Thailand has strict measures and border controls to keep the coronavirus at bay having kept its cases to less than 4,000 and deaths at 60, although its tourism-reliant economy has suffered badly. Most infections in recent months have been imported and found in government quarantine, with only a handful of community-transmitted cases reported, which each saw massive contact-tracing efforts launched. So far more than 150 people in the [https://twitter.com/search?q=northern%20provinces&src=typd northern provinces] have been found and tested negative, senior health official Sopon Iamsirithaworn said in a separate news conference. The first of the three new cases arrived on Nov. 24 in Chiang Rai and travelled to Chiang Mai, where she later showed coronavirus symptoms and went to hospital. Two others who worked in the same entertainment venue in Myanmar returned on Friday. They stayed at a local hotel and later sought COVID-19 tests, which were positive. Myanmar is currently seeing an average 1,447 new coronavirus cases each day, with nearly 88,000 infections and 1,887 deaths overall.

Change Is In The Hair: Thai Royalist Turns Rebel

2020-12-30T18:20:04Z

SavannahGreenhal:

By Jiraporn Kuhakan BANGKOK, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Mitree Chitinunda was such a devoted Thai royalist that he had the king's portrait cut into his hair last year, but politics like fashion and hairstyles is changing in Thailand. Mitree latest hairstyle shows the "Hunger Games" salute of the pro-democracy protesters who are demanding reforms to curb the power of King Maha Vajiralongkorn in addition to a new prime minister and new constitution. "I support all of the three demands," said Mitree, 48, who regularly joins the protests. "The protests happened because people had enough," he told Reuters. "If we don't get real democracy, we will not stop and I will continue to support and come to protest." Mitree's change of heart reflects the dramatic transformation in a country where reverence for the monarch is obligatory under the constitution, but tens of thousands of people have joined protests to demand royal reforms. The government and royalist groups say loyalists remain in the majority, but there are no accurate opinion polls and protests that began in July have shown the strength of demands for change. At first youth protests sought only to remove Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, a former junta leader, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tour thái lan] but then broke taboos by calling for changes to the palace. [http://www.bbc.co.uk/search/?q=Protesters Protesters] say they do not seek to end the monarchy, but to make the king accountable under the constitution, to reverse moves that gave the king greater powers and to reduce palace spending. "The king is spending people's tax in the wrong way. That's why we need to reform the monarchy, but it doesn't mean getting rid of the institution because we all love the king," Mitree said. Asked about the protesters recently, the king said they were loved "all the same". The palace itself has made no comment. Mitree, a radiologist, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tour đi thái lan] had been a passionate royalist for decades, growing up in a country where the monarchy is promoted from [http://www.houzz.com/?search=schools schools] to television to the giant portraits on streets. But he said his mind was changed when he found out more. "I have received a lot of information via the internet, television or YouTube channels and weighed whether it's true and it turns out it's true," he said. Warong Dechgitvigrom, leader of royalist group "Thai Pakdee" said some people were being misled by social media, but he believes most Thais support the monarchy. "I'm not worried about people who are changing sides that much because I believe 80-90% of information on social media is fake," he said. Mitree is known for his novelty haircuts, which he says help to put patients at ease. The three-fingered salute of the protesters is on the back of his head while a peace symbol is on the left and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tua du lịch thái lan] dove on the right. "I have to be a bit more careful wherever I'm going because some ultra-royalist people are ignorant, they don't accept the truth," he said. (Editing by Matthew Tostevin; Editing by Michael Perry)
