Bars and clubs have spent years making fortunes by paying bribes and operating illegally. No sympathy for them - and especially not the western owners that spent years believing they were invincible and have suddenly been brought back down to earth.

1) There's no such thing in Thailand as a 'set price', especially not for taxis 2) Motorcycle rental was double that 3) Yes, that's what they asked for five minute journey As I said, Thais see tourists returning and dollar signs light up in their eyes. Taxis in Bangkok are up to the same tricks again.

I went to Koh Larn a few weeks ago. The blue pickup truck wanted 600 baht to take two people to the next beach. Motorcycle taxi was asking the same amount. They have learned nothing from the pandemic. And those who were ripping people off before, will do the same again.

I'm travelling from Thailand to the UK for a week. After arriving in the UK, there won't be the minimum seven days to apply for the Thailand Pass (It says to apply at least seven days before travel). Is it possible to apply for the Thailand Pass before departing from Bangkok so that it's approved and ready for the return?

If you click on the table showing the options for departures it has PCR tests listed.

Thailand Pass requires an RT-PCR test. How is this different from a PCR test? Heathrow Airport has PCR tests in terminal 2 and terminal 5 with results available within three hours. Are these accepted for Thailand Pass? (https://www.heathrow.com/at-the-airport/fly-safe/covid-19-test)

Foreign resident could be open to interpretation but presumably it would include non-immigrant visas.

The latest list of 46 countries from which fully vaccinated visitors are eligible for no quarantine specifies that they 'must reside in eligible countries for at least 21 consecutive days' . I was planning on flying back from Thailand to UK for a week at Christmas but this isn't going to work now. Even the sandbox might be unfeasible. They had the 21 day rule before, stating visitors must have been in the departure country for that long. Is the 21 day rule still in effect for the sandbox scheme?

You seem to misunderstand the purpose of a forum being told or questions and discussions.

This isn't my case. It's one I'm following. The guy was arrested in May on some pretty serious charges (kidnap, ransom, racketeering) and released on bail. He had a 60 day tourist visa initially and while the case was active, was granted 'permission to stay' Finally, despite the case being active and immigration records showing the arrest warrant, he managed to leave by air in August and return to the United States.

Can someone get a 60-day tourist visa from inside Thailand even after they have been arrested and there's an active police case against them. E.g they are arrested on May 1 and have not appeared in court as the case is ongoing but need to renew their visa on May 15. The details of the initial arrest warrant lasting 20 years and for which they were granted bail still show on their immigration profile, can they still get the visa?

There's no such thing as 'herd immunity'. Vaccinated still get the virus and still pass it on.

Why have you chosen a dark-skinned rural girl for Cambodia? This is really narrow-minded and disrespectful to the country.

Covid cases will be around for generations to come. So your plan is to lockdown China-style indefinitely for years to come. But you think you're the sane one...
