Thai athletes to get advice on avoiding the Zika virus

THAILAND is on high alert for the Zika virus as athletes and staff are set to travel to the Olympic Games in Brazil.

Zika infections have been detected in Thailand, but the situation here is thought to be well under control. "There are now just one or two cases in two provinces, namely Udon Thani and Beung Kan," Deputy Prime Minister Admiral Narong Pipatanasai said yesterday, in his role as chairman of the committee on emerging infectious diseases.

He said his committee had discussed preparations to protect Thai athletes and staff who will attend the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in August.

"They should be advised about how to protect themselves," Narong said.

His panel plans to raise the issue with the Olympic Committee of Thailand.

Some 46 athletes from the Kingdom have so far booked Olympic berths in 14 sports, but the figure is likely to rise as the country expects to get more spots in badminton.

Brazil is one of 58 countries and territories that have reported continuing transmission of Zika virus by mosquitoes to date. Zika can cause birth defects, including a devastating syndrome known as microcephaly in which babies are born with unusually small heads and brains.

According to Agence France-Presse, nearly 1,300 babies have been born in Brazil with the irreversible defect since Zika began circulating there last year.

Brazilian authorities have confirmed that the Olympics will be held in Rio in August, as scheduled. This is despite a petition to the World Health Organisation (WHO) signed by more than 100 prominent doctors and scientists, who called for the event to be postponed or moved to another city.

Thai Disease Control Department director-general Dr Amnuay Gajeena said athletes would take preventive measures, such as by applying mosquito repellent power or cream.

"They will have to undergo health checks both before and after their Olympic Games trip," he said.

He believes that when the number of staff is included, it is likely that more than 100 Thais will head to Brazil for the huge sport event.

Asked about the situation in Thailand, Amnuay said eight villages in Udon Thani's Sang Com district were declared a "red zone" over the Zika threat because a man from the district was found to have contracted the virus. "His infection was diagnosed on May 22 while he was in Taiwan," he said. His office has stepped up moves to counter the disease in Udon.

Udon Thani public health chief Dr Smit Prasunnakarn said two pregnant women were found to have contracted the virus but showed no symptoms. "Ultrasound shows foetus development is normal. We will constantly monitor their conditions. Psychiatrists are also on hand," he said.

WHO has classified Thailand and the Philippines as countries with "sporadic transmission" of Zika, as opposed to most countries in South America and the Caribbean which have seen "increasing or widespread transmission." Indonesia, Malaysia, and Cambodia have not made the list. Singapore last month became the latest country in Asean to be hit by the virus while Vietnam reported its first cases in February.

Thailand - EDITORIAL: Tracking you down... for safety!

Thai Immigration Pattaya / Chonburi

 .

The new immigration form mandating foreign nationals disclose various personal details is intrusive, much like distrusting parents tracking their children’s smart-phones. Not only do authorities appear to lack subtlety and a clear understanding of how technology works, they also seem to lack the capacity to safely manage and protect the extensive data they are collecting.

.

 Thai Immigration Chiang Mai

.

 At best, they can hope to better “track down” foreigners when problems arise. Though such a move should surprise no one in this age of mass surveillance, perhaps what is hard to swallow for many foreign residents is the utter lack of subtlety – the perception that officials view all foreigners as potential criminals, and possible scapegoats in any legal unpleasantness that might arise.

.

 Bank account numbers will not give authorities access to your money. Knowing what websites you visit and where you hang out sounds more like an awkward first-date script.

.

 Thai Immigration Bangkok

.

 Your licence plate numbers should already be easily accessible for any functioning bureaucracy.
Your social media details are already on the internet – if you were worried about privacy, you should have read the fine print and never signed up to disclose your personal content on the internet in the first place.
.
At worst, the form may invoke fear amongst some alien denizens, who may or may not be deterred from committing any nefarious deeds for fear of being traced. Not exactly the most scientifically proven method of crime-prevention, but fairly standard for authoritarian states throughout time. Human Rights Watch also thinks the form “risks alienating foreign investors and tourists who play a major role in the Thai economy”... which is the standard response to xenophobic polices worldwide.

.

.

What is not pointed out is that xenophobia is the foundation of all immigration policies that exist today, worldwide, and foreign investors already absorb it into their cost-benefit analysis. And as Thailand makes a rather endearing effort to catch up with the modern surveillance states, lives will
not change, nor will they be destroyed any more than usual.

Thailand - Happy Ending

Spa association urges authorities to give them a happy ending.

 The Federation of Thai Spa Associations (FTSPA) is asking the government to crack down on the sexual services on offer at some of the country’s many massage parlors.

FTSPA advisor Apichai Jearadisak noted that many massage parlors are offering sexual services to tourists and damaging the reputation and image of traditional Thai massage parlors and spas. 

.

Spas and traditional Thai massage are one of the big draws for tourists traveling to Thailand, but some visitors might get rubbed the wrong way when they are offered services in the back room that are very different than those that appear on the services list by the door.

 .

The FTSPA also noted that only about a quarter of the spas operating in the country are registered with the appropriate offices, according to the Bangkok Post.

.

Apichai noted that other issues in the industry include giving jobs as Thai masseuses to migrant workers when the spas should focus on maintaining "Thainess" and feature workers trained in traditional Thai techniques. 

 .

Spa professionals across the country would like to see a crackdown on illegal practices but also more safety standards to ensure that visitors have good experiences and keep returning.

Thailand officially enters rainy season!

Wet Days Ahead: Thailand officially enters rainy season!

No more of the hot summer days where your sweat-soaked shirt announced to the world that, yes, you had recently left an air-conditioned space.

.

The driest summer in two decades is over. Thailand officially entered the rainy season on Wednesday, according to a statement from the Thai Meteorological Department.

.

So far this week, Bangkok has experienced only scattered thundershowers. However, heavier rain is expected from Tuesday until Thursday. On the bright side, in between the rain, we get to enjoy breezy temperatures between 32-34 Celsius during the day. 

.

Keep that umbrella nearby though. Regular rainfall is expected from July until the end of the season in October. For the South and East, it’s expected to rain until December.
