The point is the Thai government is working hard to kill it's tourism economy

“Importantly, the tourists must come from the countries that have low risk of COVID-19,” Ms Traisuree said.
Whats the point on this if tourists have to test negative prior departure, after landing, quarantine 14 days + 7 and test 2 more time negative before being allowed to travel to other regions? Ah... I forgot the bracelet

I really hope it will collapse and let's not look away finding excuses. It's all the government's fault.

In the same situation as the op.
I will not go to Pattaya this autumn as the requirements are too much of a hassle but booked a longer stay in Mexico instead.
As soon I am allowed back I will probably put my bike and condo for sale. They should at least have allowed asq for condo owner as they did with the Thai elite card holders.
I am done.

Well... Som naam na general

Well but all this will not make tourists choose Thailand as their next holiday.
In fact me for example I love Thailand over every other country in the world and own a condo and a brand new motorbike there but will spend my next autumn vacation of 3 months in Mexico for the simple fact that I am not allowed in to Thailand. So it can be as safe as it wants but that will not make their situation better if they keep their door shut.

No. The mandatory insurance will.

Now that we are at it why don't claim that cats can fly?

From Pattaya to Ban Phe I always go by scooter as it's just 1 hours drive cutting through Khao Chichan Road.

OP-NO, they are not even letting mail in from other countries atm. Thailand is currently in the spotlight as the most covid free country in the world (according to the local news) and are not going to jeopardize that for your few thousand baht.
But they seem to have no problem to let elite visa holders in where a 20 years one is cheaper than the average condo

Well they have to make money to survive. What do you expect?
Maybe if they get a monthly check as some of the government paid doctors you read telling their <deleted> here they would stop working and practice social distancing.

My younger sister and 2 friends got diagnosed from a hospital. They were all asymptomatic.
Several others felt sick but didn't go to check for fear of being quarantined for 2 weeks.

"Medical professor recommends delay of travel bubble for at least 6 months"
It should read
Medical professor recommends auto isolation of Thailand from the rest of the world for at least 6 months

I would never want to have a relationship with a girl from Bangkok for the simply reason that this would imply me to have to visit that busy, full of traffic and polluted town that is Bangkok. The way many Bangkok people thinks of being superior to the rest of Thailand is also something that puts me off having a relationship with a girl from there.
But I am always okay if I can date one for a few days while on an island vacation lol.

5 hours ago, Tounge Thaied said:Non-O Retirement still not allowed in... that is effed up. Seriously. Think about it. There cannot be that many Non-O retirees out of Thailand right now. Why not let this surely small group back in? This just seems malicious now.... And I thought that the Elite Visa was not eligible for a work permit... see the chart.
And also seems that the government completely forgot about the foreigners who own a property in Thailand.
Me for example own an apartment there but am stucked in Europe and have to pay rent for staying here even during the months I usually would be in Thailand...

1) grab isn't cheaper
They can offer their price and I am sure they will find taxis working for them as they are actually more expensive than the normal price - copied from my first comment
1 hour ago, ThomasThBKK said:2) of course they need to pay taxes, like everyone else who earns money. ???? What do you think how much taxes am average taxi driver pays here ????
Hahaha is this sarcastic?
Surely the average taxi pays more than a grabcar who works completely in black and could be charged for that if he pays 1 satang as tax
1 hour ago, ThomasThBKK said:2) licenses cost nothing, this isn't new york
Prove please. Well than what's the problem for the grab car drivers to get one.
1 hour ago, ThomasThBKK said:3) normal taxis drive too on grab
Yes it's called grab taxi but the problem is grabcar.
1 hour ago, ThomasThBKK said:5) what are you even talking about, people LOVE grab because they don't get ripped off, that's it
If you ask the fare in advance and agree or use meter than where is the rip off?

? Plenty around

Of course Grab drivers can offer cheaper prices. They operate without a licence which has a cost to get and as they are illegal anyway they also don't have to pay taxes.
I am curious what would happen in case you have an accident in one of those cars...
I am not against Grab, it is basically a good idea and it's just natural evolution of the job but they have to comply with rules and regulations and therefore employ cars and taxis that have a licence.
They can offer their price and I am sure they will find taxis working for them as they are actually more expensive than the normal price (if the red car doesn't rip you off).
Taxis in Bangkok and Chiang Mai are actually ridiculously cheap (Pattaya and Phuket not but that's another issue) and it's funny how people don't complain to pay a 1000 baht bill in a bar but than complain to pay the taxi driver who has to wait around until 2 am just to bring drunken people home for mere 60 baht.

Happened to me two years ago when they started with this bulls hit... Went to Jomtien immigration for extension and they told me to pay a fine (I was in a Hotel and never heard of this before).
So what I did was went to ban Chang, checked in a Hotel and told them to do the TM30, paid and went with their receipt straight to the Rayong immigration (in Ban Chang). Got the extension without any problem and spent the night at the bar street there. Next day I went back to Patts.

You can also go in one of the Thai banks and ask what they have listed for sale. You can find lots of apartments for a bargain in almost every thai province.
In fact sometimes they even have an Expo in the shopping malls

I really hope more will fail so that they finally decide to open up this country again!
