  1. I have stayed for 5 years on the METV (3 months abroad each year) until Covid started. However, as you correctly stated you need to be careful. In my first year, the immigration officer in BKK gave me a look like I am a serial killer. After my 1st year I entered AND left only via land borders (Nong Khai and Sungai Golock). There are plenty of more options to get your 60 days extension. I usually went to Phu Nam Ron.
  2. Capitalism is driven by supply and demand. Extra fees is a great way to decrease the 'supply' of foreign tourists even more. => Thai Logic
  3. We Foreigners bring disease and crime - That is the message. We don't see a report on Thai criminals, do we?
  4. This is important information. Please try to get some more details on this. If true Phu Nam Ron should be open as well. Thank you!
  5. That used to be my route all the way from Singapore before the pandemic. Please share border details and when and how your last trip went. Thank you!
  6. Typical! The rich Thai business owners exploiting the situation. Hotel prices go up and salaries for staff go down. My girlfriend works at the reception. Had 25k in 2019 and is now offered 18k. Messed up ...
  7. Each of us need to evaluate their own risk to wear a (N95) mask indoors. But the reason Thais are wearing masks outdoors (other than the pollution) is simply fear mongering.
  8. Even in those 30 days. 500k is nothing if something bad is happening
  9. Such A BS. The foreigners are criminals and bring disease, really???? I love Thailand but the government should go to hell.
  10. Another decision that is a slap in the face of most Thai Citizens
  11. Good luck with those Indian tourists. I do not like to generalize as I have worked with good Indian people in the US but Indians from India may be a different story. I remember sitting with my girlfriend at a breakfast buffet in Phuket when a party of 4 Indians refused to get up and did order the staff to serve them. Interestingly, the ethnicities that are disliked by Thai girls the most are Arabs AND Indians. ... No wonder
  12. This is Thai non scientific nonsense. The The BA.4 and BA.5 variants do infect more people than the older omicron variants but they are not more lethal. The reason why we see the hospitals get filled up is just a numbers game. A small percentage of a larger population will yield a larger number of patients.
  13. If your Thai woman does the booking it should all be good
  14. Without doing further research, could you share what it takes to cross in Nong Khai right now. Are border runs possible there to get a stamp as I used to for a 9 month multi entry TV? How do you see the timeline of opening in that regard? Also how about other borders like Phu Nam Ron? Thanks @ubonjoe!
  15. For that cash I can get a passport of New Zealand or Canada as well - Anybody doing that is nuts
  16. Would that entry allow foreigners from Europe or US as well?
  17. As long as the Thai government is trying to milk us like a cash cow => NO
  18. Yes! Despite the clotting risks especially in young women, they do not wanna spend the cash for Pfizer or Moderna. And sinovac, which may be a little inferior but still protective against death, has In Thailand a super bad reputation.
  19. The man is an idiot I agree. However, the quarantine Hotel system is still a cash cow. It would be way better, to be able to isolate at home or at any hotel of your choice.
  20. Nothing to do with dirty but being stupid and careless if you do not wear a mask when you better do
  21. Thailand is a very tolerant society with very friendly people. People like @JustAnotherFarang should stay far away from Thailand and preach somewhere in the bible belt where they belong. To me those "human" (?) beings represent the real scum on this planet! ????
