what would be the cost to redeem some of these points, similar to airlines & hotels (to buy points) ? would there be bonanzas during festive period? -
Of the 100,000, - some 40,000 were Thais returning home - some 30,000 were foreigners who were not willing to go through 14 day ASQ. - Another 29997 were business related and new work permit holders. There were 3 legitimate tourists, who were spotted bar hopping (i mean restaurant hopping) in khao san road over the weekend.

Like any other country, Nigeria also has its fair share of bad eggs. They account for 20% of Africa's population. Its also common for any other central or west african to be painted nigerian when caught for any mischief. When we talk about banning visas for Nigerians; Lets not forget the investments western corporates have in Nigeria, Chevron- Texaco, Exxon-Mobil, Total, Shell, BP, Schlumberger, Sinopec, Cnoc, Saipem, Sheraton, Hilton, Accor, followed by mid sized businesses. Hundreds of thousands of Caucasians, and Asians happily work in Nigeria and those who lost their opportunity would happily go back for the right employer. Which country represents one of the largest immigrant population in London? Lets be cautious when making such blanket suggestions.

You hit the nail on the head BTS & malls have more transient head count. BTS is way more packed than any bar. If BTS has been functional, wonder how bars are more risky. unless, alcohol is the covid medium.- 114 replies

Most new infections from entertainment venues: Phuket health official
mjakob007 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
If only one had access to 'test positivity ratio', can one measure rising or falling infections. Else, infection rate can be manipulated by the number of tests being done -

Thank you, Joe. Would that be the country of first boarding or country of transit? Some flights available to us have more than 24 hour layover, hene the question. -

Thank you, Joe. I appreciate your response. Should the PCR test be within the 72 hours window upon arrival in Thailand? -
Foreigners in Thailand warned about not wearing face masks
mjakob007 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
My spouse (thai national) traveled to thailand and she did not require PCR test. Is it the airline that you are using that is mandating a PCR test for your wife? -
Few questions to anybody who has gone through 7 day sandbox, AFTER introduction of new rules on 1st November. 1. Did you have to obtain CoE from Thai embassy or do you complete Thailand pass? 2. At which stage and to whom should we produce the covid test (within 72 hours of flight), prior to boarding? 3. For those of us who have a transit (assuming flying from johannesburg, on qatar air), should the covid test be 72 before boarding the flight at Doha or is it 72 hours before boarding Jo' burg. Thank you for taking time to respond

Foreigners in Thailand warned about not wearing face masks

Hub of differential rules & laws... Did we not have anutin feature in public appearance with no mask on! Thai nationals not required to have covid test before boarding a flight to thailand, but foreigners should have one and risk being infected. Covid related measures have further exposed double standards here -
To add to the complexity of Thai pass, two are factors that are now discouraging tourists destined for Thailand. 1. Fear of being tested positive - could mean being seperated from families, hospitalised during your time off and insurance denying payment. one could be out of pocket by 350,000 baht per infected family member. 2. Most tourists like to have a drink or two either with their meal or otherwise. No nightlife, how many tourists would want to spend christmas & new years in misery?

And the public has been demanding fearless leader to handover to someone who knows what they would be doing, in a critical situation. both fell on deaf ears
