That is from the OP and is what I was referring to.
I still have not seen anything about that increase payment for pensioners due to Covid.
Meanwhile, those on the dole have been getting an extra $500 per fortnight for many months, and from end September those on the dole will get $250 a fortnight until end December (at least).
Pensioners being ripped off yet again - unbelievable.
You get one of the best pensions in the world.. you should be able to live on it quite comfortably here..

47 minutes ago, MajarTheLion said:Trump killed thousands of Americans because Joe Biden says so? Specious claim. But let's set that aside and take it at face value for the sake of discussion and debate of the principle communicated. Does that then mean the individual governors who made their own decisions on how to handle COVID-19 also killed Americans? I would love to know why that wouldn't seem reasonable.
No not because Joe Biden says so.. because Trump admitted on tape to Woodward that he knew the virus was deadly and easily spread at the same time he was telling American people that it was a hoax.. Trump abandoned his responsibility to all of America and undermined the governors and prevented them from receiving the information and equipment they needed. But of course you will continue to believe that it is all a hoax and anti Trump conspiracy... Amazing!

Does anyone know if the International Driving Permit (IDP) applicatiion form is available to download online in Thailand?
A International driving permit has to be sourced from the country your license is from.. I got mine from my automobile association in Australia.. online application.. the problem now is that there is very limited overseas mail delivery.. getting it here is the problem..

An older guy goes in for a haircut.. The rather pretty young hairdresser gets him seated in the chair and spreads the chair cloth over him and secures it snugly around his neck. She starts to trim his hair.. she notices some movement under the chair cloth.. the movement gets rather vigorous.. She stops.. calls him a dirty old man.. gives him a good wack with the hair dryer and runs off crying.. The salon manager comes over to see what the problem is...
It turns out he was polishing his sunglasses under the cloth...

Desperate measures for desperation times.. At least they keep a few of their people employed. They keep their food facilities operational and ready to go. I have always enjoyed my in-flight meals on Thai Air.. I wouldn't drive out of my way to get one but it sure beats the burger and chicken franchises.. All the gloomy pessimistic TV keyboard junkies will no doubt have plenty of disparaging comment to make. Try looking on the bright side for a change..

I think the US Fed freeze on interest rates and intention to let inflation rise above the 2% benchmark is the elephant in the room.. $Au is already appreciating..

What happens when they are 10 days into their quarantine and another load of tourists turn up. Do they go to a seperate hotel.
For it to really work the airlines would have to run like a package tour , where everybody on that plane stays in the same hotel.
So you would need 14 seperate quarantine hotels to accommodate 14 days of " package tours " to stop later arrivals mixing with the earlier arrivals.
Could work..

...I don't think it will be like locked up in a 35 sq m condo.. they would have resort facilities and limited access to the outdoors.. I did 14 days at home on my own with half the house screened off with plastic sheeting.. my wife brought me meals.. I had access to the garden... TV.. internet.. and the odd beer... wasn't that bad.. If I had access to a beach and a pool I'd do it again if it was on Samui..

No Increase to Aus Pension
in Home Country Forum
I believe the dole is about to be cut back.. I thought there were 2 $750 payments.. I got one as I had been visiting Australia early in the year but missed the second one as my concession card had expired by then. I'm glad I'm here in the land of smiles.. I know it is hard to get by on the pension there with high rents and electricity and other charges.. I have a few friends stuck there now with no idea of when the might be able to return.. I was there in March.. I got nervous and cut my stay short.. I got back March 17th I think it was... with 5 hours to spare!! I'm very thankful I made it back!
