the infection rate slow in South Korea, China, Japan. Most wear the mask.
the infection rate increase in Italy, US, UK, France. Spain. Most not wear the mask.
Total true again. Open the eyes.
I not understand why some people argue about wear mask so much. Is not difficult.
Not be selfish, considerate for elderly.
thousand+ die everyday now.
Next week will be 10,000+ everyday.
The World Health Organization may not know everything, but it know more about viruses than anyone else. Here is their latest advice on masks
Contrary to your claim, wearing masks is difficult if you can't get one because Thais are hoarding them.
I notice that you did not include the fake news of your earlier post that people in Singapore wear face masks. Some do most do not. The Singapore Government follows WHO advice and has earned world wide praise for the way it has handled the pandemic.
Thailand has failed to deal with this in a timely manner, blaming it on foreigners (how many foreigners attended the famous boxing match and how many Thais were wearing face masks?). People living in Thailand Thais and Farangs, are now going to pay the price.

UK has got this right. Once a day you can exercise (running, walking or cycling) on your own or with members of the same household.
Exercise is good for maintaining the immune system which has to be a good thing in times like these. It is a positive not a negative.

It says the certificate must be issued by a hospital (rather than a private doctor??). In Hong Kong and Macau that would be problematic. They are far too busy for that nonsense.

From Cathay Pacific website - Travel Restrictions
Thailand Effective 12 March 2020, passengers departing from Mainland China (including Hong Kong SAR & Macao SAR), Korea, Italy and Iran are required to have the following at check-in:
- Health insurance document that provides at least USD100,000 coverage in Thailand (not applicable to Thai nationals)
- Health certificate, Link opens in a new window operated by external parties and may not conform to the same accessibility policies as Cathay Pacific issued within 48hours of flight depature certifying that they are free of COVID-19 (applicable to all nationalities)
Further, passengers from the above zones will be subject to a 14-day self-quarantine upon entering Thailand or the length of their visit (if less than 14-days).
For more information on the new travel regulations, please visit Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health., Link opens in a new window operated by external parties and may not conform to the same accessibility policies as Cathay Pacific
That is the first I have heard of insurance.
The link to Ministry of Public Health is also interesting.

Tour companies in Hong Kong are cancelling trips due to "...fresh confusion over quarantine requirements"
The Government's left hand does not know it has a right hand much less what it is doing. As for feet, they are for the Government to shoot at.
-
The next step will be all flights from infected countries will have to circle the airport for 14 days quarantine before landing.

I remember during SARS we were given a form at immigration. Every 2 or 3 days we had to report to a hospital for temperature checks etc. The form was stamped by the hospital and we had to carry it with us at all times.
This was a small inconvenience, but at least we didn't have to spend 14 days in a hotel room.

Macau only has 10 cases. Has not had a new one for weeks.
Macau and Hong Kong have strict quarantine rules for those coming from China.
USA, France, Germany, Japan, Singapore and Spain all have more cases than Hong Kong. If this is necessary why aren't these countries included.

Those that submit TM 30 are likely to be "good guys" (that Thailand wants "in"). I wonder how many of the "bad guys" (that Thailand wants "out") bother to tell Thai authorities where they are living so they can be kicked out.
Answers on a postcard.....

I just did my update a few minutes ago at Jomtien.
I needed photocopies of the Facepage of my passport as well as the page showing the most recent Extension of Stay stamp.
As well, I need photocopies of the "name page" of my bankbook (which shows the account number and your name) as well as the page with the most recent balance.I also needed the "appointment" page that they gave me when I did my extension.
Naturally, you have to sign all the photocopies.
Note: I updated my (Fixed Term) bankbook at a machine near Jomtien Immigration a few minutes before I went there. The machine did NOT print today's date when it updated the book. It did print the last transaction (an interest payment deposited just over 3 weeks ago) and it printed when the next "due date" was for the Fixed Term (which is in 2020).
I spoke to the guy at the front desk and he told me I needed to make a "100 baht deposit" so that the update would show today's date but you can't do that with a Fixed Term (at an ATM machine) as far as I know.However, I spoke to a woman that handles the "bankbook" check and explained it to her. She wanted to see the actual bankbook.
She saw that the update noted the next "due date" (being August 2020) and said that was good enough. She then checked that I had all my other photocopies (signed) and had me sign the "appointment" sheet and that was it.
To be on the safe side though, I'd go to a bank branch (when it's open) and get them to do the book update. I think the command they use to update the book then prints the current date whereas the machine outside only seems to print the date of the last transaction on the account.No need to make a deposit. Just update at an ATM, even with fixed deposit. The bank book will show the balance on the date you updated. At least that is what I did for Jomtien.

Thank you for your effort.
As a landlord I do a TM 30 when a tenant moves in. After that the tenant is under no obligation to keep me informed as to his movements. How do I know if he leaves Thailand and returns?
Even if he does what happens in I am not in Thailand myself? I might well be traveling with limited internet access. How can a landlord reasonably be responsible after the tenant moves in?

As above. Direct debit is the way to go.
If you live in a condo check with the management. Some will pay it for you if you leave enough money. Perhaps there is a small charge for the service.

Did mine about 1 hour after Pilotman yesterday, I wish they would stop anyone who is not actually submitting any form of application from entering the front door. The amount of partners/families walking around like headless chickens contributing nothing to the process really clogs the place up and adds to the general chaos in there. Yesterday was the worst Id experienced in 3 years. I was expecting it to be quiet but contrary to the Thai Visa doom merchants predicting a mass exodus due to new income rules they were still queuing in their droves to stay in Thailand.
I was thinking the same thing when I was waiting for my turn last week. It is not only the space, but these women kept interrupting the staff who were trying to work.

It's an interesting scenario.
Effectively, it means expats on the 800k/400k method could be locked in to their particular bank, because there could be 1 day out of the 365 days that the balance falls below 400k, which then makes a problem come next extension application.
In my case can keep current account going until after the next extension and then close it. I would need to open a second account 3 months before the next extension on more favourable terms.
I can afford it, but what a hassle. What I hate is the fact that I am not completely sure I need to go down this road, but I do not want to risk the alternative. I feel sorry for those who cannot afford to do this.
Common sense from the Immigration Department might be an oxymoron, but common "Big Aud"...... get real!!!!!!!

You might be right. The word "perhaps" in your post says it all.
I am fortunate in that money per se is not an issue for me, but the "perhaps factor" frustrates me along with the majority of posters on this thread. I only need to know what the rules are so that I can comply. The lack of clarity is appalling and unnecessary.

Was at Jomtien today for retirement extension - money in the bank on fixed deposit. Told to bring my bank book in on 5th August.
As I had hoped to change the term of my fixed deposit to accommodate the new requirements, which would require a new bank book, I asked the lady could I move the money to a new account at the same bank. Was told that definitely I had to bring the same bank book for the same account with the money still in it.
I can't confirm the accuracy of what I was told; I can only confirm what I was told.
Thais in Pattaya concerned by foreigners not wearing face masks
in Pattaya News
This is the problem we are facing. People do not want to accept advice from people who know their subject and know what they are talking about
