Belittling? Really?

You'll kick yourself when you realise your mistake. Five times now ????

Read post #27 for clarity.

He just does not get it does he. I will have a go. @OnTheGround. Do not type *170*passport number#. Ok got that. Do this. (1) In your SMS text messages start a new text (2) In the recipiant field write 170 (3) in the message body write passport number, nothing else (4) press send

Hows that lol

it is exactly how things are done today - nothing has changed, in fact it has probably deteriorated over the last 6 years under total military control 

 

If you think Thailand has suddenly become honest and accountable these last few years you are deluded

 

Thailand is going backwards not forwards - hadn't you noticed 

 

 

this quote below is exactly what I have been saying for weeks, 60-70% of death certification is not performed by qualified people, and currently they have no wish or incentive to do so

 

Other reason of low quality COD is that 60-70% of the deaths occurred outside hospitals.
COD information in death certificate is provided by relative of deceased to village registrar who has no health or medical background. As the result, large number of COD information in civil registration system is ill-defined and questionable. 

I am convinced that you do not want this virus to go away. Your daily preaching from your soapbox is getting really tiring. Please try and be a bit more positive and give the Thai's a bit of credit. They are doing as well as they can with the national resources that they have.

That's funny, earlier today in the ThaiVisa newsletter there was an article that said Phuket had no new cases of covid.

https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1162271-phuket-officials-report-zero-new-confirmed-covid-cases/?utm_source=newsletter-20200502-0729&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=news

From the day before probably, these numbers are for today.

Might be true, sounds like pure speculation to me. Again where is the source of that information? Until its provided it remains rumour.

i just read that CEO of CP Thanin Chearavanont owners of 7-11 which sells alcohol - pledges 700 million baht to assist the government fight against Covid-19.

How is that relevant? Alcohol is a small part of their business.

My wife is also stuck in the U.K. we are on extension of stay and she is my dependant recently the Thai government announced that all foreigners had to have $100,000 health insurance policy which must have written in It that the police states you are covered from Corona virus this does not apply to Thai nationals there was also a requirement that both foreigners and Thai nationals must obtain a health certificate stating you are clear from Corona virus and this letter can be no older than 72 hours before you fly . I have already seen posts that Thai nationals who didn’t have this certificate were turned away at airports around the world my wife has already made  enquires in the U.K. on both issues and tells me that there is no chance of getting either requirement . It should also be noted if this couple were to return to Thailand they have to go into Quarantine for 14 days on a military base.

You have posted about this on at least 2 other threads about health certificate and insurance and I personaly have put you straight twice. Not needed, because these requirements were cancelled  by the banning of all incoming flights other than repatriation of Thai nationals. Now thats a 3rd time.

Workpermit holders not allowed in anymore?

No 100% not. This all changed when there was all that fuss around the repariation flight that Thai's arrived on and refused to go into quarantine. Remember that. Well since then no one exept government repatriation flights are allowed in. Thai's only. Strict 14 days quarantine.

You are also wrong. Anyone can not apply for the ฿5000 for three months. There are three categories of workers and one category is self-employed outside the social security system. They are the only ones who can apply for the money. The other two groups gets their money from other sources and will get rejected if they apply. 

I personally know someone who was paid the money via prompt pay direct into bank account. This person does not belong to any of the 3 categories. It was applied for directly on the site for the 5,000 baht. I dont know what other source you are referring too?

What is incorrect?

Unless you are a Thai, which the OP is not you would need the correct paperwork to get in.

A guy came with his Thai wife from S.Africa and was denied entry as he did not have the paperwork, she was let in.

Yes I remember that case. As I remember he was able to check in for his flight because at the time of check in Thailand did not require specific paperwork for foreigners. However the requirements changed whilst he was travelling. Therefore she was allowed in and he was not. If paperwork was required at the time he would not have been allowed to check in. The point I am trying to make and you are refusing to accept is that at this time until 31 May, no insurance, fit to fly or Negative Covid test is required for a foreigner because there are no commercial flights into Thailand with foreigners, only repatriation flights carrying Thai citizens only.

Good God

Talk about pedantic, suppose you would have a go at me for missing a comma., I am sorry I wrote "nigh on" Happy now mate?

Oh come on please. Its been all over the news that the are no incoming flights only repatriations. I was not being pedantic at all, I was just correcting your obvious error. You incorrectly stated paperwork and insurance was required and that was what I was getting at.

My daughter was initially rejected and told to re-apply which she did.  She received approval a few days ago.  She was employed and lost her jobs both in a restaurant and on stage (actress at Cicada)

She was entitled.  However, my wife's mother was asked for details by the headman and he claimed as a block.  Within days he was round giving everyone their 5 grand which they will get for the next couple of months.  My wife's mother HAS NEVER WORKED.  She owns some rooms and collects rents which she still does.  Her handout is a bonus.

Being a 'farang' I have to keep my nose out, but it's a disgrace.

I'm sure this is replicated all over Thailand, corruption being acceptable.

Personally, I hope she gets found out along with the rest of the fraudsters.  But...... TIT.

It is quite common I am afraid. A free give away to many that do not qualify for it. The process is flawed and ill conceived.

Many countries would let you in but we all know that it's nigh on impossible to get back IN to Thailand with all the paperwork that's now required not to mention insurance

Lol and someone actually gave you a like. Where have you been these last 4 weeks or so. It is impossible to enter Thailand until 31 May, that may be extended. Only Thai's on repatriation flights and some Thai's entering by land. Every entry is strictly controlled an 14 days mandatory quarantine in a state facility. 

OP your understanding is wrong. Anyone can apply but yes you do need your ID card number and a good story on the application. There are many who have lied about being unemployed and have been given the 5,000.

So is the booze ban to continue?!

That will be decided by the individual provinces. The ban is not part of the state of emergency.

From CCSA briefing live. Ban on international incoming flights and Curfew extended to 31st May

Watching the CCSA briefing. The curfew, ban on domestic travel and incoming international flights extended until May 31st

Of course, it should be that there is no alchohol to buy, but as I can personally confirm, as of two hours ago it was freely available locally to here, with queues akin to a free food handout. Must be well connected to do that. Same place when we had the coup 10PM curfew had huge queues throughout the night. Pattaya checkpoints less than a mile away too!

Location please lol

You need to wake up and smell the coffee

They use thaienquirer.com as their source for Thailand????????????which is a two bit website with ONLY 3,000 likes on FB

https://ddc.moph.go.th/viralpneumonia/situation.php

Is that meant to impress me, a Thai language only website. You need to adjust your attitude, always thinking you are right. When the chances are your not. People like you who have to pretend they are right all the time are inevitably wrong most of the time.
