  1. You can't quarantine in HH because it's outside the 2 hour zone, so stands to reason hotels won't have many tourists apart from people living in Thailand
  2. So can we agree that generating QR codes linked to government websites, photo ID, ID numbers, and Passport numbers, and then managing to alter one's appearance is impossible then?? ????????????
  3. Okay then. Tell me how you'd do it then. On my vaccine cert there is the usual information about the type and date of the vaccine. There is also my picture. There is also my ID number. There is also my passport number. There is also a QR code. Scan the QR code and it goes directly to the government MOH website for electronic validation, where all the above information is available to view. So what's the way round all that then?
  4. Jeez. What a load of rubbish. Another reminder of why this forum is dead.
  5. Try letting more than the current 70 nationalities in if they want more people
  6. For older folks maybe goals are less important, but if you're younger...... ......5 year plan goals set 100% Seen too many younger guys, by this I mean 30s and 40s, drift through life in Thailand without any apparent aims. Okay for a few years maybe, but not when you wake up at 50 and it's all too late to have the wherewithal to do anything. It's good to have some get up and go about you and not be afraid of some hard work to make your dreams come true.
  7. Report to the police and don't expect anything. Don't go up there.
  8. Life is often about compromise. At today's exchange rate I'm earning 235k Baht a month. If I got this salary in Thailand for sure I'd be there, but I don't so I'm not. But I believe it's worth it so we can have a better future in Thailand later. The grass isn't always greener.
  9. If anything, if you allowed for population difference, today's figures for deaths in Thailand are far worse than anything India had. 300+ dead in Thailand equates to 6000+ dead in India. 20k cases = 400k cases and so on....
  10. Due to baht depreciation and a payrise, salary now at 235k a month. Yep, don't miss the Thai school.
  11. https://www.freemovement.org.uk/how-to-apply-for-a-visa-as-the-parent-of-a-child-in-the-uk/ So I just found this which would suggest that the parent route is not an option as we're still in a relationship, although we don't live together: As stated in the Home Office guidance on this visa: The parent route is not for couples with a child who are in a continuing genuine and subsisting partner relationship together. Applicants in this position must apply under the partner route where, or when, they are eligible to do so, or under the private life route. An applicant cannot apply under the parent route if they are or will be eligible to apply under the partner route, So does that mean we'd have to all go together to the UK, and if so, I have to remain in the UK?
  12. I'm kind of confused about it. I'd happily have her apply as a spouse, but for sure that would be misreprenting the situation as we don't plan to live together in the UK. I'd continue where I am and visit regularly. I don't qualify as a UK resident. I know that people can apply as a parent if the children are British and under 18 because I was reading about it on the UK. gov website, but I'm just trying to work out how they do it in practice and how it all works.
  13. Looking for my wife to move with my children to the UK. I won't be going as I work in the Gulf. 1) is this doable? 2) would be going the savings route so can the money be in my bank account in the UK, or does it have to be in her bank account in Thailand, or something else? 3) do the children have to be living in the UK before she applies or can they all go at the same time? Kids are British, will be 15+16. We're still together but haven't lived together properly for 3 years as I've been in the Gulf. Does that even matter as she'd be applying as a parent? TIATVF.
  14. Absolutely a good time to travel. Pictures are of the Emerald Cave and beach just next to it in Koh Mook, Trang province in January It's normally heaving. We were the only people there. A fantastic time to have a place to yourself.
  15. I'd still do Phuket if possible. And yes, it would be worth it. Still better than ASQ in Bangkok.
  16. 1) Being double jabbed is normal for millions already. For me, it's a simple case of showing an app on my phone, or printing off the PDF copy to show at check-in. This is the way things will be from now on. Don't like it. Don't travel 2) Ditto PCR. Don't like it. Don't travel. Until everyone has the vaccine, it's the responsible thing to do.
  17. Normal to me is when I can buy a ticket, jump on a plane and be in Thailand the next day, with no ASQ, no quarantine. I imagine at some point it will be a case of showing you're double jabbed and maybe a PCR. I'm okay with that. I can't see Thailand being at that point for at least a year. I hope I'm wrong though. My country still isn't even eligible for the Sandbox, so there's a long way to go yet.
  18. Nah, he's gonna sort everything out and fix the country.
