And thousands more have purchased reasonably priced tickets and are now happy and safe at home doing their 14-day quarantine.

Which doesn't help the people who've had flights cancelled which is what the post refers to. When I read posts like yours I know without looking that it's going to be from one of half a dozen unsympathetic culprits on here, of which you're one.

Actually, you're wrong. The Corona brand is worth $10.1 billion. While Corona is a very popular beer in the US, it has also gained popularity all over the world (emphasis added for your convenience)

 

Corona is the leading brand in Mexico and imported to more than 120 countries through beer giant Anheuser-Busch InBev. Revenue for the brand rose 17.6% last year after a 19.9% jump in 2017. The gains were even more robust outside of its Mexican home market, with sales up 28.5% led by China, Colombia and Western Europe. Volume was up more than 75% in Brazil. Corona Extra was introduced to the U.S. market in 1981 and became the fastest growing imported beer in U.S. history. Today Corona is imported to the U.S. by Constellation Brands (AB InBev has rights to the rest of the globe). Corona is the No. 1 imported beer in the U.S.

May I suggest you consider the possibility that just because you don't like a given product or service doesn't mean it's not very popular. Just look how what is likely your logic led you to make an incredibly wrong assertion.

Just one in many incredibly wrong assertions by CH.

It's to check that ALL the seasoning rules are met. 

 

Additionally, I was advised today that CM are now requiring 2 copies of all documents.

I can maybe see why they demand 12 months statements for the retirement visa with not letting the account drop below 400,000 for the whole year, but I can't for the life of me work out why they need it for a marriage visa application.

Tks for the vid, I may try that method next time. Did my latest 90 day last week by EMS post within the 7-15 day timeframe, and received the confirmation slip a few days later. 

Made me laugh today, on my trip to the shop I lost count of the number of motorcyclists I saw wearing a mask but no helmet. Although the virus is serious, I'm certain there's still far more chance of dying on the Thai roads than being killed by the gremlins. Saying that, I'm all in favour of attempting to stop this thing by whatever method.

Nil I would say.

Shirley everybody but ME!

Don't call me Shirley!

My wi-fi was down at lunchtime today, dunno if that was responsible.

Yes. The reason is obvious so I won't expand. Did mine by post today, 14 days before the due date. About three people in the post office as opposed to hundreds in Jomtien Immigration. Hopefully, I'll have some success this time. Last time they didn't send a slip and I had to go to the office anyway, even though I had the EMS receipt. Fingers crossed.

The problem with Germany, like most European countries, is that they don't know how many citizens they have. Illegal migrants have beggared up census counts. It doesn't take many to keep the virus circulating.

That's probably why so many older people are so disappointed

As you say I would never think about contacting them

In my days of working for them, I like to think that we made some effort to help our citizens abroad. These days we have no consular facilities, even though we like to pretend that we still do.

I just hope those farangs who can afford private health and don't have it, get some real soon.

Why? How about those who choose and can afford to self-insure?

I'm due to do mine around May time to give myself a full year on my passport before doing my next one year marriage visa extension. I'm watching the thread to see if anyone has a comment. 

They should lock it up and throw away the key. In my book treachery is the worst crime commitable. Everybody knows that when you sign on the dotted line for military service, you do as you're told, regardless of your personal beliefs.

Wonderful! By the way the OP is wrong, Songran in the Pattaya area lasts for at least 10 days normally. The attitude here is "It must be Songkran somewhere in Thailand, so let's go chuck some dirty water about".

Miriam hilariously said: "I can like them and have my male friends, but I just don't feel groin excitement from them."

 

   Hilarious  : I cant start laughing 

Don't suppose many right minded men would want to get within a yard of her groin. Yuk!

Fell over did she? Maybe she could do with losing a few pounds of her rear end and even more off her mouth.

They were scanning when I went to our Makro today, BUT, as I got there they just waved me passed ! which was actually daft as I do have a sort of cold right now and may well have had a temperature. Guess farangs are not considered a risk in his eyes...5555

They scanned me, but just shone a blue light, didn't touch.
