oowee Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Thailand had very few cases and then stopped movement into the country after isolating the cases they had. My mate has been stuck there for best part of a year now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were shocked when we arrived, All hotel staff wore masks, schools had been shut down. The Chinese had returned home. Signs outside hotels said no Chinese. The Koreans had gone. Every time we stepped into a cafe, taxi, public place we were offered sanitiser and masks if necessary. We were probably zapped 3 or 4 times a day with a thermal thermometer at airports museums and coaches and We were track and traced with QR codes. Being a communist country, the people were very compliant and did as they were told. We returned to Britain in March and were again shocked that there were no precautions or restrictions at all. In many ways, Britain was between 2 and six months behind Vietnam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
