I can’t even be bothered to be apathetic these days!

ALLEDGEDLY !.......might have been that pesky Chinese Government if you believe Trump.....or that pesky American Government if you believe the Chinese.....or "maybe" it just came from bats.......my money is on the last one actually just as nature usually has a million better ways of kicking us humans in the balls when we need it than we can ever muster ourselves.
In addition, I've also seen journalists blame pangolins & snakes etc. Usually stating it as a fact, rather than writing "may be from Pangolins, although this is not yet proven".

What part of GET IN WITH IT don’t they understand from watching the virus devastate other Countries I wonder !!??
I can only be generous and assume that like other Counties this is them gently trying to prepare their people for what’s coming in terms of full lockdown etc, but considering the average Thai won’t need to go out and panic buy toilet rolls as we for some stupid reason felt we needed to here in the West they really should just go straight to it now and never mind waiting the week to impose what HAS to come for the longterm good of their own citizens.
Whatever is the origin of the virus, haven't you noticed that there are far fewer cases in Japan than the USA, which is probably attributed to the way they wear their masks?

My My you'd almost think all the "idiots" that commented on same earlier in the week about how desolate Pattaya was becoming and how it was facing a torrid time were maybe right after all eh ! :-p
On a serious note the closing of all hotels is one hell of a step up from the night time curfew and even the 24 hour curfew, I'm guessing that's going to give a lot of parang all sorts of major headaches now either trying to find a work around or to find somewhere to relocate to pretty damn quick ! I'm sure the hotels in Bkk will be taking note ( and either wondering will they be next or jacking up their prices accordingly ( or maybe just be glad of the possible new business !)
And THIS the opening of an official government check down to look for Corona Virus cases - with their excellent social distances skills so evident give it a day or two and they'll not have to look too far !!! But hey it's Thailand, no way the boss is going to pass up his Photo Op to get his picture in the press doing great work for the people. This is one pic perhaps he'll look back on a wish they hadn't perhaps have taken when some of the people in it aren't with us anymore maybe due to their (own) stupidity !

An Emergency Decree entered into force on 26 March 2020, initially until 30 April. As part of this, the Thai authorities have barred all foreign nationals from entering or transiting Thailand except in certain limited circumstances. If you do not meet these criteria you should not try to enter or transit Thailand:
