It's time for the stick approach now. The carrot approach and explanations as to why people need to be vaccinated has run it's course. All those people are now vaccinated. The remaining recalcitrants need the proverbial stick applied applied to their nether regions to bring them into line with what the community expects of them. If they still choose not to be vaccinated it's absolutely time for ostracism. No access to any public areas including gyms, cinemas, shopping centres, condominiums. They can live like lepers outside the city areas and buy their food at designated roadside stalls. No further extensions to any type of visa's to the unvaccinated needs to be implemented ASAP.  

you would make one hellava dictator.

They just wont stop dreaming.There is sweet F A to attract the very wealthy who have the whole world at their fingertips. These tourism clowns think all the millions of former visitors came for the beautiful culture and beaches which are readily available in many countries..  . Are  they blind or just stupid? Millions came for the fun fun of  people watching enjoying  crowded markets, Abundant street food , vibrant night life . Sure girls and parties. But they have taken the fun out of Thailand with moving markets, changing rules about what you can and cant do anymore in some attempt to make it a place just for families.  The super wealthy will not tolerate the smog the burning season or the rampant corruption and lack of any semblance of democracy. They will not bring their wealth to a country they cannot trust. Sadly It is no longer the land of smiles with so many poor trying just to survive. Of course the elite who never leave Bangkok have no idea of the hardships of the rural poor and flood devastated rice framers. Instead of dreaming up nonsense schemes to attract the rich how about dreaming up things to make people happy . Cut the rules and red tap.e. Make it a welcome mat for middle class expats . Charge a small levy on arrivals to give expats insurance cover to pay hospital expenses instead of health insurance only the rich can afford . If everyone has 800 thousand baht in the bank make them use that to pay medical costs When it runs out use the levy fund until the expat has to leave the country.

In  spite of my rant i am very happy here and surrounded by many Thais who still know how to smile.

Not afraid of dying. Just don't want to be there when it happens

What climate change? It is a natural cycle happening many times over millions of years.

There always has been new strains and allways will be. some worse than others but over the centuries 99% of them are  beat by your normal human immune system. No way will i take some untested experimental drug. Over 8 decades i have survived swine flu, bird flu ,equine  flue bat flu dengue fever and three marriages .I suspect I have survived many more virus attacks it;s just no one named them.

Just clicked on the link you provided. It didn't work, nor did going to the immigration site, clicking on "Online Services" and TM47 90-day Report, fails. Sure, the OP could use online reporting in some parallel universe, but the vast majority of the time since last November the site, along with the mobile app (which when it does work, wrongly shows overstay, inexplicably), is down.

In person works, I've never trusted the mail method, I've used a service in recent months, as going to Muang Thong Thani imm office takes the whole day going and coming and hundreds of baht transit, just not worth it.

 

i pay agent 1500 baht a year and never go to immigration could never get on line to work.

There is 99% recovery rate and a 1% death rate.The world is not ending.
