  1. I arrived on a 30 day visa exempt permission to stay. American Passport holder. 

     

    My plan is to extend another 30 days at phuket immigration, then 2 weeks or so before that runs out, swap to a single entry Non-O (based on marriage) at the same immigration in Phuket. 

     

    Im wondering if anyone can provide me a detailed list of required documentation needed for both of these operations so that I dont have to make multiple trips, wasting days and bringing my infant with me every time? 

     

    I have everything thats needed, 400K seasoned in my thai bank account, long term rental agreement, marriage cert, etc etc, but for the life of me I can not seem to make any operation at immigration go smoothly and in one trip.

    I don't mind the time nor the expense of the quarantine, but is anyone hearing anything to the contrary, regarding the new rules?

     

    Nope. Its very much confirmed that you will need to do 10 days of actual quarantine and I believe 2 covid tests. 

     

    Much of the actual procedure to actually get to Thailand and all the paperwork is identical.

    That's not necessarily true. Even if Covid-19 becomes endemic - which admittedly it is looking as if it might, then unless the vaccines completely lose all efficacy (absolutely 100% of it) they will still protect a certain percentage of people. 

     

    We don't know what percentage efficacy will remain but even if it's only 20%, then a vaccinated person's chances of catching it would be 80%, not 100% - assuming they were exposed in the first place. And hopefully the efficacy will remain higher than that.

     

    You will 100% catch covid at some point in your life. Youll be exposed. It will enter your body. Vaccinated or not, this is 100% going to happen. Even if everyone is vaccinated, this is 100% going to happen. Vaccination is not going to stop this from happening. 

     

    So when people whine and cry and boo hoo and point the finger at people and throw blame, just know its all noise. Use all the masks, hand gel, appeal to emotion, threats, and societal consequences in the world, makes no difference. 

     

    At this point its about protecting yourself with vaccinations and moving on with your life and accepting the fact that this isnt going away and its nobody's fault.

    You need to ask yourself why are the vaccinated so concerned about the un-vaxxed.

    Maybe google "breakthrough infection".

     

    So what if theres a breakthrough infection. You catching covid at some point in your existence is a 100% given unless you live in a bubble for the rest of your days. 

     

    But you've done all you can do by getting vaccinated and essentially guaranteeing you will get through it without hospitalization or death. 

     

    Most of you need to do the following:

     

    Stop making your fear of covid everyone else's problem. 


    Stop thinking you are going to control covid. 

     

    Accept the fact that covid is not going away, you will eventually catch it or be exposed to it. 

     

    No amount of throttling the country(s) economics is going to do any long lasting good. 

     

    Your responsibility is to protect yourself. Nobody else.

    Yet still ,most of the deaths and hospitalizations occur among the unvaccinated.!!

     

    Just because more unvaccinated  people might be dying now than in the past is a function of the new strains of covid and not because of the ineffectiveness of the vaccines since , MOST OF THE DEATHS ARE OCCURRING AMONG THE UNVACCINATED. 

    And? Are you trying to say that once most people are vaccinated, we can then move on and don’t need to worry about it?

    I am glad you used the words "appear" to lie to Congress, because I had the full article, which I've now deleted somehow!!!

     

    And the crux of the matter is that he didn't lie to Congress because any funding which was given, and which had been approved by several other US government departments, was not specifically for "gain of function" research.

     

    And the fact that several countries had given money for research into bat viruses, because this laboratory was "specialised" in this research, doesn't mean that they were also promoting "gain of function" research.

     

    In fact the whole case hinges on why the funding was provided, and the reasons for it given by Fauci and co, versus a few senators who wish to push the case against Fauci and the funding using a different interpretation.

    You guys will defend anything, literally anything, and not feel ridiculous about it at all. 

     

    "Fauci didn't lie because the funding wasn't explicitly for gain of function" 

     

    Yet he did lie... He could have said all this, but he didn't. These people made an active decision to obscure the truth.

    Well I am pleased you have never had to spend 24/7 for days on end ventilating people to allow them to breathe, treating the symptoms, medicating them to remain calm, monitoring renal and cardiac function, and secondary infections, lack of  PPE, lack of ventilators, when colleagues are succumbing to infection.
