I imagine you'll be using a local (possibly farang) agent to manage the property for you. I know two such agents in Pattaya. They are very very rich and the condo-owners very poor. I won't describe all the scams rental agents use to fill their bank accounts at condo-owners' expense. Just use your imagination. Thailand is NOT Holland, khow chai?

I predict that every Indian s*x tourist coming to Thailand will have proof of double vaccination and of negative Xi Pingpong WuFlu tests. I also predict that most of these proofs will be fakes, supplied by corrupt Indian doctors. So, as soon as they do open the country in October, which I believe will happen to rescue the hotels, there will be a massive increase in the Indian variant and loads of people will die.

I'm staying away as I know that most of the s+x tourists coming from India will have fake vaccine certificates provided by corrupt Indian doctors.

Now that most streets are empty, Pattaya's rapidly-increasing stray dog population is thriving.

As for tourism, the authorities need to get their act together (some hope) and tell the airlines when the borders will reopen or else there will be no flights to bring in the millions of tourists the officials have promised will arrive. 

We already know that at least a third of the 20,000 who rushed back to the UK from India to avoid quarantine had fake Covid-19 test certificates from corrupt Indian doctors. So, how will Thailand be able to ensure that anyone coming from slightly suspect countries actually have genuine vaccination certificates?

Well I'll be there for December, January and February. Yipee. In fact I've just come back from 3 months in the LoS. The quarantine wasn't so bad - got a lot of work done and a great suntan on my large balcony overlooking the sea. And when I got out of quarantine, the ladies were very glad to have hansom man customer like me. 

Lufthansa and Swissair are flying via Frankfurt (Lufthansa) and Zurich (Swissair). If going to UK on these flights there's no need to pay for hotel quarantine

Swissair and Lufthansa are flying with stopovers in Frankfurt or Zurich. Business class on Swissair is quite good.

They sell it in Friendship in South Pattaya

Yes. And I would recommend the Best Bella hotel in Pattaya. Very large rooms with large balconies, some with sea views. Kitchenettes with full-size fridges in rooms and Netflix.

I tried it for about 15 minutes. Then I realised Facebook had complete access to everything on my computer - all my emails, everything. So I deleted my account.

KLM have stopped all flights between Netherlands and UK. But Lufthansa and Swissair are both flying twice a week from Bangkok to London via Frankfurt (Lufthansa) and Zurich (Swissair). Last week I flew Lufthansa from BKK to LHR. With Lufthansa there's a stopover of about 2 hours in Frankfurt which is pretty convenient.

Have money, go to bank with passport and money, open account. Simples.

And when you get to Thailand, you'll probably be attacked by packs of often aggressive stray dogs that seem to have invaded most cities and towns now that Covid-19 restrictions and lockdowns have closed businesses and emptied streets of people.

If you do get a lawyer. How will you make sure your lawyer is actually working for you? How will you know they haven't contacted your opponent and are taking money from them?

The Chinese Communist Party has ordered 200 million Pfizer vaccines for its top officials and military because they know the Pfizer vaccine works. Ordinary Chinese will get the useless (mostly copied) made in China Sinovac.

I just came with Swissair. They're offering some good deals on Business class from London to BKK via Zurich. Only problem is there is only one hour transit time in Zurich. If you're late leaving London and miss your Zurich to BKK connection, I don't know if the Thai authorities will accept your Certificate of Entry when you arrive one day later than scheduled.

If you ask the WHO, they'll probably tell you that the Wu-Flu originated in Australia as that's what their Chinese bosses have told them to say.

You are correct that if a Thai citizen doesn't use a repatriation flight with Thai Airways, then they have to pay for their own Alternative State Quarantine.

I have a visa and a Certificate of Entry (CoE). But my fight with Lufthansa has been cancelled and I've been moved to Qatar Airways arriving on the same day at about the same time. Will I be able to use my existing CoE or do I have to go through the whole CoE process again?
