Perhaps she's waiting for you to make the first move.

Yeah that's what happens when 1% own almost all of the wealth and bump up the average of the poor.

Yep, definitely a world class resort.

I wonder if one day employees of Central Retail Corp will be paid only with C-Coin?

My Thai sister in law is a teacher and my Thai wife has quite a few teachers as close friends....none of them know if they are opening the schools or not on Monday. A farcical situation to expect everything to be in place within 3 days.

Yes....one has to wonder why this is acceptable for unvaccinated locals to travel around Thailand but fully vaccinated and PCR tested tourists still need another PCR test and a night, possibly 2 in quarantine on arrival.

Thanks very much for all the replies, I appreciate the advice.

Gonna have to get rid of the test on arrival and first night quarantine before meaningful numbers even begin to arrive.

Hi I'm looking at the possibility of sending a large sum of money to the UK, up to 10 million baht. Has anyone done this before? Interested in the best method and possible pitfalls. Thanks for reading.

I think alot of the flights were probably repatriation flights.

I'd like the Vaccine Passport because my Certicate has my name in Thai only and my id number. The computer system in the hospital where I had my vaccine wasn't able to enter my name in English and required a 13 digit number in the id field so weren't able to enter my passport number. Trying to avoid any problems at the airport and immigration.

To quote Flanders and Swann...."it all makes work for the working man to do".

Just tried to order mine and still only has the 'pick-up' option available.

You won't test positive for at least 2-5 days on arrival in BKK if you catch it on the plane which makes the test virtually pointless if you do a test just before you fly and test negative.

It's a big deal for my daughter's family of five who usually have an annual holiday in Thailand. PCR checks in both UK and Thailand followed by an expensive Govt Quarantine Hotel, albeit only for one night, will add hundreds of pounds to the cost. Factor in the risk should one of their kids test positive in Thailand it just isn't worth it right now.

I tend to agree with you but I made the point because Thailand is nowhere near the rate of those vaccinated in the UK and can see the Govt deciding that the perceived risk in letting British tourists in is just too great.

Back in the UK covid has just blitzed through my grand daughters school, she caught it and has self isolated at home. I expect similar here.

True but a test just after they land stands next to zero chance of a positive result if they are. If they want to catch people who are infected whilst in flight they will have to test from the 2nd day onwards.

There's 2 PCR tests to negotiate. One in the 72 hours before you fly and one on the day of arrival. Not really required for double vaccinated tourists imho.

They escort you to duty free and make you purchase a high-end iPhone with an overpriced 12 month call and data contract.

Wonder how long the UK will remain on the safe list? Deaths per day heading towards 200, the Govt warning of 100,000 cases per day soon and hospitals already saying they're under serious pressure with the increased case load.

Does anyone else find it absolutely remarkable that the tested rate has remained at a constant 14.68% for days now?

"The party leader added that Suphachai has been asked to first seek his input before expressing views." You're not paid to think out loud you know.

Just registered on the app quite easily using Google Translate, the camera option works very well.

It is, and Finland 555. Seems they're counting 24 EU countries, despite there being 27 countries in the EU and then adding the 3 EU Nordic countries, Denmark, Finland and Sweden. My brain hurts!
