Surat Thani missing?

11-17 April

  My wife is stranded in Isaan when I told her by phone this morning, I will not go to the immigration today the 90 reports being suspended.

Are you sure she answered?

Yes, I saw a copy of the Prayut decision on ThaiVisa.  And you believe it? Of course, it is ridiculous!

And you are sure they know it at Samui Immigration Too? ... Because Prayut said his government will give 5000 Baht to many people,  millions of people believe it and now many understood they will have nothing. Why you do not go to the immigration and have a look for yourself, you are alone it is not so far and you will know for sure and we'll be sure also not to have any problem. You've been in Thailand for eight years, you should have understood that everyone in the police and civil servants here makes their own law...

So mainly to reassure her, I went to the immigration and arrived a few minutes before the one-hour reopening.
Five or six people only were waiting ????... At the opening after a few minutes, no number to take like usual so I go straight to the 90 day counter, I was convinced that the slim girl we all know ☺️ would tell me no trouble please come back in a month. But she took my passport, handed it to the young man with a computer behind her, he returned it in seconds with the next appointment and she handed it to me, next meeting on July 8th. At ten past one I was out. 

And I have to admit that I'm quieter like that. ???? Because I’m afraid that when they will decide to reopen the store it could be jostling in the crowd again.

And for the anecdote, despite the fact that the room was almost empty, a young tourist yelled at the employees, they asked her, I don't know what, she replied, screaming like an hysteric no, it's not my job it's yours, she made her little scandal throwing some papers on the ground, I did not know the end of the story since I left. 

LOL, anyway half the adults around the world are alcoholics, when I go to the beach in the morning 10 am half the men are already drinking beer, so they are free, but impossible with this habit of daily booze to keep one's whole mind and especially one's health ounce one get older.

I received an email from the French administration that my birth certificate was send to me March 11th, I never received it!

In height years it is the first time I do not received anything send to me.

I have a home gym fully stocked,  a while back i switched to going to a commercial gym but i miss it a bit. Just a few more options over there and a bit of social contact. I got two cardio machines. The rower is the best but havent touched it in a while im a lazy <deleted>. I do my weight workouts but cardio often bores me.

 

I do walk in the park with weights.. (again havent done it cause im lazy last week was the last) but then i dont use a mask because the park is so empty. Its a park in a private village. If i look over my fence i can see if people are in it or not. I go when its almost empty and there is enough space for people to pass around. Lots of thais (when its busy) dont use masks. I also dont use a mask but only when there is nobody around. 

 

Just walked the dog (did wear a mask just because it makes some people feel good) but again did not encounter anyone. But i can get it wearing masks in crowded parks.

I’ve been convinced for years that the Dutch, sorry, the people of the Netherlands are among the most polite and most social people in the world,(compared to many countries)  and you confirm this in most of your answers ????????

Highly intelligent,  now everyone will rush to stock up . How rational!!!!

No not everyone!

People who drink are convinced that everyone drink alcohol daily, for example, I do not drink a drop of alcohol, I only drink water and in my Thai family,  wife father brother sister nobody drinks daily and yet we are not extraterrestrials.

All 90-day address report has been extended to April 30th, you don't need to go to Immigration...

 

Maybe that is why they did not send anything back to me by post, they were not sure about a date ?

 Immigration did not send back the letter I joined with my address and an 18 Bath stamp, my 90 days appointment being for April 11th a Saturday ????

 I will go tomorrow, why they did not send it back I do not know? Did they take advantage of the fact that I had not sent it by registered mail? Not impossible, what is certain is that they received it, I will see what they will tell me tomorrow

 Yesterday I went to an "everything at 20 Bahts" shop to buy a mask for when on my motorbike.
I have only 950 VT 3M masks with filter and with my full helmet it is too big so till now I only put the mask after taking my helmet off 
But since  all those stories about westerners not giving a damn about masks I thought I will buy a cheap one to drive the motorbike with a mask, 
the mask was 20 bahts, but there was also very small bottles of hand sanitizer, when I say small it means maybe 100ML, 159 Bahts it seemed to me very  expensive?

I still saw a lot of tourists in Samui I mean at Makro and Tesco Lotus Too I wonder what will happen to those people?

I would love to hear the rationale for this move. Where is there any evidence that alcohol increases the spread, more than soft drinks.
We won't hear it because there is none.
Stand by for the stampede to the shops. Will make the queues at immigration look like nothing.

I would love to hear the rationale for this move. Where is there any evidence that alcohol increases the spread, more than soft drinks.

It has nothing to do with the virus spread itself, but with a lot more people coming together, that could be true! 

... I'm not criticizing what you daid ????it's just a simple reflection  ????

Needless to say that I'll keep doing my 90-days reporting on time (via post) just to be on the safe side ????

I did it ten days ago March 30th,  no news of my return enveloppe till now!  

But it’s okay if Westerners over 70 years old are crowded like a flock of sheep to confirm their address every 90 days ! 

I sent mine 10 days ago by mail still no answer! From Samui to Samui the mail delivery should not be a problem I guess.

wash your hands regularly for at least 20 seconds, surely people know this by now?

It is because once they have sold something some Thais kiss every banknotes over fifty Bahts they received ????

Sorry but anyone going to an immigration office to do a 90 day report, is a fool. All you need to do is fill in the form and mail it to them. Everyone can manage to do that.

 

I did it March 30th I look in my mail box everyday !

I am in Koh Samui. My wife stranded in Isaan told me yesterday her daughter, 31 years old,  was not well with a fever of 39 degree centigrade, they went to see a doctor, he sent her home with paracetamol, some of you, maybe, will rememder that I said a few days ago my wife had also a same high fever and was sent home in the same way, I called my DIL two hour ago because I wanted to speak to HER, she told me I am too tired for walking and my eyes are hurting a lot ??? Impossible to know if she had coronavirus or not, maybe not, she has no problem for breathing...BUT when I see that, I do not believe at all any fifures of this government anymore, I do not pretend they are lying about it, I say and I'm sure they have no idea at all about the real situation, mainly in the countryside for let's not forget 80% of the people have very little to mild symptoms! And you can't compare the number of doctors or the medical system to western countries.

What scares me a little is that in the same house are my wife's parents, both over 80 and both not in very good health. 

For the families and the love ones of the deceased the mortality rate is 100%????

  I sent all my document by mail Monday, March 30th for April 11th now I am waiting for the return letter???

I am sure 100% the documents I sent were complete my only "fear" I did not send in registered mail since as I said already the ladies at the post office told me RM: one week!

So from today I will check my mailbox every morning and Fryday if I have no return I will go to their office. My appointment being for the 11th is a Saturday, which is not the first time that my appointment falls on a Saturday or a Sunday????
It doesn't bother me too much I always try to be the most philosopher possible, it's been years since I understood that worrying didn't change anything in the problems so I do as Napoleon said: Always trying to cooperate with the inevitable...????
