Up market hotels seems to be a recent fad.... putting the squeeze on Soi 6 these days. I don't see most of the guests of Amari and the like being interested in bars and tarts. Unless they are convention attendees....

'Up market hotels' as you say have their own supply of tarts...

Are they? All of the places I would go to pre-covid are still operating. Supermarkets, shops, pharmacies, barber, mom&pop stores, home improvement, building supplies, etc. Some have even extended / enlarged / refurbished their premises. I do see a lot of places now closed and remember visiting some of them before, recalling the service nonexistent, the prices exorbitant and wonder that they even lasted as long as they did.

it's strange, because in bangkok drinks still can't be served.

also just yesterday all hotels in chonburi were officially ordered to close (more to do with the government covid compensations and dole for unemployed). But now, with everything opened, there might be a shortage of rooms over weekends. Hotels can still open, but have to inform authorities, possibly facing check ups and covid permissions.

All openings, even restrictions, should be done gradually, depending on assessing risks. Quarantine should also be shortened gradually, down to only 3 days.

There seems to be contradictory, unreasonable actions, which don't instil trust in the governing 

As far as I read these permissions do NOT apply to BKK.

One more quickie - does a legal marriage help when she applies for a US Visa? 

I would think it surely helps as a ' non-legal' marriage is not officially recognized anywhere in the world....

As far as I can tell, this is a Pronouncement from the Province of Chon Buri.  I haven't seen anything about the easing of cross Province travel.   Perhaps I missed that 

I think you missed it... All provinces concerned except Bkk.

HSBC Singapore Premier account is only SGD200,000 which doesn't need to be sitting in a deposit account attracting 0.1% interest, it can be invested in unit trusts and bonds returning significantly more. Provided the relationship balance remains above the minimum there are no charges on the account or fees on credit cards.

Yes. But if I remember correctly you need a sponsor nowadays to open a HSBC account in Singapore?????

Yeah, it's kind of an odd place for it, literally out in the middle of nowhere on a stretch of highway where the nearest U-Turn (to get there if you are heading South) is just under 1.5 kms away. It's also about 1.5 km to the next U-Turn if you are heading North and want to go back to (Rayong or Sattahip).

Long ways to go for a coffee, unless you know it's there and make it a planned stop along the way.

Indeed..

They don't expect to start production until the middle of the year. I'd guess they need to get the facility up to speed.

I don't know. But it says that a Norwegian passport holder is entitled to Visa Exemption and that it would be more serious if that wasn't the case.

If you are heading down the 331 (towards Sattahip), it's on the other side of the highway, just before the new off ramp heading to the #7 Extension.

The google image is from July last year. I think they've made some improvements/expanded things since then.

Still not Thai in the eyes of Thais. Do you think the police asked the partygoers if anyone was a naturalized Thai?

Or cared?

So why did you state in your previous post : " I want to be Thai " ???????

Am I missing something .... Thailand has a population of around 70m. So 50,000 doses would cover 0.07% of the population. Widely agreed that around 60% is needed for "herd immunity" so it's going to take a while. And we all know where the first 50,000 are going - not to front line staff but the top  50,000 wealthiest people in Government. 

 

As an expat - I fear we may be a little way down the list and need to wait a few years. 

Will be interesting if Vaccine Passports come in ... need a vaccine to go back to the UK, but can't get one in Thailand so stuck here forever !

 

Mmmm....

Isn't that exactly what you wished for???????????

There's a new development in this case. The person in question has come forward. He was scammed by a visa service agency which he paid $500. He isn't in prison, he's in quarantine and will be allowed to enter Thailand.

The stamped paper is simply the information the immigration officer uses to look up the online COE.

 

I assume he didn't think that the Immigration service computers and databases Worldwide are linked somehow 

 

Anyone who is stupid enough to think the printed paper IS the COE doesn't deserve to enter Thailand.

You are right, it could work between NZ and Australia

the 2 countries being islands relatively far from any other country

so the frontiers are more easy to control, plus they have an enough developped

and good health system.

Thailand isn't in the same case at all, and Thailand was of course

the subject in my post about the silly idea from TAT and the bubbles.

BUT ..... GB is also an island....I agree closer to EU but still an island ....
