Have you ever noticed this guy's name has the word "nut" built into it? Health Minister A"nut"in Charnvirakul

If the bars are to remain closed then the temples should all be closed as well ????

Why is everyone avoiding the obvious elephant in the room? China is responsible for the world's misery, why make the rest of us pay for it? If any of you had the sense to read the latest intelligence reports that are now coming out of Western governments, this virus was released as early as mid-october from a lab in Wuhan China.

It makes alot of sense, the scenes from a few days back were shocking.

The mad rush is over it's a moot point now. Thai style of "Too little too late" ????

Getting outta Thailand is going to be a right mess as every country a plane flies to is going to have different regulations for entry, with some remaining closed longer and some requiring quarantine. How will they get the airlines up and running again?

 

For those trying to enter Thailand, I dread to think what stupid unworkable regulations will be in place.

You hit the nail on the head when you said "stupid unworkable regulations"!

I've never seen mine explode in anger.....She'll get quiet for a day or three while she accepts, or reasons things out...Possibly her career refined her over time spent working...Our 2 teenaged daughters are turning out the same.....

The other Thai women I've had never got squirrelly either.....

 

My ex american wife did, however 1- throw a tv at me, 2- hit me in the face with a hot iron as I walked past, 3- attack me from behind a door with a carving knife, 4- claw my face to hamburger while I was sleeping in bed, 5- walk up behind me in a hall way and start punching the back of my head while I was trying to comfort her daughter (locked up and rocking on her knees in bed crying emotionally overburdened by her mom's irrational behavior).....Circumstances dictated that I had to bide my time = in the end I took custody & raised my own daughter from 3 months on + I made sure that her daughter went to live with her father before I was finished with that monster.....There was plenty more besides that along the way....

I've paid my dues & after that - one unexplained/unreasonable/questionable incident from a gal = out of there......

 

 

As I have been there myself I agree and I have handed out several 1 way tickets to the curb and no second chances, period!

I cannot wait for the movie....  “ Escape from Phuket. ”

 

The Full Story link is worth a read.... proof one cannot fix stupid.

 

To think that people PAY to go there on vacation, yet 40,000 want to leave!

I agree you can't fix stupid. Why not just process everyone waiting their turn in line? Lazy police have to work too hard? They take the following day for holiday then reopen on Sunday. Idiots!

I think you have posted here by mistake rather than the 'holier than thou' thread

Someone must have asked that guy what the stupid people think...

Why do you even bother going in person when you can do it online? True sometimes the system is down so try again later. Once you get in you might have try a couple of times to get it to work as intended, but it does work. I was approved same day. You don't even need to upload any documents, just fill out the form and submit. So easy!

shut up .. what a stupid comment to make. 

Why do you think that's a stupid thing to say? Why don't you try going to pornhub and xhamster and type in "Thai" in the search engine and see what comes up? ????????????

Still waiting mine. Never file taxes because SSDI barely meets Thailand income reporting requirements. So no need to file US Taxes. One thing concerned me though. Their new app Get my Payment still doesn't show me. 

Has anyone been able to get positive info from that app? 

I can't even login into my account to see my status. I haven't received my stimulus payment yet. My 2018 tax return contained my direct deposit information because I was due a refund. I didn't include my banking information on my 2019 return because I didn't pay any taxes for 2019 and wasn't due any refund. I filed both 2018 and 2019 using my Thailand address so God only knows what will happen in my case...

How did you get those figures????.....I see it as soon as the major restrictions have lifted on foreigners and airlines can resume flying like before as nobody knows how long it could take, but as soon is the lights are turned on again in Pattaya the flood gates will be opened to the Chinese, Indians like no tomorrow.

I assume that you are not aware of the millions of Chinese, Indians, and everyone else on the face of the Earth that has lost their jobs. If and when people return to work and begin to put their lives back together traveling to Thailand isn't going to be anyone's number 1 priority.

I see a number of people saying that the post office doesn't have 10baht stamps, why can't you use 4 x 3baht stamps ?

This mathematical equation is waaaaaay to complex for them! They would have pull much needed artificial intelligence resources away from the 5,000 baht per month giveaway scheme.

You sound like one of those people who's presidential candidate lost to Donald Trump ????

All I have to say is use your best judgment for your situation. Obviously don't wonder into seedy areas, shop during the day in well populated places.Don't carry your ATM card, credit card, BTS/MRT card unless you need it. Only carry the cash you need when you go out and don't carry your cell phone with you. Do you really think a thief is going to let you use your phone to call the police before you hand it over to him/her?

After 20 years, Immigration software is still barely functional. Doesn't have a clue what my new passport number is 3 years after renewal.

 

Now they will trust artificial intelligence to correctly identify 3 million unregistered people per minute?

 

I want to try!

 

Are we talking about real "Artificial Intelligence" developed by IBM and Microsoft or the Thai version?

Commander of the Royal Thai Armed Forces Gen. Pornpipat Benyasri today issued a stern warning to all Thai people to stay home and to practice strict social distancing to avoid exposing themselves to the coronavirus or risk facing a full lockdown of the country.

 

So foreigners are free to do as they please in another words.

We are required by law to report to immigration. That's my story and I'm sticking to it ????

The Proviso is, that if there's a 24 hour lockdown, 'our' friendly army will patrol the streets.

 

*Laugh emoji*

The "friendly army" is under lockdown and can't leave their housing area's with a 21:00 curfew. Two of my Thai lady girlfriends are Thai Army ????
