Test & Go (2x RT-PCR)
gim12 replied to ThaiVisaCentre's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
if meals are not included does that mean you can leave for meals? since the individual has been around in public for 5 days already allowing that would make sense but it doesnt say if leaving is allowed -
Test & Go (2x RT-PCR)
gim12 replied to ThaiVisaCentre's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
new rules are the same as the old rules=clear as mud, after all this time Thailand still cannot come up with a simple tourist entry policy, at this rate there will still be website issues and "clarifications" being issued 5 years from now -

the "charismatic" police said canes were taken into evidence of the crime, the accused is 82 so imagine that, an 82 yr old with canes i hope the other evidence they claim to have is legit -

Thai tourism won't recover without the Chinese, says top bank analyst
gim12 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
and in addition to the money they bring they can bring in a new virus as well, this idiot analyst ignored where the world -wide virus originated AND where the government covered the outbreak up as long as possible -
right, its only those right wing lunatics that stupidly dont wear masks, meanwhile in the 11/29/21 issue of the NY Post .... "President Joe Biden, who has repeatedly urged Americans to mask up, was captured flouting face-covering rules in Nantucket on Saturday. Photos show Biden wearing a black mask around his neck, leaving his mouth and nose exposed inside Murray’s Toggery Shop on the island — despite a large sign on the door advising shoppers at the clothing store “REQUIRED FACE COVERING."

Round trip plane ticket required?
gim12 replied to sdweller's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
AS I SAID ABOVE "buy it to the cheapest foreign destination" , in other words, an onward ticket, put it on your credit card and later cancel, it costs NOTHING and is cheaper then a rent a ticket. I dont find it fun but I do find cancelling a ticket online is easy, costs nothing, keeps your options open and immigration happy. It is only "expensive" in the fact that you need to have the funds to buy an expensive, but refundable ticket, -

Leisure travellers unlikely to visit Thailand until next year
gim12 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
wrong, thailand will not see tourists until they eliminate the idiotic required hoops to jump through, rip off test expenses, possibility of quarantine even if testing negative, a moronic TP site etc . what do they think, tourists will look at a calendar and decide its time to visit and ignore all the hurdles? -

Thailand Pass helps streamline international arrivals

the statement, TP..streamlines arrival is very accurate, .... ...by eliminating tourists from applying -
so he is concerned about applicants not receiving a QR code, nothing about how hotmail cannot be used (per a UK poster hotmail is popular there) nothing about having to convert jpg to another format, TP wanting a code from the covid vacc form that USA does provide, 60 pages of intelligent complaints about the site and he is concerned about a QR code not being received? UN FNG BELIEVABLE

Round trip plane ticket required?
gim12 replied to sdweller's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
i travel frequently and for all countries I fly into, I buy a fully refundable and changeable return ticket to show the arline and immigration at arrival, i(in other words i buy two one ways, one ticket i will actually use to fly into a country and an expensive refundable that showns a return that i will not use) if my visa is extended or my plans change i can change the return date to show at immigration, I later cancel the ticket and buy an onward ticket from wherever I am, but beware that: a fully refundable AND changeable ticket is expensive so you will need funds and note their cancellation policy use a credit card and buy direct from a MAJOR airline-makes it easier to cancel buy from a major airline-i had a huge hassle getting a refund from air asia you can buy a ticket to the cheapest foreign detstination to show immigration, it doesnt have to be back to your home country, example when i fly into the Phil i show my ticket to guam (a cheaper ticket than back to usa mainland) also, you will have to buy a return ticket in Thailand and the two one way tickets will cost more than a roundtrip but it does give you flexibility there are other ways but this has always worked for me flying into both europe and asia, hope this helped -

i "The life span of humans – opposed to life expectancy, which is a statistical construct – hasn’t really changed much at all" Walter Scheidel https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20181002-how-long-did-ancient-people-live-life-span-versus-longevity i understnd the difference between life expectancy and life span, below states that people are living longer-(2nd paragraph,) regardless my point remains-pension checks and social security are not provided by the "nanny state" but are earned by the recipient https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/lifeexpectancies/articles/howhaslifeexpectancychangedovertime/2015-09-09 often argued that life expectancy across the world has only increased because child mortality has fallen. If this were true, this would mean that we’ve become much better at preventing young children from dying, but have achieved nothing to improve the survival of older children, adolescents and adults. Once past childhood, people would be expected to enjoy the same length of life as they did centuries ago. This, as we will see in the data below, is untrue. Life expectancy has increased at all ages. The average person can expect to live a longer life than in the past, irrespective of what age they are -
