I actually found the bus company's website (i never imagined that local company to have a website ;).

They are back in service with reduced timetable.

Instead of deleting this post, I am gonna paste the their schedule, in case it's useful for anybody checking this post.

Sorry there are no simple questions on this forum.  Readers just do not perceive them that way.

 

Anyway I have seen an Orange Bus on that road several times in the past week.

 

 

thanks ????????

Maybe I should have just said yes I have seen them. Your post not saying anything is the same so should be disregarded as well..

that's enough.

Sorry can't help. But just replying regarding the waste of space replies given to very simple questions here on TV. Very frustrating,hope you get the answer you asked for.

anybody out there know if Chiang Mai - Fang bus service is back on ?

If it is, I assume, they are running limited service. Any recent experience ?

Thanks guys !

Won't change anything for me, but I am more and more inclined to think that, in the time of COVID, Thailand looks better.

yes it does ????

You completely miss the point. It has nothing to do with the number of active Covid19 cases in Thailand nor the number of dead or will die from the virus.

The whole world is in standstill situation now. Travel and tourism industry and all that is related to that is DEAD all over the world - not only in Thailand. Even if Thailand lift all restrictions to the point it was the day before the 1st case was reported - Thailand (actually pretty much every country in the world) is not an isolated, independent and self sufficient country, and the restrictions and economic crisis all over the world will still effect Thailand.

Unless more and more countries realize that there is no real way to STOP the spread of the virus, and all movement restrictions, although MIGHT slow it down a bit, will do more harm to the economies and eventually to the people all over the world, the end result from the economic downfall will be far worse than the death toll from the actual virus.

 

your comment is the one that explains what's going on the best. I have the same view on it looking at it from the global point of view. We all, and I mean really all of us, are in this together and have to come out of it together..... nobody knows when, nobody knows how, at this point, we all are just guessing, and some are pointing fingers at each other instead of cooperating each other. 

If I may guess, half of world population get infected, and when 70 % of those get cured we start seeing a sign of it slowing down. I don't even wanna guess the death rate. That all depends on how each country is set up with their medical system and how we consider and help each other.

We had torrential winds and rain up north in parts of Chiang Rai.  Air was much better this morning so perhaps you are getting some of the benefits of our storm.

I must have jinxed it.

Just few hours after I started the topic, it rained ! Very mild shower only for less than half an hour, but it was soooooo nice to hear the rain drops hitting my roof :)))))))

For some reason, there was a big drop in AQI between yesterday and today. I had my first bike ride in almost two weeks this morning. 

 

I live in Sansai, and rode out to the river. From there, I could see dark clouds blowing along over that whole ridge including Doi Suthep. Sure looked like rain to me. When I got home, I texted a friend north of MaaeRim. She saw the clouds overhead, but said no rain. 

 

I wonder if folks in, say Samoeng got any rain. 

I must have jinxed it.

Smog is so bad in the north . . . . . weather forecast is not showing any sign of rain anytime soon.

We won't even know if it's Covid 19 or PM 2.5 when we have breathing problem. Is it just me feeling this way. I am at the foot of Chiang Dao mountain, and can't even see the mountain most of the day :)))

Yes, but remember, Bangkok was partly founded by Chinese migrants/merchants.

I know, that's why I said what I said. I meant more of them to come with new opportunity to own all kinds of shxt at half price.

I find these numbers of Covid-19 cases in Thailand highly unlikely true ...it just cant be !! With the thai lifestyle and way of life .....its simply impossible. Many people also living and take care of their elders , much like Spain and Italy. Are they doing mass testing in Thailand on a massive scale ??? Something must be wrong .....or can it be pure luck ??? When will the real truth be revealed ??? I am seriously worried for all my dear Thai friends.

The big difference is this. Thais mostly do what elderly tell them to do, they take orders from the government . . . more testing must be coming like anywhere else, but for now, what we are seeing is what's happening. 

It's very nice that you worry about your Thai friends though:)

You can't really hide the truth like that anymore here. Thailand have 2nd most facebook accounts after USA, news would spread through SNS so fast.

Thanks Thailand, for doing your best to take care of us.

YES THANKS THAILAND !

Automatic visa extension announcement helped a lot to stop tourist movement. Instead of running to the immigration offices, they head to tesco/makro/BigC for bottled water and food to get ready for self quarantine. 

It was supposed to rain here in Chiang Dao tonight for the 1st time this year and I was getting excited . . . where did the thunderstorm go ???

Over 4 months without a drop of rain. Only Corona helped to keep farmers away from setting up fire.

For timely information at Chiang Mai immigration. I suggest you contact Mike Gaudet. He is an expat who is working there as an intern.  He's been very helpful. You can reach him on the  Thai Visa Advice facebook group here:

I was gonna go over there just to show my passport to be super careful. He wrote like how real people speak. 

Thanks man, I appreciate your reply.
