BigTel Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Just finished watching the above video, Wow that poor Lady. She had to lash out 52000 Baht for the ASQ hotel with little or no choice, no wonder I have no thoughts of getting back there any time soon as it is simply impossible to commit to a trip with all the planning that's needed when there are so many links in the chain now and just one broken one and that's the trip out the window. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quietguy Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 And if the situation changes while you are out there and you need to self isolate in a Government approved quarantine hotel on return to UK, that will cost £1,750 for 10 days - about 80,000 Baht. I guess that would also be the case if someone on your plane tests positive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustSumGai Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 from what I read there were 6 cases (forcing who knows how many people into *expensive* mandated quarantine and screwing up their itinerary...some may have had to return home early after blowing much of their budget on lux hotel arrest) and HALF were children ! They have NO BUSINESS letting children into this kind of situation as they can't be vaccinated and BIG surprise, carry it. I hope someone gets the tally on the web. Something like 4000 people in so far, how many were on a plane with NO covid positive passengers? It's an important point. And one that will surely have impact in the future. I'm guessing they figured as all in were well heeled so to speak, that would take care of most of the problem. Surprise, surprise SURPRISE....rich people get Covid too. Perhaps they should start using smaller planes to ferry folks in? One positive puts 300 people in lockup, is there any jet flying that's 100 capacity? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxpharm Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 The German lady who said she was sitting beside the Covid +ve man, who had a big family of 11 (including children). They were Arabic and boarded the plane at Dubai. Note that all adult passengers had to provide a -ve Covid 19 test no longer than 72 hours of arrival time or they would not be allowed to board the plane. So what does this show? There are a few possibilities - the Thai test was a false +ve, the test in Dubai was a false -ve, or the Dubai man was incubating the virus and it had not reached high enough levels to be detected until he arrived at Phuket. As for the possibility of bribing for a -ve Covid 19 test results - there are severe penalties for anyone issuing such a test report the in the Arabian Gulf countries, and for anyone making the bribe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seven Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 Why not? I knew there are ladymen in Indonesia. Man with coronavirus disguises as wife on Indonesian flight https://www.yahoo.com/news/man-coronavirus-disguises-wife-indonesian-074415113.html TERNATE, Indonesia (AP) — An Indonesian man with the coronavirus has boarded a domestic flight disguised as his wife, wearing a niqab covering his face and carrying fake IDs and a negative PCR test result. But the cover didn't last long. Police say a flight attendant aboard a Citilink plane traveling from Jakarta to Ternate in North Maluku province on Sunday noticed the man change the clothes in the lavatory. “He bought the plane ticket with his wife’s name and brought the identity card, the PCR test result and the vaccination card with his wife’s name. All documents are under his wife’s name,” Ternate police chief Aditya Laksimada said after arresting the man upon landing. He was only identified by his initials. Police took him for a COVID-19 test, which came back positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pdoggg Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Ventilators are now being rationed and at Thammasat Hospital if you are over 75 and have incurable cancer or AIDS you will not have ventilator access. A crematorium in Bangkok partially collapsed due to pressure from burning too many corpses of Covid-19 patients. I expect more ventilator rationing in the near future. The prudent course until vaccination is to avoid people as much as possible and to take social distancing seriously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
