Only one more sleep to wait for Fridays vaccination numbers. Can't wait. I'm tipping below 950k, however always been a conservative guy so anything possible.

Long way to come and pay for quarantine just for a <deleted>. Hope his friend is aware of his trip.

Only thing more tedious..... grammar police.

You have just described my dream girl.

I realize that. I could obviously see that post. Of course there are many 7/11 open and most have not gone under. That's not the point. Take a walk up Soi 8. The place is stuffed. Two 7/11,s gone. The subway joint gone. The big Hotels several closed. This thread is about foreign tourists coming to Thailand. Earlier poster stating that he soon finishes quarantine and is going to Pattaya. I would love to know what he intends to do there. It's buggered.

And what's on the agenda at both those locations? Walks and .......?

Thanks for report. This is not a wind up question. Am interested. I can understand the folk with ties here coming such as family etc. I assume your in that group. If just here for holiday....what do you hope/expect to do while in Thailand.

Really sounds to me that you don't live in Thailand. If you do, you don't get out much. Simple question. One example. Do you enjoy the Bang Saen Speed Festival? When is the next one likely. For many businesses and attractions it's not a matter of lifting the roller door and putting out "open" sign. As I mentioned in earlier Ratchada Night Train Market is an institution. Google it. It has closed and according to many reports will never open again.

Not really about 7/11,s is it. Sounds like your a Pattaya guy. So I'm just out of quarantine and being a friend of yours ....what's the day/night plan look like. Hope we ain't going to central plaza, didn't come to Thailand for shopping mall.

OK...one example. One of best music bars in CM is European bar. Great bans. It's closed done. Owner tells me problematic future. Yep come all the way from USA and look at the wall. Pic of Mike Euro bar CM. Those days a long way off!

Not sure I follow. If your suggesting that the number of tourists that are likely to come to Thailand in next few months are enough to open things up and create a nice atmosphere at various places then I doubt it. Step 1 would have been to open up restaurants bars and music venues to the folk that live here. In my area central Bangkok the corner restaurant/bar that is quite large is 99.90% Thai. I'm the only farang. You need to get the place open to the locals. Thai folk that actually live here before worry about few tourists.

Look at it another way. Last time I had friends (married couple) visit from Oz and we're in Bangkok for a few days (pre covid) I wanted to take care of them. Not in any special order. This is couple of things we did. 1. I took them to Saxaphone Bar (victory monument). Always great for some Jazz or Excellent Blues. Currently Shut and unavailable. 2. I took them to Ratchada Night Train market. Fabulous joint food, stalls, music and bars. Most Bangkok folk would be very familiar. Currently Shut and possibly for good. Talk of large condo complex being built. 3. Took them to Stumble inn, open air bar Soi 4. Great atmosphere and street food vibe. That Soi is currently a ghost town. Even last Xmas pre this current wave and bars had limited opening it was a ghost town. Hillary bar and others closed even when alcohol was allowed. I went to Pattaya for last year fireworks. Bars semi open. Not much music. Stayed Beach Rd Soi 7 and 8 area. DEAD. Many big hotels closed/done. Very sad really. We spend 6 months a year Koh Samet. I guess if you want to sit on a beech for couple of weeks that place is an option. If your a tourist don't even think of Thailand right now!

The OP had heading "Welcome FOREIGN TOURISTS....." Nothing was stoping you from inter province travel previously. Take your family to Koh Samet from Issan. Your not a tourist.

What sort of things make a nice holiday for you? Not many on my list would be available currently in Thailand.

So his left hand does know what right hand is doing after all.

Sounds like some cracks starting to show. Joking

Means empty planes. ~ 15% fully vaccinated in Thailand.

Does your friend know what type of extension that they will be applying for.

OP, what current extension are you on. Annual extension or covid extension or....? What extension will you be applying for.

You may as well give a report. What did you provide? Use money in bank method? Obtain bank letter at CW?

OP, you have the correct answers above. Realize you did not ask this but be aware...if someone decides to change reason for extension from say Retirement to Marriage, then the extension will date from day of application.

Next time try online 14 days prior to due date. When it doesn't work post required info and all done. The mail in needs to be done ~ 15 days prior to due date.

Thanks for that info. I'm just about resigned to mail in. However have found that by using B4 envelopes that immigration return all my photocopies and new blank TM47. Has worked fine last few. Already have all in envelop for next trip to post office.

Yes I read similar numbers on internet. You believe that average administered doses 667k/day? Nup. Mind you the 900k+ on Fridays help.
