So you infer Thailand has secretly sold possibly Pattaya to chinese interests with a view to developing it into a Monte Carlo/Miami style tourist resort/casino hub that will have to allow chinese professionals manage and work in its new look city approach

I arrived in bkk last april under AQL unvaxed my 72hr test was rejected as it was PCR lamp test didnt know the diff, was given a choice go back or take a test in the airport for 3k. presume you will get the same choice if they dont accept

Been a 1 stop trip only choice makes a difference, now if they did a dub to bkk I would too

Oh good news, 12 yrs travelling 2/3 per year to europe I never even came close to using them when searching on skyscanner all ways behind at least 6 other airlines on price.

Police on second road in pattaya where very active I got done for breaking a red light on my PCX was afraid to stop because some traffic behind me was not slowing down. Thai's routinely break lights no enforcement on them. They where doing only foreigners (saw it from room balcony) for crossing the newly painted lines while stopped.

I just dont get it, thai,s in saudi unless skilled and qualified but I think the general wont care who or what happens to them. At a time when some economies who are reopening can experience full employment and supply constrants he plans to send them away what an idiot... https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/03/25/saudi-arabia-labor-reforms-insufficient

Isnt the top floor of the ambassador hotel pattaya/jomtien direction already decked out as a casino A casino needs an adjacent airport for high rollers popping in they wont travel baht bus types, utapao surrounds might work. Its would be allowed by this King as previous speculated why not start the party another reason to go to pattaya

they are thailand's strongest foundation that supports its curruption. Family will get justice at their discretion dependent on family influence of the policeman or the deceased.

A deal was done money paid thailand junta needs to show something for its incompitence while ruining an economy

I have looked at the two options 7 day quarrantine in pattaya best option I have my own insurance that wont cover asystomic but is cover for covid treatment in hospital, the other is russian roulette X 2 and they probably have a + percentage target we will never know. Probably cheaper unless you have a place

airlines just require a mask

18k for 7 day v 12k + your 5 day stay and meals for T& G

2 day hotel packages 5 days between is not free and vaxed or not on arrival no different Extra documentation and moving hotels/locations is not what i want in my first week I think if you dont have a condo, same same but up to u...

positive or close contact on arrival under any option for internationally vaxed foreigners is a risk, but the 5 days would need near isolation to be sure for the final test is neg. Better imo, to arrive as unvaxed less complicated 1 hotel inc everything no vax cert detail issues, ie missing passport # or name not exact as in passport Lots of certs have social security no. as the main identifier

process is to complicated 30hr hotel conformation happen or not, lots of uploading and docs not compliant with thai requirements. Risk of catching covid in thailand and incaration. I am not a tourist so have visa might consider 1 week quarrantine probably a better option

TIT

Give it a week or two and the bookings are secured thailand will be rolling in dosh again there wont be standing room at its temples

the new T&G is an increased price of entry and how many of those 46 planes that keep thailand connected and are going to keep arriving if other destination are more attractive. Greed and stupidity Not Go & Test lol

In a weeks time tourist businesses who are complicit in these stupid rules will be winging oh we need to relax rules ie "I think we may have pitched our amazing Thailand to high and with entertainment shut what where we thinking"

I think this could be the start of the end of the current retirement ext I never invested in thailand alway keep my interests outside to much rule changing and with it come higher risk. Thailand is the bitcoin of retirement options

2500 arrivals yesterday on 46 flights thats 54 per flight and 500 of that are flight and cabin crews All those flights are lose making because of thai complicated money gouging rules for testing, hotel and insurance Hope people continue to vote with their feet

Also have to admire how they have got away with some mainstream media saying it a model to the world no quarrantine open to all with the test and go as if it was normal. Nothing about insurance or the dreaded positive 10 day incarsuration. This is a money play for Insurance, pcr testing and hospitality charged at a premium above normal, controlled by big business fits perfectly with punket mafia taxi TIT

Around the xmas and start of omicron I had to get a test atk to fly into ireland from spain local doc was doing it for €20 a pop, queue outside it was the cheapest. he put the swab in your mouth with one hand & the other a neg result with a smile he was talking in €500-€1000 an hour at a guess. So testing was a scam everywhere not just thailand but the test quarrantine and go x 2 with few travelling so charge more TIT, losers are airlines and customers who wont forget, the only way is a further downgrading as a holiday destination continues. The TP documention, paying upfront, inconvience and hassle of a typical €1000/1500 flight and accommodation is now T&G x2 with insurance is at least €1500/2000. Unfortunitly those who have to go back will be used a face saving stat.

They would drink a large chiang through a straw

like thai's, expats who live here dont want u or anyone else here lots of them on here, have no sympthy so <deleted> off, when i go back i will cough in their faces, they are hippos
