So they're not giving people the option of which facility to use?  They're requiring all TM30, 90 Day Reports and tourist visa extensions to go to the new location?

 

yes --- go there so CW is reserved for the serious big hitter 'Non O' players among us ???? ????

I looked on the gov.uk site just now. UK have told all those visitors in the UK that visa extensions/ leave of stay, can be extended just by email with the extension being granted within 5 days. I've emailed the Embassy asking whether they are negotiating for reciprocal treatment for us Brits.

Nice try and best of luck. It might draw attention if a few more people do the same and email with the same question.

i for one am beginning to worry about having to renew my extension at CW In a few weeks from now.

What about foreigners who live in thailand with their family and are retired or whom live off investments but who do not work so therefore will not have a work permit..

Unless something effects them personally, they simply just don't care. 

..You'll find that many people from all around the world are like that.

So how can we instigate change?

Just managed after a long log-in to access my Bangkok Acc and after 3 attempts I transferred 16K to my Kasikorn Acc. Just checked my Kasikorn Acc it shows only 14K has been received, but BB still showing 16K has gone.☹️

Now Thats What I Call Magic!

What the heck is that wrapped around his head...?

isnt it supposed to be secured around the head instead of being hooked over the ears?

Masks are useless unless you have symptoms yourself or someone is sneezing or coughing close to you.

 

The coronavirus doesn't fly around in the air.

 

Wear disposable gloves is always a better protection.

 

Just my thoughts.

like this?

I suggest to stay in BKK for 7 days since you said you have a dry cough which is one of the symptoms to watch for. As others have said if you test positive you'll be quarantined in a medical facility.

If you travel North the villagers will be wary of you and most likely you'll be interrogated by the village officials as I was recently. If you transmit covid-19 to anyone in the village you'd be in big trouble as well as putting lives at risk.

Best to be safe than sorry with that dry cough - stay in BKK and self isolate for 7 days. if all clear then travel North if possible. If symptoms persist get medical help.

He spent one night in Pattaya to rent a car...?

Hmmm....

asking most Thais to take things seriously..

may as well be doing this...

I just got back from post office in BKK thinking everywhere would be quiet -- its busier on the roads, post office and supermarket than ever before..

A 20 something girl stood about 4 feet from me in the post office without a face mask and coughed in my direction without covering her mouth..

I can foresee an absolute disaster heading this way. 

Hardly anyone seems to give a hoot about social distancing!

Ensure a masonry drill bit is used otherwise you'll end up with bent drill bits and no hole..

Where did you buy the pull up bar, was it in Thailand?

buy her a new ipad or you'll never hear the end of it - nothing else will do after using apple product..

I was at a public hospital in BKK yesterday for my wife's routine checkup appointment..

I couldn't believe they had about 100 people all turn up at  the same time huddled together for hours all waiting to see the same one doctor. Social distancing was impossible.

They even locked all access doors so people couldn't get in or out via building side exit doors..

All it would take is a little planning to stagger appointments, hire another doctor or two and a guard on each door allowing those with a stamp on their hand to re-enter. Its not rocket science but no one dare question authority here.

..Its lambs to the slaughter.

..meanwhile everyone is sat watching the TV in the waiting room with Auntin the health minister asking everyone to social distance... no one lifts an eyebrow..

..ridiculous.

I have to renew my Non O extension in April.

Looking forward to it even less than ever before.

I sold all stocks in December 2019 - seems it was a good time to sell!

Ive been cost buy averaging the major index funds for the past week on the way down including a few other companies I like. I will continue to buy now every week or so until all chips are in.

In 1918, while struggling to treat the Influenza, a new-fangled drug, Salycyalte, was used.

 

Aspirin. 

 

This seems to have dramatically increased the death rate. One doctor is quoted as saying that a German drug killed more people than German bullets.

 

thank god its not 1918!
