“Up the creek without a paddle would best decribe it with little chance of getting any protection through an effective vaccine - this is really a very dire situation developing especially with the government more interested in tourism than the health of the nation “
agree 100%
Thailand never wants to address issues with urgent action it’s like the Thai people just stay quiet seems lazy especially how much goes missed here .

With case numbers creeping slowly higher and a distracted Prime Minister who's behaving as if he's got the virus completely under control, Thailand is looking very much like India did back in March. Just pray that it doesn't end up going that way, though the government is doing little to prevent it.
Where is the testing what is the real number ?

If we knew how many actual new cases there are daily and there was enough testing we would know what the future may hold but possibly too much is behind the country as things always are and this time the Thai way will cause the country to pay high price . So many are not just closing businesses but loosing their business’s and no longer employing so many .

Thanks for starting this thread …. I do long open water swims daily and got stung a week ago and twice yesterday . I usually gauge the situation on if I see jellyfish on the beach but both days I got stung saw none but still got stung so it’s time to move to the pool for a few months .

I read it has already peaked so everything should be fine …. The malls are still open right ? Well then how bad could it be really ????

“This has to be grossly underestimated considering the number of tests being done
Until Thailand gets its testing ramped up based on stats from other countries these figures are way off.
There is only one proven way to estimate virus spread and that is extensive random testing, why Thailand is reluctant to test is quite frankly a gross failure or intentional “

Anyone loose electricity❓
I see some parts of Jomtien loose power but it may come from so many using Air conditioning as they stay inside .

Lots of people swimming here at Jomtien and walking on the beach so maybe that closed beach and no swimming applies to just the curfew hours ?

Is swimming allowed at Jomtien beach or laying on the beach as long as you keep 6 feet from others ?
Seems details very unclear if there are any restrictions in this area especially regarding swimming in the ocean but now it is so clear .

Does anyone know the bus schedule from Pattaya bus Station to Eakami and Eakami to Pattaya ?
I walked by a few days ago and the schedule looked different than in normal operation with fewer busses coming and going but everything did looked operational and well run .
I can not find any updated information on the web about schedule changes or if it’s possible to buy tickets in advance to guarantee ticket so you don’t arrive at bus station to travel and find a long wait or busses that are running full or sold out . Thank you for any information, comments or suggestions.

Do you mean Pib?
That was in regard to extension of stay, which is another long story still being sorted out.
it had nothing to do with re-entry on a re-entry permit.
No IO anywhere that I have seen has suggested a need for insurance entering on a re-entry permit.
A re-entry permit refers to an already granted permission to stay. Entering in one does not give any additional time. Your permission to stay period remains exactly the same as it was. As it is an al;ready granted period of stay new requirements don't come into play.
New period of permission to stay is generated by a new entry under a still valid visa, or by an extension of stay. Pib's discussion with CW imm (which may have yielded wrong info, time will tell) was in reference to a future extension of stay.
The Police Order explicitly states that already granted periods of stay are unaffected.
Thanks for that detailed information Sheryl ....

As it sounds like he is voming on a re-entry permit thete is no need to do this.
Coming in on a re-entry does not generate a new permission to stay. He id still under the same permission to stay already granted which the Police Order makes clear is not affected.
Even if IOs at Arrivals start enforcing this on people whose OAs wrre issued prior to the 31st -- which they hopefully will not -- no implication for someone entering on a re-entry permit.

So if someone bought a re entry permit when they got their retirement extension and few months ago and was planning to use their re entry permit to get back in to Thailand worry free after going back to the US for Thanksgiving holiday should they now be worried about being denied entry back into Thailand after their holiday even if they have valid retirement visa extension , valid re entry permit they purchased and stamped in passport , 20,000 baht in cash and over 6 months left on passport before it expires if they don’t buy this insurance ?

I think the question at this point is, what type was your last actual visa before you switched to getting extensions of stay?
If it was an O-A visa, you MIGHT at this point get hit with the insurance requirement post Oct. 31... meaning they would hit people on retirement extensions today who previously had O-A visas. That's not certain, but is looking likely.
If it was some other type of visa like an O or a B or an ED, then at this point, no sign those are going to be targeted, at least, not yet.
Retirement extension was done and at the same time bought for 1000 and had added a re-entry permit in case I wanted to leave country for vacation or any reason and re enter keeping my retirement visa extension valid .

Will this new law possibly stop someone from coming back into Thailand who flew out for a vacation with a valid retirement visa and valid re-entry permit if they arrive after the 31st of October without proof of health insurance and the 20,000 baht in hand that was also mentioned to have if one wanted to be guaranteed re entry ? The requirements for being here along with the exchange rate changes that keep making the Thai baht more expensive to buy seems like it will possibly discourage many from making Thailand their home ?
I am referring to the Re-Entry Permit I paid 1000 baht for when I got my retirement extension so I could travel out of the country and come back with all my current visa’s valid

Any foreigner can be asked at any entry. The probability is low if you are on a long stay visa or extension of stay. Nevertheless, I had 20,000 baht on me when I returned from the US a week ago. I am on a 1 year extension of stay.
Just weigh the trouble and inconvenience of carrying 20,000 baht with the consequences of not having it if asked. If you are just looking for a recommendation then I would recommend Yes. It depends on your risk tolerance.
BTW - I was not asked last week. I’ve never been asked.
Have it on you when coming back in to Thailand no matter what visa , extension or re-entry permit you have when arriving so no chance of having a problem [emoji106] it’s your money so it cost you nothing but if for any reason we’re asked and did not have it that would be hassle so why risk it . -
I was talking to a guy that told me that is what happened to him. Two transfers in one month. Nothing the next month. Visa was denied. You would think immigration would see what happened but not in this case. But remember, all immigration stations do what they want. Hope you make out ok.

Video: No tourists but some of the beaches in Thailand are filthy with trash

Trash and massive amounts of stray dogs barking as Thai people turn their head and say nothing that seems to be the way things are here .
