There are so many inconsistencies in all the rules, regulations and the bending of the same, the entire circus is one big joke.

Now that rings a bell. ????

That being the case, the so-called "Sandbox" racket should be terminated and the compulsary Covid Insurance premiums should be reduced for vaccinated arrivals. 

Insurance premiums are always calculated based on risk. So consideration should be given to us who are vaccinated, because even in the event of being infected, the vaccinated individuals rarely require hospitalisation and recover quickly. This is now medically established.

Now please turn off your phones while we torture him for a shsre of the spoils.

Until they demonstrate respect for both the Thai people, and the tourists who comprised the earlier large numbers, the industry is doomed. The PM is deluded.

"Quality Tourists" ... what an insult. 

There's one thing that could save Thailand, and that's another virus:

bovine spongiform encephalopathy, otherwise known as 'Mad Cows Disease'.

Prayut needs to keep it looking bad because needs the excuse to ban gatherings of more than 5. 

With a Prime minister who hates foreigners, seriously, we can not expect better. 

That **** who kicked him is the achetypal Thai coward.

Watch your back folks, this is the real deal. ????

Until they embrace the concept of 'Respect', .... the future will remain grim.

Thai police bid for positions in the Highway Traffic Police because they collect money from traffic offenders who don't want to pay fines.

You can bet the hotels participating in the Sandbox as well as the quaratines were NOT selected on merit, but were 'successful bidders'.

Who did they pay to? ????

Who was running the aution?

Well, forcing us into the "Sandbox" thing is a huge put off to me, and a waste of money.. I have zero interest in Phuket. I just need to return to my town in Nakhon Sawan province, where I can self isolate for two weeks. I have arranged for secure, private transport from the airport to my door, and friends will do my shopping for me. Where is the harm in that?

...except that the boss and his cronies won't make any money on that.

I am stranded in the Philippines where we as foreigners have equal status on this issue. There was no adminastrative bull**** looking to see if I counted as a human being, or whatever. I registered with my age and residence, so I could be directed to the appropriate vaccination center. I even nominated my prefered date. 

I received the reply within 24 hours and was scheduled for the first shot (AstraZeneca) within the week. The health checks prior to and after were impressive. It is a good feeling to be in a country whose government shows respect for us. Wonderful, in fact. ????

If they would stop the ASQ Quarantaine ,I see plenty more already fully vaccinated people come to Thailand, what happens now is just for the money, I know Thai people who can do quarantaine at home, so why foreigners cannot ? 

Absolutely !!

Every tourist and/or retiree contributes to the Thai economy. But being forced to spend in Phuket before going elsewhere is nothing short of extortion. 

I rent a premises in Nakhon Sawan province and the community where that is, needs the money every bit as much as the Phuket hotels that paid to be in the so-called "Sandbox". But of course, no one in government gets a kickback if my money is spent in a region that is really suffering.

He will extend and extend, way beyond justification. 

He needs to stop uprisings against himself and his cronies. To him, the pandemic is the best chance he has to protect himself from being dragged out in the street and ripped to shreds, and for a lot more than poor governance over vaccine arrangements.

Period.

Phuket sucks.

I am not remotely interested. My home is in Nakhon Sawan province.

Tourism Authority: Wasn't it the tourism minister who wants to promote high class sex tours to attract and better quality foreigner? Or words to that effect?

(Off topic, but what sort of message does that send to the girls of Thailand? .. something like: "Don't waste time getting an education. Just shave your *******, head down town, and bring in the money. ????

Perhaps they mean Visa Exemption stamps that people arriving without a visa get (nationality allowing). 

 

But, who the h3ll knows what the h3ll they're on about. 

Well they don't. That's for sure. ????

Protests a nail in the coffin of Tourism?

Silly. The bar owners should get out there and join them.

The protests are, if anything, merely a thumb tack compared with Prayut's 6-inch nails.

Not a Satang on anything until Prayut is thrown under a truck.

No, I am not advocating violence, or anything like that. I am simply stating one of my own conditions for investing in the Kingdom. 

Then again, .. he may well choose to throw himself under a truck, when all the beans are spilled.

The entire visa circus has been, is and always will be a total nightmare, "due to administrative issues,"

This should come as no surprise because the majority of Thais are superstitious. Anyone hosting symbols and statuettes of Chinese wealth gods in their home, and actually talking to them, has given over some intellectual capacity to superstition. Superstitious people are easy to manipulate. The government knows this and milks it.

Thais are mostly unaware of Prayut's dilusionary agenda of reforming Thailand as a playground for the rich. To distract the common people he successfully employs fear mongering, placating the woes of their economic hardship, saying that it is for the good of the country. In doing so he entrenches xenophobia.

Their only hope is praying to that little statuette. The more they suffer economic hardship through Prayut's mismanagement, the more they will hate us. Very clever. ????

They have certainly lost the support from passing Farang, as so many of us are locked out.

You would think that keeping Xpats in Thailand would be good

After all we put Millions into the Thai econamy

Who has been help keep the country going in the last few months  Xpats of course

"Millions into the Thai economy" .. yes but not into the pockets of all the lawyers and visa agents and Immigration Police accounts, none of whom benefit directly from general revenue.
