With no domestic flights and no buses, how do they expect that "sandbox" tourists continue their travel to Thailand? 
Many of them went to Phuket as a first step before continuing travel to Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiang Mai, Hua Hin or wherever

indeed my hotel in phuket asked me to which province i am going to continue from here, because they need to report it to immigration.

i asked them to which province am i allowed to continue.

even the buses within phuket stopped operating.

what a shame. after all the hastle and paying 8000 baht for PCR tests, all we can do  is walk around the hotel.

Oh boy... I really hope I make it on Thursday before the US or Qatar puts Thailand as a not-allowed country.

the EU allready did. but you can still fly to brazil.

are you travelling on thaipassport?

you can get 3 months visa waiver for brazil.

wooooowww what a confusing article....and look at that policeman with the machine gun ready to shoot any zombie who leaves  the infected area....and i just came here on the sandbox few days ago...what happaned,?  what is going on? mommy i want to come back home!!!

i got headech and dizzy after reading this....i am running now to 7-11 to drink all i can until 9PM when the

alcohol ban starts !!

i saw on the news yesterday that europe (theEU) will not allow anymore visitors  from thailand.

Not sure about the details.

in this case, airlines will start cancell flights, if because of the new rules and if because there are

no passengers.

thailand changed from green country, one of the few that were allowed into EU, to red country, level 3.

Ok - Bring a lockdown in two month.  We don't care how long.  We're ready.  Bring it on baby!

 

r u sure? even to the point of water and food delivered to your address???

first, thanks for letting us know. it is important to learn about banking problems.

i did dispute few payments in the past in my hong kong bank. their service was very good,

efficient and clear. only had to fill one form to explain my case. refunds came aventually

and they were even kind enough to reverse exchange differences.

iallways wondered how it would be done in thailand and your post confirm the worst.

it is not your duty to go to the police. the bank should do it and the bank should

refund your money after contacting the suspicious company.

what you had to do first, was to call that company and ask them who the hell are they and

why did they charge your card and how they got your details,

28,000 baht over 14 days. leaving 152,000 baht for what?  No-one spends that amount of money on a 21 week holiday!

i planned to spend a lot of money here in phuket, but got so angry on how they closed the

country rightafter i came, and how the whole place is closed and bankrupt, that  i will NOT spend  my money; will eat only in 7/11 and acctualy looking for a flight back !!!

well it is just one insurance company. but i aggree. bye bye thailand. see you at 2023

you don't know what tomorrow will bring

TOMORROW will bring more infections. during an outbreak like this, the no. of infections

is doubling itself every 10 days. do by october it will be 150,000 daily.

WHAT a mess. i discovered that all mcdonalds in phuket are closed permanently. this

is a sign for end of the world,

forget about it. Mr. Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha is here to stay for at least another 20 years. Propably he will live well into his 90s so expect another 30 years before he steps down...

check at a 7/11 near you. i heard they will start selling all brands of vaccines from friday 17 july.

he will first have to find two trustworthy partners, as the authorities start to crack down on fake partners.

My plan was to continue from phuket to bangkok after finishing my 14 days sandbox, but now that all

flights and buses to bangkok are cancelled for whp o knows how long, i am considering applying for

the non-O extention in phuket immigration.

i know that it means that i will have to stay in phuket for 2-3 months, in order to apply

for the one year extention(after the three months)

Assuming that i meet the financial requirements, can someone advice me if:

1. Is it possible at all to change from visa exempt sandboxer to non-O retirement visa?

2. will they accept as my address the hotel (SHA+) where i am staying now, or will they want

to see a condo address?

3. Are they strict here with the non-O retirment visas here in phuket, or will they be more flexible in this challenging times?

The US? 605,000 deaths and some shops open, hardly a good result.

U.S. population is 5 times bigger than thailand. so it is like having 120000 deaths in thailand.

question now, how did thailand made it so safe, when its health system is much

worse than the U.S.? and when the pandemic started in china?

the answer is one of the too: 1. thai numbers lie 2. u.s. numbers lie

I think that this is what will force Thailand eventually to open fully without the hoops. Nobody having any money to pay tax!

indeed this is how it goes ! that is happaned also in the UK and US and BRAZIL  and MEXICO.

It is simply impossible to keep everything closed just to avoid infections.

so you control the virus but destroy many peoples lives. Thai government will

realise it aventually.

this reminds me to ask, how can i get a non criminal record certificate in phuket, while on tourist / exempt visa?

my passport was issued in bangkok few years ago, that is why i need it, allthough i did not reside in thailand recently
