7/11 is okay charging ฿40 for a white generic cloth mask.

Dental clinics are closed. With lost fillings, either I make it through to when they re-open, or am carried into a hospital screaming in pain when abscesses form. Just a personal problem in riding out the lockdown.

I would check around more. Our clinics are passing routine checkups and non emergency appointments but are performing “emergency procedures by appointment fwiw.  

I’m both, got it. Did you visit irs website “get my payment “ and supply info to check your status?

Given the nature of CM officials' reaction to the virus, and their subsequent treatment of foreigners, I will NOT under any circumstances be returning there...for any reason.  Yes, I know I'm just one person, but there's no way I'm going to reward their xenophobia with a single baht out of my pocket.

What he said! 

Keep playing with it, you’ll go blind and won’t see it. Problem solved.

I was more looking for advice or suggestions from others in the same position.  My biggest fear is being locked out of the country and then not being able to return to my current job.

Is your flight out still open? Some foreign carriers have cancelled June BKK departures as they have been denied arrivals through May. 
  You’ll know the new foreigners entering Thailand policy before your planned departure so maybe just go into standby mode until you know more facts. 

“arrest Belgian for dangerous driving” obviously it’s an occupation reserved for Thais.  

Definitely sign language is the solution. 

Fly it in with your biggest suitcases paying for the additional baggage and weights as necessary and then put it on a cart and roll through the nothing to declare exit lane.

Lol and get one for a known felon with an arrest warrant. Good plan. 

It was painful but I read through the whole thread as early on it became a clear lesson in How Not To try and get your way in a deal gone bad. I was hoping for a conclusion but I’m gonna have to cut my losses here. 

Before the virus I inquired in person about online 90 day In Khon Kaen and the lady laughed it off and said mail it in is better. They’re a pretty organised office and she expressed a firm vote of no confidence in that aspect of their system.

"If you file your return more than 60 days after the due date or extended due date, the minimum penalty is the smaller of $135 or 100 percent of the unpaid tax."

Good to know. It’s changed. $135 to forget about it if you don’t owe anything or they owe you. 

My experience is if you don’t owe or if they owe you money you can file anytime in the future without penalty. I never filed years on end when I was young as I was due a little or owed nothing. Might look that up to confirm and forget about it until mail system is running in a way you’re comfortable. 

Guessing a fit to fly certificate, ฿100,000 insurance and a 14 day hotel reservation for quarantine. 

Not sure about your cadaver plan. Chance is if you pass at home somebody will wash and powder you, dress you in your best and have you in a chiller box in the living room before sun up waiting to “make a fire” in a few days. Been there, done this up here in Issan. 

Social distancing on trains? 

I’m wearing a motorbike helmet if they ever come for me.

Fun video to watch.

Would a foreigner get away with 20 push ups?

 

Many I’ve seen couldn’t. Maybe 25 kilos ago yes. 

Google SRT Timetable to check status. 
Currently everything is suspended. The worlds lost its mind. 
 

Be easier to find without blocking his eyes but the fat <deleted> look with a FuManchu ought to be easy enough spot.

Who would my wife contact upcountry when the online application system won’t accept her submission stating the last for digits of her national ID are incorrect when clearly they are correct enough for every other purpose from banking to her passport and international travel.

Thank you for your input KMartin

 

Will be doing exactly as you advise  and I too have a fantastic relationship with my Mrs and so will be dutifully going up to see Papa  as well.

 

In any event I am very fond of the old lad  who although lives alone is well taken care of by a lady from the village but with no family going to see him at Songkran ( all the family live in Oz  apart from us in Pattaya)  and his lovely wife   (Mama)  passing away not so long ago he is feeling very sad and alone, at 80 odd years he is entitled to feel a little sorry for himself as well.

  

The fact is that he is not at all well and perhaps very understandably  very depressed, it's not nice to think you may  die alone  especially when there are people who you love and whom you  love, kept away by the "social distancing rules".

 

Along with many parents and indeed children up in the villages who this year have not had the opportunity to see and visit with their loved ones, papa is feeling lost!

 

For me the problem is the "Quarantine rules" the thought of 14 days up in the village and then another 14 days on return to Pattaya is very very daunting!

You’re welcome. Maybe the quarantine bit is over thought. Depends on the headman or local clinic nurse in the village. They came to talk with my BKK bil and seemed they just wanted him to wear a mask, everyone to use sanitizer and forget social distancing lol. Now my mil is the one alone but we’re only 10 km and she’s healthy. Good luck
