Thailand Thanks Myanmar for Drug Lord’s Extradition

And nobody wearing masks! -
Some here may remember when we had to pay B500 at a special wicket before checking in when leaving. This scheme puts a lot of extra work on the airlines. IF it's real medical & accident coverage & the need for separate cover goes away, then it's sure worth it to add ten bucks to the price of an int'l ticket.

The do-nothing, business-as-usual trough changes hands. Nothing to see here.

Really, only one metric counts. We're getting ~125 deaths from Covid per day. In the years before Covid, did we have that many excess deaths from flu? Certainly never heard of them. Masks are not 'Covid theatre'. Along with vaxx, they're the only thing that works. I see an awful lot of people without them these days--I think it's terribly disrespectful of others.

Glass is better for the planet. But a good filter is the best. We rotate glass carafes in the fridge.

90-day report & Songkran
unblocktheplanet replied to unblocktheplanet's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Jack, you posted in 11th, I on 12th. I got approval this morning, too. And lost those 8 days, as approval was calculated from the date of application as OPs have also reported. It is what it is, eh. This was only my second online. Last time, I was nervous enough to mail, too. CW simply ignored my mail which means I lost the docs & postage, nothing more. I guess I'll put more trust in the devas next time, though it might all fall apart anyhow. -

90-day report & Songkran

Thank you, Joe. Was not aware of the 7 day advance rule by Post. Fingers crossed they'll get busy Monday & process me like cheese. (Jeez!) -
90-day report & Songkran
unblocktheplanet replied to unblocktheplanet's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Thanks, Joe, for keeping your finger on the pulse! Yes, working today, Sunday, but my application still shows 'pending'--no surprise. For clarification, Immigration doesn't count 90-day reports by Post by the postmarked date? IOW, I can't send EMS on the due date & have it accepted? In your considerable experience, if not approved by Tuesday 19th (report due 20th), should I file online again. Or is this just likely to confuse them? Believe me, I won't be cheap about those extra days again! Complaint Dept (where nobody listens): Of course, 90-day approvals should extend from the last approval not from the new date filed! But logic is just too much to ask, eh! -
Expert Warns Covid Cases Post Songkran Could Triple
unblocktheplanet replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Vietnam was mentioned. Do they test proactively & efficiently? South Korea was, I believe, seeing something like 600k/day. Here, we'll never know, for two reasons. Limited testing, plus fear of reporting ATKs due to uncertain official responce. -
90-day report & Songkran
unblocktheplanet replied to unblocktheplanet's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Saturday, still down. Working for anyone? Will some kind person suggest a strategy to beat Apr 20? 1) IF possible, refile 90day online on Monday? 2) IF not, Thailand Post? 3) Have reported Apr 12. Hope for the best? (Unlikely I would be rejected as all info was the same as last successful online report, touch wood.) -
Is a dry Songkran good or bad news for Thailand?

Look, it's all about Covid. This is not irony: Covid thrives on fun. -
Immigration closure for Songkran?
unblocktheplanet replied to JTXR's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
TM47 site was crashed as of 9am Friday 15th. Guess too many people filed over Songkran & there was no one to keep the website going over new year. Schiesse! -

Immigration closure for Songkran?
unblocktheplanet replied to JTXR's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I was, perhaps stupidly, having lived here a long time, trying to be thrifty with the advance. 15 days early equals 60 days a year, 3/4 of an extra report! Anyway, I have proof I filed so that may keep me in the good books. I think I'll report again on 19th if I haven't gotten approval. Foolish to think some poor grunt would be manning the helm...
