  1. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/12/29/countries-imposing-covid-rules-for-travellers-from-china The list is growing longer, with Australia joining and possible the Philippines, Malaysia is already on the list? Will Thailand take any action, or just collect the money?????
  2. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-64127917 France and Spain have also now said they will require Covid tests from incoming Chinese? The list is getting longer! UK looks like it will also require testing? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/dec/30/china-bridles-as-eu-states-prepare-to-scale-up-covid-monitoring What is Thailand gonna do?........Nothing?
  3. Its all a misunderstanding obviously? This time it really could be, but an unprovoked attack is assault?
  4. There is no change of procedures at the IO's. Its true that some offices have been taking longer to issue 'visas' or length of stay, because there has been an influx of folks, like the Russions and others, that has backed up the system. The offices are in some cases, like Jomtien soi 5 are being overwhelmed and are taking a longer time to get thru the paperwork?
  5. Whilst it is a good decision, it didn't come from Biden, but the CDC? Lets hope Thailand takes the same precautions!
  6. There is nothing 'sinophobic' about it at all? There is a real threat that allowing millions of Chinese into Thailand is going to spread Covid, very rapidly, have you been watching the news? Whilst many people have been vaccinated the old especially are at great risk and the hospitals could be overwhelmed?
  7. So Region 1 immigration are still naming nationalities? The word , it seems, has not gotten around yet?????
  8. So if they do not name the nationality, we can assume they would be Chinese?
  9. You said it? Absolutely nothing makes sense in Thailand?????
  10. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-64111492 USA has now implemented Covid tests from anyone going in to the USA from mainland China!
  11. https://aseannow.com/topic/1281804-crisis-unfolding-in-the-wards-of-beijing-many-line-the-hospital-floor/#comment-17810938 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/dec/28/china-hospitals-extremely-busy-amid-surging-wave-of-covid-infections
  12. Yes, but it would mean all the resources would be tied up, plus infections will spread to the Thais, especially the old people and would make it even worse? The hospitals might make money, but at what cost?
  13. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-64102176 Looks like they have started to prepare already? "Macau, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand and South Korea were the most popular destinations" Well at least TAT will be happy?????
  14. You make some very valid points. The problem is Thailand and TAT may not see it as everyone else does?They seem to want the money first and worry about potential risks later? In this case if the floodgates are opened and 5million Chinese come to Thailand, will it overwhelm the hospitals in Thailand, will the authorities be taking any responsibility for checking incoming passengers from China, PCR tests etc? Who knows?
  15. Agreed, but unless he has a criminal record in his own country, I'm guessing it would be pretty difficult to deny him a passport?
  16. Haven't you heard, the word 'yellow' is racist?????
  17. The Thai Government and TAT are seemingly only concerned about money and not any potential risks that come with opening the floodgates to the Chinese?
  18. Do you mean farang as in white westerners or foreigners in general? Excluding the Chinese?
  19. There might be some simple explanation? It might be wise to exhaust all possibilities first? There was a backlog in Jomtien immigration? Going to immigration and asking if they know what happened might be a good idea, if the OP has a picture of her and obviously knows her name. Problem now is the IO is closed for a few days.
  20. Well he didn't, so he abandoned ship before everyone was off safely? Ergo he should be arrested? Having said that its Thailand, so who knows?
  21. Do you have a picture of her, if you have her Line account? It would certainly help if you did ask at immigration?
  22. Right, the Captain is not only responsible for all the people on his ship, but the ship itself and to ensure its seaworthy? He should have been arrested and interrogated?
  23. These reports always use the words, "likely to see", "number of tourists could see a rise of nearly 170%", "expects to see". They obviously aren't sure and are being optimistic? Why don't they leave it until after New Year and then tell us what happened instead of what might happen?
  24. Certainly agree, but it will happen and when it does, watch out Thailand?????
