Which requirements are not clear?

if meals are not included does that mean you can leave for meals? since the individual has been  around in public for 5 days already allowing that would make sense but it  doesnt say if leaving  is allowed

new rules are the same as the old rules=clear as mud, after all this time Thailand still cannot come up with a simple tourist entry policy, at this rate there will still be website issues and "clarifications" being issued 5 years from now

if you read the sea view resort reviews on tripadvisor you will see that the resort's  response to every poor review is  that the review is fake, sounds like a very weird place

This mess could have been avoided if The Thai govt had insisted that  coverage cover expenses for asystematic cases, the coverage could have been verified both when applying for a visa on the Thai Pass website from hell and at the airport by immigration

the "charismatic" police said canes were taken into evidence of the crime, the accused is 82 so imagine that, an 82 yr old with canes i hope the other evidence they claim to have is legit

love the logic...somebody isnt wearing a mask and the keyboard insulters  assume that is synonymous with a being a Trump supporter, well then based on that logic (?) Biden must be a Trump supporter....from Yahoo news

Maskless Biden appears to cough or clear throat in hand before meet and greet

and in addition to the money they bring they can bring in a new virus as well,  this idiot analyst ignored where the world -wide virus originated AND where the government covered the outbreak up  as long as possible

errr … are you maybe being a little silly? I’m no guru but have read here many times that only an onward ticket is required to enter Thailand … say a cheap flight to Vietnam or wherever. No need at all for your self-admittedly expensive ‘solution’ … but of course if you find it fun, knock yourself out.

 

Others will also point out the slightly greyer ‘rent a ticket’ approach.

 AS I SAID ABOVE "buy it to the cheapest foreign destination" , in other words, an onward ticket,   put it on your credit card and later cancel, it costs NOTHING and is cheaper then a rent a ticket. I dont find it fun but I do find cancelling a ticket online is easy, costs nothing, keeps your options open and  immigration happy. 

It is only "expensive" in the fact that you need to have the funds to buy an expensive, but refundable ticket,

to clarify y...i buy 2 one way tickets one into Thailand and a fully refundable return ticket leaving Thailand , I show that return ticket to immigration then later cancel for a full refund

wrong, thailand will not see tourists until they eliminate the idiotic required hoops to jump through, rip off test expenses, possibility of quarantine even if testing negative, a moronic TP site etc . what do they think, tourists will look at a calendar and decide its time to visit and ignore all the hurdles?

I too have BC insurance. When i looked into going I asked BC to send me a letter showing I was covered and to include alll the pecifics in the letter. required by thailand.  For example BC wrote the polcy covered covid expenses and was vsalid until ...etc Received the letter in about one week. I used it to apply fro a coe and had no problems getting the coe BUT I never went so didnt have to deal with immigfation

if TP is so easy then why do they have to tell you it is so easy?

do you think their plan is to destroy the entertainment industry and when it is at rock bottom, swoop in and buy up the depressed properties?  they are either incredibly stupid or incredibly clever

2 typos   above, should read that the usa does NOT provide ...and 7 pages not 60

in all seriousness..i wish all expats returning the best of luck and a hassle free trip and for tourists...ARE YOU INSANE?

I should have added expats "and those returning for other reasons"

in all seriousness..i wish all expats returning the best of luck and a hassle free trip and for tourists...ARE YOU INSANE?

i travel frequently and for all countries I fly into,  I buy a fully refundable and changeable return ticket to show the arline and immigration at arrival, i(in other words i buy two one ways, one ticket i will actually use to fly into a country and an expensive refundable that showns a return that i will not use) if my visa is extended  or my plans change i can change the return date to show at immigration, I later cancel the ticket and buy an onward ticket from wherever I am,

but beware that:

a fully refundable AND changeable ticket is expensive so you will need funds and note their cancellation policy

use a credit card and buy direct from a MAJOR  airline-makes it easier to cancel

buy from a major airline-i had a huge hassle getting a refund from air asia

you can buy a ticket to the cheapest foreign detstination to show immigration, it doesnt have to be back to your home country, example when i fly into the Phil i show my ticket to guam (a cheaper ticket  than back to usa mainland)

also, you will have to buy a return ticket in Thailand and the two one way tickets will cost more than a roundtrip but it does give you flexibility

there are other ways but this has always worked for me flying into both europe and asia, hope this helped

"The life span of humans – opposed to life expectancy, which is a statistical construct – hasn’t really changed much at all"

Walter Scheidel

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20181002-how-long-did-ancient-people-live-life-span-versus-longevity

i understnd the difference between life expectancy and life span, below states that people are living longer-(2nd paragraph,) regardless my point remains-pension checks and social security are not provided by the "nanny state" but are earned by the recipient

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/lifeexpectancies/articles/howhaslifeexpectancychangedovertime/2015-09-09

often argued that life expectancy across the world has only increased because child mortality has fallen. If this were true, this would mean that we’ve become much better at preventing young children from dying, but have achieved nothing to improve the survival of older children, adolescents and adults. Once past childhood, people would be expected to enjoy the same length of life as they did centuries ago.

This, as we will see in the data below, is untrue. Life expectancy has increased at all ages. The average person can expect to live a longer life than in the past, irrespective of what age they are

just saying.....
