Good Catch! Do you expect any accuracy from Thaiger. The worst "news" outlet in Thailand. It should not be a source of news on this site. 

It's correct, I just replied to another message. It's called a "Dono Goal" where people can donate. Skip to the 1:30 minute mark to see what a tool he is. He's also friends with Johnny Somali another Kick live streamer walking around Japan talking about Hiroshima/Nagasaki and thinking it was funny.    (EDIT: User JimTripper sent better clips on page 2)

Just one question, why does it say this at the top left corner of the video :

 

Where in Thailand is this?

It is a Sub Goal that streamers do. People can donate or sub for him to earn the goal for whatever they choose. He was in Pattaya and is a complete <deleted>. You can find the video online

Does the USA not count as part of the rest of the world now?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_alcohol_laws_of_the_United_States

5555 USA and some Muslim countries the only ones in the world it is 21. Some Americans literally think they are the world and have no clue what is going on other places.

It is all about education. The alcohol laws should be reviewed. What is the use of an alcohol sell ban from 2-5?? If you want to buy alcohol and if you are over 21 no problem by doubt show id..Make bar owners bartenders responsible for serving too much alcohol and let the RTP work too in the evning and at night and check and do an alcohol test for everyone....Make Thailand an normal country

Why over 21? The rest of the world is 18 and over. 

I am filling out the E-Visa information for a Non-Immigrant O Visa (Marriage / Single Entry - 90 days) and it seems I have to upload my bank statement but it doesn't specify the amount. How much should I be showing?

No, I don't know 

Do a Google search. It's not allowed to be talked about on this site so you should know what we are talking about.

Too late.

 

The virus has long spread in large numbers in Thailand.

 

Social distancing will achieve nothing, except possibly, if done perfectly effect a very small slowing in transmission. That is all.

 

But any fantasy of containing the virus by lockdowns, travel restrictions, curfews and "social distancing" are just pure illusory beliefs. There is absolutely no hard data that shows social distancing can do anything else but achieve very small delays.

 

This study shows the whole isolation of Wuhan only bought the rest of China 3 days:

 

https://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/03/25/science.abb4218

Do more research. China could have contained it before spreading out of Wuhan and then the world. Even though doctors and reporters were warning the government, the CCP chose to detain, beat up, and silence them. They let 3 million people leave Wuhan before even lifting a finger. If they would have acted swiftly instead of covering up, you or I wouldn't have to worry about it. The CCP is very similar to Thailand in the fact they are not proactive and wait until there is a big problem before acting. 

You can see the study is complete BS because they don't have the real data. The first cases in Wuhan were in early November. That study is going off Wuhan, 2 months later. 

Social distancing and lots of testing does work. Taiwan and South Korea have proved it.

I do not need that. I know about precautions that must be taken. If I look I will say the same. It+s not possible to make a perfect estimation. That was my point.

As an extra, why would I listen to a doctor from UK instead? Have they managed to contain the spread better than Thailand so far? I assume you are a brit, and understand why you recommend to listen to a Uk doctor instead. I probably feels more close to home. Unfortunately the virus know no boundaries nor borders, and there is no room for individualist from specific countries. Everyone must work together as a team for get the result we all wish for.

I also know that what is happening right now can be compared to a regular outcome of a yearly flu. Out of that reason there is no need for panic. However, if people do not heed a certain call then we do not know what to expect and how wide the damage of the virus outbreak might be.

Nope, I'm American but the doctor got the number from the same concept. I guess you didn't watch him break down numbers. Basically you take the infected now use the arnot and exponential numbers to a certain date which you get an exact number. Of course I know it won't be "exact" but he is not a politician. He probably has a better idea of the real infected in Thailand compared to the government.

I understand that he warns people about a clear and present danger, if we do not take this seriously. That´s really needed, due to that too many morons take this as something insignificant. Some have even gone so far on this forum, as calling the virus a hoax. That´s really falling low in the level of human intelligence. However, I am baffled by this magician of a doctor, and really wonder where he get all his very exact numbers from. It looks like he is trying to pinpoint everything down to the last individual. Maybe they should consider to make an estimation, instead of announcing exact numbers. That would probably make the article and the information more credible.

You might find this video interesting. A doctor from the U.K. breaking down the numbers, very similar to this, and showing how important social distancing is.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6JrkLvsKtw&fbclid=IwAR2YlukSWLeBV7PR2GmmfecewTqk5fgSgItGILruDlZFsJZe71RK_fGomMg

As I've found out from recent experience, the Zoom, Zhumu, iTalki, Classin and Skype online platforms cannot provide a reliable internet connection when there is such a high demand for online lessons. The main internet backbone provider - Telia, is having daily outages with its network in Germany of all places, which has a knock-on effect for Zoom, Zhumu and iTalki connectivity.

Adobe Classroom has had no problems at all but I guess it depends on which server it is connected to.

There have been far too many people posting similar stories that have later been found to be troll posts for us to believe you, sorry but that's the way it is.

School at Prahurathai Don Muang was shut down yesterday after it was confirmed. 

Total BS, numbers BS. What about the child at my son's school who just tested positive for the coronavirus??? What about his grandparents who he got it from? What about the hundreds or maybe thousands who they spread it to in the past week???

I've never been to Penang for a visa run but I think I'm going to take a trip to Malaysia so I mine as well do it right around the expiry date.  I know the normal documents I need for a 3 month Non-B which is all I can get because I have a son but I'm not married or not even together with his mother anymore.  

Do I need to have an outgoing ticket or show money in the bank for this?

Yes, I get that. They are making it easy to go there and stay there. Good news.

 

My question though was what areas are worth staying in? And how do they compare to Thailand?

 

 

 

Sihanoukville, Cambodia.  Go there before it turns into a Phuket or Pattya.

OK, thanks for the responses, info, and advice everybody.

Edit: In reply to your last post. You could get a 60 day extension of your entry to visit your child.

UbonJoe, a 60 day extension would be great to get my things sorted out. Do you know what I need to do this?

Yes, doing more research, I guess the visa is good for one year which I thought I would have but I only get 90 days out of it. My son is actually alone with me for this 7 week trip. I don't watch him full-time, but although both myself and his mother moved on, we are all civil and I'm pretty sure that she would vouch that I do take care of him full-time. He also goes to an International School in Thailand which I pay for and have full documentation from my bank statement. I'm only 37 so I'm not eligible for retirement visa. What would I need to extend it?

6. PERIOD OF STAY

Holder of this type of visa is entitled to stay in Thailand for a maximum period of 90 days. He or she may apply for an extension of stay at the Office of the Immigration Bureau and may be granted such extension for a period of one year from the date of first entry into Thailand.

Well, I've found out one of my questions that the numb-nut immigration officials were so unclear about when I was trying to get this on about 3-4 attempts to Laos. I love how each time I ask a different immigration officer, I get a different answer. Well, I'm now in a predicament. It says I may be granted an extension for a period of 1 year from the date of first entry into Thailand? Previously I was on Tourist Visas pretty much for 8 years, spending some time in other countries and a couple months in the US every year but since my son is nearly 4 and I'm not with his mother anymore, I pretty much have to stay in Bangkok to be close to him. I do get him 3/days week which is good. OK, any advice would be much appreciated!!!

I have a one year single entry Non-O.

OK, after months of headaches, finally have my first Non-O. They said I still need to leave an re-enter every 90 days even though the visa is valid for a year. The 90 days will expire on May 11, however, on March 19th I flew here to USA but got a re-entry stamp at the airport because that's the only way the immigration said I can still keep my visa valid. I'm scheduled to fly back to Bangkok on May 9th but that first 90 days expires on May 11th so does that mean I have to leave the country again 2 days later?

I just got back from Hanoi. What an amazing place, both Sapa and Halong Bay. I got a visa on arrival, however, Vietnam has a little scam going on now to make extra money and you must get an approval letter beforehand. I flew on VietJet going there and AirAsia coming back and neither asked to see my return tickets. You also don't need a bank statement if you get the visa on arrival but make sure you bring the cash with you because there are no ATM's around the immigration. Anyhow, good luck! You can google approval letter for Vietnam and you will get a load of different companies doing them. Here is the cheapest I found.
