Popular Post LivinginKata Posted May 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2020 Who decides 'fit to travel' criteria. Just a temperature check ? Almost worthless. Would need a COVID test kit. Never going to happen. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post madmitch Posted May 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2020 a great example of the lack of forethought that we see so often here. Things are just not properly thought through, and that's why there's so much flip-flopping at all levels of Thai Government. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never going to happen. Has to be screened or self quarantine. Probably a visit to the village headman saying you have self quarantined for 14 days will suffice?

natway09 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Half closing the door after the horse has bolted. They really stuffed this one up, but I understand the people. Imagine, no money, no job, stuck on the island, landlord will not reduce rent & they can go back to Nakhon anywhere & stay on the land,,, of course the mass exodus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was supposed to be going to Morrocco next week, there they need a Certificate of Entitlement to leave their home. If Thai government had taken the same approach there wouldn't be a problem leaving Phuket, or anywhere else, would there. Everyone would be more than happy with the situation.

thaisail Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 We have lived in Phuket for 13 years and now our family wants to move to Chiang Khan. My Thai wife built a small one room bungalow on her rice farm during the New Years and we have electricity and water from our well pump. We have an electric meter on the main road in front of the driveway onto the rice farm. We want to drive from our house in Phuket to our small bungalow in Chiang Khan but the "fit to travel" form required by the government https://phuket.depa.cloud/inform.php requires a Thai address for the destination and to get that, we have to get a house book. To get the house book we need a drawing of the house by the contractor and permission from the village chief and go to the Ampur to apply for a house book. All we have is an electric bill which is mailed to our house in Phuket and we have paid the electric bill for one year already since we installed the well pump. How difficult will it be to make the trip to Chiang Khan assuming that we get the "fit to travel" form? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
