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.

What about over Hat Yai. I usually do that trip on my way to KL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH CARIB,JACK,ELVIAJERO and EVERYBODY.

Thanks again.

Hi, I am one of the looser after the new rules for the retirement visa.
I hope UBONJOE read my topic. He knows very much about what I am asking for.
8 years I've been in Thailand with my retired visa with an 800 000 THB in the bank account.
Now they change the rules and I have to transfer to a Thai Bank from Sweden 65000 THB every month.
I don't have that income. I am 80 + and I survive on 30000 THB monthly because I can't drink alcohol and can't make a lady happy. So I pay my rent and eat a little every day and drink water and look at the birds.
My question is after I leave Thailand when I come back as a tourist how long time maximum a year can I stay in Thailand???? Do they give me 3 months visa the first time? After that if I go to Malaysia and come back again , Do I get 1 month more visa and how many times I can do that ?
Or shall I go to Malaysia or Vietnam for 3 months and come back again or maybe Philippines .
The problem is I can't stay in cold in Scandinavia. I have less pain when the temperature is round 30 degrees.
THANKS VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE. THANK YOU UBONJOE.
So Thailand loose me and I can't stay in Africa there they kill each other and my life is ending soon.

Hi There,
I have a friend who is coming to Thailand for the first time.
I am here with a retired visa yearly. I don't know more.
This guy is also retired but wants to stay here about 6 months maybe 8 months.
I know he can get 1 month when he arrive from Europe ,
And he can make it to 3 months if he leaves the country and come back,
But can he make it longer ?
What does he need to do ?
Thanks in Advance,

This is not a tlger of the year, this is a year of monkey. And it is no meaning to go to a Chinese temple or Budha temple as far as you don't want to become a slave to a demon after this life and born again and burn again infinitive and stay in hell forever with your best friends but the pain is awful and forever. you shall never ever feel the happiness again.

Hej Chopin2,
There is no better music exists in the whole World and the Universe.
You are right,,,, now it comes the result.
Today the best exchange place in BKK give you 3.60 THB for a SEK.
And if I send my pension to a Thai Bank from a Swedish Bank , I get 3,57 THB for a SEK... ( 3 satang lower )
And ordinary Bank Exchange in Thailand, they give you 3,48 THB for a SEK. ( 12 satang lower )
55555555 , Very Funny,,,,,
And it is going like that until October 2015 ,,, minimum..
Because of the decision from ECB.
So what are we going to expect ?
1 US$ = 1 Euro ,,,, maybe.
1 SEK = 3 THB ,,,,, maybe . Maybe 2,50 THB.
Anyway, everything is lost already. What does it matter if 1 SEK = 1 THB ...
We can not live like Thai people do. They survive with 50 THB a day.
Go back to Sweden and go to a Swedish hospital when you are ill is worst. It happened to me once because of a kidney stone. Never again. Bad nurses , bad doctors, when you need them , push the button but nobody show up.
It was terrible . And because you are old nobody care much. That's their policy. They want to get rid of you , They don't want to pay more pension.
Here when you had some money , than you go to a private hospital. It's wonderful. You get respect with your money.
But now that possibility has disappeared .
Probably I move to BKK to a 15th floor building. To an small apartment , maybe 3000 a month.
That kind of apartments has very easy solutions, these are free solutions and they are very effective and they never miss.. You read about it often in the news. It's very common and popular solutions.
You have what you've done all your life. Actually there is not much to do more, you can't live to become 90.
Probably it's time to move now.
We'll see what shall it bring at the new place.
Maybe you born in another place there they are already fighting with each other and your mother try to protect you from them ... Ohhh my son....
Have a good day.

If you knew how to get a job at Thai airways. Than you understand the situation.
I can not tell you how to get a job there because they kill me if it comes out.
That is only the people know who asked for a job there, They are Thais of course, ordinary people who are without a job and full qualified for the job. They know it.
