The only person I ever met who was stupid enough to be a "Thai Elite" member, told me and actually believed himself, that he was jesus. ????????????. He also boasted that he never pays for anything, eventually got deported and still owes me 5000 baht ???? Yes there were a few that got sucked into it thinking that they were somehow superior and going to get special treatment only to find themselves now chucked on the same scrapheap as everyone else.

Oh no no albeit my partner does think so along with all my friends But don’t worry, one day you might find someone looking at you with esteem. It is just like love, it is there somewhere but some are luckier than others I will leave you there and let you agree with yourself...but let’s not forget that criticism is constructive ( I hope you understand) Enjoy Never forget "" Nobody is special" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? - do that many people travel without travel insurance? The requirement for Travel Insurance for Schengen Visa doesn’t stop tourist? Do you travel to Thailand (normally) and just ‘hope’ you won’t become ill or get hurt? The Travel insurance and Health insurance which covers for Covid-19 is easy to come by. Those who are having difficult are just not doing their research. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyx Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Not siding, just ti inform you that the Schengen insurance must cover the applicant for 30.000 euros and the cost starts at 17 euros up to 150 for a year ....not quite the same as the required insurance over here The Schengen insurances cover the coronavirus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That insurance requirement alone will cause MANY people not to consider going to Thailand. What is the alternative? Just let everyone in and let the virus flow back? Think about it will you. If the virus is raging in Thailand, they don't have the health facilities to cope, and it will turn tourists off. Thailand will end up like India a hell zone rife with the virus. They have to open up, but they have to be very careful. I support quarantine and testing at every opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmya123 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 On 7/10/2020 at 8:35 AM, Chiang Mai Bill said: I wonder how unmarried father's carry a birth certificate of their child with them when they travel abroad to prove this for use on their return? Or perhaps it is up to the mother to go to the authorities with the certificate for further processing so that it eventually gets to the immigration officers at Swampy and is available on the day of arrival? Sounds an impossible situation to me! Before Covid 19 pandemic whenever i visited my hometown , for all cases and risks ,although i am married a thai , I carry the copy of my daughter's birth certificate with me during travelling out of Thailand for visa or other issues, and that time too. so , i strongly recommend you should do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost is £198 for 90 days and covers up to US$2,000,000 With a Schengen Visa you are only allowed to stay (in Schengen states) for a maximum of 90 days.
