Well just in time because as of today it is illegal to protest or gather doing activities of the such because of the spread of Covid and it will put Thailand in a bad light when the millions of tourists come flocking in. Tourists don't spread covid!

Yes how interesting.  We have huge concerts announced but people cannot gather if they wish to advance their democratic rights.  There is a lot more to Covid then simply health issues.  Wake up people.

No testing of Thai folk and the testing of foreigners cannot be publicized as there will be a Hospital and Media gag order?

The young lady in the house believes Covid restrictions will never totally disappear ! It’s a way of controlling mass protests! Me thinks she has something there!

Seems like what is needed is a world leading hitman nicknamed "Covid". Could solve a lot of problems here.😉

It seems like they want a law repealing because they dont like it. Great, I'd like several laws repealing because I'm not a fan, easy!

P would be out of place at a high class hotel anyway, doubt he would understand what the set of 5 knives/forks + 3 spoons were actually used for, most Elite here don't understand Western standards of dining etiquette. The last time I saw one of those eating they were using the pastry fork as a nose pick, sums them up really.
