  1. Here's the thing...Folks that are stuck here due to the virus story had 6 months to figure out how to navigate staying in the Kingdom or how to safely leave...They were betting that the Thai Immigration would just slap on another temporary extension...that obviously backfired. It's not like Thailand is unconcerned about peoples health. Looking at the history of overstayers, border jumpers and folks for whatever reason not acquiring the proper visa to stay in Thailand using tourist visas to skirt around Thai immigration laws, it is no wonder that Thai Immigration is bent on enforcing the law...No different than almost all countries in the world that have strict immigration laws...what is somewhat comical, whilst ending the stay for trapped tourist, they are cautiously opening up for tourist to visit Thailand. The new plan will most likely backfire and new strategies will need to be developed to draw in the numbers that Thailand is targeting and once enjoyed....I understand and appreciate the caution and the pressure that Thai immigration is facing. I have (soon had) friends that were happily stuck here in Thailand, I suggested that they have an exit Strategy or plan B if another extension isn't offered...some of my friends did what most folks did that were stuck in Thailand, they betted on the Thai immigration offering another extension. 

    Now they are heading home...I only hope they stay safe and I get to see them again one day, either here or there....

  2. Thanks!

    Have done the suggestions and waiting on word back...

    In the meantime some researching as led me to the following information....

    There are 3 possible pesticides that are predominately used in Mosquito eradication. 

    Malathion

    Pyrethroids

    Nader (used mostly in the US)

    Malathion seemingly the worst. WHO has stated that Malathion probably causes cancer, based on Lab mice results...

    It depends a great deal on if the mixing guidelines are being followed.

    Once I know, I can research further...

  4. True the fogger is a joke...I am vigilant on standing water! My main concern is they are spraying (not the fogger) something else, like a chemical solution that stings the eyes and creates immediate running nose's. They tried using this spray last year and I shut them down so they sprayed the perimeter on the street of our place and we still had a reaction. Was curious to know what is the chemical that's being used. I may have to scrub the whole garden which would be a shame.

  5. In the area of Chiangmai where I live, has seen an increased in dengue cases. Hence eradication is taking place weekly.

    My question is what is being used in the fogger application and what is being used in spray. I (did) have a organic vegetable garden

    and flower garden...If anyone has knowledge would be appreciative.

    By the way, no warning. I was not at home when they showed up. My wife innocently allowed them to spray our garden.....

    Thanks!

  6. Hi guys, just a visa run report. Just got denied my second tourist visa at Vientiane. Have 1 visa in my US passport from December 2018 and 3 exempt stamps. The guy simply said “my boss didn’t give you a visa, have to go back to your country.” Another American was denied in front of me; his Thai girlfriend asked them why and they said there’s a new rule where you can only get one tourist visa per year. 

    I’m wondering if that’s really the case because it seems extreme, or if it’s because they also totaled up my 3 visa exempt stamps. 

    Either way, just wanted to give people a heads up. Vientiane is no longer an easy consulate.

    I suppose thai elite is the only option now, either that or language school.  

     

    The above story was an email sent to me from a friend....

    Can anyone shed any light on this story.

    Thanks!

    The fastest way to train an elephant is to beat it in with a bull hook; therefore, I refuse to watch any elephants performing tricks.   

    Actually that is not accurate or correct....I know and am close to this elephant and her Mahout...There is no beating (Ever)...

    It all happens with a reward system and the proceeds from the paintings goes directly to supporting the free Lic. certified elephant hospital

    that provides free care to all the elephants in the area...Those are the facts!

  8. I have noticed that there are Police blocks ticketing mostly tourist on motorcycles.....

    They are stopping tourists and fining them 400 baht for not having a Int. Driver Lic.

    for motorcycles....the shops renting the bikes do not disclose that a Int. driver Lic.

    for motorcycles is required by law. The police do not go after the shops but lye in wait

    as the tourist rent the bikes and less than 200 yards down the street they are stopping

     and collecting the fine and then allowing the tourist to continue riding....anyone else

    see this going on in Chiangmai?
