Data point: I paid 180 yesterday for a Thai brand. (For comparison, imported brand was 600.)

DDC Affirms Chinese Travelers Pose Low COVID Risk

Right! Why continue fetishistic testing for a mild respiratory illness? -
DDC Affirms Chinese Travelers Pose Low COVID Risk

Ridiculous. Only a tiny fraction of people who test positive for covid will require hospitalization. Some people are just addicted to the hysteria, it seems… but the sky Is. Not. Falling. -

More changes. Compulsory health insurance now not required

Where does it say anything about being REQUIRED to buy, or being refused entry? -

Your racial purity test is disgusting. Get a grip. -
Thailand Opens to All Visitors, Recommends Health Insurance
tai4de2 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I read the quoted article as being about *inbound* travelers to China. The sentence about how this benefits the traveler clarifies that, at least to me. It’s actually sensible reasoning, IMO. I’m glad Thailand is not overreacting. -

There are plenty of 7-11s in Thailand to dispense paracetamol to “people with just a cough and a fever” and that’s as close to Thailand’s “medical system” as they need to get. -

And Australia along with the other countries implementing restrictions are overreacting. The sky is not falling. -
For LTR visa purposes, does my income, and investment in Thailand, need to be only in my own name? I have only joint tax returns for the past decades, and I’d like e.g. a foreigner-owned condo I buy in Bangkok to be held jointly with me and (Thai) wife. Would those still work as evidence for the LTR wealthy pensioner or wealthy global citizen application?

I’m in Thailand on a visa exemption stamp. At a branch of Bangkok Bank this morning, I asked about opening an account. I can speak Thai well enough to explain that I am American, and not here on any kind of visa. The answer was that he would open one for me with my original passport plus some kind of “certification of the passport” from “the US embassy”. Further conversation didn’t reveal what this is with sufficient precision. Does anyone have any insight into what this refers to, *exactly*? I was imagining maybe a notarized, signed copy of my passport? Or is there a specific kind of certification the US can create? I’ve never heard of this but I am not an expert. Or is this just likely to be wild goose chase, and there’s no actual document that could fulfill this supposed requirement?

This might be compelling for Canadians but I doubt there’s really enough demand from Canadians to sustain this route even seasonally… …Because I don’t think this will be particularly compelling for Americans. There’s still a flight connection so going via YVR doesn’t offer a sufficient time savings. Plus there’s strong competition. EVA, China Airlines, JAL, ANA, Korean, Asiana, Cathay Pacific (well, whatever’s left of them), Malaysia, Singapore, others like Philippine Airlines, and some airlines going via Middle East or Europe, all with one-stops to BKK from numerous USA airports, all similar total flight times to going via YVR. (Well OK Singapore and Malaysia are a few hours longer.) So actually the AC flight enters what looks like quite a crowded field, contrary to the warm and fuzzies in the article.

Why is having omicron become dominant an undesirable thing? The hysteria and zero covid mindset is illogical.

Curious to hear people's thoughts about what happens if/when a covid incarceration occurs when a family is traveling together. For example, a husband/wife traveling together. One or both of them tests positive in the PCR on arrival or the 6-day follow-up, or a test required to board the plane to go home from Thailand. I'm imagining that the couple is separated as they're carted off for incarceration, and will not be allowed to be in hospital together. There are a number of variations on the theme... children separated from parents; or what happens if one person in a couple tests positive and the other doesn't, etc.

All you need to know about Thailand Pass
tai4de2 replied to Jonathan Fairfield's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Conspicuously absent are any definitive statements about precisely what happens when someone tests positive, or someone else on the inbound plane tests positive. Incarceration likely. What about families during said incarceration? For example, a husband and wife traveling together... forcibly separated if one or both test positive? Children from parents? Etc.
