Eighty percent agreed it is not worth traveling outside Thailand now
dutchweller replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It's either a RAT or a PCR All inbound passengers must provide a negative accepted COVID-19 test result. These tests can be either: A nucleic acid amplification (NAA) test, such as: polymerase chain reaction (PCR, or RT-PCR) test Transcription mediated amplification Loop-mediated isothermal amplification; or a A rapid antigen test (RAT) (also described in some countries as a lateral flow antigen detection test or similar). This must not be confused with a lateral flow antibody detection test. For the purposes of pre-departure testing it must be an antigen test. https://www.health.gov.au/health-alerts/covid-19/international-travel/inbound#predeparture-testing -
Eighty percent agreed it is not worth traveling outside Thailand now
dutchweller replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I found Booking and getting flights EXTREAMLY easy My Wife My Son and Myself are departing Thailand MONDAY PERMANTLY Flying Qantas All the extra precautions were easy to deal with Pre departure Deceleration done online very smooth with Vaccination certs and approvals in minutes Australia only require a RAT test administered at a Clinic with a certificate issued by a doc for entry now (500 Bhat ) each for pre departure testing. Ticket prices were reasonable with Unlimited date changes free of charge if required Cost 48,000 for 3 adults + 110kg of luggage BKK to Brisbane one stop over in SYD ( we choose to spend the day in SYD on layover 7 Hours) but 1 hour layovers are available. Now if you wanted to RETURN to Thailand that is another story. No way would I risk getting a dodgy test and hauled off to a hospital/Quarantine and forced to pay for the pleasurer. Too many hoops, Flip flops, and possibility of getting screwed on the Thai side. I Had a Friend recently get snatched away arriving in Thailand and a False positive Covid test he was FORCED to a Quarantine and charged for his stay until he Tested NEG for 2 or 3 tests over a week.. -
The guy Literally Sped up at a red NO TURN Light while we were following the flow of PEDESTRIANS on a Marked crosswalk Meaning I was walking with a group of people in front of me and this guy came out of a red light turning right. I was very carful but there are some things you don't expect. The guy clearly had no idea or was just indifferent to any road rules or actually wanted to maim or kill someone.. that's just normal here. Accidents are unexpected This guy literally barged his car through a group of people thinking he had rite of way THATS NOT AN ACCIDENT! Bit like the Ahole that mounted a Footpath and killed people who were waiting at the bus stop?

Well me crossing a zebra crossing while a green walk light and a red no turn signal did not help me the Thai guy ran over my foot and broke my toe. Police were more concerned that I might have damaged the "red plate" car when I slammed my hand down on his side panel when screaming in pain. I was expected to pay for "damage" The Driver and the police could give stuff the driver rand a red and struck a pedestrian on a Zebra. The driver even made the excuse that he thought green walking man light ment he was allowed to drive over the Zebra. This is the la k of care, training, honesty that Is dragging this place down. It will always be a Developing 2nd tier..

Motorists in Thailand can now use digital driving licenses
dutchweller replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
How will Somchai hold your license to ransom while you meet him back at the station 4 hours later? You pay 500 baht you go through red light... I once had a fine that I had to pay at the station. After I got the receipt my wife said it said fine for not wareing seatbelt...I was on a motorcycle.. -
To a country where my son can get a proper education from the public schools and I can work. Where I can own property and I don't need to report every 90 days or beg to be allowed to stay every 12 months while dumping money in a bank account I cannot use. Where my wife has gotten a 5 year multi entry visa and working rites with the option of getting PR and then Citizenship at the end ????

We if you must know. My Brother in law is a senior officer in a semi rural station. I know the pay. I also know how at my BIL station Most get <deleted> on the job. Hardly ever show up to work Will not do a scrap of work unless they are bribed to do so. Do plenty of illegal more than the average local because they can. Excuses for all the behavior is not acceptable. Pay is <deleted> but they still BRIBE their way into the force for a reason. It's an easy job that you can get away with most things and can make money on the side. Ànd they will let anyone who has the money join.

This insurance will be as useless. Only good for lining pockets of the Insurers/ sales staff. -
Thai police in massive debt - they owe 270 billion baht
dutchweller replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
No surprises All the police I know are very poorly educated and have in the past had access to any lone they wanted.. Almost all of the loaned money was blown on totally useless garbage. My Brother in law is a senior police in a semi rural town he is in debit up to his eyeballs and has NOTHING to show for it. The Dmax has new wheels and a massive sound system but is falling apart.. The Honda City has new tires and wheels but is falling apart and is never serviced. The house (my wife owns due to her taking over the finances on it ) is falling apart while he lives in it for free.. The family rice farm my wife owns due to the same reason he took out unserviceable lone using the farm as leverage.. BIL is in debit so much his entire salary is used to service his lones. The family of 6 live off the his wifes School teacher salary lucky she is quite smart and practical.. Every time we visit Mum and Dad BIL askes me what he should do to make some money... I have given up trying to help he is a moron and from what I know all his mates at the station are in the same predicament.. Giving these morons access to lone is just stupid but hey when has the government done anything that is not.. -

Anutin declares he's ready to be the next Prime Minister of Thailand

So glad my family and I are leaving. One Clown in one Clown out.. -
Thailand needs to be a high quality tourist destination first!! If you are a High roller Tourist there is far better places to go and be treated with respect, feel valued and relax than Thailand. IMO Thailand needs to: Legalize Weed Legalize Prostitution Relax All laws on Alcohol Legalize Gambling Aim for Mass Tourism Let the Hordes come for fast and free time . Thailand should do what it did best back in the 80-90's a cheap, sleazy and dirty place. There is NO WAY IN HELL Thailand will ever be considered a Top spot for a high roller. If these morons at TAT keep this up Thailand has NO HOPE of recovering! The mentality of Thailand with its Corruption, Lack of accountability when things go wrong due to negligence or out right dishonesty and Total Lack of what a real first class destination is. The must save Face at all cost and never admit wrong doing mentality that is part of a the Thai/Chinese psyche is what will forever stop Thailand being anything close to a high tier Hospitality tourist destination. If TAT think Tourists with money promised a 5 star fault free vacation and receive anything but what they paid for will go away quietly and accept the old Thai Smile and TIT attitude, still pay full price and come back to give them a second chance they are DREAMING!
