If this goes, it may end in civil war. Are those guys that stupid ? USA is becoming the absolut shame of the world, with this barbarian crusade back in the past. I can not even say of the civilised world. That's definitely not civilisation, but prehistoric obscurantism. And it's not just about abortion, witch is a not arguable right of women. Same with sex. What's next ? Put in prison adulterians ? gays ? No condom sex (in the name of health) ?... Total shame.

Officials Reveal Thailand Pass Could End by June
Sambotte replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
And another non-sense ???? Johnson is one shot. Booster is 3 month after last shot i think. Recovered need only one extra shot right now. And what the point between scrapping TP and increasing the mandatory shots ?... To say the least... -
Thai Pass - API Server Error
Sambotte replied to ExpatOilWorker's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
FG = Free to Go ? Tried at 00:01, was fine for me. Question : it is possible to come before the date ? Looks like... I can change the flight ticket. BUT : -> I doubt i can change the insurance (but i could take an extra one maybe) -> Risky for boarding ? (main question). And at arrival ? (i doubt since it's just for free tax/money). -
Thai Pass Covid Insurance
Sambotte replied to twix38's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Is that confirmed ? Would be stupid to not accept pdf, insurance for example sent a pdf. EDIT : actually very easy to convert on a mac. No problem. -
Thailand’s Health Minister won’t stop legalization of vaping
Sambotte replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Makes me laugh. War on the smokers, war on the vapot..heu...ers... But nothing, absolutely nothing serious, done for pollutions ! Fields burning, car/truck exhausts, even trash burning... Kill WAY more than cigarettes (there are datas about that). Same with ganja : be a good drug addict with pills, and boose, but hey what ? you smoke ganja sometimes ? You are an addict ! a criminal ! ???? This world is just so stupid. ???? -

Vietnam for someone who's only lived in Thailand
Sambotte replied to jimihendrix's topic in Vietnam General Chat
Noise. For me that's a huge difference. Scooters all klaxon (horn ?) all-the-time ! (and nobody will stop to let pedestrians pass, btw). And generally much more noisy, not as polite, not so good quality. Nothing too bad though... if you can deal with the noise (i cannot). -
Insurance for post May TP entry
Sambotte replied to ExpatOilWorker's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Looking for this *** ... FWD has the front page en english, but if i choose "buy online", it's in Thai language... ???? How to buy this thing with no complication ? I need the acceptance to be quick, and the policy to be accepted for TP, that's all. -
Provinces Make Clear Intention to Declare COVID-19 Endemic
Sambotte replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
But but but... Land of Smile ? ???? -
It's a bet... that the old system is still in full operation (i mean as quick/as slow), the hotel send the confirmation (knowing they may have to refund), etc. And that it will be quicker than wait the 29.4 nobody knows. I have a stupid question btw : Do one need to put a phone number when applying ? The confirmation has to be on the phone ? Or could be on paper or computer ? Because it bother me a little, have to think roaming maybe, or can i use my Thai number once arrived ? If i remember they say somewhere you have to download ThaiChana something... on arrival is ok ?

Why can’t the Thai Govt speed up opening the doors to tourism?
Sambotte replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
No need of tests for vaccinated. Insurance is requested for both. The tricky thing is now to anticipate the DELAY of Thai Pass approval. Because you first have to buy the air ticket i guess. Could be a LOT of registrations the first weeks starting 29.4 What you guys do you think ? 2-3 days for approval ? 1 week ? More ? -
Is that sure ? I mean, i did not read it, but did not search. Amazing good news anyway this end of the Test and Lotery ! Was not expecting this before months, or at best weeks. Now just hope the Land of Smile will get rid quick of the mask (Land of Mask not being too appealing for tourism either), the business restrictions, the color zones... But hope has return ! ????

If Thailand is getting tougher for expats, how about Vietnam?
Sambotte replied to webfact's topic in General Topics
Vietnam is very noisy. Millions of scooters, all horning (klaxon) non-stop !!! Day or night. Same in Philipines, crazy traffic noise, permanently ! Thailand does not have this problem (it's a "can not stay long" problem for me, i do not like to live in massive noise). And there are many, many, other differences. Personnaly i would rather consider Cambodia or Laos, before Vietnam. But Thailand is the most "civilised" country (i mean confortable, modern, polite), by far. And if i am not wrong, the only good visa for long stay is the Elite Visa. They just don't want to keep the cheap charlies ???? -
Thailand further eases entry restrictions for international travellers
Sambotte replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Wow. Big surprise, i was thinking july or june at best. CONGRATULATIONS ! I'll be back ???? -
Excellent news, if confirmed and real enough. I was not expecting May, i am still not. But the main issue is about medical incarceration (for money rip-off). "and a shortening of the quarantine period for infected visitors with mild symptoms" Not good enough. The rule for Thais is "no hospitalization", it has to be the same for foreigners. Right now it's a total medical non-sense, so definitely a gross rip-off. The more they wait to withdraw this rip-off, the more people will find it unacceptable, damaging Thailand image and business. So what's left if this news is confirmed ? - Vaccine ok (i mean still like most other countries) - Insurrance... ok. - Thai Pass is just hurting tourism. - Test on arrival is still pretty bad, if connected to forced hospitalization with no symptoms. They could make it simple ASAP, omicron is everywhere in the country already, business need to restart now (many other countries have understand this). And btw they could get rid of masks, restrictions on businesses, etc.

Tourist Visa - Is outbound flight required?
Sambotte replied to Optimodo's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I was doing the real-fake ticket years ago. One day i saw one company was cheating/not reliable. And if you don't get the ticket you will have to hurry to get another one. imo for 50 or 100 box... really guys ? I should not be on this thread maybe ???? Or it's really for those who want to play. Personally i find the stress of travels those days far enough to not add any, to play or to save a few box ???? I travel a lot, and now i always take refundable, closest-cheapest country, real ticket. Have the money back a few weeks/month later. Zero risk. Zero loss or a small fee. Peace of mind... for the continuation ticket. +Cash. +Hotel booking. That was my last 2 cents ????
