Because it's none of an aliens business, observations only. Facts (2018): 47 out of 1.000 girls aged 15 to 19 become teenage moms, average for South East Asia is 36. Out of 84,578 girls under 20 that gave birth in 2018, 2.559 were between 10 and 14 years old. Source link HERE. Furthermore, village marriages are widely acknowledged, also when under legal age for both consent and marriage. I remember I read something about sex with a girl under 15 not being a wife, it's here... From "National Child Protection Legislation", source link HERE.

Nobody knows it right now, but the details will be published this week, probably Thursday, according to today's news articles. Anutin mentions that the arriving foreigner shall stay a place where he/she ca be contacted.

Too early for replies you can use for a booking as the regulations are not finalized, so answers now will only be presumptions and speculation. And if you wish to hear a presumption, then you might be able to fly in to BKK - if you are fully vaccinated and coming from one of the safe countries on the yet not published list - get a Covid-test and spend one night in Bangkok in an ASQ-hotel, and if the test is negative continue to CNX; but nothing is sure...????

To my knowledge, and agreeing with other posters, common law marriage will not result in alimony in Thailand. It will in my modest opinion be a fine gesture to give the lady in question some cash compensation in her hand for the time that she spent with you, so she has an excellent chance to move on...????

If looked at GNP go-go then bar-income doesn't fill much, if that turnover matters at all. If the total tourism industry is up to 20 percent of GNP, then at least 80 percent is something else - and this something else was 90 percent about a decade ago - so financially how much value create go-go bars, and folks coming to Thailand, or staying here, because of the option, in percentage of the total value of tourism industry; and has that turnover increased linear when tourism increased from about 10 percent of GNP to almost 20 percent? Value of GNP-support is the important matter for the government and their aim for more so-called quality tourists, which to my understanding are better off couples and families, spending a lot of money. To scale the value of red light-industry, we need to know how many of the nearly 40 million arrivals before the Covid-pandemic that came here because of the nightlife - and especially the go-go bar option - and which countries did they come from, and how long time in average they stayed in the kingdom, i.e. hos much money, did the spend? There are probably no crystal clear statistics, only assumption and speculation as answer, apart from there might be some statistic indication if families with children are in the rise, and also if the number of female tourists had increased. Both those number could show if the increased number of tourists is due to couples and families, rather than single gentlemen; i.e. I'm presuming that single gentlemen are more likely to use the go-go bar option than coming entirely to enjoy dining in the increasing number of Michelin-star gourmet restaurants, but I might of course be mistaken.... I think at least some go-go bars will survive, but the number might be decreasing in certain areas where the authorities will try to change the tourists destination's attractions to become a family resort. However, if that fails it might over time slowly revert to the old well proven and well working business plan...???? I can imagine that post covid amazing Thailand might become different, and also the nightlife, at least for a beginning, while in some areas the nightlife might end as almost business as usual - that might be areas that also before the lockdown had a smaller number number of gogo bars and typical lady-bars, but rather a more party stile nightlife with freelancers - perhaps clubs and parties are more a the definition of the future, with less visual flesh market...????

€12,000 is around 450,000 baht, and if divided by 15 years it would be 30,000 baht per year! I know many Isaan farmers that would love to employ "rice cultivation" staff for 30,000 baht per year. The minimum wage is about 325 baht per day - variates little from province to province, and some border crossing "rice cultivation" migrant worker staff might be paid slightly less - so based on Thai minimum salary, when we talk about Thais, with typically 26-27 working days a month it's around 8,500 baht per month, so on a year it's in the level of 100,000 baht. 5 years would be a more appropriate figure, and if that's net after traveling expenses, it's still a great income...???? The €4,000 salary equals about 150,000 baht, so even that is a good paycheck to bring home...????

17th October Samui +8 new cases Phangan +3 new case Koh Tao, no new cases

I'm more afraid of getting old with kind of long lasting handicap - could be dementia or Alzheimer's - so I cannot take care of myself, so indirectly I'm afraid of dying...????

No, not at the moment. To exit Samui with check-in to LHR and international transit in BKK you need to buy a Bangkok Airways code share ticket. To return and get to Samui in transit in BKK, you will under the present rules need a code share ticket (all in one ticket), and you shall book one of the special three daily 5xxx flights. However, things might change from November 1st when you might be able to enter Thailand without quarantine when fully vaccinated. However, at the moment it seems like you need 1 night in an ASQ hotel, which then will be in Bangkok, if you buy separate tickets instead of a Bangkok Airways code share ticket. The new regulations from November 1st are not yet clearly specified, so things might become different...????

I didn't need a quarantine to gain weight during the Covid-period, perhaps it's an unknown side effect caused by the pandemic...????

Thailand's healthcare system is actually quite good, and I compares with number three on the list, I prefers the Thai system...????

Updated list per 15th October...

Now when getting closer to some more opening of amazing Thailand, some might be interested in what Chaweng - where there used to be lots of activity, and life, and parties - actually looks like now, where numerous hotels begin to clean up and make their premises ready for massive tourist arrivals. I didn't get time the a healthy exercise by walking down the beach road with a camera - I could however do with a few less Covid gourmet kilos, so I should consider to do that - but some frames from my dash cam might give you an impression of the status of the well know beach road without tourism, but also without hanging wires and instead "green" environment friendly solar powered new street lights...???? Starting from Bar Solo/Soi solo going from north to south (one way street)...

13 years back now with the 14 years old girl and two children, 12 years ago with the 13 years old girl. As I don't live in a rural village, I'm not up to date about what's happening right now up there. However, it's my impression - mainly from what I learned from my clever girlfriend - that there can be quite huge differences in "usual behavior" from one village to another. So in one village girls might be older - like around 15 years old or elder - whilst in another village a 15 years old girl is considered weird if she is not already mum and/or village married. I was guest at a village wedding 10 years ago between a 15 year old girl and an about double as old man. We had a just 16 year old girl as combined live-in nanny and maid in 2008, and she was considered very weird in her home village. The mentioned 14 year old girl with two children was a cousin to the nanny that she brought down to the place where I live to seek work, after the nanny had been on a short holiday trip back up to her rural Isaan village. The 14 year old girl had before been working in Pattaya to support her children, but didn't fancy it, and went home. When she came down with our nanny, she stayed one night with her, and then moved out to a placed that she had been recommended for work, but she neither liked it there either, and traveled back home after a few days. The 13 year old girl had finished school P6 as 12 years old and should be a domestic worker somewhere. By that time the before mentioned 16 year old girl luckily had decided to continue school - we had arranged for her in Sunday school by one of the temples, to prepare her for further education - so we agreed to take care of the 12-13 year old girl as nanny in January 2009, she would anyway be sent to work somewhere by her mom, who wanted a one off payment of 500 baht (for more lao khao) for releasing her birth certificate as ID, the girl had no ID-card. After a few months the girl would like to visit har mom and village for Songkran, and we arranged for her to travel up there in a car with other people heading home. Exactly what happened up there I don't know, but I think her mom got her fixed up with a man from a neighboring village, she never came back to us; I was little later told that she had become pregnant, and next time I was up Isaan and passed her village I saw her, very pregnant by that time and not yet 14.

It's the tessa ban office thai issues birth certificates and house books, the amphor issues an ID-card based on the tessa ban's registration. The tessa ban office in the town connected to your wife's birth place would be the one to consult, eventual the tessa ban office where your wife is registered in a house book. I got a spelling error changed on my daughter's birth certificate made in the tessa ban office where she is registered in house book.
