I think what's being missed is that Non-O persons re-entering the country only need insurance for the period of stay they are stamped in for.    eg, I, a non-O holder, return on Dec. 7 and the IO looks at my PP and sees that my re-entry permit expires 14 days later on Dec. 20; she stamps me in to Dec. 20. The fact that I will stay much longer doesn't matter. I only need to buy 30 days of the required insurance. When that runs out I don't have to renew, Im back like I was way back, essentially self-insured.

.

Yes, I'm aware of that. My question is, if we never leave LOS, will we be grandfathered in, or will they someday require us to have coverage?

No wonder nothing ever gets done in the Thai ministry when it take 8 minutes just to tell someone your name.

Let me get this right.....

 

Wearing a light, thin, loose fitting mask will be a serious danger to your life / health.........but you can travel, fly and walk around in public in a sub tropical, extremely hot and humid

county with some of the worst air pollution in the world?

 

And, if you do catch covid or even the common cold, from not wearing a mask, that will cause much more breathing problems for you and be more dangerous for you life than a thin mask.....also the potential to pass covid onto other people....

 

Don't you think it might be better to study for a year where you are now than to put your life and others at risk as you can't wear a mask?

 

 

 

Expand  

Why are you questioning the person with the medical mask exemption? Question the hospital and doctors who gave her the exemption. Maybe they know something about her condition that you don’t know. 
As she stated…”…medically exempt, as instructed by my local hospital and respitory nurse/ASD specialist.”

  So perhaps you should not be trying to “outdoctor” her medical care specialists and doctors. 
    Who are you to suggest to her that maybe she should not travel to Thailand? She’s coming to Thailand for study. 
    How is she risking anyone’s life?  If she already had Covid and recovered, then she has immunity even much better than being vaccinated. If she’s vaccinated, then great.  If others are vaccinated and/or wearing masks, then she is no threat to them.  And if she is not elderly with co-morbidities than the odds of her dying crossing a Thailand street are probably higher than of dying of Covid. 
I know a number of people who had Covid and recovered. Most of them said it was a like a mild flu, and then they recovered with no problem.

Well said.....

Sadly there are many people who think because they believe what "experts"  and governments say, it must be true.

Maybe, maybe not......

 

...and even if they're not making more, any "lost" take home pay could easily be compensated for by being able to sleep in; no commuting traffic hassles, nor having to pay for gas and maintenance for car commuters; no child care costs; and most importantly, not having to WORK, especially if that's in a personal service trade, where every day you have to face the unwashed masses of rude dudes. Yeah, the good life has been seen -- and it will take a lot more incentive by employers to get these workers back.

Most states have discontinued the $300/week extra cream on top from the feds, just for that reason....

So, nope that's not the reason they have a worker shortage.

Love that airline, though, great service.

I guess you don't have any Thai male friends then? the Thai scene is a thousand times bigger than what you see in Patts, it's just hidden to save face.

Does one need to go to graduate school to be so presumptuous, or can one be self-taught?

Give me your home address and I will send you ฿10, to buy a starter kit containing a sense of humor.

If you've never been to Pattaya how do you know it looks seedy?

Take a black light and walk around at night and you will see 'seedy' all over Pattaya....

Indoors and out.
