If you are going to down grade it to an endemic status like flu then treat it as such, no restrictions no testing no forced quarantine etc. This is what an endemic disease looks like. Anything else simply means you can be forced to test, be quarantined and have your holiday ruined. I won’t return until it’s all gone and the original normal is back in place which means being greeted by an immigration officer who is clearly unhappy to be stamping my passport.????

In my 30 + arrivals I was not even greeted once.

as most, if not all, these scams are probably  in thai language that's hardly surprising. but, instead of complaining do something, learn thai!

 

 

I have a better idea, stay away from LOS.

It is true that the requirements keep changing frequently, but the links posted by other forum members are nevertheless useful to the OP to check for updates closer to the flight date.

That's true but every link has a different story. Unfortunately.

There was this weird assumption in western society that strong, highly intelligent and capable women cannot also be beautiful and very sexy . Intelligent women were often depicted as frumpy lumps and beautiful women as vacuous dreamers in drama and movies (Marylyn Munro has a lot to answer for), I think this seems true of Thai society. This young woman gives the lie to that assumption and confirms my experiences having worked with highly intelligent female doctors for many years. She is perfectly within her rights, as a modern woman, to enter beauty competitions if she wants and take advantage of ALL the assets god gave her.

I think the name was Monroe.

I never say <deleted> the police but for her I make an exemption.

Just open the borders.  No tests, no red tape.

 

And free visas to attract tourists who are brave enough to come here ????

 

And some pocketmoney.

If the powers that be stop manipulating the Baht, and made it more competitive for buyers... 

No doubt exports would increase.. 

They are working on it. A new commodity ; workers.

Thanks G.O.M. !

I'm just actually reading about Lemon Juice with EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) and am considering it !

Forget about all the alternative remedies. I had lithotripsy 6 ! times and 3 operations. After the 5th lithotripsy I fainted, had a internal bleeding and was kept 5 days in the hospital.

Before the 2 last operations I faited at home because of the pain and was dropped in the hospital by ambulance where they kept me 2 days at cardio and 3 days urology and after this they operated me. The 2 last operations were performed trough my penis. Piece of cake ! Yes it still works, thank you. The main problem is salt which is excessive added in Thai food.

Have it sorted out NOW, the longer you wait the bigger the stone grows and the more complicated things get.

The above story didn't happen during a few years but over a few decades.

Good luck.

I've been getting dodgy calls for a week +44 which is the UK maybe 4 calls a day about online credit they were Thai's bye the way

I've been getting +44 calls for about a year, every month  2 or 3. I don't even answer them. I remember a joke some years ago me getting back in the office and my secretary telling my a lady named Elisabeth in England called for you, you have to call her back, this is the number.

So I dialed the number : Buckingham Palace was the answer !

Useless to check the rules now, they might have changed by the time you fly.

I'm currently in Pattaya for a few days, first time here in close to 3 years, and yes, the grandads are sure here in large numbers, can't say I've noticed many of the younger monger guys who used to come in droves, nor any family groups, just all those grandads walking around in their shorts & singlets & sandals. I guess it's easier for them, being over 50 and getting retirement exts, and having pensions. 

Whats wrong with granddads walking around in shorts/singlets and sandals ? Probably thats why they escaped from the cold winter. Do you want them to walk around in trousers and sweaters and maybe an icecap on their heads ?

My self I love to walk around in shorts and sandals but always in shirts, not singlets.

And never in Pattaya, in 30 + times Thailand been there only once.

My point is that you could have just mentioned granddads and not what they are wearing.

Seems you are envious.

Then, the NATO would be a defence pact against Martians? 

 

Or wasn't it at Munich (2009?) with his famous speech when he warned what will happen with the NATO expansion eastwards, something else than promised by James Baker to Gorbachov (when dissolving the Warsaw Pact) "No inch eastwards"?

 

  

No the NATO would become a football league, what is better to have enemies or friends and live in peacefull coexcistense ?

For what purpose is Thailand ordering submarines and F35 fighter jets ? Are they expecting invasions from one of the surrounding countries or China ?

Did james Baker speak for him self or on behalf of the other NATO countries : No

Did James Baker speak on behalf of the east European countries eager to join NATO : No

No one in the world has the right to deny any other country to join any organization like NATO, EU, ASEAN or whatever. Besides not many countries decided to remain in the Washaw Pact.

Why were the leaders of these countries  eager to join NATO ? As it was heavily subsidized it gave them the change to collect some pocketmoney.

Russia to start WWW3 ? 

 

Russia should have been a eu member and also part of NATO! This constant demonizing of Russia by the west is the problem. 

 

Anyway, to much propaganda from both parts, but Nato is deleting in their back yard flirting with Ukraine! 

 

We have a bigger challenge in the future than Russia, coming from Asia, not the east Europe.

Putin was asked 20 years ago if he didn't want to become a Nato member. The answer was yes but he didn't want to apply but to be invited which never happened.
