    In Victoria Australia they are in lockdown with over 100 cases daily. Thailand wants to open up the country with 14,000 daily cases !!!  Which is the stupid country ? Here in Perth we have zero cases for months. WA is doing it right !

    Love Perth. Lived there in 97-98 I miss Fremantle and that awesome coast road on my Honda superdream 250cc

  2. I drive in Thailand at least 50 kilometres everyday and I hate every second of it. The bad condition of all the roads and the lack of road sense along with poor road markings especially for night driving. I am only surprised there isn't more as one of my 18 year old students just bought her license for 6000b which included 3 days in a classroom each day consisting of 3 hours theory then she was guaranteed a pass no matter what her test results. The poor road worthiness of most vehicles and no patrolling active police presence also contributes to the high numbers. Easily fixed if there is the will to do so. Must also give a shout out to the amazing parking here too which often cause obstructions on busy roads.

  3. Look behind the curtain. This isn't about monkey labour or coconut milk production. This is the UK turning the screw in retaliation for the treatment of British citizens in Thailand and the cosy relationship it now has with China. It's a subtle tap on the shoulder to say "erm calm it down a bit little man" . The red lighting of Thai citizens to travel to the UK and now this is no coincidence. More to come in the not to distant future.

  4. Not surprising considering the treatment of British citizens here. Also the cosy relationship with China and a withdrawing from closer ties with the west is the reason for this. Thailand has a choice to make. China or the West. The ramifications of a wrong choice will effect generations to come. Do you want more freedom or less. Big choice to make. Make it wisely.

    Land borders are not open.

     

    So no "border runs" possible for anyone. only small number if opre-secreened foreigners sleected through overseas embassies being allowed in by air on special flights.

     

    There is an amnesty on overstays in effect through end of July and this may get extended.,

     

    You might be able to get an incountry extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai - suiggest you post in the Visa forum.

    Thanks for your input. I home they just extend the amnesty or give me an extension of stay. Its giving me a headache.

  6. How about people who are already here on marriage visas that need to do a 90 day border run? Will I have to go across the bridge at nong khai then 30 minutes later come back in and do a 14 day quarantine??? Seems ridiculous since I've been here in Thailand throughout this entire crisis. I have a job here and a workpermit. I cant afford 2 weeks not earning on top of the already 3 months.

    Your post led me to believe you were concerned about you long expired permitted to stay date when you leave the country and try to enter the country.

    The borders are closed at this time and it is unknown when they will be open and what will be required for entry.

    Thanks for your help and input. Its always good to chat to someone. I always worry about these things because I know how it works here. They tell you one thing then you get to the border and its something else. But I suppose we can only do what is best.
