    Royal Thai Embassy, The Hague has rejected your registration/application.

    Due to please submit an evidence of an adequate finance

    from  https://coethailand.mfa.go.th

    They may want to see no less than say 40k Baht in account not including airfares ASQ etc. Just last page of statement will do. But this is surely not good for tourism. There a joke

    What site are you applying on? Doesn't ask for it at https://coethailand.mfa.go.th (for the first phase anyway).

    Yes the only requirement is 20k baht at airport arrival. Anything other than that is a 60 day tourist Visa lol. This is simply the wroung selection for Visa. No bank statements lol. All this is standard on Thai site. The embassy can't change exempt rules.

  3. I will say this now. I know the Thai army or gov. Which ever you wish. They did do there best in some respects. But They wanted to kill off Pattaya. That is the truth. I thought thus week 1. It was only when a Thai official l know through Australian boxing told me the truth. Its so very very sad. For me due to the fact l lived there for 5 years. If you ask Bob Arum. Who are the high rollers..He will tell you only the Chinese. But everything comes at a cost later. This gov never made any attempts to keep the entertainment districts alive. Because they were waiting on the Chinese.

    They have destroyed many lives and believe there still popular.

    Appears some people (with no friends?) don’t believe you. 
     

    I know over 30 who are planning next year, they would have come this year as well. 
    Families to Khao Lak usually four star 2-3 weeker types, a retiree couple who will come for four months and go five star all the way and a few single blokes more three star and one usually comes about six times a year. 
     

    They have all been before many, many times. The retired couple about 40 times since the 1970s.

     

    it will be cheaper than usual as an added bonus. 
     

    You got to wonder if the smart traveller actually travels.

    Thailand will bounce back quickly. How long did it take Phuket after the tsunami? About 6 months. They will start letting in vaccinated tourists in February. People I know are planning the southern winter mainly June to November.

     

    2022 will be back to 30 million plus. 

     

    You are a smart man. Living in Thailand. I very quickly learned how resilient Thais were. And as much as the army don't want nightlife. They will soon see that Thais wiil not give up.

    Why would I not go.

     

    I have lived for quite a few years here and I can see the effects every day. I can read and see posts all about the tourist industry from guys who actually live in tourist areas and get their information first hand. I know of several Thais who have been personally affected by the Covid crisis and have gone back to their rural families who now have to feed extra mouths while their own income is decreasing.

     

    I don't have to put a negative spin on Thailand. The government, TAT and half the other government departments already do that.

     

    You and your 7 mates coming on a holiday will not put one Thai person back into a job. If there were 7 or 8 million of you spread out over the year I would be cheering from the rooftop.

     

    I live in rural Thailand and even out here businesses have clpeople sacked, not furloughed, sacked with no compensation

    Good for you. I was previously married to a Thai and lived there for 7 years. Have a gym and 2 condos currently. It's not my business what you do. We do not care for any negative opinion.

     

    Good luck

    Both the PM and deputy PM have made many statements over the past few months and quite a few of them appear to contradict (themselves and each other).

    So whatever they have said may well become irrelevant depending on what they do and will say.

     

    This is all so fluid that what was said last week, may or may not be altered this / next week.

    Writing has been on the wall along time. Statement made at there formal event. Prayut there. Make of it as you wish. There's been a policy shift
