    Is it really worth ruining society for a tiny percentage, if at all?

    The rules will be in Thailand forever now, don't think they will change in your lifetime

    Masks to be worn everywhere in this place and anybody without will be a pariah

    If you think that's a positive thing then we will have to agree to disagree

    You could just er....go away.

    You have no respect for Thailand and even probably for your home country also. 

    ignorance is bliss.

    Misinformation. Another armchair COVID expert. I just spent 6 recent weeks in Pattaya. I'm in Northern California now (not the Bay Area). Restrictions were MUCH greater in Pattaya when I left. Not even close, on so many levels.  

    That is exactly what I am saying. Low Covid numbers here. Hence, I would rather be here (which I am) than in Europe and USA. Much better to have restrictions and the slow release of 5hose restrictions.

    .Comprende?

     

    I hope you are now safe in California.

    And you believe those figures, you must be a bigger dipstick than the people spouting them. Well we all know the Thais are the most truthful superior beings on the planet ????????????

    I agree, not a lot of testing but we would know by now via facebook etc if the numbers were huge. Plus judging by the whinging going on about apps, hand gel, masks, everything over the top blah blah. Hospitals are not busy (personal experience). So yes, I tend to agree that the numbers are a hell of a lot less than Europe and USA.

    Yours Truly Dipstick.

    Probably because they do not know it is not required or just don't believe the info posted on the immigration website.

    Hi Joe, I did know about the amnesty and my 90 day was due on 22 April. However, I decided to go to see how things were at Jomtiem IO on 6 May. No crowd, seen in 5 mins. Then the officer told me not to be late reporting next time. Go figure....??

  5. I just turn up to any exchange booth and ask them to exchange Baht into whatever currency you want. If they don't have it, they should tell you another booth to go to, if it is a well known one.

     

    I changed 70K+ in exchange for AUD$3000. I got quotes from 3 booths and ended up with a good rate. But you should have no problem if you want a small amount. 

     

    Have to admit though, at this difficult time they may not be holding a lot of foreign currency.

    Looks like you still have a bit of time to sort it out. We had a notice come around from HR today that no action required i.e. reporting of any kind until 31st of July. All visas will be automatically extended.

    Thats interesting. I saw this notice as my 90 day was due on 22nd April. I decided to go to Jomtien IO a couple of days ago. It was very quiet and my number was called after 5 mins. He put another slip of peper in my passport with the next reporting date and then said, "Don't be late with your reporting next time. This time we will not fine you". 

    So, not too sure where the amnesty bit comes in???

    The east/west cultural difference will always be there.

     

    For me, I think there is no harm in wearing masks and if Thailand want to insist on them being worn, then I shall wear one.

     

     

    There are probably too many Thais who think that they have low CV19 numbers because of wearing masks.

    The fact is that, compared to a lot of European countries, the numbers in the Kingdom is much lower. This is regardless of how, i.e. masks, not as much human to human contact, the much criticised restrictions.

    It would be good to pinpoint the reason but, whatever, be thankful you are not in the midst if a coutry where thousands are losing their lives.
