Fee for a normal yearly extension is 1900B. Why would anyone pay 50k?

No need money in thai account, no need stress every year with tje extension?

What sense does it make to keep the Sandbox program in Phuket ect?

 

Now that test and go started for all countries also with 2 PCT Tests in Thailand, same as the Sandbox, but only with 2 needed hotel bookings, why should someone want to book 7 days in the Phuket sandbox instead of only 2 days with Test and Go in Phuket?

I stayed in BKK several times in Furama Sathorn SHA+ Hotel. Only a 3 minute walk from BTS Chong Nonsi.

 

They also offer a 1 Day "Test and Go" for just 3.590b inclusive 3 meals, Transfer from Airport to hotel and PCR Test.

I booked direct on their homepage and received immediately a booking confirmation that i used for the Thailand Pass App.

So if i stay 7 days in Phuket and travel to another province i still have to stay 7 days in a special "Sandbox" hotel there?

" the suspect is in fact a 27 year old Thai man"

They should add a free covid vaccine shot during the quarantaine period.

 

That would maybe attract some more people especially the younger ones that have to wait long long time for their vaccine shot in their home countries.

They should add a free Covid vaccination during the quarantaine.

I think this would attract more people to book a 10 day stay in the hotel than using the hotel pool or gym.

This man is a shame for Thailand!

He has forcibly replaced a people-elected government and is now talking he act within the law??

 

Is there a law in thailand that legitimizes a military coup?

They are dressed as if they have Ebola-Virus

Tourists must isolate in home countries

https://www.bangkokpost.com/learning/easy/1988231/tourists-must-isolate-in-home-countries?cx_placement=article#cxrecs_s

 

In this aticle they are writing tourist must quarantine 2 week in their home countries and NOT in Thailand.

 

Is this something new??

The problem for Thailand would be clinical trials. The second stage of trials on humans is to let the ginuea pigs loose into the community and see how many become infected. As there is no Covid in Thailand, the trial would be invalid. They would need to run the trial in a country where Covid is active.

Thats exactly the problem.

 

No human trials without Covid and Thailand is Covid free!!

 

In England trials for a vaccine from Oxford Univetsity have started  with humans already but they are afraid the results will be worthless because Covid disapper already too fast even from GB.

USA have already ordered 300mio doses!!!

 

And possible long term damage from a vaccine are even not examined.

They want to make the vaccine available this year but how you can be sure you not get cancer in 3 year as a side effect from the vaccine?

 

To develope a safe vaccination and make it available for humans it takes normally several years with all the testing, not months like now with Covid.

Today here in nonthaburi maybe 10% of the Thai was wearing a mouthmask....

But its the f... farang that the minister want to kick out if the country.

Ts...

What is he going to do with the thai people which not want to wear a mask?

Put them all in jail?

 

And by the way:

Up to now there are only thai+chinese infected with the virus in thailand, no Farang.

 

But only the farang is blamed.

I would not wounder if after some time the farang will be blamed to bring the virus to thailand and not the chinese.

 

 

I wonder what the minister will do with all the thai people that also not use the mask.

 

Where he want to send them?

I just read you can transfer up to 250,000 Thai Baht in one pass so that may be the best option.

Not if you want to pick up the money in cash in thailand. Limit is then 5.000 USD.

If i understand correct you need cash money in TH and not transfer into an other account.

 

I not know if you can do 4 cash payments in 1 day. This i never tried

I have Bank of America, Schwab and TD Ameritrade. I have a Chase credit card. 

You can transfer max. USD 5000 per 1 Transaction with Western Union and pic up the money at a Western Union office in Thailand. 

Cost per transaction USD 5.

So you will need to make 5 WU transfers to TH

You can pay Western Union by bank transfer from any of your US Banks

Crisu u happy with the insurance? Have you claimed anything and they paid up?

 

Thanks!

Yes i am happy.

I never claimed anything since i was never sick but i know someone who claimed money for an operation and it was refund to him within 2 weeks without problem. He even did not informed BDAE before the operatiom what he should have done. They paid anyway and just informed him before the next operation to give just a short notice.

And it is even possible that the insurance company settle directly with the hospital if they get in touch.

48 years in prison for doing what the current govt is doing

Thats what i am thinking too.

What is the difference to the rice subsidy of the current military government?
I dont understand that.

I received a TIN in BKK last year and they just printed a small yellow paper card with the no. + my name and adress in thailand.

If you extend a car + motorbike driving licence do they need in phuket 2 original CoR, medical certificate or is a copy sufficient?

 

 

How many months before expiry i can apply for an extension of the current driving licence in phuket?

I wonder what the difference is to what Yingluck was sentenced to prison.
