The solution,as arrived at by surrounding countries, takes as long to get to in minutes as the IQ of a typical government official....so about FIVE.

Anyway, lost tourism means only 9% to 17% of GDP that needs to be replaced. Pretty sure the already mature services sector can fill the gap and the younger more agile generation of workers will easily retrain and adapt.
The notion that Thailand will become a total basket case after all the foreigners stop coming is quite funny. Did you come up with that one yourself?
'Only' 17% of GDP shows your economic illiteracy. I guess you haven’t or had the mental capacity to read the significant slowing of growth in Thailand in the last couple of years. To imagine that size of loss as insignificant when the country emerges into a global recession post Coronavirus indicates an IQ lower than a typical government minister.

Why did they enter after March 10? By late Feb it was clear travel would be a problem. No sympathy for people like this.
Does your 'no sympathy' extend to unnecessarily spreading the virus amongst both the tourists and thecThais they inevitably come into contact with?

All tourists should have left 3 weeks ago. Don't these whingers read the news. Forget holidays for 9 months.
That’s certainly one thing tourists will be doing and for many years ,not just 9 months - forget considering Thailand as a holiday destination. The government’s behaviour will ensure the lack of recovery of their tourist industry.

The problem started with'My little China girl' and in terms of a reasoned and intelligent Government response to expiring visas you may have well have asked 'Is there life on Mars?'

I am the OP and still have no idea whether I can use B10 or B20.
On another slightly off-topic question, why did the Thais call diesel with alcohol B20 and not D20. Too logical I guess
I looked into this re my 2015 Isuzu pickup. After some contradictory advice my good local dealer turned up a proper directive from Isuzu that it could, but only after specific modifications which they showed me and would cost 2700 baht. I suspect similar would apply to your vehicle and I certainly would not use B20 without being absolutely sure . B10 ok though.

So u don't watch the footy from UK, u know, when it's on.
I go to bed abnormally early so I can wake up at 2 - 3 AM to watch it, back in bed by 5 for another couple of hours.
I'm a Cardiff fan, so most times I am back in bed early.
No need to do that. A couple of sites you can watch VOD of the matches without knowing the results in the morning when you wake up normally

too bad with all your countries' smarts (lol) that they're going down the toilet because of their concern of money over lives - you sound like those chuckle heads in Phuket..

Then you’ve just got to explain the Thai government’s lack of willingness to spend any money or efforts on addressing the 25,000 deaths on the roads annually (about the world’s worst). Then look at the Gini inequality index to see who gets the most money.

Wouldn't have an issue with that except the majority of comments seem to always reek of thinly veiled racism, what's funny is that those who feel they're from 'better countries' are sadly awakening to the fact that they're not any better and in some cases worse - for their governments care more about money than lives. This is being proven out day after day but I'm still reading moronic comments from those who falsely believe they are superior lol..
When I examine the respective positions of my country in the PISA educational tables or average IQ it does indeed suggest it is better. Then on examining the Road death statistics it indicates that my government cares by a factor of 25 x more than the Thai one. Playing the racist card as a response to inconvenient truths is a poor substitute for reasoned argument.

Approx 120 new cases every day. You wonder if this reported linear increase is because the number of tests that can be carried out is limited to a very low number. You would think there should be some exponential increase by now.
How many government officials do you imagine understand ‘exponential increase'? ????

Another utterly inane response to what many consider the coming zombie apocalypse. Deprive the masses of the little bit of enjoyment and stress relief they have. Are they inviting a crime spree? What gives here? Where is the sanity and reason? This guy should be quarantined.
Just another in a long line of examples of the Thai 'Thick Gene' and IQ deficiency.

Voucher is worth zero if the airline goes bust
Go for MONEY refund,not voucher which could become worthless. If you paid by credit card under the consumer credit act the card company is jointly liable for non delivery of goods or services. Contact them and put in a claim for refund on your card.

Any other prime minister in any other country would have flushed Anutin out of the government house the minute he farted about the non-mask-wearing farangs to be kicked out of the country.
Sweet little Anutin then took it a step further in the world's-most-air-polluted-town of Chiang Mai. He hardly saw anything, with compliments of the slash-and-burning sugarcane and corn field farmers (following marching orders of CP and similar big wigs), yet referred the world's present pandemic crisis to the "dirty farang".
Now he is sputting over his own personnel - this man is more than an utter disgrace to Thailand and its people, its government. His inferiority complex towards anything caucasian (that's the official idiom for "farang") is on record; well, with this behaviour he is more than certifying his inability to run a noodle shop, let forget an entire (rather important) ministry.
But he is in good company, the deputy agricultural minister with a dodgy PhD and a proven track of "flour" trading is also teflon-coated.
Honestly, can Thailand not come up with real professionals like, say, Singapore? The ministers are appointed and not elected though - in Thailand that is!
Thailand vs Singapore? Firstly, for raw ingredients examine the PISA educational tables where they are on opposite ends of the spectrum with Singapore consistently top of all three categories. Singapore then has a policy of searching out the cream for appointments to senior civil service positions and pays them big money vs Thailand’s nepotistic appointment of incompetents. Singapore devises well thought through policies and ensures it is strictly followed . That’s country’s underlying philosophy is that as it has no natural resources it’s major resource HAS to be its population.
So no,Thailand cannot imitate that,nor has the will.- 4

Possible the most sensible comment to have come from the government to date. If people ignore the peril and keep socialising this virus will sweep rampantly through the country.
Any sense totally obviated by the mindless insistence to cluster together at immigration offices for pointless procedures.

As a rough guide think of the most stupid,incompetent,illogical thing Thai officialdom could come up with and then be prepared to witness them surpassing even that. The Thick Gene is all pervasive.
