You are right. This is a giant conspiracy to lock up foreigners. Must have been dreamed up by the 1% globalist elites in order to control the sheeple. And I'm sure Big Pharma is in on it also. Also, covid 19 is not real, but just hype by Big Media.
you have it all well nailed down in your little world - up to you

They need their loyalty, why do you think they made the bonus in the first place?
maybe millions are now starving and have no work and it seems the government is unwilling to support them or businesses that are about to go under or already have

Read the article. Most of the people were not hotel guests.
if you believe what the article said
That creates other questions - how many guests were there, if they were all visitors from outside then they deserve what they but the resort has a responsibility also to ensure they are

It is confusing ... but remember, a week ago, with the initial 'draft' of the Pattaya lockdown ... hotel owners were supposed to tell the guests to leave, make a decision within 3 days, or something like that. Definitely not take on any new guests.
In sum total of this situation, and what's going on around me since weeks and in the news, the fines etc.
I'm pretty sure that I, for myself, can see what my current boundaries are, what's a pool party and what not ... it's not that difficult to judge.
Unless total ignorance takes over.
Not saying I don't like pool parties, I love pool parties ... I just wouldn't do it in Pattaya right now, I'm not that stupid.
my definition of a pool party in an organised event not a load of guests hanging around their hotel pool - the fact this place in known for pool parties has little to do with anything

I'd like a definition of "group gathering" and "party"
I you have a load of people staying at a resort like this as guests how on earth does anyone dictate who should or shouldn't go and sit outside round the pool or in the dining area etc etc - is one of the guests going to tell another - hey you can't sit here I'm here already.

But, as we all learned the last 20 years, the Baht survive time after time.
Will this time be any different?
The baht is a heavily manipulated currency mostly by their own 20 richest to support their overseas investments - what happens in-country or to the very poor population is of little interest to them - greed wins

The government has asked all ministries to cut their budgets
exactly what is wrong in this country
It should be the Government in full control of budgets and not individual ministries - it's like employees dictating their salaries to employers

where is the clinical evidence that this drug is an effective treatment

Bin...
Have you any idea of just how rich and greedy these people are
I suspect once they start quoting billions you are lost with zero's as like many Thais you just can't comprehend it
I don't know how much your hero Bin is worth but I suspect 1m baht would be like you donating a single 20bhat note relatively speaking
One of the problems I find with many Thais is their inability to comprehend just how rich these corrupt (deleted) really are - 6 zero's is the limit that most can understand

No. I am using the last entry date December 2014
yes mine is April 2014
I think someone may have entered your new passport on the system manually - something I believe they can do if they really wanted too - I have asked every time I do 90 day in the office and the IO just shakes his head, it should be part of the process when getting stamps etc transferred - registering your new passport on their database properly
I think one of several things - he is either just lazy and couldn't be arsed or he doesn't know how to do it or doesn't realise that he can and hasn't been trained or shown
If as you say you have never crossed a border since new passport you are the exception - and I think just lucky
-
could be a one off - until someone else is able to confirm this, like I said mine did not work today
Can I ask if you are still using the original date entering Thailand

True but he also claimed to have a non immigrant O-A visa in that new passport which can only be obtained from a Consulate. Suspect he means extension of stay or a notation of visa from old passport but not sure. At any rate time to pop the cork will be when approval is received I suspect.
or an extension of an O-A, fail to see how it matters anyway - he stated he renewed his passport and has not left Thailand on the new one - he should not be able to do online 90 day reports if he has not crossed a border on his new passport

If his PENDING-status is changed into APPROVED-status that would be evidence that the on-line system now also works on a new passport without having to exit and re-enter Thailand.
actually not correct - if he got to the "pending" status then his new passport has been accepted in the online reporting system - if it is not approved it will be for another reason
I just tried mine again and it still does not get past the first page - I was able to do online reporting for several years until I renewed my passport - still have not left thailand on new passport - will try again tomorrow because I am right on the 15 days but I don't think it will work

Your case is #2 - You have a new passport and did not re-enter Thailand since you have that new passport.
>> The 90-day on-line reporting system will only work for you when you exit and then re-enter Thailand on your new passport (with a new TM-6 entry/departure card).
did you not read his post
he clearly said new passport and has not left the Kingdom and yet it worked

I had an interesting experience today with 90 day reporting. I renewed my passport 1 year ago and the system has prevented me doing online 90 day reports since. I tried again today and it seems to have accepted an online report.
It did not give me the usual Pending page but it did give me a transaction number. When I checked the transaction number it does show the report as pending.
So it appears that 90 day online reporting may be working for me at least and they might have fixed the problem that locked out people with renewed passports.
very interesting - are you sure you haven't left Thailand even over a border - yes I know but just making sure - I will give it a go and see what happens
not holding my breath
all it would take is for an IO to update your passport number on a database that i am sure they have access too but just too lazy to edit, I did the same as you on several occasions - gave off to the io about it not working on my new passport - he actually said will work next time but it never did

Then they must have much more troops on Phuket to control the situation. If not i predict 2014 2.0.
I predict 1997 meltdown with 2014 to top it off - a double whammy that will outstrip both - like I said the government better step up or else

57 minutes ago, xylophone said:Quite agree, and I have been out and about over the past few days and true enough there have been a couple of handfuls of people shopping in Big C and one or two in Patong Central, but most "disturbing" for me is the number of small businesses/shops which are already showing signs of disrepair, and most of those with for sale/lease signs in them.
In fact yesterday I saw a queue of Thais outside of the car park of Makro, who seemed to be queueing up to pick up water, but it turns out they were waiting for someone to deliver some food (rice etc in polystyrene containers) for them.
I knew one of the ladies standing in the queue because she used to be a cook at the pub/bar called, "The Beach house" in Nanai and she was a good cook as well, so I stopped to talk to her and she said she was queueing for some free food and showed me a couple of little vouchers that she had in order to pay for it.
I asked if she was okay and she said that she had no money that's why she was queueing, so I gave her a thousand baht to be going on with and wished her well and drove off. But it was not until a little later when I saw her and a few others traipsing back to their one-room apartments in the rabbit warrens behind Nanai, that I felt very sorrowful indeed, because these people have nothing and do virtually live from hand to mouth, and of course now there is nothing to buy food with, and I felt so inadequate because although I have given some money to various people during this time, it's never really going to be enough.
I know the little money that I gave her will not go far, but at least she has some food vouchers to help her along, but I wonder how others are coping and how they will cope once the lockdown ceases. This because a lot of the smaller businesses that they were once working for won't open again, and even the slightly larger ones will be struggling.
I don't think the small businesses in Patong will ever be the same again.
100%
out and about today I saw hundreds of people in very long lines about pattaya city all waiting for free handouts of food etc
This country is in dire trouble and the government better step up and start spending the huge money they claim to have or else this is going to be a disaster and as I said - no ending of lockdowns is going to solve anything, this junta government better get with the program - this is going to continue for months - they better step up or there will be anarchy on the streets of Thailand

Dr Sophon Iamsirithaworn, director of the Department of General Communicable Disease, was reacting to a news report about a woman who got infected by touching bags despite being in self-quarantine in her house for three weeks.
how on earth did they conclude this ?(not saying it's not possible). in order to contract from touching something - someone infected would have had to touch the item first ............ so who was that person ????????

Sure, it has been said it lives on surfaces several weeks ago.
So, those food deliveries are no safer then eating in a restaurant with proper distancing.
90 hours I believe is the expert advice

Nice to see Thailand leading the charge
washing hands has been the most understood agreed global critical advice for most of 3 months now way beyond any advantage of wearing a facemask
are they only getting it now ????

Just a prediction from my crystal ball.
I don't agree - they can't afford it, but removing the lockdown fixes nothing - no tourists no money no trade .......................nothing for at least 12 months
