They would either be in Thailand with their kids or the kids would be elsewhere with the parent. You conveniently edited your comment after your first outburst, eh? Good for you...

Popular Post emptypockets Posted March 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2020 6 hours ago, Call said: Just to compare, 934 cases and 4 dead so far in the corona flu. Approx 25.000 dead in traffic accidents a year. This comparison is flawed. The number of deaths from COVID 19 will be in addition to deaths from the road toll, seasonal flu and other factors. I know what you are getting at but saying one is less important than the other doesn't make a lot of sense. What happens when the deaths from COVID reaches 100,000? Do we then say 20,000 road deaths is insignificant? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kids parents are starting to arrive back in the villages and will stay with their kids and parents over 70. Staying at home will become irrelevant. The virus is coming to their home, no need to go out to be exposed. This is going to be a monumental disaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trolleen Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Yes 10-15 years ago we could call Thailand nice and some kind of exotic country. Today? 1. Pollution 2. Traffic gems . Too many cars 3. Beaches are not that good if they want present to people. Just exempl if you see the pictures of beaches in Hua Hin they look nice big and clean. Reality is different. People must have a car to drive around 50km from HUA Hin to see nice and beautiful beaches. 4.prices on everything rises almost every months. More........

I’m not a tourist, I live here. The reality of permission to stay is rearing it's ugly head. Sure, you live here, 12 months at a time for as long as your permission to stay is granted. That should not come as a surprise. We all know that, but some of us get a little too comfortable with the thought that it could never happen to me. I think the work permit exemption makes sense as governments want the economy to continue. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trolleen Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Will get back. But it will take from 6 moths to one year. The government announced presently that they have food garanti for everyone in 3 months time. Later one people must take care of them self. Just example 25 chicken egg cost in maha sarakam ( north east issan) around 100 baht. In Rayon 200baht. Today.

ChoakMyDee Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 8 hours ago, Misterwhisper said: The implications are painfully clear here. Foreigners who have been biding their time in Thailand living on visa runs every 3 months and who never got themselves a proper work permit will be able to leave the country next time their visa is up, but not be able to return. And since the borders are now closed, I assume that Thai embassies and consulates anywhere also will no longer issue new visas if an applicant cannot present convincing documentation why their travel to Thailand is necessary. The next few weeks will see a sharp decline in foreign resident numbers, primarily people who have abused the system, often enough for years on end. What are you on about? Foreigners who never got themselves a proper work permit? I never got one because I have never worked in Thailand. I've been entering on a marriage visa. I haven't been gaming the system at all. I've been using properly obtained visas for years. Not every foreigner coming to Thailand is working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wondered about the special privileges The Elite Visa had and now I know that in times where desperate measures are put in place by the government here, the visa is worthless as a guarantee to return. Just like the rest of us on regular long term Visa's or extensions, if your not already here you can not get in. Sorry to hear people will be separated from families and their homes. Only time will tell what will occur with those of us still here. Be safe folks. Try to relax..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RotBenz8888 Posted March 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2020 Been in Thailand for nearly 20 years, thai wife, kids, learnt the language etc. But no matter how hard i try i will never be accepted as a fellow human. Always known it, but today it became very obvious. Only a Non immigration family visa and young children to take care of??? Good bye! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said only essential people movements between provinces.. But knowing Thais they will do as they please if transport is running, they say they will set-up road blocks to check the flow. Why not man the inter-provincial transport terminals with police checking people before they board the bus, what are they going to do with someone mid-route that shouldn't have traveled?

I live in the countryside in the middle of rice fields and heveas plantations. My lung and heart capacities are in excellent condition, according to the last encephalogram and the radio of my lungs made a fortnight ago at the public hospital in Udon Thani. I am not diabetic or fat, which my bike appreciates, moreover When I climb Phupalek, 4.8 km at 10% average, I arrive at the top with pulsations at 115/120, so very below my maximum allowed which is, I remind you: 220 minus my age (71 ) = 149 I'm 72, don't smoke, and don't drink and have a very healthy diet. I was exercising twice a day - resistance training in the morning and an aerobics class in the afternoon - until I decided that a personal lockdown was my best option. I've been in lockdown since Monday afternoon. I've been getting a flu shot for years. I had all the childhood diseases - measles, mumps, chickenpox (and shingles later in life - terrible!). I've had the 'normal' flu many times. We all have to make our choices in life. I am attaching a news article that I think you will find of interest. I think us older folks have to face the fact that our bodies wear out no matter what we do.
