20 million is not enough. No way. What if you live to a hundred?

Until Thailand sweeps away all these oppressive restrictions right across the board including immigration less than 1% of 2019 arrival numbers will sweep through the doors at Suvarnabhumbi

Rubbish. Try sticking with the region SEA which other country is wide open? Thailand only

Yes, I agree with you. Things are getting tougher and tougher every year for retirees with more and more requirements.

 

If I had known, I wouldn't have come to Thailand either. Unfortunately, some of us still have commitments in Thailand and can't really pack up and leave.

 

Best of luck in your new country.

Nonsense. Take your family back to first world! And give them a better life. Where their is a will there is a way 

Reality is while every man and his dog threaten to leave most never do. To much in love with Los

Yeah better see a doctor. Will do it today

Hi I have red spots on my shoulder and it's spread across my chest as well. They are very itchy and been there a month or so. I don't have any allergies 

Any ideas about what cream to use? 

I'm using sanobet N but it's not doing anything

Of course It's not arduous, in that context. It is ,however, discouraging to many people on learning that their first night will cost 4x as much as "normal".

We can be pretty certain now that no boozers will be open this year in Pattaya.

 

Common sense should indicate restaurants will now get the green light on December 1st  and general bars probably in January/February 2022

 

People say Thailand cant afford to miss another high season. Utter nonsense simply because Thailand is still sat on around $244 Billion of foreign currency reserves literally only $14 Billion below the all time high

 

I agree Thai people involved in the tourist industry wont give two hoots about those numbers, but this sadly is the reality

 

Thailand doesnt particularly need that tourist Dollar and these restrictions are all about "face"

Resteraunts and beach vendors have never stopped serving here in Jomtien and they not even hiding it.

Sorry, if you cannot purchase alcohol in pubs and bars the curfew / ban has not been lifted.

 

It just means you can enjoy a beer with a burger or steak. Big deal. Can do that at home.

Your totally missing the point.
