I didn't leave in September 2020, I stayed. But I know a lot of people who got scared and left.
-
Is it really impossible for you to make it to the border?
-
You busted him nicely
-
There is Cambodia, Malaysia
-
Maybe he got the queue number yesterday but was told to come back today.
-
Unless you can explain that, this story seems not very credible.
-
I have one question. Why did you wait until the 25th and not applied before the deadline?
-
If they stop the extensions, they don't need to announce that. The previous extension naturally expired, which means things are simply back to normal.
-
Now the average tourist is Indian / Middle Eastern. Their daily budged is way below that. A group bus tour, beer from 7-Eleven are not very expensive.
-
If they were really extended, that would be published in the Royal Gazette.
-
Maybe you did a regular tourist extension.
-
Basically, they did just that. People who applied before August 24 can stay until November. And the longer 45 day visa exempt permissions start from October.
-
Covid extensions have served us good these two years but run their course. There is no reason for them to continue. Covid in Thailand is set to be endemic by October. Land borders are open. If you want to stay in Thailand for cheap, you can do border hops, as in pre-covid times. As a generous gesture, the visa-free period will be 45 days instead of 30, starting from October.

It doesn't say a word about covid exts
-
They continued it as long as the Emergency Decree was in place. No miracle.
-
I think there will be no official announcement. They're just quietly stopping the extensions. Previously, every extension was kinda "out of the ordinary" thing and thus had to be officially announced. Now that the last extension expired, things are just back to normal.
-
What about your nerve cells? How much did you lose in September 2020 when they threatened to kick everyone out or put them in jail?
-
That was no miracle, but what the situation dictated. The Emergency Decree was in place, land borders were closed, Covid was pandemic. Now everything is different.
-
I have been Covid extensions proponent for 2 years, but now it really seams to be over.
-
Why do you think so? Covid will be deemed endemic in Thailand from October, that's official.
-
Unlocking the phone can be done very easily. There are a lot of shops doing that.
-
It's easier to get money back to your ATM card because there are some protections by the payment network (Visa/Mastercard). They can do a "chargeback" pretty easily. In case of a compromised banking app, it's not so easy to get money back.
-
Maybe it was because the bank's system was compromised.
-
If it's the bank's fault. For example, if your money was physically stolen from the bank's vault or the internal bank systems were hacked.
