Is there any visibility of how many are actually real tourists I.e. are they really coming with a tourist visa? I assume most are returning expats. 

Shame !

This is racist!

Shame!

does that guy know that the cases in Phuket do (mainly) not come from international vaccinated tourists (only 89 out of 30.000 received covid albeit being vaccinated), but local transmission -  so its a local made outbreak whcih has nothing to do with international tourists.

They should realize that the house is on fire because of their own people inside the country, not from outside!

If Thais would replace all old and antiquated thigs as easy as that........

I wonder what they exactly mean by quality tourism and why they want it.
With trying to attract only a hand full of rich people they won't create jobs, and income for the most. Or has one seen the billionaires eating on the street and renting a long tail boat or taking a motorbike taxi...  Its the same game as always: the rich and influential thais want a bigger piece of the cake while the normal people shall be left out.

No discrimination means also that the dual pricing has been abolished yea? Silly me must have missed that. ????

Lies Lies Lies, always lies. 

Hi, I read that many people with German passport had issues to register for the egates. However the latest answers were in 2019. 
Are there any news regarding these egates and especially in combination with German passports?

I am flying out today and have the new German passport. Would be curious to know how my chances are if I go and try to register.

What about vaccinated Thais? 
If they can be that picky with foreigners, the country is not doing bad enough yet.

always the same accusations. Reminds quite to the publicist behavior of such an American man. The government should look at themselves, they are responsible for this outbreak. They should have worked against illegal labor at first place.

the land of smile....

and tourists damn better smile also!

Actually, what’s the benefit of a permanent residence in Thailand? 

If you have a non - immigrant visa and work permit it does the job as long as your company sponsors you. If you lose your job, you lose your visa as well and have 1 week to leave the country. A PR lets you take your destiny in your own hands and you're not dependent on a company or job. It means security! Imagine you would lose your job, have to leave your friends, partner, house/condo, etc. and you cannot even come back because borders are closed. To avoid this it's not a bad idea to take right measurements before it's too late. Those things you have to do before you need them, once you need them it's too late.

I am wondering if someone who applied for Thai PR in 2019 and did the interview in March 2020 has already received an approval of the PR or knows when to expect the letter with the outcome of the process.
