Northern Thailand has been one of the top areas for airpolution in the world although this is not a fault of the Thai industry , it is from China , there are numerous reports available online, and the burning of cane and rice fields contributed to this along with the production of charcoal 

there are numerouse clinics around the country which are set up to provide cbd treatments for a variety of ailments you can check online search medicinal cannabis Thailand there is a slits of all the clinics and their locations ,and as for the person with copd there are inhalers available you need to check and compare with what you are using currently,

To allow meeting of such huge numbers of people from all over the country I.e Cheltenham races 350,000 people attending, when the virus is knowingly highly contagious the current leaders of Britain who have not been able to supply PPE for frontline nhs staff, .  And tried to promote herd immunity at the cost of the aged and vulnerable should be held to account by the people the system that has been created is absolutely disgusting. Luckily here in Thailand there seems to be a level of control very little spread of the viruse. So no matter what difficulties one has to endure while being a guest be thankful for small sacrifice is far superior to lack of life

I know this will envoque a few comment, yet I believe that seeking forgiveness is preferable to seeking permission 

Yesterday I went to chayiaphum immigration embassy letter in hand paid 3500 7 day overstay 1900 for a visa extension they allowed me until April 8 when I have to return was told they needed confirmation from Bangkok my flight is on the 15 April I pointed this out very politely to the I.o dealing with me to no avail . I understand the pressures imposed upon people at this time of crisis but fail to understand the need for people to be returning time and time again surly this only increases the risk of this viruse spreading they are telling us to stay put social distancing this is not possible when you attend the immigration. If they do not come to terms with the severity of this virus it will affect a lot more people than they think be careful out there stay safe 

After acquiring a letter from the British embassy I attended the immigration  asking for a 30 day extension as I have a flight home on the 15 April, they gave me an extension until 8april informed me that approval  from Bangkok is required, I had to pay 7 days overstay 3500bht  and 1900thb for my visa this will be my 3rd visit to immigration in 3 weeks surely in light of the current situation there should be more attention paid to decreasing the spread of this virus not insisting that people attend offices where many people from different areas have to attend this surely increases the risk I would like the British embassy to press the Thai immigration authorities to ease up on their current laws and encourage others to do the same whatever country you are from stand together to beat this virus

There have been numerouse email addresses published to obtain a letter for a visa extension from the British embassy. Please please check and double check you will get a confirmation almost immediately 

Day 5 still no letter and no confirmation of receipt of application Monday will be 5 days overstay incurring a 2500thb fine which I can do without , not sure weather to reapply or wait I understand the pressure that the embassy must be facing yet I am annoyed that my first 2 applications where denied within 12hrs and now I have been waiting for 5 days

No confirmation of received email first 2 applications denied due to protocol within 12hrs, now 5 days overstay if I receive the letter Monday,

Thanks for all the info just sent my 3 rd application to the uk embassy awaiting a response 

Application for this letter made yesterday March 24. Reply same day sorry unable to provide,

I have applied to the British embassy their reply we are unable to provide letter for corona 19 to you as your flight has not been cancelled or rescheduled. Qatar air not responding to my enquirers as to status of flight 15 April. Today is the first day of overstaying , as Thai immigration refuse to extend my visa without this letter. Not sure what my next move will be concerned about being arrested and locked up,
