OSOS, oh-SOS! Yet another reopening plan, how confusing.

Indeed, they have a survey (all in Thai, just like most of the app in general) to ask you for the side effects you've encountered after 1 day and after 7 days, respectively.

Why bother staying in a big and buzzing metropolis, if you like it quiet at night? Aren't there better places for someone so inclined?

I think Thailand has pretty much maxed out attracting all those foreigners who find Thailand attractive in one way or another. Those who have wanted to stay have always found a way. Others cannot be lured in anywhere near the numbers they are dreaming up, no matter how much lipstick they put on the pig. It's fascinating to watch. But really, for almost anyone who will meet their new criteria, there are better places.

It's still confusing and at this point nothing more than yet another proposal, but I hope they'll finally get their act together.

On a domestic flight, locked into a seat for one hour plus, I'd definitely prefer to be surrounded by people who have been vaccinated or tested.

This kind of ranking has always been questionable at the best of times, but nowadays, this really is just plain ridiculous. At the very least, they should focus on destinations that most potential visitors can actually visit, without enduring two weeks quarantine and similar nonsense.

I'd like to see some of those "inappropriate and obscene" photos taken there. Just for my better understanding, of course.

You don't enter the 4 letter code displayed there, but the 6 digit OTP that you should have received by SMS.

Praise where praise is due. I just had my 2nd jab and my Mor Phrom app can now be used to show my "Digital Health Pass". Name, passport number, QR code - should be easy to check and to validate if and when needed.

Firing him when his Australian conviction became public knowledge would have shown strength. Firing him now, not so much.

That's going to be troublesome, in both directions. I'm in the process of getting vaccinated in Thailand, so the Thai certificate won't be a problem for me. But back home, the EU's version of a digital health pass is needed to visit restaurants and such, and it remains to be seen if/how I'll be able to get that when traveling there.

Yes, please.

While I'm in favor of these anti-government protests, being a foreigner, I wouldn't join them. And I find it acceptable that foreigners aren't allowed to join. It is up to the Thai people (or should be, hello army!) to decide who governs them. There shouldn't be any foreign meddling. Back at home, I'm opposed to allowing foreigners to hold or join political protests as well, that is just common sense.

Confirms that AstraZeneca is very safe. The risk of serious side effects is extremely low. Keep on vaxxing!

I'm sure they could be found in breach of several rules in a Western country and be orderedto pay compensationfor gross neglect. In Thailand, however, I'd guess the "we are sorry" email was the full extent of their "compensation" for affected customers. Needless to say, that's bad.

Are you sure you're not mixing up those terms? From your OP, you're currently on a 1 year "volunteer visa". No such thing exists, so you probably had a non-immigrant visa of some kind, plus an extension of stay based on volunteering. That being the case, you already have a non-immigrant visa and cannot apply for another one "within the kingdom". I'd guess what you're actually after is another extension based on volunteering when your current one expires.

Long story short, they're too stupid to figure out online payments, in the year 2021? So you need to show up in person, to allow them to collect cash from you?

One week in and they're already blaming the people for making use of their new freedoms. Ridiculous.

I'm sure that there's no group of protesters, "talugas" included, that are as rotten as the police. Pot, kettle, black.

It's not just the malls either. Now that people can finally get a haircut again, the place almost looks civilized.
