Are we in a dystopian nightmare?......

More like a nice dream. No traffic, no old guys flopping everywhere, plenty of food places open.

Ground floor has tables for ordering from many restaurants. McDonald's is open. The food sold by weight is open.

Family Marts in pattaya are now open 5am to 10 PM. Have not seen a sign on 7,11 doors yet.

Taxis are a rip off here. Everyone knows that. They're meant to soak tourists. Not designed for frequent use by residents. So get real, OK? This topic is not about taxis. It's not about people with private cars. It's not about people with bikes. It's about baht buses. Comments not related to the baht system are OFF TOPIC and not welcome here.

You could wear a white hazmat suit and gloves. Lol.

What about the 90 day proof of money in the bank? Is there a form to mail in?

Anyway, people do the right thing. Just been watching videos of people suffering in hospital. It aint pretty to say the least. Stay safe, be smart, stay at home as much as possible.

I'm  going to the food courts as long as they're open.

not only tourists. Once that horror has finished, many long-term expats treated like sh** will rethink to stay here. Thai-farang couples may prefer to pass all the hurdles to enable the Thai wifes to move back to the husbands home country and just visit LOS for holidays. 

 

No one expects to be able to stay 1month+ on overstays for free, but in this special situation they could make an exception for lets say 7-10 days (in addition to the anyway 7 day denied exempt stamp which costs 1900 THB). It`s up to a few morons in BKK to pass that order nationwide. Everything can be done within one day, but what you expect from guys who just have "military, military" in their pea-sized brains.

I've lived here 18 years with no problems. 

Most people with the virus will only have symptoms like a cold. No need to panic.

Where are people supposed to eat?

I have an evisa for Cambodia, a few days ago they sent me an email saying Americans and some Europeans were banned for 30 days. I was offered a refund or an extension of the valid date. 

That's a very low fever. Most people won't even know they have the virus.

Both escalators going to Thailand were working Monday February 24.

Anybody been in Vientiane for the water festival? Is it crazy like Thailand?

Much as I dislike keeping large chunks of money in Thai banks, they are a lot safer than having 1,000,000 in the house in cash. One has to ask who else knew the money was there? Many burglaries are the result of inside information after all.

True. I have my retirement money in dollars at Bangkok Bank, waiting for a better rate to move it over to baht.

Which kind of scam would that be? The embassy/consulate get the same amount of money, if they approve the applications or deniy them.

People who get rejected always claim it's a scam, never their fault.
