Thank you Onlywhenimportant .
Thank you Prince77.
I think I have to decide not to go.
Everything feels like I am going to be cheated SPECIALLY after I've found out that EVEN my 100 000 US $ insurance is not valid when I arrive to Thailand but first 2 weeks after SOOOOO IF I GET ILL AND TAKEN TO A HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT ,,, INSURANCE IS NOT GOING TO PAY FOR IT . Probably I have to pay 200 000 THB monthly to the Hospital.
I talk to my wife and she says WAIT UNTIL 1st of October , then everything is over.
Maybe she can come and visit me during the time.
I was going to come back in June but 3 months more makes 7 500 quid more expenses,,,, no problem.
Thank you all, but we have it better in Europe. Development.
Cheers, Everybody

Hi, I have to leave Thailand for 2 months and come back. For that I need 100 000 US $ Insurance they said, I FIXED IT. For that I need PCR test, 72 hours before departure ( also FIT TO FLY Certificate ) IT IS EASY TO FIX THEM . For that you must have a valid visa and re-entry visa they said , OK I HAVE THEM TOO . For that you need a COE certificate they said, YOU HAVE TO DO THIS ONLINE They said, nobody can help you they said. Web side is : coethailand.mfa.go.th . Ok. You go in there and fill your name and address abroad and Thailand and passport number, spouse information and scan 3 pages of your passport and a photo and your Insurance certificate etc.
When you come to the end THEY TELL YOU , WAIT A LITTLE YOU SHALL GET A 6 DIGIT K CODE and THAI EMBASSY IN THAT COUNTRY IS GOING TO ANSWER YOU IN 3 DAYS. The reality is Thai Embassy is going to answer you in 6 days, WHY they say we were busy. They tell you to do this to do that ( another 6 days ) But you have only 15 days to wait, if you have paid your flight and the Quarantine hotel you have to cancel , Airline give you some money back but the hotel keep your money if you cancel in less than 10 days before your arrival.
Actually many times people don't get this 6 digit code and sometimes you get an answer from the Thai Embassy * YOU ARE REJECTED * without any explanation why.
This is what I have learned about and still I do not know when and how shall I pay the Quarantine Hotels and see their prices and when shall I buy my flight ticket.
And did you know that after you get that COE certificate * IT IS ONLY VALID 15 DAYS * If you are late the whole circus start all over again.
There is a web side * hsscovid.com * for Quarantine hotels. But there is no price list. You have to go in and check every hotel, do you want balcony etc. then you get the price afterwards * 65 000 Baht * you get a shock. Probably you have to check every hotel for a lower price, it can take a week.
Insurance web side is * covid19.tgia.org * There they give you an insurance ( only covid ) immediately. The price was for me 43 500 Baht. I looked for a cheaper insurance and I have found one , it costed 30 000 Baht yearly but it took 2 weeks.
Probably other countries ( Malaysia ) also very difficult to enter now the pandemi is on and it can go on FOREVER. Because now in Sweden they have found plenty of COVID19 virus in nature and kanalisation waters and everywhere . The virus doesn't die so easly. And you go there one day pick some fruit and you touch your nose and mouth and get the virus and a new PANDEMI starts. This can happen any day because the virus has come to the World to STAY.
I am going away but I need help , Is there anybody know when shall I pay the hotel and how to pay, after I get my COE certificate or before and when is the best time to pay also the flight together with the hotel and do you know a nice hotel on Phuket not so expensive.
Thank you very much for listening.
I can help you with all difficulties I have met when I am through this.
God help me.

Of Course I do have Re-entry permit, It was a 1000 THB extra ( + 1900 ) When I renew my Non O retired visa. Thanks a lot JOE.
You know it's not good to change your life style and the climate when you are old, if you do it your chances to live go down to 50 % on your chance to go living which is 20 %. The result is at the end only 10 % chance to live. That is nothing compare to 100 %. That's why it's better to come back than to move out. Also good to find out why you are still alive. The day you are not needed is the last day of your life.
You are needed and I am also needed to need .
But where do we go after all that ??????
Nobody answer to that correct....
My answer is ::: You go to a place there you are needed, CORRECT.
WHAT DO YOU SAY ?
HAVE A NICE COLOURFULL DAY .

I shall try my best.
Joe, Do you know about the length of the insurance ?
Do I have to take 1 year insurance?
Thaks a lot.

Hello, Do you have any experience of an insurance company to give the 100 000 $ health insurance to over 65 year old retired.
Have you got it before ? It is very difficult to find out .
Could you tell me the name of the company and how much did it cost for a year ?
And Do you have to take the insurance for a year or is it enough for 3 months ?
Thank you very much, I am gratefull for your answers.
Cheers to Everybody

Thank You BRUIN ,
That was very interesting.
Recently I have meet a Thai Woman who has been to 16 days Quarantine after a trip to Sweden with her husband.
She traveled back to Thailand alone.
She had paid 40 000 THB for the 16 days quarantine for a small hotel room without a window.
The food was horrible and cold every time she said.
The same place another thai lady had jumped out from the window and died, that's why they give rooms to stay only without window.
Few days after she arrived I meet her.
She still had pain in her throat after these PCR tests they test on her.
They did it with a long stick.
Of course they have no education for that, they don't know how to do. However they got the job !!!!!
Please GOD don't make me to go to an hospital.
They are going to kill me, false nurses and doctors.
Take Care Al.

Hi, Is there anybody have the experience how to get the Covid PCR Test at Phuket Airport, 72 hours before the flight? Now a days every Airline ask for the test before entering the plane.
I couldn't find any place to get the test in Pangnga. Maybe there are some on Phuket but probably very expensive. I have heard , it costs 4000 + in Bangkok, maybe up to 10 000 THB .
Here in Thailand everybody take the opportunity to earn more money, probably is the same all over the World.
Don't try the Maldives, you'll get in trouble but very nice islands , over there is no sweet water, that's the biggest problem because the islands are not big enough AND getting smaller every day.
In 10-20 years there are no islands over there left for sure. Take Care, Everybody Enjoy the day ,
We , the expats in Thailand becoming less and less everyday and
within 10-20 years there are no expats left in Thailand , We can't live forever......

Hi, I've heard some married foreigners with a Thai wife, Have been waiting abroad to come back to Thailand. They do have marriage visas.
But the problem was they can't take any flight to Thailand. They have to take the flight which Thai Embassy tells them. And sometimes it can take months to come back to Thailand because you have to stay in que.
Is that correct?
That means even if you have a marriage visa YOU CAN NOT take a trip out of Thailand and come back in a week. Of course you have to stay at quarantine first.
I hope somebody has experience about that.
Thanks

to fredob43,
Yes, I am married to a Thai Lady as well.
But I did not want to stay here with a marriage visa and to show her I did not marry her to get a visa in Thailand. That's why I have this Non-O Retired visa with 800 000 THB in my account.
AND I HAVE SEEN the Videos on YouTube about quarantine. You can't open doors or windows and you have to eat when they give you food ( no refrigator ) AND after 7 days you have write to go out to fresh air ( a balcony) for 45 minutes. Exactly the same as prison. I haven't been to prison in my life and I am not going to be in prison either. Forget it.
WE SHALL SEE WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DECIDE ON 30 SEPTEMBER.
PROBABLY 6 MONTHS MORE AS THE BANGKOK DOCTOR SAYS.

Hi, today I have learned that, if I leave Thailand,, I can not come back with a Non-O Retired Visa with Multiple Re-entry permit. They are going to send me back from the Airport.
They do accept only marriage visa and work visa they say and of course Thai citizens AND everybody has to go to 15 days quarantine too after arriving.
That means if you are RETIRED every year you have to be in your country some months to keep full retired-salary if you are not written in Thailand. If you go to your country you can not turn back to Thailand.
The last decision from Thai Government lasts until 30 September, than they shall decide to open the borders full or not.
This news I get from the Airlines and they tell me do not PURCHASE any ticket before 30 September because all the flights willl be cancelled in October. That depends on the Thai Governments decision, maybe they want to keep Thailand close longer,, We do not know.
So if I go next week, I can not come back even if I have MULTIPLE RE - ENTRY VISA.
Very sad.
Good Luck to everybody, I won't be in Thailand.

Hi everybody, today I tried to fix the 90-day visa online, it didn't work and I called the Immigration office and they said it's not working anymore , I have to visit the Immigration. They did not tell me that we are sorry we are trying to fix it, something like that. But they said , if I do not visit the immigration before 31st of August , I have to pay 2000 THB.
HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THE ONLINE VISA POSSIBILITY, ARE THEY GOING TO FIX IT ? The server for online must be in Bangkok and what I know ( if it is blocked ), it takes only 1 day to fix it. I told them I am ill and the distance to Immigration is 100 km. But nothing helps, I have to pay 2000 THB anyway. This Corona times is not good for everybody to travel but they want you to travel and pay more money. Hope the best.

No, if you have non-o visa you do not need any insurance. I talked to the Immigration in Nakhonsithammarat recently. But they can put me in quarantine in 2 weeks or a month.
Good luck.

Good and bad by Thailand. It worked for a while but no more.
I am so sorry about it. I can't help it.
There are always more beaches to find everywhere.
For example Canary Islands.

Hi, My Lap Top is getting old so I need to get a new one. So I checked Lazada computer notebooks. They have thousands of them. When I choose Dell it go down to few hundred specially pay at the door decreased the amount very much. I saw an i7 computer for a 26000 THB, which is a good price. I didn't buy that day and the next day it was sold out. And I start checking the other computers and noticed everyone had a sign * 1 item left * What is that ? Do they get second hand and repair and sell it like that OR it's a business to make people nervous and sell easily. HAVE YOU BOUGHT ANY COMPUTER from Lazada ?? I need your experience before I buy one. And I tell everybody if I am happy with it too. So I need your help. One more thing:: all the computers come with Thai language , how can I change the OPERATION SYSTEM to English ? Do you know it?? Does it cost extra too ?

Hi, interests are very low in Thailand and Thai Baht is starting become weaker. So , 6 months ago I went to KL and managed to open an account in MYR. That time FD gave 4 % and now is 2.45 % ,,, not so bad. And no tax on it if you are not American. Of course they check your passport and everything. Good Luck. It helped me to open an account at CIMB Malaysian Bank ,,,, because I had an Preferred Account at CIMB Thai Bank. You got it.

Did you know that police knew the murderer 3 days ago but kept quite and he fled the country. Because he is a relative to politicians I've heard.
I don't know how much it's true , I can't say. I've heard Thai people talking.
Thai relatives to the people who get killed. Ask them , they know.
So sad about this little boy. It must be very difficult for his poor mother.
Police has to bring this man back to Thailand again.

I've been here since 1990 , than and than. It's getting worst every year. 30 years ago , all thai women was smiling at me at Don muang , cuddling too. Now people look at you ,like why do you come here???? We don't want to see you, but your money. The hate in their eyes , you can see, THAT I never thought it existed before. Now I still stay here but AVOID in every situation to meet Thai people. Most difficult part at the Immigration every 3 months. There I have to meet them and it's terrible thing to do and to listen their language and of course nobody understand English or any other language. This is worst then Africa. But I am 80+ and I don't want to leave Mrs. Thai alone and not to make her sad . So I have decided to stay until I pass away BUT I will take the flight out of Thailand before I pass away and die somewhere else,,,, anywhere. I wish I want to know it 1 week before and I shall be very happy to pass away.
Wish happiness to everybody who read my answer.

Everybody eat it in SWEDEN, because it's cheap. They don't want to spend money for food, than look at them how they look like when they get old. 5 billion people in the world never touch blood. Even when they kill an animal they let the blood run out, they are Jews, Muslims and some other religions too. People in Scotland are famous to be greedy , it goes for the Swedes too. YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT. That is correct.

Hi, Even if I have been in Thailand very long time, I didn't know the Government buses had a low price tickets for everybody over 60 years old, not only for Thai people.
Last year on a bus trip, very kind retired thai man told me that. He said the low price is for everybody, Thai or Alien , it doesn't matter. I know I'm an alien. It writes on my thai stamps if they are in English. I feel like an Alien in Thailand.
So I tried to buy a reduced ticket for my next trip to Bangkok...… She said she has to ask her boss first, later said the boss told her reduced retired ticket only but only for Thai citizens. But I insisted then she said the tickets are sold out. No more tickets for me. Later when I see people coming there and buying tickets. The answer is they made order by telephone.
So I arrived to Bangkok another way and visited my Embassy. On the way back I arrived to The Bus Terminal Sai Thai Mai. I found the cashier for Government buses which is 999 at the second floor and asked for a reduced retired ticket and I bought it for round 400 Baht. There was no problem. Full ticket price is round 600 Baht.
Today I was on Phuket and I wanted to check if it works on Phuket. Government bus cashier at the Bus Terminal told me it's absolutely for only Thai Citizens. 100% sure about that even if I showed my low price ticket from Sai Thai Mai.
Then I saw there is an information disk. GOOD GOOD. I go there and ask them why they don't sell a reduced ticket to me from the Government Bus Cashier? She said reduced ticket is only for Thai Citizens. Then I showed her my reduced ticket. SHE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID INFORMATIONEN IS CLOSED.
Then I go to the neighbor ( taxi order ) and I asked when the information is open, he said it's open now, there is 2 women sitting there. I answered that woman telling me that information is closed. Then he laughed and came out and going to talk to them.
When I followed to the information they told me I have to go and talk to the POLICE about my reduced ticket. Where to find them. I had to go to a special building to find a tourist police. I didn't have time to do it. So they lie to my face for money.
Only 10 years ago you saw more happy thai people, 20 years ago much more. That means money can't make people more happy.
But today this happened to me, that's why I don't feel fine. I don't want that kind of things happen to us. Can't they be more honest and be happy???????
