Im so happy I have left Thailand after so many years, last few has seen Thailand sink.... I don’t care... everything that is coming is self inflicted ... reap what you sow Thailand... Pattaya is the worst place on Earth... disgusting <deleted> pot...  Its a great pleasure for me to see it vanish, and take that bitch Thai wife of mine with it... boom yup I sore... ! Pinoy next.

Oh gosh, how wonderful!

No, wait. Does England not have over 3000 new infections per day, does England not have a testing system that is about to collapse, does England not have resurgent city by city lockdowns, does England not have the threat of curfews being imposed???

Why would anyone in their right mind want to go to this shambolic mess of a country!

? Shambolic! I came back a few weeks back and Im not a witness to this.... The only thing thats shambolic is the government over reaction .... and more infections are to do with the fact they are testing here, unlike in Thailand.... All is well in the UK.

Absolute stupidity, well done Thailand for being a failure to humanity... its like a secret Island of Darwin survivors, lost in there own minds...

You seem to forget about the Expats that go through Agents that pay Immigration. No Health Insurance, no 800,000 in the bank, and normally very little money. Then you have all the pretend bar managers and others on ED and Volunteer Visas that have no Insurance and very limited finances 

I had insurance, and the dumbas* insurance company refused to pay... 157k Bhat lost..... so insurance is pointless with crooked Thai insurance co. I left  for this issue, they are just a big scammer as the jet ski guys... and its a requirement now... scam after scam .. Thailand LOS ‘ Land of Scammers’

OMG   Thank you I am still in Australia  

Trying to live in this  Thailand  is like  hell   now ...even for  the poor  normal  Thai,s 

If its  not curruption  it is  the  greatest  load red tape  garbage in any country  on the planet 

Good  Luck  Thailand  

What flights  back to UK every week ???

 

I’ve had enough - sick of everyone scamming me, recently medical expenses refused 150k, the tipping point was my wives dad selling my car! Yes really and kept the money....! I decided to not renew my ‘marrige’ VISA ..

I’m having no love for ANYTHING Thai now including my wife and her continous and relentless scammer family.   Not spoke either after the car incident ... so she does not even know Ive left...! There will be no bank transfers to this pack of thieves... I will never return to SE Asia again.

In 4 days - from Friday to Monday , I was able arrange and pack ALL my possensions and ship, hand back my Condo in Bangkok and book a flight back to the UK with Qatar Aiways (which are daily), a great flight with 4 seats to myself on both parts of the trip, and Im facemask exempt, which was not an issue from my Condo to my place back in my home Country.  The flight cost of 15k Bhat, NO coronavirus certificate requirement either... 

At immigration I received no exit stamp and was no required to submit the TR6 either... best immigration experience in 10+ years.

Thailand before this shamdemic was going down the pan, now its really in major economic and growing political naughty corner... 

The arrogance has caught up... and as the PM said, ‘the lands will burn...’ probably will soon... and I think the colours of Liverpool will prevail.

Nothing to see here(Thailand) temples elsewhere etc with English speakers... please jog on...

Thailand, the Atlantis of the new millenium!

Im stunned by the pure arrogance and stupidity of Thailand who seem to think 40 million people are desperate to come ... Its comical... only the desperate with families will tip up if at all.  I left 2 days ago and have no intentions of doing all these stupid requirements to return...  Ill just sort myself and bring my Thai family here.... Get real Thailand, your not a financially viable destination anymore and you were in deep trouble long before the coronavirus came along... Thailand is a dead duck....

I leave Thailand today by choice, this country is not what I dreamed about 10 years ago.... The smooth expat life dream is over.... I retired @ 42 years old, if you are 50+ your in trouble here... don’t kid yourself and learn basic economics and understand the healthcare system here now is desperate so premiums are going through the roof and will bankrupt you... plus payouts are extreamly difficult... and hearing the Phuket Gulag leper colony is now cancelled... Thailand is going to suffer. 

Well after so many years of living and working in Thailand [Bangkok] I have decided to ‘hang up my coat’ and move on with immediate effect.  Thailand was great ... actually amazing when I came here (2001), but before this current flu situation the country was on a serious sliding scale of economic failures already on SE Asia standards (2005>). This current situation has but amplified it... I just cannot wait to leave and never have to face Thai Immigration Officers again... lower than a parking enforcement officer ... Thailand in 2022 is going back 50 years... why, simple economics.... you cannot sustain a false economy via quantitative easing or precious metal reserves... look at the current Bhat...! some one has to pay and considering less than 70% of the population pay any tax plus of the corrupt loopholes it boils down to a very ‘dodgy’ <10% pay tax... the 35 to 40% GDP dependancy on tourism ... which does not exist... and when it does is 0 Chinese and Indian tourists

14 days quarantine is not long enough. 1 month.

Why not just lock everyone up!  Apparently to some ‘scientists’ the effective aerosol range of this strain ‘SARS-COV-2’ is about 7 miles! So social distancing is pointless, as are masks as the particles are so small they just pass through or via the gaps in these pathetic face masks... No country agrees on anything and are all doing there own thing... The science is so diverse on conclusion its akin to a village of idiots trying to determine who is the biggest idiot!

Some people here in this forum seem to make fun or a joke out of this possible local Covid19 transmission recently here in Thailand.

I wish to make those people aware of the second wave in Melbourne Victoria Australia very recently , authorities failed to detect a major failure in their quarantine proceedures, resulting into a Stage 4 Lockdown for millions of people again. Additionally a massively prolonged State border closure to prevent the virus spreading into other States too. Hundreds of death with Covid19 recorded in Victoria. They are talking of some 100 billion dollars additional costs in their economy due to this latest Lockdown.

 

How would you feel being back in that scenario again? 

 

Covid19 infections are not a joke, but utter disaster if not very quickly brought under control.

I think you need to review https://www.health.gov.au/news/health-alerts/novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov-health-alert/coronavirus-covid-19-current-situation-and-case-numbers#total-cases-and-deaths-by-state-and-territory your post needs to reflect a more accurate picture... The deaths are mainly in the 70+ and above age group being one takeaway from the link above... and then compare that with the life expectancy in Australia https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/life-expectancy-death/deaths-in-australia/contents/life-expectancy of being 80! There is a miniscule difference, so not exactly a pandemic is it, considering wearing a mask made from a sock and 2 elastic bands will save you from an horric death... SARS-COV-2 https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/technical-guidance/naming-the-coronavirus-disease-(covid-2019)-and-the-virus-that-causes-it.  Actually significantly more people in this time frame have died of Pneumonia and Cancer to name but a few, and here in Thailand, road deaths dwarfs SARS-COV-2... so much distruction to economies over something that is merly a slightly more agressive flu to extreamly sick or pre mortem people..

I was aware the insurance requirements was a grey area, plus Thailand won’t accept policies from outside Thailand but the costs are far beyond any sane tourist with all the other entry requirements.... I mean Im going back to uk for a bit to see family and I simply cannot see me coming back for the foreseeable future, no way... and I have family here... !  Im not throwing away that much money.

I very much doubt Thailand could fight its way out of a paper bag, they would drop weapons quicker than any girl from Pattaya drops her knickers!  Who would invaid Thailand? It offers nothing, zero, zip... sweet <deleted>...  These 2 subs are a waste of money and will never see service outside the gulf of Thailand and surface level... The weakest attempt to flex ego’s in the region only but actually every connecting nation is laughing at Thailand... gee Singapore, as small as it is would flatten Thailand before breakfast is served at the Fullerton... get real ...

I just don’t understand why Thailand thinks everyone is desperate to come here? The Country has nothing to offer now, far better beaches exist in Greece for example...with English speakers, sanitation, better food, welcoming.... etc the list goes on... The trip here is hard enough but all these requirements make it a feckless task ... Thailand offers nothing special at all now and people know it.... only prostitution.... Filth, scams, robbery.... etc the list goes on... And soon severe unrest against the establishment....
