I has been mentioned in this topic starting with his post. If was first found on division ones Facebook page.

So they changed the 3 days rule for the covid extension at CW? So now, I can apply for the covid extension 45 days prior to the expiration date?

Continued lockdowns probably sound better to expats on a fixed income than they do to the millions of Thai people out of work.

 

Just saying...

i think so too.  i actually don't feel much of economic impact under the lockdown.  just annoyed by the fact that i can't dine in at a restaurant, can't go to public park, and the curfew.

If the game is all about numbers then tell the US Government to send as many Afghan Refugees to LOS that can be stuffed in the cargo hold of C-17's??? 

No. I don't want the US Gov to spend anymore money overseas.  Thailand can just open the Myanmar border.  Thailand will get 1~10 million tourists easy.

He's not a governor, he's a stand-up comedian.

Just open the border with Myanmar, Thailand will get 1 million tourists easy and 10 million tourists will be very likely.  Anyways good luck TAT.

Not sure why but I'm keep thinking of mentos + cola

No problem for me when he "could " come back , as i remember in his era Thailand was fun , as the Thais smiled more than now the grim smile under P. already so many years 

Serious question. 

When I first came to Thailand around 2017~2018, Thais smiled a lot. Very natural and beautiful smiles. 

When I came back around 2019~2020, I sensed that Thais smiled a lot less. Very fed up looking smiles. 

Q1. Did Thais smile more before 2017?

Q2. What happened between 2018 & 2019 to make Thai smiles fade away?

I think this is a sesame street statistics.

Songkran Docet . Thet knew they had it in Samut Sakon province and they have let people travel any way for Songran . That's the Super Spreader that started this .

So we need help from the 'DEALTA FORCE' to stop the spread of the DELTA VIRUS!!!

DELTA FORCE!!! SAVE US!!!!

How about giving amnesty to all foreigners in LOS???, to give us ease-of-mind??? Why complicate things for us? huh?

They do this for covid extension?  How much do they ask?

Sigh...  This is truly sad...  

By the way, what kind of fruit does he like?  It would be funny if he prefers other fruits over those three.   lol

think most will appreciate that those arriving to date have specific reasons for being here,

Yes, but wouldn't that give out too much clarity to the public?   

I'm speechless.  Lots of pre cold war era style marketing I see these days.  Not good.  Not good.  So so.  So so.  Not impressed.  Not impressed.  

For me that was 2018.  I visited Thailand for the first time that year, and stayed for a few months.  I remember Thai people being really relaxed and courteous with beautiful smiles.  Just really easy going and generous to others in general, and they seemed quite content  with their life too.  Even though their life seemed a little difficult in my point of view. Their attitude in life gave me good first impression of Thailand and Thai people.

I returned to Thailand in late 2019.  I could feel that the air changed a bit.  People seemed quite fed up for some reason.  I could feel that people were stressed for some reason.  I was told that decrease in numbers of Western tourists and increase in numbers of Chinese and Indian tourists kind of changed lots of things.  I remember seeing Indian tourists negotiating for discount at a roti stand in one occasion.   I think the roti lady was selling one for 20 baht.  I was like WHAT THE F...

And now.  In 2021.  Its just terrible.  I feel lots of pessimism and annihilism on the streets.  I see so many people living on the streets, people selling handmade goods and foods on the streets.  Their products often look amateurish..  Which makes me even more sad.  Because I can see that they lost their job, and they are doing their best to make a living.  Thailand seems to be full of desperation now.

I remember getting watered from all over the place by everyone during the Songkran in 2018.  I'm quite nostalgic about that time.  Getting watered by random people on the streets.  lol.  People were just being playful.  People were just enjoying their time.  Full of smiles.  I really miss those days.  I'm feeling quite sad as I'm writing this. 

I remember that back in the day, lots of things were open 24/7.   There was always something to do. There were always places open to eat.  

I think Thailand will be back in business after COVID gets sorted out.  I have no idea when.  But I think it will be an uphill battle for Thailand.  Because other SEA countries are quickly becoming attractive day by day now.  

I think so.  A few months ago, I went to CW for 60 days COVID extension.   The queue lady at the counter looked at the wrong page of my passport and asked me if I've overstayed and if I'm also looking to apply for visa extension.

Here is a quote I've just found from thaiembassy.com:

"If you are overstaying in Thailand by a few days but still have several days before you plan to leave Thailand, your best advice is to head to the nearest Thai immigration office and explain your situation and pay the appropriate fines. You may find that you are allowed to apply for a visa extension which will cover the remaining days of your stay."
