I highley believe that the chinese they have let come in with the stv's are not actually tourists, but people with some kind of ties to thailand maybe business or something else, perhaps buying property. Its highley unlikely you will be seeing these guys jumping on jet ski's or frequenting places that are dying without tourism.

Just my 2 cents.

22k coe certificates, non of which are tourists. Just people who need to come back to thailand.

This "scheme" they have implemented for the stv and all the hoops one has to jump through to get into thailand is something a tourist will not want to do.

They might get a few, but this plan is going to crash and burn like most of their other idiotic ideas.

The 15000 euro is probably not everymonth, but must show it being in the bank for 6 months for some strange reason.

No one making 15k euro a month will be entertaining a trip to thailand and the hoops to jump through to get there.

Plus quarantine on top of that.

sad to hear abt it , but the way they are handling this whole covid seems really dumb  

 

are u going back thailand soon ?  off topic abt ,  any idea of the insurance ( duration ) u need to get in ?  assuming u are coming on NON O marriage visa

I will be back next year, but im not married, so would have to come back based on being a parent of a thai national.

One of the reasons immigration wouldnt give me an extension was because i wasnt married.

Unfortunately, i flew out on the 25th before any talk of the new extension.

I left my girlfriend and kids in Thailand, so i am not best pleased.

Immigration would not give me another extension and the british embassy wouldnt give me a letter.

So im a little <deleted> off about it.

????????????????

Just overstay, why bother with getting extension, you have waited long enough to get an extension. ????????

In basement, Airport Link floor, Subway and ESarn restaurant next to it are open. Didn't see any others opened there.

On 3rd floor more or less everything looked opened.

I didn't go check but it seemed that canteen on the ground floor was opened at the far end of the airport.

All exchanges seemed closed. Boots and 7-11 were opened.

 

That's all on the outside... before the security check.

 

For domestic flights there's a different procedure now - there's a QR code for an app you need to download and fill out a form in it, then show it at the counters at the end of the queue to be allowed to board the plane. Seems standard stuff - your personal details and flight number.

 

Getting into the airport has temperature checks, like most other places.

 

Other than that (and the lack of tourists), it looks pretty close to normal.

 

Ah yes, the King Power shop has now moved outside to domestic arrivals and anyone can shop there, no need for the flight ticket.

Whats the app?

Anybody been to the airport recently?

Was wondering if all the shops and restaurants are open?

I have a few hours to spare next week in there before my flight.

A beer would be nice before my flight and a bite to eat.

Get back in there the tide has changed since boris announced a 2nd lockdown almost certain

Booked my flight for next friday already, time for a change i think.

Going to bring the mrs and kids over to the uk.

I've lost interest in Thailand for the time being. Another 20/30 years until i can retire, will return then. And also for holidays in the meantime.

Im done with Thailand for now.

You can easily get a 12 month extension providing you qualify.

Did you not read what i said, immigration wont give me a 12 month extension.

I did the same, they refused mine.

Looks like its look of the draw.

Hopefully this trash will be blacklisted from Thailand now, good riddance.

Why would he be blacklisted?

He committed the crime in the u.k.

Immigration probably arent even bothered.

They should really implement a digital nomad visa, loads of people here or have been here working online with tourist visa's etc....

Im flyinb home on the 25th, i hope it isnt busy at the immigration desk in bkk airport. Atleast the airport wont be jam packed like it used to be.

Im bringing to misses and kids over to the uk eventually, Thailand will just be a holiday destination to me now, not somewhere to live until i retire maybe.

I have 20/30 years left until retirement any way.????

Just booked with Swiss air direct from their website, they have flights every other day.

I thought he didnt have any symptons though, so a temperature check etc... wouldnt of helped.

I bet there are loads of asymptomatic people walking around thailand.

By all accounts they 200 people already lined up to test this out.????

Use an agent, they do it all for you. 

I used key visa in pattaya, excellent service.
