A Thai girl I know got paid from her insurance 200000 Baht because of her Covid infection. Quite a lot of money for many Thais. 

Heard of 400000. Just took 4 insurances with 100000 handout and bingo 

Just did mine. Took me 10min to complete. Got my approval within 1min ... Wasn't expecting that...

Just tried 2 banks aroubd the corner in Bangkok, same thing. 'o exchange 

Well Thailand is amazing. Low numbers are the norm I guess. I'm often tested at 28.2c at my condo... 

I was there yesterday evening as my GF needed a refund for a bus ticket. It was around 7pm and the building was closing. We didn't see any customer. 

BUT there was a little "army" of security guys grouped in rows near the road/on the parking. About 50 to 80 of them. No clue what that was all about ????

mine was 34 degrees ... apparently I have hypothermia and on deaths doors 

Happens every other day to my girlfriend when they take her temperature while she's sitting in the car. I call her my little zombie now. 

More seriously (or not) even if you have fever, inside a car with 21c aircon the IR thermometer will show no fever ????

Really makes me wonder.

All these people here on "Tourist Visas" who don't seem to be making ANY effort to fly home. 

Almost as though they were living here and not just visiting. Little wonder they are clamouring for (free) 3 month extensions instead of trying to get home.

After all, there are PLENTY of flights still leaving the country. The ban is on people flying INTO Thailand. Not leaving it.

The Canadian Embassy has been sending out emails noting the different airlines that have flights out (where connections can be made to Canada, i.e. Lufthansa to Frankfurt then to Canada).
As well, other airlines are still arriving and picking up people. They arrive empty and leave with as many as they can carry (that have tickets obviously).

My g/f flew out of Suvarnabhumi this morning on Qatar Air, which apparently has 1 or 2 flights a day out of Thailand. She should already be on her connecting flight from Doha to Berlin as we speak (or type).

Oh right. I forgot. It's not about getting home. It's about scamming the system to stay here longer (for free). And then bitching about how the government is treating them.
 

Your forget that many save for a year or more to go on holiday. May you be alone or in a family of 4, not everyone has the luxury to spend 800-1000€ a ticket for an extra flight home when their original flight has been canceled. On top of that what what would they do with a voucher which airlines are giving out now if they don't even have money left for groceries and clothing if they have to spend that extra cash? Many wait for a rebooking or got one at a later date.

It seems you're quite quick to bitch about the bitchers. That's kind of narrow minded to put everyone on the same basket. Doesn't make you better. Of course there are many who take it as an extra holiday time, but many not... 

Edit : spelling

Was just thinking about changing browser features too... 

Wonder if they thought about the double meaning...

why close convenience stores midnight to 5am?

 

that's the best time to shop with fewer customers about, and no lines at the registers.

+1  and in the meantime hundreds/thousands of people gather at their local market... ???? There must be over 100k infected by now imho

Can someone explain why VAT collection has gone up by 4.6% when consumer spending hasn’t?

 

More booze sales

 This was 5min ago ^^ Had to laugh and tell my GF about your guesses coming true.

Good point. The happy chap at the bottom of the escalator at Big C yesterday showed me the 35 on his temperature thingmie that indicated I had borderline hypothermia.

 

"OK!"

My girlfriend got her temperature tested yesterday at her condo. 34.7 degrees.... Well I guess I'm dating a zombie. 

You mean you come back from Thailand or you're coming back to Thailand?

So just to confirm “The country now has 827 cases and 4 fatalities since the outbreak began.” so only 4 known fatalities since this started? Italy alone is reporting 6000 fatalities. What’s going on?? 

If official numbers are somewhat true you should see numbers of deaths growing rapidly by the end of the week. Nobody dies suddenly from covid. Do you wish every infected sudden death? 

I don't have an answer for you but will monitor the relies as I have the same question. 

My emergency solution is to use transferwise.com to send money to a Thai friend's account. Lst time it only took 5min between sending the payment and my friend's Thai bank notifying the receipt of the amount (without fees for him).

Don't know nothing about it and ...... well even if it's true you just accept it and manage as best you can.

What are you scared of ...  ? 

i don't trust what any friend of a gf says especially in Thailand.

Thanks for your reply. Afraid? Not too much as long as I'm not stopped outside while catching some fresh 2.5 particles. My knowledge of this country is still developing and as you said, hearsay here.... Reason why I was curious if some had corroborating info.

 Let’s hope Thailand gets totally shut down during this week so they will have no choice but to extend my stay. 

I would bet on it. No clue if my info holds any truth, but my Thai GF just texted me that somebody she knows from a "news Thai office" just called her to warn that gov will announce an emergency act for 5months for people to stay home. I'm confused right now. 

Like everyone here I will have to chill out and wait how this develop over the next days. Too early for me to apply for extension, and my flight is on 11th. Uncertainty rules for now. 

Wishing best luck to all to hit on a lenient IO

Hi, I'm pretty new at posting here, don't flame me if this was already discussed. My goal is not to fear monger but to raise the question. 

My Thai girlfriend just texted me from work. Her friend is working at a "news Thai office" (asked for clarification) and called her saying the government will make use of an emergency act for 5months  to compell people to stay home. 

Does anyone have heard something similar or a clue what this emergency act is/would be or should I just relax and have a beer ? 

Recent numbers are 122 new cases, total 721. 

I'm surprised on how he wears his mask on several pictures taken this week. Barely covering his nostrils?
