This indicates she is using some type of VOIP service. Ask her to call her phone company to clarify. This is probably the long distance plan she has set up with her phone. Did you think she would be able to call you for free from her home phone? If this charge is the only bill for her calls to you then this is set up through her phone company for long distance calls to overseas. Before posting, using common sense and asking her to call her phone company would be the first thing to do. I would only be worried if she was billed twice for the calls.

If you are by chance an American citizen, you can open a sole proprietorship. 

Ridiculous. I see the US is almost back to normal. In some cities in some states, people are walking around with no masks, bars are open and it is normal. Your one off old and outdated comment is irrelevant.  

You should not be using your resignation letter at immigration. The proper process is to cancel the visa before the work permit. The employer writes a letter to immigration requesting your visa to be canceled which is dated the day you visit immigration. In that letter, they can request up to 20 days for you to leave the country or arrange other visas as long as your original  visa still has the same validity. After that the work permit can be cancelled. This will avoid any overstay nonsense.

Interesting to see these results, now as the land of purity Thailand eventually is starting to do some mass testing.

 

No need to panic too much, though. Thailand is in a lucky situation due to its climate. Thanks to the hot climate, people are either outdoors where the concentration of the virus loaded aerosols is low, as the dwell time of droplets and aerosols in the air is short.

 

Or they are indoors with an AC switched on, and the AC reduces aerosols and droplets in the air as well, leading also to low virus concentrations in the inhaled air. This low virus load statistically leads to mostly weak or asymptomatic cases. 

 

The outcome never will reach the level as northern countries experience during the wet and cold winter there.

 

Quite likely that what they are seeing now has been the situation for quite a while already, but due to not testing nobody saw it.

 

So you seem to be an expert on Covid  are you? Keep dreaming. This will lead to thousands of new cases in Bangkok and the rest of Thailand. Thais don’t care about Covid. Last weekend there was a music festival in Pattaya packed full of people taking no precautions and no masks or social distancing. The Thai bars  are packed full of people everyday. Covid is here but no tests until now. 

After buying the item you have 60 days to leave and claim the vat refund.

What is everyone talking about? These restaurants he is referring to are the mom and pop shops that all Thai people frequent often because they are very cheap and affordable. Thai people still have to eat and these restaurants are all still very busy during Covid, in fact most are packed full of people.   The touristy places are the ones that are suffering and most of those practice good hygiene.

With this conspiracy scenario in mind, where are they hiding the piles upon piles of people who died from COVID and how are they keeping the relatives and hospital workers silenced? I'm sure there is another conspiracy theory for that as well:)

Who said someone needs to die. Do you know that most people have no symptoms? Including this guy. 

Good info. Bangkok however is still not honoring this. We don’t know why?

How to reach by email the consul at the Canadian Embassy ???

Call them by getting the number and or email from the website. Google is your best friend 

 I spoke to immigration yesterday and that suggestion by the immigration chief is still waiting for cabinet approval. However, there is no list. You will qualify if did an extension with an embassy letter before September 26. I was told to keep watching the announcements and it should be approved in the next couple of weeks. Get another embassy letter if you can just to be safe.

This is absolutely not true. It can be done but your school will not do it for you. Also what about your work permit?

What worries me is the health authorities don’t seem to be worried about where he got it from but only who he may have given it to. This is the same as the Malaysian guy. Where did he get it from? Thailand is naive to think there is no corvid. Maybe there is actually an asymptote strain here. So strange. 

This is only if you are sick. Not everyone qualifies.

Thai Visa - Can we have some consistency please. On the same page as this article is one from Gen Prayut. Tourists NOT welcome.

 

So let me set you straight lol. Everything is just talk until this guy approves it. So this is how it works. Government staff in the tourism sector are just doing their jobs. But this guy won’t approve it yet. And by the way, I don’t know that many tourists that will want to come on vacation now. Whatever tourist plan they have will mostly be utilized by forefingers who can’t enter and then they will change their visa to another type in country.

Yesterday instead that tourist won’t be allowed anytime soon and today this? It is just comical now. The PM always squashes all these ideas as he knows none of them are possible.

Can he get a 60-90 day O/A in Italy and then convert back to his Retirement ONLY when he is allowed to return? He can't come in on a 30 day Tourist and then explain his bad luck at Immigration? Regarding Phuket, I know a UK lady from BKK who had to stay (and pay) in a Chatuchak hotel when she flew back from her mother's funeral. Who makes the choice? Are you given a list?

Here is the list. They start at about 35,000 and go up to over 150,000 depending on the Hotel. The cheaper ones are very difficult to book. They include food as well. Click on the hotel and it will open up a list of google docs with the details on how to book and the price.

You would probably have to get a confirmation code on the Thai phone number used when opening the account...pretty hard to get unless using one's Thai SIM with roaming in UK.

They allow codes to be sent to email as well as phones
