Chaos at Chaeng Wattana: Tourists queue for extensions as State of Emergency looms

This government care about nearly nothing, and sure not about the tourists or permanent residents in the country. Just a shame how they handle the situation and Prayut, big daddy of everything or better of nothing is responsible. The result of this handling must be: all foreigners avoid to come to Thailand ever! And this must be going around the world. Maybe TAT take pics of the crowed at Immigration for their next campagne: Hub of incompetence for tourists!

In the UK now all you need to do is an email to the Home Office and you get an automatic extension to May 31st. Not that difficult. 

that is why the UK is the UK and thailand is thailand.

thai policies based on the perception that kindness is a sign of weakness.

This is a disaster in the making in many ways.

It only takes a few of those foreigners who have been travelling recently, carrying and spreading it without knowing it (if their symptoms haven't shown) and it will be a huge cluster.

God knows how many of those people lining up at C.W will cop a dose.

 

Then they will go on to infect their Thai families and gfs, and guess who will get the blame? (again)

 

On the other hand, since Thais are led to believe ALL foreigners are carrying and spreading this,

IF by some miracle, NO farangs catch it at C.W, the Thai authorities are going to look like absolute idiots.

 

If this hits the media the Thai public will (or should) be asking a lot of questions of the government.

 

At any rate, you would think 1000s of Thais will be asking WHY the government forced their farang husbands, fathers etc. to congregate like that and therefor put those farangs Thai families at risk.

This is resolved today. Chaeng Wattana Is back to relative normality. They have moved 90 day reporting and tourist visa extensions to Muang Thong Thani. 
I arrived at 7.30am for the non-o extension by marriage stamp (30 days after the application) and was done in 40 minutes and on my way back home. Very well organised and no queues whatsoever. 

Basically what we witnessed  was visa hoarding, where everyone panicked and rushed out to get an extension whether the need was immediate or not.

 

Logic would dictate the numbers would dip as clarifications were made, tourist numbers dissipate and alternate systems are put in to place.
