When does the flood of "digital nomads" begin to replace all the tourists they chased away.

Hanging on to these outdated requirements will cost the country a couple of million tourists going forward. Not only do they want to keep the little guys down they want to kick them in the head as well.

I've been to Thailand every year out of the last 15 with the exception of 2021. Always enjoyed myself despite some minor frustrations when I had to deal with ANY governmental agency. Everyday I spent money on goods and services as well as medical costs if needed. Last year I visited 3 other countries and spent my money there after simply complying with required covid testing as I,m triple vaccinated. That said I simply can't bother to jump through their hoops when it just isn't necessary, ie: covid insurance, having to overpay even one day for lodging etc. I passed on visiting this High season and will do the same for as long as they keep up these ridiculous requirements.

A day late and a dollar short as we say In Philadelphia

Although I Would love to visit, I categorically refuse until they drop all the foolish restrictions. I am not going to pay them extra hundreds of dollars for the right to come and spend my money.

Some all you can eat seafood buffets would open the floodgates

Yes, just in time to sweat your brains out while its Springtime in Paris !

Why would anyone in their right mind purchase property in Thailand (other than in support of a Thai person or family} when the price to rent is such a great deal. I've seen several nice homes upcounty for a few hundred dollars a month. No complicated paperwork and very little obligation.

I'm sure they can guarantee caseloads of less that 10,000 per day. Most people will not submit to testing as the "wrong" result all but guarantees one a scarlet letter.

Can anyone tell me the difference between a Visa on Arrival and a 30 day tourist visa ?

Landed in Phuket on 9 January , Tourist Visa is good until 7 February, Return ticket 9 April. Any ides when I should try for "Covid Visa Extension ? Plan to travel to Tak. Will any immigration office do ? Cost ? Thanks for any feedback

AQ is ten days in BKK, is it not ?

Just submitted a Thailand Pass application for my wife who must return to visit her dying Mother. Confusing enough but the thing that really got me was paying 4200 bt ($130.00) for a PCR test at the airport. Thailand really knows how to welcome tourists!

They seem to be relaxing things, like NYE just when everyone is letting their guard down. It will only take a few hundred Omircon cases to have chicken little start mouthing off.

Those guys at Thai are really sharp. They charge more for tickets than all the other airlines and get less customers.
