Yes, why?
Then you are are a Thai citizen, but you are obviously not ethnically Thai. Maybe Scottish-Thai would be appropriate -- as in African American.

I've always taught them that they are half nothing, they are 100% Thai and 100% Scottish, as I am too.
Would Tiger Woods or Kenny Kravitz call themseves half-castes, or half Americans?
Would it be ok by your reckoning to call my kids Amerasian? I speak Thai and my wife speaks English, and to our knowledge the use of the the term "luuk kreung" to describe children of half Asian and half Caucasian parentage is not derogatory, nor does it translate to "half caste." Please point me to any evidence you have to the contrary.

No, I was replying to someone saying farang was for foreigners. I am not foreign, my nationality is Thai.
Do you have a Thai passport?

Has anyone actually received approval yet? I needed to apply twice to get a confirmation email, and 5 days hence am still under review.
I'll answer my own question: last night got a rejection notice stating the hotel failed to respond within 30 hours; messaged the hotel, and an hour later got an approval without submitting any further documentation.

I submitted my T&G app yesterday, no receipt confirmation email yet. Maybe they're swamped -- anyone else still waiting for a response?

Good news that they're at least considering it, but I'm not holding my breath.

I dunno.
Maybe 23 years living here with a Thai wife, Thai friends, Thai colleauges, Thai kids and a the usual extended Thai family bush.
Know lotsa people from all walks.
Suprisingly few hookers.
You know surprisingly few hookers, eh? So that qualifies you as an expert on the nocturnal activities of beer girls.
Are you Thai?
If you're a farang, what makes you think your marriage with a Thai woman puts you in a different category than every other expat with a Thai wife? Your girl is different, right?

Amazing how people can live in a country, yet not know it at all.
You are referring to yourself, one would presume? If not, what qualifies you as such an expert on all things Thai, and on beer girls in particular?

One of my (Thai) employees met his wife on a company night out. She was a beer girl, working that night.
Its horrific that you people presume they are hookers.
Then again - what can be expected from the sexually inept that came here because they got none back home.
Not really, they make more money by being pretty and flirting with male customers; why so horrific to presume they might take the next logical step? Given your attitude I could presume some horrific things about your good self too.
And she married one of her customers, so I guess folks weren't so far off base then, were they?

Good question, if Ubon Joe is reading this ,Joe my freind is panicking now as he is booked for the 22nd to enter via AQ facility, he has not made the AQ booking yet so will he be still able to enter this way???? as Mr Anutin says only people using the Phuket Sandbox can enter???
I just booked 7 day AQ today, so your friend need not panic.
-
Royal Thai Consulate Los Angeles clearly states that AQ is now 7 days for vaxxed, 10 days for unvaxxed, 14 days if coming from those dirty African countries. Anutin's statement was apparently not completely accurate... go figure.

Jack*ss made a series of mistakes leading up to the fairly predictable result. Had it not been a "knife" it would've been a length of 2x4 or quite possibly a gun, which many Thais are known to possess. Cheeky <deleted> told the bloke to go home; there's a trigger if there ever was one. Now the fool's afraid to leave his own house -- som nam na.

because they can, logical reasons are scarce when it comes to governance in Thailand, lack of intelligence may also be a factor
Same goes for postings on this forum.
The rule has to do with keeping it away from kids after school, but mom and pop shops are selling so they can still get it if they want.

Sometimes it's embarrassing, really, being a white foreigner here. At every Tesco Lotus, busy shop or market in the Pattaya area last month, I would estimate about 10% of foreigners were strutting about with their masks below their noses, as if they haven't a clue how it works. Maybe 1% of Thais are equally ignorant, but we are supposed to be more "civilized" than the natives... aren't we?

I always thought that watching pr0n in Thailand was supposed to be like sitting inside a ski lodge on a blue sky powder day watching Warren Miller films (sorry, only skiers will understand this reference).
Only skiers and chronic masturb8tors, of course ???? helping yourself is unnecessary in Thailand, because ready and willing helpers are so easy to come by ????????

I think to talk about ' quality ' is greatly exaggerated .
Just think about how many Thais are able to speak another language ...
In Isaan, most folks speak at least two languages. That's one more than most folks in the US and England can speak.

Wow profile name suits you. I did 15day quarantine twice not fun. I disagree with you 100%. Why should i be (triple vaxxed with Pfizer) willing to sit 7 days plus the 3 tests whilst a non vaxxed sits only 3 days longer? It should be 7/14. When i arrive my condo unvaxxed farangs are freely swimming and frolicing about. Hows that fair? Yes vaxxed can get covid. But it shouldnt kill you if you live a healthy lifestyle. FYI Most dying or on incubator are the NON vaccinated.
Lol I think you mean respirator not incubator, but I fully agree there is a huge difference between vaxxed and unvaxxed with regards to their respective threat to the public health. Anyone who has witnessed the carnage being done in the USA by the 30-40% of the population who stubbornly refuse to be vaccinated will agree that those folks probably shouldn't be allowed to travel at all, but if they are, ought to be subjected to the strictest quarantine possible.
I say if fully vaxxed and tested within 72 hours of departure -- and then rapid tested again upon arrival at the travellers expense -- folks should not be required to quarantine at all. Any still-unvaxxed travellers from Western countries need to do at least 15 days quarantine and probably ought to have their heads examined.

The management of my ALQ hotel just informed me as follows:
"The government announced that guest who arrived before announced can be quarantine 10 days even they had vaccinated"
It could have been better, but it certainly could have been worse; this trims 4 days off my quarantine period, and anyone who's done this before knows that's a big deal.
Who says they never throw us furriners a bone?

There is virtually no hope. The reduction in vaccination requirements is not for the benefit of the foreigner. It is an attempt to stimulate future demand to help the hospitality industry. They already have their claws into you, so there is no motive for them to throw you a present.
That, I'm afraid, is the long and short of it.

Here's my situation, no doubt shared by quite a few others:
I'm fully vaccinated. Got my COE from RTC Los Angeles in mid-September, designated quarantine period no less than 14 days per COE, and arrived at ALQ hotel on 21 September. Am scheduled for release on 6 October.
Now that the required quarantine period for vaccinated travellers has been reduced to 7 days as of 1 October, it stands to reason that I should be eligible for release on 1 October as I'll have completed 9 days of quarantine by then.
Does anyone have knowledge or experience from the last time quarantine was reduced to 7 days, of whether those already in quarantine might benefit from the reduction as well? The COE states that final decision on quarantine period is made by the Communicable Disease Control Officer (at the airport I surmise), but each subdistrict has their own Public Health Officer with authority as well.
Is there any hope of a sentence reduction for those of us already incarcerated?

Wrong. I came in on April 1 and my COE which was issued 2 weeks earlier said 14 day Q. After they reviewed my quarantine cert at the airport, the health officer gave me a new form that stated that my Q was changed to 7 days. Anyone who came in March 30th had to do the 14 days.
Nice. There is also a communicable disease control officer in each subdistrict. Perhaps he or she would agree to reduce the time for those in quarantine here who have already done 7 days but not yet 14?
