just for a second i thought they were doing some good.. alas no, they're just moving them on before the money arrives

so you are saying that if you take an average beach city with average beach and get rid of the sleaze.. the rich will flock there?! hmmmm.. maybe they not so crazy after all ????

if they really want rid of the bar scene then go after the supply.. it could be done today, with the stroke of a pen. all bar licenses revoked, no new licenses to be granted. much more efficient than trying to tamp down demand with endless hoops that upsets every tourist who wants to come here. lets see if they have the balls.. (they don't)

and the people who voted for them.

thailand pass sounds suspiciously like COE.

they already have a system for that.. COE which will likely now just require upfront payment for the pcr test, 1 nights ASQ and insurance (in case you test positive). so same old same old. its a step in the right direction, but not much of one unfortunately and i think unlikely to move the needle much.

welcome to thailand! now hold still while i jam this q-tip 10cm into your head. fugdat.

i like KL too, it's a much nicer, more modern city than bangers + can party all night too if thats your thing. if i was still a businessman i'd be there or singapore for sure - my "serious" friends live and do business there & i've visited them many times. always shown a good time. far better than a cringey tour around lower suk, brushing off freelancers all night. thailands only positive over those 2 cities is the visas are easier and its cheaper.. but you do get what you pay for.

yep they let you own <deleted> all and take home even less

bull <deleted> - this is just an excuse not to shut out major tourist sources. even if only 1% of the population were vaccinated you still can't enter thailand without being vaccinated.

once the locals start moving around then the real trouble will start. double tested, vaxxed & tracked foreigners will be the last of their problems.

lol tell that to those waiting for the pubs to open ???? its gonna be carnage when they finally reopen

trust me.. that won't be a problem ????

this one's easy.. why, jonny foreigner will be responsible of course!

so in this case the extension based on marriage to the original non-ed was valid? that would mean he paid the 20k bribe last year for the IO just to do his job. oops.

thats what this is about. to the OP do you now have a non-o visa in your passport?

wait, what?! 40% had been jabbed and still died? jabbed with which vaccine?

so not open then.

my reasons: 1) would rather be hot in a £200K villa than cold in £1M UK one (like for like) 2) kids will grow up with way more opportunities (class wise) than being bullied back home by chavs 3) prefer to pay no global tax but "go private" than pay big tax and "go public" (schools, healthcare, etc) i actually love it here, great family, top weather, easy system, easy life. thailand has been very good to us both emotionally and financially. and the longer we live here the more contacts we make and the easier it gets.
