Can you do the Thailand Pass, enter Thailand on a 30 day visa exemption stamp and then extend for a further 30 days at Jomtein immigration as was the case precovid?

Thanks.

Nowhere to live.

600 pounds a month for a room in a UK shared house Vs 300 pounds a month to buy a Thai 3 bedroom house.

Thought so.

None of my pensions are frozen.

I have more income now than I've had since 2001 when I stopped working.

Why would you need to go back to work in the UK if you returned then?

I could, but I'd have to work, and I'd be cold all the time.

I don't expect to live past 70 ...... no need for insurance when you're dead.

This is exactly what I mean.

So many here have burned bridges, no plan B and hope that it all works out.

It's all a joke until it isn't.

Rising inflation, strengtening baht, frozen UK state pension and a never ending cycle of cheaper places to rent as your savings are eroded.

You don't decide how long you live unless you jump off a balcony.

Best of luck to you, your going to need it.

There have been restrictions on flying back into Thailand... certainly did not wish to get stuck in the UK. My home is here now.

Stay in Thailand.

You wouldn't know what freedom looks like here in the UK.

Give me four seasons, a fresh breeze on my face  any day of the week over the oppressive heat and humidity in Thailand.

"Get stuck in the UK".

You mean you couldn't afford to come back permanently?

Let's see how Thailand works out for you when you can't get insurance over 70.

Enjoy mucking out the buffaloes and i'll make a donation to your Go Fund Me page to get you a flight back to the UK.

Thailand is a backward basket case as you put it. Agree with you there.

 

'Red Herrings like Africa are of no interest' However, that's nearly 17% of the worlds population!

 

But you choose to ignore it lol!!!!

 

And about 3% of global GDP.

You left that bit out.

LOL.

Sir John Bell, of Oxford University, is on radio 4's World At One as i type.

He has just said the vaccine's are bad at stopping transmission but good at stopping serious illness.

Hopefully in a few years we will have sterilising vaccines.

He also has just said that mask wearing has marginal benefits.

Hastle and risk free travel to Thailand is going to be a long way away.

Even then they are likely to make knee jerk and hysterical decisions depending on which way the wind blows.

Typical, you change the parameter when the information provided doesnt tally with your on beliefs!

 

No one mentioned boosted we were discussing vaccinated i.e two shots.

 

Anyway even your booster disparities still doesn't relate to Africa or Bangladesh for eg

Typically you don't acknowledge the effect the developed worlds booster campaign has had.

You don't like facts.

Thailand is a backward basket case when it comes to it's covid response.

Schools closed and local governors panicking at the first signs of increased infections.

Infection risk raised to level 4.

The UK officially makes Covid endemic today.

I am interested in Thailand and the UK.

Red herrings like Africa are of no interest.

Bill Gates said yesterday, they are now more vaccines available then what is actually needed and that natural immunity is best.....however they still have alot of stock left which i guess is still being pushed to those countries that will still take it.

 

Listen here and even Bill is upset that the vaccines are not really needed.

 

The point i am making is that there is very little difference between the amount of people whom are considered fully vaccinated with the UK and Thailand (Both well ahead of what was deemed enough to stop the spread)

 

However then you add Africa's figures and the whole model falls apart.....less than 10% full vaccinated and the hospitals are certainly nut full or health capacity pushed to the edge (also take into account the countries dont have the facilities we have)

 

Look at the UK we are ending all restrictions on Thursday, even if you have covid you dont have to self isolate.

 

So now the difference between UK and Thailand is even more similar taken into account Africas figures busting the theroies apart, yet UK and Thailand are miles apart in terms of restirctions imposed on their citizens.

 

 

 

Thailand has 26% of it's population boosted, UK has nearly 70%.

I think you might find that's why the UK has cases and hospitalisations going down and Thailand has them going up.

The UK made a huge effort on boosters, Thailand didn't.

You forgot to read your own article, which is about why the data in Scotland should not be relied on.

 

You lose.

 

More to the point, even if the data from Scotland were accurate, it’s just one country. You can always find a point of time in any country where the data supports you.

The articles all explain how the figures can be twisted.

You just quoted from them above.

You lose. Again.

You add nothing but stir plenty.

You can be quaranteed to add zero to any debate, let alone one that doesn't concern you.

yeah, as stated, you can't backup your words, your accusations. I understand nobody likes to called out for their failures., too bad for you. My posts, claims, information, etc stand as unchallenged, non-refuted, no debunking zone. Sadly you and others zero in on the messenger (me in this case) and ignore the issues, the message. I'm not sorry for that, but you can fight the truth with your weakness and words, so, once again prove me the purveyor of misinformation.

You just lost.

You forget quick too. You mention this "misinformation" but sadly nothing I have posted here EVER is misinformation and you and many others have failed every step to show where I have posted anything that is misinformation. It's not about being quick, or a cut and paster like you, but having the factual information here in plain view which evidently destroys you, your narrative and likely puts a dent in your ego.

As I said, prove me to be the purveyor on misinformation and I will retract, you can't though and that's just to damn sad for u.

You and your chums look to have been caught out again with misrepresenting facts.

Don't forget i couldn't care less if you get vaccinated or not, i do care if you take up a bed for someone who could have used it but for your selfishness.
