As keen as THA is on taxes, you would think they would jump on the recreational weed bandwagon ????

Unfortunate. But it is clearly stated in the EV agreement that you have to do.

I'm sorry, when wasn't prostitution online (prior to the 1990s)? Most online is a scam (bait and switch; bogus photos). Nothing beats the fish-bowl! Anyone decrying the end of anything is usually wrong.

Simply follow the already well established rules, and there is no problem.

Be a respectable guest of the Kindgom and wear a mask, just like 99% of Thais. Always indoors, except when eating. You could listen to the foreigner ????'s on internet forums that act the fool while in the Kindgom, and risk being scoffed at and ridiculed behind your back, maybe even fined by police, for not wearing mask. Do the right thing, or be a jerk. Up to you.

Probably makes sense only IF people are getting PCR tested 72 hours prior to departure (this would be dictated by the airlines and the airports you would be transiting -- irrespective of what THA does to you on arrival). My friend recently returned to Finland from BKK and tested positive on arrival. Don't think for a minute people can't get covid after getting a PCR test on departure.

Just wear your helmet... Problem solved ???? we all know there are 2 standards for nearly everything in THA (always have been). Stop acting surprised by this.

in circa 1990s cargo shorts, overweight, 55+ years old, with a scowl on their face.Bit prejudiced... so a person is not a good guest if he wears cargo shorts.. maybe the scowl belongs with you.
A person is not a good guest if they can't follow the rules that the Kingdom has set down (like'em or not). If you pay attention to those who flaunt the rules you will notice a trend... and Thais see it too. That's not prejudice, stereotyping or discrimination. It's simple observation. Sorry to bag on cargo short. Not all poorly dressed old white dudes are bad.

Enforcement would obviously be skewed towards foreigners because when you walk the streets of Bangkok it's a foreigner who you are likely to see not earing a mask at all... the profile is fairly straight forward -- white, poorly dressed in circa 1990s cargo shorts, overweight, 55+ years old, with a scowl on their face. Just pointing out the obvious. It's not that hard to be a good guest of the Kingdom, and if you can't do that then maybe try a different country

Grab is only really useful if you are in an area with little Taxi traffic... otherwise you are still better off hailing curbside. Frankly, I prefer motorcycle taxi (especially in congested areas around Sukhumvit).

Yet Switzerland would not allow Thai diplomats with just the Sinovac jab into their country ???? Stop trying to saving face with the China. Sinovac is clearly sub-standard. I've no doubt it saves lives, just not as affective as most.

Every Thai citizen already has UCS for health insurance. Unemployment insurance should be included for all Thais as well. That's where these workers are being let down by the government. However, it's naive to think any group anywhere can be made whole by unemployment insurance. Crying poverty because you can't make 10,000 baht every night is not going to resonate with the average Thai in a country with a 340 baht per day minimum wage.

Not quite a lucrative side hustle, but if it gets one more mindless squid off the road, I'll have my camera out. No problem.

This is will only put a damper on the sexpats and sex tourist (sorry no Nana or Soi Cowboy for you). Probably not the quality tourist Thailand wants to pursue anyway ????♂️

I do like learning Thai. Is the ED doable if I'm going to stay in Bangkok?
The schools can help with the ED visa process.

It seems that the Thai government is admitting that opening the boarder will indeed lead in a surge of cases; as a result of unvaccinated Thais coming out in greater numbers, no doubt. It won't be because of a trickle of vaccinated tourist (although they will be vilified). This is sad in that this could have been mitigation with proper vaccine rollout (would have been wise to delay opening until 1 December to allow for the 70% vaccinated goal to be met). Pity the Thais who will be impacted by the coming surge.

Remember just over 2 years ago when it was announced that the mandatory 40/400k insurance was required for OA visas ( Oct 2019 ) and there was initial confusion about whether it was new OA’s only or included extensions ??
I believe this will turn out to be the same nightmare ( for OA extenders ).
3 insurance companies are already running with this:
AA
Aetna have an ad on the ASEANNOW newsletter every day.
LMG already issuing this to people wanting a new OA visa.
( NOTE: stating OA not Covid19 cover ).
Only a matter of time before it applies to extensions imho, time to make some travel plans me thinks.
That's odd because N.Sana from LMG just sent me an email saying
"For the new regulation announcement of Thai immigration that required coverage of 100,000 USD or 3 Million THB, we are working on this product to launch nearby future. Once the product is ready we will get back to you as soon as possible."

Yet another sign that Thailand does not want to be a retirement destination for old people. I'd be interested in hearing a quotation for this x8 increase in coverage. The Elite Visa at $6,000 USD per annum may be more economical

This will be the banks loss not the customers. If was a widespread breach.

New cases are not coming down enough, and the Thai population is under vaccinated. Or course they are fearful. Wait to open boarders 1 December.

The wife sleeps through the whole thing and then all she has to say is my husband is an old pensioner and I like to party... and she knows the deceased... The plot thickens ???? Otherwise if it's just a dead criminal, justified. But then again nothing is rarely as it seems in Thailand.

You seem a bit naive or maybe just young. That's a potentially dangerous thing if you are looking for love in BKK or the larger tourist areas. If I where you I'd find a nice country girl. Get out of the metro areas. There is only one rule... never loose control of your finances (don't pay sin sod, don't buy vehicles or houses). And always remember... Nothing is as it seems in Thailand. You will rarely come out on top as a foreigner, you just need to manage your exceptions.

Positive representations like Anchilee are desperately needed in the Thai media
in Thailand News

Uuan mak, as my Thai friends are saying. They are also clowning her "muay Thai spirit" but it was just a costume.
Preference aside... (for one, I love the traditional Thai standard of beauty and the femininity, when compared to emerging Western standards)... this ernest political correctness is a bit tiring. To each their own.
