But if you exit the country you still need a Thai pass to return currently, for which you will need to show insurance, even if you have an extension on a non O, I think I am correct in saying that but I'm sure @ubonjoe could confirm
That for only 10000 baht Covid insurance costs about 1000 baht per month

It's good to extend the visa exemption but make sure that they distinguish true tourists from those visa-runners who want to stay long-term in Thailand on a shoestring budget.
Why not reintroduce the minimum amount of cash requirement?
What difference does it make many young people want to backpack around the world, as long as they don’t beg and they shower and wash their clothes regularly their entitled to come here as much as anyone else, better than the sexpats.

"there should be nothing to fear"
No, that's not correct.. The vaccines, especially if you've been boosted, do a pretty good job at reducing your likelihood of serious illness and death from COVID, but they're not 100%... And their protections do tend to wane after 4-5 months post vaccination.
So yes, definitely get vaccinated and boosted in accord with the public health guidelines. But even for those who have already been vaccinated and boosted, wearing a quality face mask when around others in public places not only helps protect you but also protects those around you should you come down with the virus.
I’m fully vaccinated but had Covid a few weeks ago, just felt I’d been over training at the gym with a headache after six days I was fine.

Who speculated it was Ukraine motivated, unbelievable.
It was not wise of this teacher running at night.
This is true anywhere but applies more in Pattaya, where the dregs of Thai society congregate.
And foreigners

What a stupid comment to make regarding the mask/epidemic/pandemic discussion!
I suppose you want the surgeons etc. to wear the same dispossable masks that we are mandated to wear because of the epidemic and not proper surgical masks?
I think he was making a joke

Be careful I’ve had the two shots and the booster, I’m also very fit, I got Covid a few weeks ago I thought I’d overtrained in the gym, muscle aches and headache for a couple of days so I tested myself had it so self quarantined tested two more times every two days got rid of it 6th day, but I definitely wouldn’t like to of had it if I’d. it been vaccinated.
Little mistake at the end, “if I’d not been vaccinated “

Thailand follows China like a little boy - or it seems that way.
Honestly, this new variant varies from no symptoms to a cold as long as you're vaccinated.
Oh well.
Correct I felt a bit tired and muscle ach in the gym this morning so I bought a Covid test and yes black and red mark, so I will self quarantine, I’m not in Thailand I’m in Vietnam.

Arrival tests only have an impact when trying to contain a virus. That ship sailed long ago. Most sensible tourist reliant countries realised this already.
The purpose is money, just another scam added on.

I have lived here 10 years. Not just a Thailand issue, but most people here seem fake toward Falang. Fake friendly to probably just to get people's money. I actually think the Phils is less fake. More desperate but not seemingly fake about it. It all seems mostly economics and jealousy of westerners I think.
Sad really, no one has a choice where they are born. On the big picture of life, those of us born in western countries are very very lucky.
Very true

I have a Bangkok Bank account and it was a Visa card. When it reached expiry date the new card was no longer Visa and is now Union pay.
Now it is a problem using it on line and even for a hotel deposit as many places will not accept it.
Same problem as me except they gave me mastercard all its good for is drawing from the ATM been in the bank four times last Friday the last time, absolutely useless customer service, now not interested use Visa card from the UK works great for everything also Vietnam Visa card is fine.

They don’t make money on a PCR test before travel, as we all know that’s what all this is about.

Need to wait until the Irish guy sobers up and wait until we hear what he has to say .
It may be that he did refuse to pay his bill, for some reason .
Could be that he liked the sound of the bell ringing and kept ringing the bell ?
Maybe same like the karaoke in Chiangmai do to tourists, give them a ridiculously high bill then if they can’t or won’t pay about 10 guys beat them up, happened a lot before Covid.
