Have a buddy in the Los Angeles area submit the last document for his COE 2 days ago, he is arriving Nov 11th into the Phuket sandbox.  He woke up this morning to a rejection saying that he is lucky to be one of the 1st to use the Thailand Pass system when it becomes operational.  He's <deleted> obviously.  He's lived in Thailand long enough to know how anything technical is not the Thai gov's forte.  I though you had up to Nov 1st to finish out COE's in process.  Anybody else hear of not finishing COE's at this time?  Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

The immigration website is not clear for tomorrow.  It says regular hrs but below that says "Hours May Differ" Chulalongkorn Memorial Day Observed,  Sat shows closed due to Chulalongkorn Memorial Day.  Anyone know if actually open?  Thanks in advance.

There's 2 PCR tests to negotiate. One in the 72 hours before you fly and one on the day of arrival.

Not really required for double vaccinated tourists imho.

But if you read what's been posted and such it says 72hrs prior to arrival, not departure.  Just want to make sure on that as I have a friend on the west coast of the US who is planning a trip that takes him the long way around the glob to get to Phuket and obtaining PCR-RT test results quickly have been a problem in the past.

I thought the PCR-RT test had to be done 72hrs prior to departure, not arrival.  For those taking long flights, this could be a bit of a problem.

Typical Thailand first talk than look and after that think....Several times I said that the PM is giving not correct information because he want to show the people that he is doing his best for the coiuntry and the people believe him, but outside the country they know better 

"Am I going mad or did the word think escape your lips!"   Think unemployed, in GREEENLAND, be your guide for the qualifications of these baffoons!

My bank app does not allow me to login at the moment.

 

Edit: forgot to disconnect my VPN.

No problems for me..

Some banks websites will not allow access if through a VPN, Bank of America is one example.

Thanks guys,

Young people these days and their so called music...

Each of my kids have a hard drive that contains all of our family pic since they were born and are updated a few times a year.  Also included on the disks are hundreds of mp3's of music from the 70's, 80's, and early 90's.  The teens actually have been going through these "oldies" and we often speak of the nature of music at this time in their cultural experience and how formulated and superficial it has become.

Happy when wife is happy

Unhappy when she's moaning or in a mood

If it was not for my daughter finishing up HS, we would have left a couple of years ago.  The biggest problem (aside from the constantly changing rules for me to stay here) is the wife can't keep her face out of the Thai news and such and is ready to join the resistance should real internal strife here happen.  Happy wife, happy life as you said.  The opposite is also true.

As always, they just spout off and fantasize about whatever silliness that projectile vomits out their stupidity holes. When curfew lifted and bars opened...We The People...the consumers...with the money...are gonna make up for almost 2 years of lost time.

 

It AIN'T gonna be "family friendly"! ????

Unless you define "family" as a young mom and her two twin daughters!  "Twins Basil, twins!"

Sounds like some kind of autodraw/software gone wrong or the payouts were not in cash but transfers to another account.  Given the strange amount I'd say the former.

I would not need a tax cut.  I am a very soon to be retiring practicing engineer. I have a BS in engineering and a MS in Math and use it quite often in my testing and analysis aerospace jobs.   I would ideally like to keep my mind active and tutor maybe 10 or 15 hours a week, math, science, engineering, etc.  Topics such as basic calculus, algebra, pre calc, basic engineering first or second semester courses, even physics with or without calculus.  And any high school math for sure, based on what I see taught in Thailand, stats, or whatever. Probably 1st or 2nd university level also, depending on the student or university.  Or some Thai person that is trying to prepar to go to school in the USA or the UK and needs to get more familiar with English and technical things.  

 

     But there just is no easy way for me to legally tutor as an individual.  i could not get a work permit.  No long stay visa really allows work unless I was with a company  over there.  I still think this is a golden opportunity for some Thai company to offer tutoring services.  They can hire me, they get a cut of my hourly rate, they give me a work permit.  Seems pretty straight forward.  Any industrious people out there with some teaching background and business experience in Thailand that might want to set this up?  I am sure you could get many expats of all ages and abilities to sign up with you

An ex-aerospace Engr also with several sci/eng degrees living in Thailand 5yrs now.  Problem here is they want the engineering skills but don't want the critical thinking skills to go beyond your job which, you know, once the veil is pulled back becoming an engr/science guy, it becomes an integral part of all you do.  One of the reasons they are trying to get high end skilled foreigners with visa schemes is they will not interfere in politics and you can kick them out whenever they want to.  If it is your intention to really want to teach with no regard to income, you can volunteer.  No restrictions on volunteering and if retiring you should be old enough for a retirement visa.

Bright, like a shooting star before reality does it in.

How ironic. Another warning not to copy the antics of Joe Ferrari from the videos freely available on the internet beckons as well.

Speaking of which, whatever happened to that guy.  All quiet...

In the US, they gave assistance it as a loan that you could use for wages and other business expenses during the period of time your were being affected by COVID shut downs/reduced business.  To get the loan forgiven, you had to submit data that you used it on such business expenses otherwise it has to be paid back over time.
