    Of course it´s a typo. As you can see it stands 2,20 pm as arrival time. You really think it took over 12 hour to get to him? Did you also read that he fell at the North Pole?

    A typo is when it was done without intent. It may have been done intentionally but in error. I constantly see A.M. and P.M. misused here, such as 'OPEN 12 A.M.-12 P.M.' Best to double check those flight reservations too.

    The report also states 

     

    However, those who are unable to return home due to lack of flights or other circumstances in their home country must present a letter from their home country’s embassy or consulate in Thailand requesting that the foreign be allowed to continue to temporarily stay in the Kingdom, Gen Pornchai added."

     

      So, as long as your Embassy issues you a letter, anyone should be able to stay for an extendable 30 days 

    You will likely have to get an updated letter from the embassy every month before returning to immigration. That would be troubling even if you did reside in Bangkok.

  3. TAT gets an occupancy rate by measuring the rooms available and those rented. So if 40 of 50 hotels are closed, only the 10 still open are counted. A 70% rate of those available rooms would be a true rate of occupancy for all hotels of around 15%. Many hoteld might appear open but have closed off a number of floors and are offering only a portion of their rooms for rent. Or so I have read.

  4. Target long-stay visitors. Free 90-day visas with one renewal for 1900b. How many American retirees would love to escape COVID Central this coming winter? A 2-week quarantine would be a picnic. COVID insurance? It might be useful during quarantine but then the tourist is cleared into a country with no C-19 cases. Sell ir upon arrival, good for one month, for 1,000b. A million visitors raises one billion baht. Should cover the handful of cases found, especially as most by far will have no serious consequences.

    Welcome to liberal utopia - dams collapse, crime is rampant, illegals everywhere, and bushfires abound - because the environment is more important than normal people.

     

    All blamed on politics. I'll keep that in mind as I read about Texas illegals, Oklahoma prairie fires, Kansas tornadoes, Mississippi flooding, Louisiana sinking into the gulf, Florida crime, Carolina hurricanes. It is surprising to see Trump defined as a liberal.

    If tourists are restricted in where they can travel, they quite simply won't come.

     

    No rebound, not even a "dead cat bounce"!

     

    "These were the need to Rebuild, Rebalance, Refresh, Reboot and Rebound" in the tourism sector. "

     

    An exercise in clutching at straws.

    Not true in all cases. Particularly in the Caribbean, tourists know it's best not to leave the resort. Same with seaside resort towns in Mexico.

    Fifty-four Celsius is pretty hot, but to put that into context, there are claims that the Germans, on their approach to Stalingrad, were encountering temperatures of 53 Celsius on the Russian steppes "in the sun". So maybe not so unusual.

    That's why air temps are taken in the shade. You can fry an egg on the sidewalk in the sun. But the Germans were going from the frying pan into the fire and ice.

  8. Beware Trump claiming 'widespread mail-in vote fraud' and ordering the seizure of the piled up ballots, thereby throwing into question the legitimacy of the election, no matter who leads in the count. He has already said the election should be delayed until COVID-19 has been brought under control and in-person balloting can be carried out. This would obviously be years down the road.
