I think for many folks, especially those who have a solid life set up back home, and have reasonable flights into Thailand, a "best of both worlds" approach is better. Continue life at home, but spend several months in Thailand enjoying what it has to offer.

That's what I find.I am sorry I can't return to Thailand ATM though.I'd planned on  coming

April 20th for 3 months

I'm in NZ right now - perhaps a good place to be to wait out this plague. But I'm separated from my daughter, and I miss her badly. Not being able to jump on a plane at any time and go up there is taking time to sink in. I miss my little home up there, and I miss my relaxed lifestyle and all the things I have become used to over the decades. For all its faults, Thailand was home for 30 years, and it's not easy to just suddenly push that aside. If this goes on for another couple of years, I might be a raving lunatic by the time I can go back.

I'm in the same boat stuck in Australia.Which as you say may be a good thing ATM but I was due to return to Thailand on the 20th .Now the question is the 20th of when? it's been 20+ years for me since I started alternating between here and Thailand.I'm missing my lady and my 2 dogs, even the neighbours I have there are good.All we can do is wait unfortunately.

Loads of rich Laos people. They all shop at Central in Udon with funds donated by various governments from around the world.

I've seen this loads of times.Especially weekends .Well before Central was built and it was just Robinsons there .Laos in brand new Landcruisers Benzs Range Rovers etc.all over the place .

I was planning on travelling to Thailand on 20th April from Australia.The flight was cancelled then Australia shut the border my TV will run out in June so I called the Thai consul.Cannot extend ok fair enough.Thailand has closed it's borders I said .No I was told can go if you have a medical certificate not more than 72hrs old plus 100,000 US insurance against corona virus..Thailand isn't closed just  impossible to enter????[for me anyway]

General Aswin. hahahahhahaha. Missing an s somewhere. How about lock down Bangkok? Oh so sorry too late…. 100,000 workers have went home out of Bangkok now and are spreading the virus love.

The authorities in the country are totally out of their depth .The job in Thailand is to get the job.Then the work is done [until something that needs a proper soluition happens then medals and uniforms and wais can't cover the incompetence.]

Closing for 3 weeks wont fix it anyway I reckon

Krungsi,Krung Thai ,Kasikorn. all stopped foreign currency exchange .I suppose Thai money is germ free?

Who told you that. Perhaps you local office does not require one.

I think you might be confusing TM27 address reporting with TM30 reporting.

Joe do you know if Ubon Immigration are still wanting farang to report after a couple of nights away from the home address?

The Authorities made have announced that Songkran is cancelled, but all they need to do now is ACTUALLY stop the Thais doing exactly as they please, and carrying on anyway.

Easier said than done.

Well why not ? Prayut stopped the passenger vans driving like maniacs didn't he? He told them not to!????
