None had to pay for the government hospital or the field hospital. This could be because both the adults, teacher and parent work full time and pay Thai social security.

Thank you for your detailed follow up, it is much appreciated. The only point I would make is that international school teachers do not pay Social Fund contributions.

In the context of this discussion that is positive, as a non-contributor to the Social Fund was treated for free.

As this topic is now becoming quite detailed, would a knowledgeable member be able to make a list of covid-19 insurers that:

a. Have confirmed that they will pay for field hospital/hospitel stays

b. Have confirmed that they will not pay for field hospital/hospitel stays

c. Have not confirmed their position

I think this would be very useful for the community.

Thank you

If you can get the OTP delivered to your phone it should work. With some Thai sim cards you have to get roaming enabled as it is disabled by default.

AFAIK you can't cross from Thailand to China without stepping either in Burma or Laos. Closest distance from Thailand (Chiang Rai) to China (Xishuangbanna, Yunnan) is a good 250-300km by road....

 

So how does this work?

Normally by air to Changshui (KMG)or Xishuangbanna (JHG).

It depends where you are travelling to.

If you are travelling to Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Vietnam or Yunnan province in the People's Republic of China you can take out up to THB 2,000,000.

If you are travelling anywhere else you are allowed to take out up to THB 50,000.

You need to declare your cash to a customs officer if you are taking out an aggregate amount exceeding 450,000 Baht or USD 15,000 or its equivalent.

You can find out how to do that here.

Your transit and destination countries may have their own declaration limits and procedures.

What about the other way around? Using a Thai QR code to receive money?

No. You cannot use a foreign bank app to scan a Thai QR code. It will not work. This is because international bank transfers require a SWIFT/IBAN number, and those are not embedded into a Thai QR code that is generated by a Thai banking app.

Your foreign bank app would scan the QR code, then have absolutely no idea which country in the world payment should be sent to. Don't forget that some Thai QR codes are linked to PromptPay, so all the QR code contains is a phone number.

How would a foreign bank app send payment to a phone number that doesn't even contain an international dialling code?

An off topic post has been removed.

Not if you are using a Thai banking app to make the payment.

As previously stated, the land title will be Sor Por Gor, which is where the right to farm the land is granted to an individual or family. The holders of this right do not own the land. They get to utilise the land only.

One of the conditions is that the land does actually need to worked.

I wonder how many staff it takes to contact trace between 2-3,000 cases per day?

I do know one advantage of increased capital is I could hire more foreign staff.

If you also additionally employ the correct ratio of Thai staff.

Non-B based on work is a breeze, by the sounds of it. My school does the paperwork...

A somewhat more substantial set of documents is required for non-teachers.

Am I liable for damages in this scenario?

Yes. You are completely liable. The car was stationery and your bike hit it. The fact that the car was not in a parking space has nothing to do with it. On private property vehicles are not obliged by law to be in a parking space.

You cannot blame the vehicle for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Your actions caused the damage. One question that is always asked is what if it wasn't a parked car... What if is was a child? Would it be the child's fault for standing there?

Thailand has 270 COVID-19 testing laboratories, with each lab having the capacity to test around 81,000 samples a day.

As has been previously mentioned, this equates to about 21 million tests per day. One year ago Taweesilp Wissanuyothin, the  spokesperson for the Ministry of Public Health and the Center for the COVID-19 Situation Administration stated that with a total of 97 laboratories nationwide there was a testing capacity of 20,000 tests per day. That's about 2,000 tests per day, per laboratory.

One year later, the average testing capacity of each laboratory is about 78,000 tests per day. Believable or not? You decide.
