I believe that by November 1st or 15th, the 5 other Sandboxes will be ready, BUT it’s not announced or Royal Gazetted yet So my plan is wait until November, for the NEW 5 sandboxes are announced, and then enter via that route, I’ve already done Sandbox in Phuket and even though 14 days was too long, 7 days will be fine as long as we’re allowed out using same principle as Phuket sandbox. The areas are 1. Bangkok, 2. Chiang Mai (Muang. Mae Rim, Mae Taeng and Doi Tao districts), 3. Prachuap Khiri Khan (Hua Hin district), 4. Phetchaburi (Cha-am district) and 5.Chon Buri (Pattaya, Bang Lamung and Sattahip districts), government spokesman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana said on Saturday. Edited just now by bolt

My short answer to the marriage visa versus retirement I did 1 marriage visa extension, and I hated how they told you to wait for a call before they came round, and then randomly called you in 7-10 days saying” you better be home tomorrow “ they came to the house and took pictures in every room and all the other stuff So the next year I went down the retirement route for visa, they never came near my house, never asked for friends or neighbors to verify who or whatever. So I’m sticking to retirement route, it my castle stay the hell out

this year and last ALL major changes were done within 4-5 days so you're right for any long term planning its a waste. I suspect the same for November New sandbox for 5 locations, the announcement will be october 25th or later starting november 1. So Don't pay for anything until october 30th or later

Make them feel superior by correcting you, You tell them” oh I’m sorry you are right” Then the rest will be a formality -
Wait until the 11th October, that’s the next date for CCSA meeting. Dont Book anything also unless you can get refund or free date change. The Bangkok sandbox will go ahead next it just depends on 1st or 15th November.

I’ve just had a quick look on the SHA website I selected Bangkok SHA + https://www.thailandsha.com/shalists/index?type=shaplus-SHA Plus +&province=10-Bangkok and for some reason Bangkok is showing ZERO for SHA + if you check Chonburi or Phuket they both have gazillions business’s I expect Bangkok has some places where they have staff vaccinated and spacing which meets social distancing rules, so maybe this will be updated for opening of Bangkok sandbox (or whatever they name it ) November 1st what is the name of the Bangkok reopening ???

I think the biggest issue right now is Ange stating ‘"We're not going to change our approach. I believe in big games we should go into them and not fear anyone. The process takes time and you're going to cop some knocks on the chin.” I’m worried that Ange is accepting losing, being mediocre for a loner term goal. In my opinion if they current batch of players CANNOT play his way, then Ange has to change the players or change his tactics. Results matter now and I think Ange will be judged on results this month especially away to Aberdeen, Hibs and Motherwell

I’m sure the rules for Bangkok sandbox (or whatever the name is) will be Stay for 14 or 7 nights at a SHA+ approved hotel Only. Use SHA+ Approved, taxis restaurants malls shops etc, basically they will tell you and you will need to agree to only use anything that has a SHA+ approval. I’m not going to comment on how this will be enforced, only what the rules will be to use the Bangkok Sandbox model. Thailand SHA Plus refers to the certification issued by Amazing Thailand Safety and Health Administration SHA+ means, the business has the correct percentage of staff double Jabbed. Here is the website for SHA and SHA+ https://www.thailandsha.com/shalists/index?type=shaplus-SHA Plus +&province=83-ภูเก็ต

ThailandPlus App - how to get it to work, support?
bolt replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in IT and Computers
I used the Phuket sandbox and we had to scan and then show the QR code each day, we were told to use Mor Chana i had multipe issues with it at my hotel but the staff at hotel entered my details manually. I also used Thailand plus app when i did an ASQ earlier this year, I dont really remember using the Thailand plus app during my ASQ. i use an Iphone an had no issue installing and opening the app for use the first time. -

Agents dont like changing, so thats why they're telling you "Cannot do it" as UBJoe says it can be done -
List of vaccines that Thailand approves of?
bolt replied to Swiss1960's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
My understanding is Thailand recognises vaccines approved by WHO vaccines approved for use in Thailand, some of these may NOT be approved by WHO NOTE I landed at BKK in April 2021 and I had SINPOPHARM which was approved by WHO in March-April, however the Thai health inspector at airport told me that SINOPHARM wasn’t on the Thai approved list yet, so I had to complete 10 days quarantine instead of the 7 days, this new rule didn’t last long as everything went wrong in April May. the question of mixing vaccines is a huge question, and no one can answer that question here, it can only come from Thai Embassy your OP friend will get an answer regarding his COE application, "approved or rejected" -
From my past experiences and working with lads who tried to dodge paying Tax in the UK, it gets harder and harder each year, you would need to be out for a minimum of 3-4 years before everything kicks in. Take a deep breath and consider where you’ll be in 5-10 years, quick fixes sometimes lead to disaster later due to poor planning or listening to advice in pubs or web forums. My mate has been offered a job working offshore Israel, he’ll be paid from a company in Singapore, he thought great tax free and he only needs to stay out of the UK for X number of days. I told him unless he’s going to stay out of the UK full time for a period of 5 years it aint worth the hassle of trying to hide from the UK tax man, I told him to pay his tax and he can sleep at night and he wont be worrying about a tax bill dropping through his letter box later. My last comments speak to an account, don’t too much listen on here.

Thats in correct @Oxx is 100% correct, if the company paying you is based UK then its classed as UK, many many companies set up smaller branches in other country's. so the OP will need to change his employers company or address to be NON UK I've 26 years overseas and I know things change from time to time, but the company based in or out UK hasn't changed. I think its tied to the employers declaring who the pay and employ no matter where they are in the world. So it doesnt really matter where you are, its where the Employer is

I don’t know any country who are promoting arrivals without vaccination This is the new standard along with a negative PCR test. Get used to it get vaccinated and move forward
