The IO staff are pretty decent and honest so I think it may work out. The money was out of the account for less than four minutes so it may be OK.

 

Thanks for the input Matzzon

Let´s hope for the best. My IO would accept it too, if there is a sensible explanation. Good Luck! ????

Some ( a lot ? ) have debts to the owner, or manager, mamasan...

They can only leave when debt + interests is fully paid. 

That´s a totally different ball game. Has nothing to do with that they can not stop work because a fee has to be payed for that to happen. What you are talking about is a debt. They always has to be payed.

There are not a lot that have debts, but they might tell you that because it looks better to split it 50/50 with the boss.

Not in all cases whats so ever.

A scam?  Yes sure.  Not all these girls speak good English and are well traveled/experienced.

Lots of them are recruited from their home province by the bar owner or mamasan boss.

They know each others families and may even be related and have been sleeping in a room provided by the bar.  Based upon these relationships, they will not just leave say bye bye and stop work at any time. Instead, to help maintain good standing with the bar for various reasons and help financially, they will convince the suitor to pay a fee for their extended company.

Load of BS! If the bar provides a room for the girls to stay in, that is considered  be included as salary. They all have the full right to stop work at any time for free.

That´s the end of it!

Do try and keep up, everyone knows this - it's always been the way throughout this entire saga.

 

Thais can get on a flight without a COVID test, why do you think so many of them test positive in quarantine?

yes, and if you keep up with the thread before you quote, you would see that I agreed to that already.

[Certificate of residence.]

Yes, times are tough at the moment. Normally I get that paper for free.

According to the rules it will reset the time. However, it will be depending on your capability to talk for your case, and the IO´s mind of the day.

[Paying for company daily or monthly - is there a difference?]

There is no difference, regarding most of the things and facts.

One good thing with company on daily basis can be the possibilities of variation that can give.

The company on a monthly basis can be preferred by many, dur to that it usually means a smaller house keeping and cleansing fee than company-on-demand.

Well that's shocking news! Will the rich hiso's be affected?????

Yes, they will be affected. First they will see less buying power from the people, that leads to lesser profit and income. Many are also working with international affairs, and they will also feel the effect of the global pandemic and closings of many businesses world wide.

However, they are of course in a better position. Just take the CP-guy as an example. even as he distributed masks and gave away he invested in the right places and actually gained ground this year. So, it is like always. Where ever you are in the world, the ones that are or has been successful will have money. The ones that have money will have a better position to withstand a negative trend than the ones with no money.

Nothing specific about Thailand. This is something that will be seen in a global perspective.

You can go ahead and ask Samsung a forth time with the same result. They want you out of their hair and that you buy a new product instead. The guy in the corner has a shop as his livelihood. The factory repair guys are payed for make customers buy new products instead of repairing. Who do you think is going to do the best work, and think about the customer first?

If you look at the original post, this flight contains 41 tourists and 30 Thai returnees.  As mentioned in an earlier post, the Thai returnees do not need a negative COVIS test.

If you read finish before posting, you would easily found out that what you post about already been cleared.

However, I must say that if it´s posted on TVF, does not mean it´s true or facts of any kind. This time it was, and I have already corrected myself.

Jeez...I give up someone else help this guy I give up

 

FYI fit to fly & covid tests are not the same...as you may learn by looking at Foreigners requirements to fly... 3.2 is not 3.3 understand?

Also....NO covid test is not part of fit to fly cert........pandemic or not....Ok stick a fork in me & see I'm done ????

3. At the departure airport, the approved applicant is required to present

3.1 A “Certificate of Entry into the Kingdom of Thailand” issued by The Royal Thai Embassy.

3.2 A Medical certificate with a laboratory result indicating that COVID -19 is not detected, using RT-PCR test, issued no more than 72 hours before departure

3.3 A ‘Fit to Fly Health Certificate’ issued no more than 72 hours before departure

3.4 A Medical insurance covering all expenditures of medical treatment, including COVID-19, while traveling to Thailand in an amount of at least 100,000 USD (The insurance must cover the whole duration of stay in Thailand).

 

No problem. I can read. Just that I find it very hard to believe.

I will correct myself. I am wrong! You have given me information as well as I also found on Thai Airways, the following:

 

Following information is required by foreign nationals:

• Passengers needs to present a health certification at check-in certifying the passenger “pose no risk of being infected by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19)”, with lab test result issued no more than 72 hours prior to departure.
• Passengers needs to have health insurance (in amount of US$ 100,000) that should cover all expenditures of medical treatment while travelling abroad.
• Screenings are held for all arriving passengers
• Passengers are recommended to download the application AOT Airport and report their state of health. Please find the app on App Store here and Google Play here.
• Passengers are encouraged to self isolation. This means that you are allowed to go out when necessary but avoid situations/ places with crowds.
• Keep updated with information from WHO and the Thai Department of Disease Controls.

Following information is required by Thai Nationals returning to Thailand:

• Passengers needs to present a health certification confirming the passenger is fit to fly.
• Passengers needs to present a letter issued by Royal Thai Embassy, Thai Consular Office or Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kingdom of Thailand certifying that the passenger is Thai national returning to Thailand.
• Proceed to follow the recommendations of the Thai Department of Disease Controls on arrival.

Look why is it others job to educate you?

Your the one here that does not know this long time common knowledge & center of debate

 

They only need a simple fit to fly certificate. The lame reasoning by Thai govt is they cannot deny the right for citizens to return

But yet this is not a denial it is a simple requirement made of everyone else to comply with a simple test which again is free in many western countries these days

 

If the Thai govt wants to go this ignorant route then dont allow others to fly with these possibly infected Thai Nationals....BTW: What about pilot, cabin crew etc? Why are they subjected to this nonsense??

 

But here of course written in Thai .... Because it is for Thai's returning home

https://thaiembdc.org/infoforthaisflyinghome/

 

But in case you dont read Thai here is a close translation

The Royal Thai Embassy in Washington, the Royal Thai Embassy in New York, the Royal Thai Embassy in Los Angeles, and the Royal Thai Consulate-General in Chicago were approved to arrange a flight to send Thai nationals back from the United States. Which has prepared flights to choose from 2 methods which are

1. Returned by a flight which is permitted to return to Thailand (repatriation flight)
2. Return by a semi-commercial flight back to Thailand (semi commercial flight)
Conditions for persons able to return to Thailand on a special flight

1. Thai nationals
2. Hold a Thai Passport or Identity Book (CI)
3. Purchasing plane tickets According to the channel and conditions provided
4.Provide a doctor's certificate (Fit-to-Fly health certificate).
5. Go to 14-day quarantine in a designated state or alternative detention facility.

 

 

 

 

 

So, you do not think you have to take a test during a pandemic to get a fit to fly cert? Yes, I do read Thai.

What he is saying & correctly so... is that Thai Nationals returning to Thailand do not need a covid test BEFORE the flight ( which is ridiculously ignorant move by Thai govt) ...Thus possibly infecting others on the plane

 

Ignorance by Thai govt shown & others like Smutcakes just cant see it is any problem at all that a foreigner who tested neg before flight tests positive a few days into Thai quarantine due to exposure on enclosed plane & then has their 100k USD policy drained at the nearest hospital for however long it takes to be cleared if ever. While Thai nationals who were not tested often come up positive once in Thailand & go to the free hospitals....Yeah lets all jump right on that plane ????

 

Thais who can afford to fly internationally can afford to be tested & many countries outside Thailand even test for free

 

 

Sure, it might be like you say and in that case it´s very wrong.

However, all is hearsay in this forum, without a link to government issued information.

Thai returnees are not tested prior to boarding the plane. Foreigners need to have a negative a test before they can board

Where do you have that information? Do you actually mean that they put tested and not tested people on the same plane together?

Ok, I admit that stranger things have happened. Still want a source for that. though.

If it´s true??? I would say that the posters here talk to much rubbish. Please find out and give us the proof that Thai returnees do not need to be tested.

What if one of the foreign passengers has an unknown underlying medical condition, and is taken seriously ill after catching the virus from one of the untested Thai returnees ?

Do you think 14 days quarantine would be of any use ?

What makes you believe that they do not test Thai returnees? Thai returnees are tested and taken to quarantine payed by the state.
