Some guy has posted on here how he thinks anyone who disagrees with people travelling during March or earlier hopes something happens to anyone with that view. 

17th March UK advised all but essential travel.

I was due to go back in Jan but changed my plans not because of the virus but another matter. By February Thai people were wearing masks way before the government began giving any advice. 

There was enough outbreak information during that 1st quarter to realise aeroplane travel was a risky step.

Even now it is a risky step and retirees being a major at risk group is surely part of the reason why retirees are not getting back so quickly.

I feel for the guy who wrote in and maybe his 6 year gf can become his wife in the event of future issues. I agree it is not right to look at that as a solution but what else can you do to get that acceptance into a flight.

What happened to people who made the decision not to leave:

Had to cancel all travel plans

Had to go on amnesty and left in limbo 

Had to search high and low for a long term solution

Had to learn of family deaths via phone call

Had to isolate and not buy beer for one month

Had to read about amnesty fears everyday for months

It was super clear what the deal was with this virus in February. I suggest as an international traveller you keep upto date with world affairs and maybe you could have made a better decision on your plans.

Maybe you can join the local wat and go there a bit to just relax and meditate. Going to the wat would be seen as a good thing. 

Here nearly 7 years took a few photos of temples but never stepped into one. Do people just go there and relax like you say?

50. 60 and even older pushing prams, what the hell were you thinking? Half of you will be dead before the kid finishes school. 

 

These are your golden years in a country where all your fantasies can come true. ????

You had to wait until your golden years for your fantasies to come true or did your fantasies involve an old man?

Is it against thai business culture to not accept the original offer and explain the extra time required at the new location and ask for more?   I am a fairly good poker player and I tbink she has a good basis for asking for more.   The losing is worth the risk.  Because if she asks for 7000 and boss says forget  it and will find someone else  I can send her 2500 that she was making.  But I feel its worth  a gamble to ask for more.  She won't lose her job for asking.  

If you were a good poker player how come you got so many trivial problems. She ain't complaining so what's the problem. I am sure you are not privy to all of her life. Maybe why she keeps a condo. In any event if she is not complaining mind your business she work there 20 years and it's her career not yours.

Get her consent to moan about her problem before you moan. If she has an issue she don't need a white knight to solve a Thai problem.

OP you have us right here 247 365 what more do you need son???

We are all alone here and that's a choice for many and then you got that group that need other men to hold their hand. 

You want that?

Be a Man and don't ever mention this slight again.

If feel the urge to ask help from some people in a forum, you are better of to talk to people who are actually educated to help people with these issues. Do you think you know better?

Education versus life experience. And you choose education. Explains a lot. 

In the real world education is the lowest form of qualification. It simply provides a seat at the table. How you conduct yourself whilst at the table is drawn from experience.

I havent been mentally scarred  by it and dont crave school children or miss  whiplash sessions in older  age.

Was the 1938 world cup any good?

In Canada  as well, the French language province of Quebec is also getting closer to being locked down again, as the numbers of covid are soaring, Ontario is getting higher numbers too.     I hope the people of Thailand keep up their cautious measures and stay healthy.  I hope to return there as soon as a vaccine is being offered and the flights are more available. Winter is not far off now.

Brrrr.

Geezer

Got a few mates in BC. All absolutely gutted and feeling trapped. One lad likes to hit cuba regularly. Everytime I talk to him he sounds like he should be on suicide watch. The only Glee he seemed to have was when I informed him of my visa issues here may force me back to UK. He was robbed of that glee when we solved the issue.

Plenty of Thai tasty in canada though right. Blue pill too?

Might have pulled the trigger on Spurs too early with the Top 6 maximum.

Signs of a strong squad just got to ensure no repeats of the jekyll and hyde events. Pleased for Jose a top manager and if he can deliver some silverware to Spurs he will be back to winning ways. 

Kane and son to net hat tricks today lads. 

Yeah this is it lads but try to keep the scores half respectable we don't want united getting rid of the gift that keeps on gifting, too soon. 

Maguire. 80 m

Current value 25m

Son starting means this is a goalfest action packed away win

Looking forward to the match today. Hoping to see Spurs reinforce the idea that united are destined for a bottom half finish

The trick is to walk round with a minimum of 100k baht. That is such a fat wallet you never forget it sticking out your back pocket. 

Koh Chang needs to pay big time for this. Koh Chang needs to be seperated and deported from the rest of thailand. It's the only logical solution to save Thai tourism.

Heil bad student.

This guy is no stranger to trouble it follows him he is 37, 3 years ago he pulled a gun in the US and these days he's resorting to reviewing hotels online and it seems he is paying a higher price for the reviews. Real mugshot photos too. 

I have about 10% I speak Thai and can form sentences but I have never tried to learn or read the language. I just pick it up. I can sit with Thai men and have a discussion if all parties are trying to communicate. Few beers and a chat once in a while. I speak Thai to my son when he is naughty, he answers back in english.

17 year old killer caught 14 years later still appearing to work as a killer.

Been thinking about this and if governments can bail out or attempt to bail out certain sectors in a bid to revive economy and get over the c19 fears.

Uk done a 50% off food bill scheme for a month

Thailand domestic tourism stimulus

Then surely at some point after dust settles and the airlines still remain in tatters. Governments will need to subsidise flights to get people moving for a while.

Mostly awful suggestions. Why would anyone consider traditional hotels boutique or branded this year. Isolation is the key to all travel itineraries this year.

Maybe if the <deleted> baby seat manufacturers actually advertised they could litrually make a killing and save a load of lives. Car seat for kids adverts - zero. Try educating the locals and then woodpecker that advert and sales of car seats will sky rocket. Petition the government for a law change do <deleted> something.
