed although this was my first visit. Really wide range of excellent well prepared food and at 390 baht to include first drink free and a complimentary "raffle" which provided me with a half bottle of whiskey was excellent value for money. I gave the whiskey (Thai} to my mate Sweatie as being a Scot with hollow legs will drink just about anything he doesn't have to pay for himself. He was the only customer possibly ever to drink the bottle of unknown origin you have to pay for in AC in lieu of a bar fine. In fact he drunk two and subsequently passed out at 02:00am in the Reception of the Pacific Breeze. 🤣 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went over to the local market here on Soi Regional Land yesterday afternoon. It was like April again, the whole place cordoned off and a temperature check when you enter through the one place that's open. It makes me wonder what the point of that is since so many of the new cases this time around are reported to be asymptomatic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
