Stick a fork in this one. Maybe next year?
"Singapore, the Philippine, Thailand and Taiwan are among those that have sought or signed deals for Moderna or have already begun receiving vaccine batches."

What I understood from earlier news is that Thailand doesn't approve mixed vaccines to enter Thailand via sandbox or easier quarantine. I'd go for a vaccine that is fully approved first and get a proper certificate. Then if there is enough evidence that moderna/pfizer jab is good addition on top of AZ or sinovac, I'll try to get it as well.

Golf is safe to keep open and it makes money. Caddies and other staff has some work to do, golfers buy water and other drinks on top of the other fees. Impact to economy vs safety, its a no brainer to keep it open.
And quite a many who is calling the shots here in Thailand playing golf...- 2

Flightradar e.g. website is good for tracking how many times if any, BKK-KL flight has been cancelled.
If you transfer via Singapore with SQ flight, you are not entering to Singapore but staying in international zone. And just like someone suggest before, if not sure about it, just get an emergency passport.
Also looks like there is traffic (google traffic shows red) at kaya hitam going to Malaysia. Why not call to Malaysia immigration etc and ask what is the procedure using land border.

MIght be real number despite only 1000 households in that survery.
This is before covid so it might be even worse right now.
"Debt accumulated by teachers nationwide in Thailand has risen to crisis levels, totaling 1.1 trillion baht, about 16% of the public debt. With the average teacher owing approximately 3 million baht" -
Good info, thanks for it. This is way better option than applying Elite visa and still go through ASQ and everything else. Some of my friends will go for this once all the details are out.
What's the FB group where is recent information coming to Thailand? -

Seriously?
Sometimes in extreme cases like this I try to help as much as possible... I did not promote anything in that message other than see if I could put in a good word for you.
But as they say, no good deed goes unpunished.Corruption, right. That's how things work in asia and OP living in Thailand long enough should understand it.
Grace did a good job helping my friend while ago and now he can stay with his family while longer. I'd do the same in his position and sleep like a baby and not thinking too much about it.

I did elite visa transfer to new passport 2 weeks ago and a one year extension. Elite staff was the only one asking about TM30 which I didn't have. I had 90days report instead and they were ok with it

You can always leave Thailand. Plenty of flights out.

Pattaya and Phuket agents have the sheer nerve to ask even 65000 for a volunteer visa. BKK / Chiang Mai will be under 40k. Why he needs to ask agency in Pattaya when he lives in BKK..
What's the good agent in Bangkok? Any recommendations.

What place in the World allows you to bring your own drink into a bar. But you are special enough to feel insulted and post about how bad a bar they were...wow!
Actually quite a many in Pattaya as long as its a good to the business and that can be arranged.
In this case it would have been but bouncer is too strict.- 1

Almost 2 months time to buy a ticket and go home. Plenty of options to get out. Coming back in uncertainty. Or just pay money to agent and stay in here. Nothing wrong with that.

Problem is buying a ticket and then having a 30%+ chance of it being cancelled. Money stuck or lost.
So you didn't check that list. Most cancellations was to Japan and Manila.
These been flying during these rescue times, no cancellations.
Qatar
Etihad
KLM
Didn't see Lufthansa today on that list but there are several other EU flights. Finnair flying 3-4 times per week with good connections.
Before booking a flight its easy to check on flightradar what is the recent history of particular flight number.- 2

Far outweighed by cancelled flights, this is the issue.
Right, did you even read that list? 25 international flights on that list departed or about to and 9 cancelled. What's the problem?

well, here’s the departures from Suvarnabhumi today, practically everything cancelled. If the government doesn’t extend amnesty, they’ll create mayhem

Not all cancelled. Looks normal to me considering this time.

I'm in Pattaya and a non smoker. I don'e know of ANY bar or restaurant that doesn't allow smoking. Not ONE. ????
My hypocrisy now; I like alcohol, so please promote that, preferably with discounts & happy hours. ????
Assuming you are talking inside the restaurant or bar. I know some and I'm not even in there.
Casa Pascal, my favourite brekky resto is one that cannot smoking inside. Its very relaxing place to sit down as no loud music or loud customers. Feels like its not Thailand at all.
Red car disco/bar in walking street is one as well. I trust there's more but seems to be that gogo licence is already including smoking inside the premises or they all buy it.- 1

"Somebody" doesn't know the situation at the moment. Malaysia border is closed and also if you fly out, you have to apply permission to come back which is not yet for ED visa. I'm wondering what is the country that doesn't allow citizen to fly in. There are flights out from Thailand every day.

Phone number can be anything so why worry about it. Also if government wants to take a look who is in a particular area they can ask from operators to provide that data. As long as you carry your phone with you it will update its location when you move to next cell or "tower". So how this not to sign in help? If there is a infected person same time at the store I'd like to get an info about that.
Take a photo instead of scan it at the first time. Atleast google lens app you can import that photo and it will show the options to open or copy that link including store id string which is easy to bookmark e.g. under "Big C". Next time just open the browser and use that bookmark for pre-sign in. Show the sign in page to the nice person at the door and walk in. You can practice this with any MorChana QR core photo post in internet. -
How the brake failure is possible using air brakes? I thought its bit difficult to drive if losing air from the system.

That your passport validity expires on same date as your Elite Visa validity, muddles the issue as it cannot be determined now whether your present permission to stay is based on
- passport validity expiry date;
- Elite Visa validity expiry date.
Last December I got 1 year stamp regardless of my visa or passport validity, which was only 9 months at that tim, so something is changed or its IO who is making that decision. This time she was asking me how long I'm going to stay and pointing the visa expiration date.
I still have 2.5 years left of my 5 year membership though. -

Can anyone confirm that towards the end of the 5 year Elite Visa if you obtain a one year extension you will in effect get nearly 6 years, there seems to be varying opinions on this?
Last stamp several weeks ago the date is hand written and only until my elite visa expiration date which is also the same than my passport exp. date on this September.
Stamp before that on last December was normal 1 year even though my visa and passport was already valid less than one year that time.No logic but that's not unusual.

Quite a many Thais wants to have Moderna instead of AZ due to some facebook page which is telling that you might die if you take it. If this price hike will send some of them away from Moderna queue, that's fine. We can get better queue number.
