Quarantine at an expensive hotel. Insurance including Covid is very expensive especially if you are older . The testing before you depart is at least €300 because it’s a time sensitive appointments you need . There is crucially a debate about whether you can choose your own flight or designated carrier... has to be padded so it will be exoensive same as the chosen hotel nonsense . It’s a ripoff.

Empty kettles make the most noise . Talk talk talk .. everyone afraid to press the start button for fear of making a mistake.
As my dear old Dad used to say ..I hope I’m there to help you on your way down.. but that would be wrong this time because the way to help them on their way down is NOT to be there , not to travel there, not to spend money there , not to feed endless greed and scams.
Never go where you’re not appreciated is a lesson I am learning fast from the current situation .-

I am 6 years spending 4 months a year in Thailand and taking a thai lady on holidays. I have never sent her money . I look after her when I cme to Thailand .. no day goes by that she does not get in contact and chat and wish I could visit. Never puts pressure on for marriage or money. I miss her a lot and it seems to be reciprocal. Nothing wrong with it. I need to see her again. Try to be less cynical.

The way I see this we all need insurance soon to be allowed back in to thailand.and won't make any difference on type of visa .or weather we need it to renew visa or not. So sound's to me only way not to need insurance is not leave....
I was in Greece and it clearly states that the Greek government will pay all the costs associated with Covid if you are unfortunate enough to fall ill or be tested positive including Isolation . As I said elsewhere ... Stick it in yer Momma Soup !

I really think you ALL are wasting your time on this... NOTHING will happen until Flights come and people are allowed in......
end of story!! everything else is just hot air....
I always use Qatar and they have not stopped flying my route from Dublin since the start .... the problem is Thailand will not let us in. I could go tomorrow , but what do I do in BKK ? Kick and scream and dance. Still won’t get in.

Despite all the jokes about this little exercise , I actually think it is a holding exercise to show they are trying to get tourism started again ... Of course , unfortunately, it IS a joke and will, hopefully, demonstrate that the only way to revive International tourism is to take the risks and test , track, and trace .. Someone mentioned Greece earlier ...very good system in place for tourists ... I was very impressed when I visited last week .. barcode issued to you the day before arrival and presented on arrival As all you Details of accomodation have been submitted in advance. I was tested on arrival and it appears they cme and get you if it’s positive ..Flawed ..of course what system isnt ..
The big difference is that the Greek Government will PAY for any treatment , or isolation that may be required during your stay ... Can you see the Thai Authorities buying that !-

I would normally be in Thailand now but I am not allowed . I went to Corfu last week to break the monotony because Greece was still on the Green list in my country and open to visitors from Ireland.
it was an eye opener ... beautiful hot weather, cheap prices for most things and bargain accomodation... add in no cheating, smiles without whingeing , clean fresh air and clean blue sea and you got it ! ... Great food too at very realistic prices.oh .. forgot to mention ... €113... last minute booking ... return from Dublin to Corfu ... it doesnt tax the brain to work out that it was a good choice !

living here, i do not feel shunned, ostracized or set upon by any thai, nor do any of my friends here.
Living there is a completely different matter . They know you and you are not arriving from an unknown country that could have high covid mortality. Not the same at all.

I could watch a video of the Taximen sitting around the corners in Lamai with no fares all day and weep with joy ! The disgraceful prices they were allowed to charge prevented me and many others from exploring the lovely island , lovelier away from the drab and sometimes dirty resorts in the absence of an honest and reliable songthaew service.
