lockdown

[iammike]

No mention of stickers where we are?  What if we have to leave and don?t have one?  Not going to let us out? 

DD. If I was you I would have your wife talk to the Village Chief. He must have them.

[DeputyDavid]

She did. Response was ?not yet. ?  she was also informed that you have to have the sticker to enter shops as of May 1.

[iammike]

Wow and I thought that our Village Chief was slow, all other villages around us already had them 2 days ago, and we just got ours today.

Yes, that's the same that I was told, from May 1st you need it.

They came to the house this morning but we were out. No problem they said to the MIL we will come back this afternoon. However while we are here we will give your dogs a Rabies shot !!!

I?m in a village Ban Yang district. They came yesterday with my sticker. Wanted to put on my passport but I insisted on my ID or Driving License. Now on ID.
I refuse to carry my passport everywhere in case of damage or loss.
Can you imagine the difficulty if you loose passport now. Go Bangkok, 2 week quarantine come back, 2 week quarantine !!!
Would be forced to use an agent.

The sticker and quarantine typical thai Logic.
They love all kinds of documents.
And to Control them  - each for several minutes even if they dont understand what they mean or say.
Here in tungwang they plan quarantine people at the local obator.
Normally government say crowding is a no-no, and then they use the crowded obator to lock people up for 2 weeks.
How about keeping safe distance, how about feeding, giving Food, a Place to sleep, toilets and shower.
Desinfection.

The Mrs was told to go and get her health sticker,so we both went but I was told 'farang cannot have' 'only for Thai people'
After insisting that I also need one as I have to travel to Bangkok on Friday for a flight to U K she phoned her boss who confirmed that farang cannot have.
I can imagine the problems I could have with police checkpoints on the way if I didn't have one so insisted further.
Eventually she made a phone call to big boss in Ampur who told her that everyone must have one,stick it on his passport.
It took about 1 hr of arguments for her to begrudgingly stick one on my passport😕

My  wife was asked to go and get her health sticker, and to take my driving licence ,passport, with her, she returned with
a sticker on the front bottom left hand corner of the licence, and a sticker in top left hand corner of the inside cover of the passport,

They don't like to lose face..... unfortunately, it is something they are very good at when they don't know what they are doing

It is not about getting out - go out of Buriram and the sticker should be removed. Coming back you haver the quarantine/isolation factor before you can get a new sticker.


The sticker may be required to access certain places - shops, malls, markets etc.


I suspect the idea will wear thin within a month or so.

IMPORTANT: The ban on sale of alcohol will be lifted on Sunday 3rd May. More information will be released tomorrow but it looks like the only stipulation is that you must takeaway. You cannot drink on the premises.
