"The choice is to either extend or end it."

Right. ???? On day this next day that. Business as usual.

They could still recover the planes, which other stakeholders may not be able to. So now it becomes a fight for what is left over.

Maybe they rented from one of the big aircraft leasing companies

Not so sure about this, they bought planes in the past like those 340 that could not be sold ever again. One belongs now to the airforce, permanently parked at Don Mueang on the other side.

Is the catch into all of this is that you need to have an already AIS existing package of just a AIS sim card without package?

SIM registered with your passport. Otherwise it would not work. AFAIK only AIS offers this.

My US passport is a 9-digit number, so I have no idea why I'm getting an SMS response back talking about a 13-digit ID card number.

 

Probably just their default error message. Probably your passport number is not registered with your phone number.

Oh yeah, it probably has my old passport ref. Anyways, I would just visit the center since malls are open now. Would update here if ever. Thanks, MadMac honey ... ????????

Works with old passport number if you used that for registration. If you can remember it of course...

Just call their hotline rather than asking in a forum I'd suggest ????

Ditto, didn't work. It says:

 

Cannot be eligible The ID number you entered does not match the SIM registered. Please make a new transaction. Or update SIM registration information online By dialing * 161 * 2 * Citizen ID # Call out> Wait for SMS, follow the steps> Click to receive the next day. For Non-Thai residents, text Passport No.> send to SMS No. 170 / call info More info , dial * 915645.

 

I would try again as instructed re 162*2 ...

If your Thai ID or your passport is not registered with AIS and that particular number, it will not work.

Agree. As the text says, SMS for farang not *170.....

But the reply SMS doesn’t come back straight away - I was told it takes 3 hours...

It only works if your passport is registered with AIS. Took less than a minute.

It works. You did not read properly. You need to SMS your passport number to 170. If it is registered with AIS you will get 3 SMS within 1...2 mins and 100mins voice for 45 days.

All this seem clear indicators that there will be no significant domestic tourism and no way to think about foreign tourists anytime soon.

And that is the best thing that can happen.

I qualify big time on the '100 ppl per country' thing.

Sadly, I fail miserably on the other reqs

Which btw, I have no clue what they are ????

 

Wouldn't a cool million be enough to grant us PR and drop all the pretenses?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check out Thai Elite, starts at 500k. And you get something for your money. Thai PR is just fake, you can not own land, you still need a work permit....

Be interesting to see how long it takes then for alchohol withdrawal related deaths to overtake the covid numbers.

Nahhh....there is still room, a couple of thousand dead alcoholics, less so in traffic, plus a few virus victims. Big plus in the Songkran statistics this year.
