The are only giving special extensions for Chinese that entered on 15 day visa on arrival.
Interesting. How long/often can they now extend their VOA? That sure beats waiving their overstay fine instead.

Thailand wouldn't be amused if other countries advised their citizens the same with regards to holidaying in Thailand. Hypocrites.

Closing schools instead of lowering pollution levels? As things stand, Thai students already don't get the education they need! Yet another ridiculous idea.

The organizers of many similar events worldwide had the good sense to cancel or postpone.

Out of those three, I'd choose Nakhon Phanom, Mukdahan a close second place. Personally, I wouldn't go to Laos for just one night, considering that you lose quite a bit of time with border formalities.
That Beer Lao is cheaper in Laos, as someone else wrote, is true. But if you need to buy a visa for Laos, you probably can't drink enough in one night to make up for it. ????

Travel bans and flight cancellations seem to be spreading even faster than the virus, which would make me worry: Assuming that you get to Thailand, who can guarantee that you will be able to fly back home a few weeks later?
In the OP's case, it seems to be a short and probably domestic trip. That's quite a different scenario.

Hua Hin's only charm is that it's sleepy. Once that changes, it will have no appeal whatsoever.

You can always say that you don't have it. There's no legal obligation to keep an old passport.
True, but there's also no legal obligation for them to give you a visa. If they demand to see your old passport and you don't have it, not getting the visa is the likely outcome.

Should charge the people responsible for pixelating his face with aiding and abetting a criminal.
They refuse to help identify the creep.
Good point. I, for one, would report him if I saw him in Bangkok - if only I could recognize him!
This thread is pointless without having clear pictures of the guy.

"Even the Europeans were following the Chinese lead and shunning Thailand."
That is certainly true. Many Europeans are very cautious by nature, so since this outbreak originated in Asia, many might give Asia as a whole a wide berth until this has blown over. There's also the tiny little problem that travel insurance policies nowadays often exclude any issues related to a pandemic from coverage. The prospect of possibly having to undergo quarantine upon return is also daunting.

If you say so, General Pinocchio. I'll take your word for it.

Anyone who is free to move could simply move to elsewhere within Thailand, if air quality is the main concern. Same in Vietnam, there are places with toxic air and places with great air.
For that reason, I don't think air quality is a good "Thailand vs. Vietnam" criterion.

As they have APIS, I would have expected that the IO gets to see the flight details once they scan a passport. Having to show the paper stub in this day and age is a bit of a joke.

Makes no sense to have Vietnam I that list at this point.

I'm curious, what do you think would be an appropriate sentence for abusing the power of an elected position to sell a US Senate seat? I wouldn't oppose a life sentence.

Obviously you know nothing about multi-modal transport cards.
I know that they exist (and work very well) in many big cities I've visited. Bangkok came late to the party, so they could have learned from experiences gained elsewhere and should have mandated this from the start. I'm not interested in the technical details.

What's considered "high blood pressure" by Chinese standards? Serious question, different countries might have different thresholds.

None found, but just how hard were they looking?

How difficult can it be, that has been discussed since about a decade!
Now that everyone and their dog already has a Rabbit card, just make the Rabbit card universal and be done with it.

Great to see Blago freed. While he's guilty as sin, the ridiculous sentence he was given didn't fit the crime.

He should get the death penalty or life without parole and no pardon ever .
I'm not usually in favor of the death penalty, but really, what do you do with such a tool? Senseless violence for purely selfish reasons, plus a crybaby "sorry mum" routine - I don't think it's possible to fix or "reform" whatever went wrong with such a character.

Dealing with those crooks is simply unwise. Whenever I walk past someone offering me girls or whatever, I just smile or might even say "No thanks!", but in any case, I KEEP WALKING. Never a problem, they don't assault people just for politely declining their offer.

The "curtain of water" is right up there with using ship propellers to speed up draining flooded rivers.
Never a shortage of mind boggling nonsense!

What's wrong with spending a night in Mukdahan or Savannakhet before applying? I've staid in both towns, and while I wouldn't call either of them exciting, I think they are decent enough for a little break.

Trump reassures Americans coronavirus risk is low, puts Pence in charge of U.S. response
in World News

Putting the useless Pence in charge, Trump must really believe there's a low risk. That's reassuring.
