If I were in my home country right now, and mulling a trip to Thailand, one of the things I'd be weighing, apart from all the other issues, is the prospect that after arriving in Thailand and having my "vacation," I might well find that my home country at some point in the future is unwilling to allow my return unless being subjected to a two-week quarantine or something like that because of having come from Thailand....

Spot on. I fully agree.

Everything is now completely irrational here, not only in Thailand but in most of Asian countries.

I am in Japan and supposed, on my way back, to have a 14 day quarantine as well as my kids currently in Thailand. Even some of my co workers start to tell me that.

So, even if I personally think that you're quite safe to come here, much more than if you rent a motorbike, your government may decide all of a sudden to put you on quarantine on your way back.

Wow.

Does that include people that only transferred through airports in those countries?

I live in Thailand with my family.

So it seems that they include everyone (including Thai according to the Ministry directive) travelling in one of these countries and coming back in Thailand.

Interesting topic. 

One question: can you apply from your own country ...or do you need to do it when in Thailand (and if so, can you do it with a tourist visa)?

Thanks 

So it took 1 full month to RTP to figure it out ????

I saw a recent list of the countries best prepared to deal with this and surprisingly Thailand ranked fifth in the world and first of the asian countries. 

Ranked 5th... based on the General claims that “it’s 100% under control “ !

So the guy went back home straight away ... and it took 14 days to RTP to look at CCTV and arrest him.

i am impressed 

It’s an automatic email / press release going out every Monday .

Monopoly cannot be good and already Grab does not notify me with as many promos as before. I can’t wait to see another provider coming up.

Yeah well when she messaged me she said she may like me, but she told me she likes guys with tattoos and big muscles, which I don't have, and she said she doesn't have sex with guys easy outside of work and doesn't bang guys not her type, she also have 2 kids

 

Looks like a smart girl.

Tatoos, big muscles, well you know how to spend your days before going to Phuket.

Congratulations, you’re still Number 1.

By far...

Bravo !!!

You can be proud . 

It also demonstrates how seriously they look at the issue. 

Blabbering in the media every other week is all they do

I have a friend who after being in an hospital in Chiang Rai has just been transferred to Bangkok at Rajavithi, which is, from my understanding, a good hospital.

However, since it is not her registered hospital, she will have to pay and is an in-patient. She is afraid that if the staff see her with a farang, they may increase her fees.

True or not.

Thanks for your experiences on this and advices.

I have no advice to give ... but you're a great friend.
