Never mind the fare question, did anyone bother to read the article and pick out this gem;

The government has to make a final decision before the country’s airspace could be open, Chula said. But it does not mean an all-out opening for air travelers, since only business people would be allowed to take the flights under the so-called travel bubble proposals, he added.

So unless you are a business traveler you are stuck in Thailand until they decide to let you leave

Do these muppets actually believe that any tourists will return to Thailand if they are not guaranteed the ability to leave

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me  

Business delegations first !

What about all of us that have been trapped here since May

What is this Hotel California ?:

Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax", said the night man
"We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave"

And the fact you have driven 20-30km with the kids in tow to be denied the entry you were expecting at the gate. It would be hard to stand on principle with a disappointed family crying behind you.... but you have been cheated of course.

In these types of situations I am not about to disappoint the family.  I go and I sit in the car and let them enjoy "their " country.  They didn't choose to live in such a xenophobic country, that was an unlucky accident of birth

There will be  plenty of out patient care

And boy are you lucky that it will be at PIH, they have an excellent physio therapy department, that actually understands what physical therapy is all about.  As opposed to the department at Bangkok Hospital, Pattaya who are clueless.

 I was there one morning after doing my elephant tricks for the "therapist" I was icing down my knee when the doctor in charge asked why I was doing that, and I replied  I am self medicating because your people are too stupid to understand that you heat before, and cool after, the PT session 

Just because they advertise it with the company there is nothing requiring the buyer to take the company also

As stated above, the Land Office will accept the transfer from the company so long as the company is "up-to-date" and the relevant paperwork is filed with the Land Office

Most times, buyers and sellers agree to split the transfer fees, if the seller in this case will not, then walk away, there are plenty of houses for sale here 

The company route is only advantageous to the seller in this case, since selling the company with the house will save them any land transfer fees, the whole reason for Thais to own companies, not so that foreigners can control property as most believe 

You have to download LINE for PC, in order to use the QR code from your phone to access your account via a laptop / PC

That way you technically you don't have LINE on two devices, since the PC version is not a stand alone program and can only use your phone LINE account

This has been done solely for the gratification of the President.

The personification of the me, me, me, culture

I wonder how it feels knowing that your Commander in Chief could care less about your life 

Unless you can afford to purchase teak, my experience is that we have super termites here in Thailand and they have a voracious appetite and no amount of pest control will slow them down.  After five years, gave up and got rid of all the wood that had not already been eaten and went totally metal and tile

So Trump is going to start up the rallies again. On the one hand, if you want to attend, you have to sign a disclaimer to the effect that you won't sue the Trump campaign if you come down with Covid. 

Fact checked,  absolutely correct:

By attending the Rally, you and any guests voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and agree not to hold Donald J.

Its nothing to do with Lazada if a vendor advertises stock they dont have.

If 7-11 doesn't have Coke in stock, do you blame Coca Cola or 7-11 ?

I will save then a lot of time

The Customs Department failed to coordinate with Bureau of Disease Control and Veterinary Services and allowed the transshipment of Zebras through Thailand with eventual destination of China

So what's to investigate ? 

We will see just how good this is for those industries when there are no tourists coming to change their currency into over priced Thai Baht

I can guarantee you the rich Thais sure as heck are not going to be purchasing Thai Baht

The risk then that they may axe your account when it reaches the expiry date.

If you can't remember to top up your phone via online banking with a Thai bank account then suffer the consequences when they "axe" your account

I know when my license expires, when my visa expires, so I also know when my mobile plan expires.  And even overseas I can top it up using either my SCB or Bangkok Bank account. 

DTAC will extend my validity for up to 365 days at a cost of 2 Baht per month, and other providers provide similar options, so for 24 Baht per year it's not too much for the peace of mind so my number remains valid

But the planes will be leased rather than owned I imagine, seizing them wouldn't do any good surely?

What make you think that Thai International can afford to lease anything ?

And if you were the lessee would you trust Thai to pay the rental !

Why are you mentioning immigration office? Surely this is a Thai lands titled office matter?

Typo

Depends upon the Land Office you have to deal with :

Quote

There is nothing there is stated that restricts the grants of such usufructs. However, like all other rights in relation to property, it must be noted once again that the registration of such a right is upon the discretion of the Land Officer at the Land Department and may vary between locations. It is advisable that you contact a Lawyer or Solicitor to discuss your options in regards to you specific circumstances.

 This is Thailand where every government office is it's own little fiefdom
