In any case, the crook's finances won't be affected. Why should he even care?

And that's one of the reasons why the country is <deleted>@$#d up.

All of a sudden we're useful? My answer is $od-0ff... Learn to respect people first, then we'll see... 

Make me feel welcome, then we'll see.

Abolish those draconian immigration laws and double prices and then we'll see. Till then, tell your freaking embassies to process repatriation speedy instead to use expat to milk money. The whole bunch of those govmt stooges is a disgrace.

I'm tired of this b*llsh*t. But somehow I'm happy they always their true colors. Green dollars color. And little business are going belly up, everyday more... 

CAAT Is the same that let slip to the press they might ban flights till December. Dumb and dumber.

“He cited the protests last week in Bangkok, saying that several protesters were seen not wearing face masks, while others were shouting and not maintaining social distancing.  These actions, he said, put people at risk of becoming infected or of transmitting the disease to others.”

But but... government said there have been no local infection for more than 50 days, so then how they can become infected or transmit the disease if they are not infected?

At this point the tourism sector will completely collapse because the knee jerk reaction of those idiots in charge, included who's at the top.

I wish it will happen, so that it will fuel huge protests and MAYBE we will be able to see these morons fly to Singapore or Dubai or Germany.

I smell some desperation here...

Wow! What a surprise! I'm shocked!

The numbers I have seen on the news recently is they are increasing the numbers to 500 per day, so yes it would appear that the Goverment is trying to increase the numbers once they have more approved quarantine facilites in place

That's a good news. Still they knew since March how many people should have been repatriated...

Anyway, better late than never!

Yes granted. Thai can only handle certain # of quarantine for 14 days per day.

That's why this thread is a nonsense. If non Thai where added to welcome back "married guy" it would be a disaster.

It is not a nonsense for me, as I have a family there you know... ????

Maybe if government did think about repatriate their nationals before, they would have already expanded the capacity using hotels fit for the purpose and their army privates to accelerate repatriation and let who have been caught out and have family there finally get back.

Am I missing something. Thai have been arriving in Thailand ongoing. Many flights and southern border from Malaysia.

Thinking hundreds in last few weeks.

There's still a huge waiting list, in the thousands only in US. And government is allowing only 300 entries per day.

The options for the survey are too narrow for me.  They fail to take account of people (and I'd guess there are thousands) who are married to a Thai national and those with families who don't normally live in Thailand but visit regularly.

 

I'd accept a 14 day quarantine if that could be done at home. I don't think it would be too difficult to police, there will be thousands of Pooyai Baan's who'd love an extra couple of thousand baht (paid by the foreigner) to do a little daily checking.

 

For me, at the moment the biggest problem is the lack of any announcements/plans on this subject.  Not seeing my wife until say, December would be hard but at least I'd know.

Exactly. The worrying thing is they don't even have a plan for repatriating their fellow Thais...

I hope something will move in the right direction soon and some sort of announcement will be made.

Ok think most would be sympathetic to your situation, but let's cut to chase. 

Many have been caught out.

I can't recall exact dates....here is my spin.

Several days prior to March 20 (the date AU closed borders) the au PM declared ALL Australians should return to AU.

March 16 I was at Saigon airport returning to DMK. Drinking with few mates work in Singapore. All flights except few early ones were cancelled. Singapore had issued isolation 14 day. 

I was due back Vietnam the following week. Couple of days later Vietnam closed borders and all visas ~ March 20.

I thought ....if I'm in Oz I need back Thailand ASAP, this is serious.

Stop the poor old me routine. Oh I'm married etc. Sure many collateral damage, most just stuffed up. Thailand shut its borders/entries ~ March 26. There was a very open window.

 

I don't have to explain anything to anyone, I know what I did and what I have been through and how for a bunch of unfortunate events I got caught in the madness of canceled flights and unable to get back to Thailand (I am currently in a third country, not in my originary country that I haven't visited for more than 10 years).
We're not discussing here why we were blocked out, are we?
