since buying from the dealer aka "tent" in Thailand, just bargain based on the out of door price. This will cover you on VAT and budget concerns. Insurance usually not included.

Health Land is the Go-To place for a proper massage at a reasonable price. They even have a section /department that provide treatment massage for specific areas of problems.

Doesn't seems like Moderna will be available in Oct if it had not already been booked by the relevant department....

What's the point of spending so much money whe Thailand is so far behind the vaccine race? Isn't it better to use the money for those lower income earners affected by the pandemic and spend it to hasten the vaccination pace? 

I don't think Moderna will be available any time soon and definitely not before the locally manufactured AZ are widely available here so that some people will not look even more incompetent than they already are. I would be over the moon if Moderna is made available before the last quarter of the year. But then again, will us foreigners be able to get into the queue against the rich and influential locals for the first shipment? 

???????????????? what happened to the claims that he keeps making that locally manufactured vaccines are on track??

He has no qualms about lying through his teeths. How is it under control when people are dying at home due to "bed shortages"? Why are infected people allowed to quarantine at home at all? It's only going to spread to healthy family members and neighbours who in turn spread it on further 

I almost fell off my chair laughing when I saw the post ???? 

Thanks ubonjoe, think I'm screwed this time as I do not have 400k in a local bank for 3mths. Would have transferred it over if the IO had told me about the one year extension of stay based on my non O visa as a possible option. Instead they told me to apply for a new non O visa so I can stay another 90 days. 

Guess I might just return to my home country in Sept and then back to Thailand with a new visa, then apply for the one year extension when the 90days is almost up again would be the best move....? 

Why is nothing ever standardised in Thailand. Its functioning like a 3rd world country

.1. A report of staying longer than 90 days in the country is not a extension of your stay.

    You have to leave after 90 days or you would be on a overstay unless you were able to apply for an extension.

2. You can apply for a 60 day extension to visit your wife if you want to stay in the country if the amnesty is not extended again.

   Or you could apply for a one year extension of stay based upon marriage to a Thai if you have 400k baht in a Thai bank for 2 months or proof of 40k baht income.

1. So that means the 90days reporting kind of goes hand in hand? One would have to extend his stay beyond 90days and upon approval, do the 90days reporting? 

2. Thank you for the suggestion, I would enquire about the 60days extension the next time I go to CW. The last time I went there in July, both officers at different service counter did not provide me with this option. 

When you say extension of stay for 1 year based on marriage to a Thai, is it different from a Non-immigrant O visa? One of the option the IO told me is to renew / reapply for a new Non-immigrant spouse visa in Thailand and the documents required is similar to those you mentioned. I have been renewing my Thai spouse visa back in Singapore as it is less document intensive and is very efficient. Also I can use my home bank account to fulfill the 400k requirement. 

Have a couple questions with regards to the above topic and would greatly appreciate updated inputs as I have either misunderstood the procedures all along or the immigration officer at CW is blowing smoke up my xxx

1. I am on a Non-immigrant O visa (Thai spouse visa) and everytime I enter the country, I would be given a 90 days visit stamp on my passport. All along I am under the impression that if I were to stay beyond 90 days, I would just need to do a 90 days reporting and it would extend my stay for another 90 days as long as it is within my visa expiry date. Is this correct? Because I was told this is not the case by the Immigration officer. Before the pandemic, I had not stayed beyond 90 days as I would usually return to my country to visit my parents which is 2.5hrs flight away also due to the nature of my work. 

2. This brings me to my 2nd question. Assuming my understanding of above question is incorrect, that means I would have to leave Thailand after the anmesty ends next month and then go through the tedious, ridiculous and expensive process to return to Thailand. I will then be given another 90days to stay in Thailand. What happens after the 90days? Leave the country and return to my home country and then go over the same sh*t again?

Nope..... Mad rush or lack for toilet paper was never an issue in Thailand. They have the bum gun

Better to stock up now under the rule of this flip-flop govt, especially when so many pple are travelling back to their province, pple infected by Covid will soar and guess what......? 

From my understanding, which may not be correct, yes it is not free if one decides to get tested voluntarily. However if the test results is positive, one don't have to pay for the test and of course treatment cost will then also be covered by the govt. 

How can someone of his position and educational level not engage his brain before putting him mouth into gear again and again??? He must have bought his qualifications from Patpong night Market.....
