If they start building now, it might be ready for the next Chinese virus outbreak, CV 22.0

For reference - quotes from Khmer Times June 19 2020:-

 

He said the trucks were purchased by the Kingdom through a fundraising effort initiated by Prime Minister Hun Sen. He said the money was donated by Cambodian companies and Cambodian people.

 

“I wish to clarify that we did not use even a single riel of the national budget, but used money from the fundraising with local charities,” he said. “The initiative by Samdech Decho [Mr Hun Sen] to appeal to generous people to support the army is nothing new. He has been doing this for many years.”

 

Lt Gen Manet also denied reports that the vehicles were donated by the Chinese government. He said China has regularly helped the Kingdom even during the COVID-19 outbreak, including sending medical experts and donating medical supplies, but not the military trucks.

 

 

He also expresses his gratitude to Cambodian people for their support for the defence sector, and hit back at those who criticise the truck purchase in the media and social media.

“Other countries spend millions of dollars to modernize their weapons, but when we just have new military trucks, they [critics] started attacking us,” Lt Gen Manet said.

 

 

<deleted>. Fundraising my a***. What about fundraising for buying food and shelter for the unemplyed due to the Chinese virus ?

Hun Sen has his head that far up Xi's a*** that hardly his feet are still visible.

Unbelievable to see this same old news every single day – only with a slightly different headline. Could the officials even try to give some clarity to what this all even means. It doesn't matter if it's July, September or November when flights resume but make some statement asap so people can stop this speculation. They keep saying "no international flights in the near future". There's been daily scheduled flights from various places (Qatar Airways, KLM etc.) since this all started and Lufthansa, Air France, Finnair etc have confirmed BKK flights from July 1, so some clear news needs to be made to clarify all this!   

 

So by reading these vague news it seems that more flights can land in BKK from July, but they can only bring in "business people", Thais and maybe work permit holders? Doesn't sound profitable for the airlines. I would imagine the planes being quite empty flying to BKK and full flying out. Of course if this can happen in July, many of us waiting to get out could be able to do so.  

They cannot roll out a plan, as they have no idea about the future. But not only here. Look at Germany, they issued a blanket travel warning for about 160 non CE countries and declared also Thailand as a high risk country, putting it at the same level with Egypt. Clueless Governments don't wanna take any decisions, specially not when elections are near or when they are walking in the edge already anhow.

Even the commies back in the good old days had only plans for 5 years. How can do project a plan for 20 years from now? A lttle flu might mess up everything you planned.,

Maybe revenge for the 2 biker girls having been taken out by the moron Almera driver a couple of days ago ?

She drives a Prius, says it all.

Professors are on the list. Means anyone holding a Professor degree is allowed to travel to Thailand ?

Are they automatically immune to the Chinese Virus coz of their title ?

Keep the country locked and you will see a nice increase in this percentage very soon,

together with all affiliated problems to come soon.

The Immigration Police smart car option package is very popular. 

A good opportunity for all the whistle blowers out there

Most likely a "side effect" of the Chinese Virus driving people mad, when becoming desperate.

Hi @ubonjoe

 

I am in a similar situation as the OP. I have finished a 2 year NoN Imm O-A Long Stay and now am on the Covid amnesty. I had expected (wrongly!) that I would be able to either get another O-A in Canada or pop down to Malaysia and get a new NoN O, then get an extension, but returning to Thailand after leaving does not seem possible. I asked Samui Immigration for advice on how to deal with the situation, but they just said leave the country and get either a VE entry and convert, or get a new NoN O; when I pointed out that I couldn't go to Malaysia and come back, I just got the blank look (I don't think they know anything either). I could return to Canada without a return visa, but I think it'll take that much longer to get back unless I already have something in my passport. Further, I know a guy stuck in Canada now, and I am trying not to join that cue (It may be unavoidable).

 

My questions are...

1. Will there be a method for people to do a 'border bounce'? I suspect that there are thousands (?) of people who have either a Multiple Entry Non-O, tourist visa, other visa, etc; it would be both impossible and madness for all of them to have to leave the country in July. Simply put, it couldn't be done without a full airplane schedule operating, and that won't be happening.
2. If there are no 'border bounces' and no method of acquiring another NoN O at a nearby embassy, what then? Putting hundreds/thousands of people on overstay is not really feasible either (in my opinion); Thailand would get crucified in the international media at a time when it is trying to re-start its tourism industry.
3. Is there a chance that the current amnesty will get extended? People will need time to make alternate arrangements, especially if international planes aren't frequent (in the BP today, there was a story casting doubt on whether or not international tourism flights will get flying in July).
4. Simply put, what is the way out of this situation? The Thai government can't put hundreds/thousands of people into the IDC or on overstay, yet there isn't a method for all to get legal. What will happen?
5. Any advice to my specific situation? I can, I assume, go back to Canada for a time, but any idea how long until I could return? My life is here, not in Canada.
6. Any idea\speculation as to when we will get some information/decisions? Again, given the numbers of people involved, there will need to be (at minimum) several weeks or month(s) lead time in order for people to adapt to a new situation.

As I read back what I wrote, the only logical answer that I see is either extend the amnesty for another 2-3 months, or allow people to do a 'virtual' border bounce at their local immigration office. I have trouble seeing the Thai government doing either of those things.

 

Thanks in advance for any info/advice; everything that I know about Thai immigration, I have learned from you, so I would be grateful to see what you think, even if it is speculation.

 

Cheers

From that what I understaood, basically everyboday now had or has the possibilty to leave the country and go to his home country. This is the possibility if the person does not hold a WP or can obtain or renew a valid visa in the country. Why shall Thailand extend TV or othe Visa types, requiering leaving the country for people who are not real tourists or cannot fullfil requested requirements ? All people I know packed their stuff and left either with repatriation or regular flights and may come back at a later moment.

Surprisinglythe Fortuner is not white

Preferred and most effective options are not allowed to post here. Think about it.

He will just spend some time in monkhood and all is forgiven.

At least this works the the BKK HiSo's

Definitely not and it won't happen anytime soon

He will not do it again for sure !

Just wondering what so many Thai people do in a 3rd world muslim country, run by a cruel dictator ?
