This is like a lot of stuff out here Illegal you bet, and a bad reflection of Thailand and its people.

but never sorted by the people in Authority ? because if they do that there is no money in it for

any one, so 18 years later we are still getting these video's, You would have to dress like a china

man to stand any chance of a fair deal with the scammers, surely every person who earns a living

with TAT is in on this scam, just by turning a blind eye to this, they do not fear the video because 

they might get fined/jailed/shouted at!!! they fear it might warn other Farangs of the real L O Scams  

still trying to find out, is it illegal to buy Alcohol or Illegal to drink it ?   

as the only law i have found is about drinking in a motor vehicle

does any one have a quote?

i heard a rumor from were we live that three lads were arrested for

drinking beer in one of their houses (a laundry) and they say they got

40,000 baht fine each.

but surely you cannot be charged for drinking beer in your own house.

Hey, I know that one!  So you contact them after 45 days and tell them about it, and they say you waited too long, these things must be settled within 14 days (or some such).

"But I contacted you on (insert date here)"

"We have no record of that."

 

Best of luck with this mess.

 

 

i purchase most things on my UK credit card they are normally Quite good and i ask for

Charge Back if they mess them about (hopefully they do) then it becomes a <deleted>-take and 

they have come good twice before and i had one were they never replied back but that was

not a charge back, the Airlines are taking the <deleted>. as they do nowadays.  

i have similar but not AA,

I booked Nok Air for one trip they ''Suspended flight'' and have not been keen on refunding my money

i have recently had an Email from Chirayut [email protected] basically saying i can get

a refund after 45 working days ? (this was after messing me about so i involved my CC issuing bank and all of a sudden they replied)

my other flights were with Thai Lion Air who when i contacted they told me to contact my travel agent ? i went back over my booking and no mention of any travel agent until i paid but my total booking was made with TLA and i think i got an Email from Air-Paz or similar confirming the flight i had just booked? so they seemed to be wriggling from day one.

the Hotel refunded my money after bank contacted them, still trying for the other four flights.

i basically got music played day after day they wanted me to take a voucher but i have heard in the past other airlines have doubled the flight price so vouchers can be iffy.

Amazon refund within a day???         

walking with the wife yesterday and we came upon a Queue in Jomtien by Soi Watt Boon

there must of been a few hundred as the Thai people were like sardines, the

wife informed me that it was a  charity and food handout.

but just before by the market further up the road, it was busy and people did not seem to try

and do the social distancing, it makes a mockery of the closure of restaurants and other places

we did wear masks and tried to keep a couple of yards away from others, but a lot did not seem

to  be bothered.

Your statement is false.

"All coronavirus patients will be treated for free at all hospitals in Thailand, with the costs paid by three healthcare funds, effective retroactively from March 5."

It includes foreigners.

 

Well advertised information search it.

 

Could you put a link up to confirm this statement as most people i have spoken to since the stay home rules have been announced, believe that all foreigners had to pay for any tests/treatment re

convid-19.... due to past experience (20 years) many people do not have 100% trust in some hospitals here .    

just checked Nok Air and flights I booked and as far as I know were canceled

are now running again ??? ok I have been on lock down or whatever but I do not remember all the Travel Restrictions being lifted, I was amazed at the refund offered if you applied ''only flight fee refunded all taxes /Vat ect. ect.

not refunded, you can purchase a refund for 1000 baht per flight''

so paid 700 baht get about 300 baht and refund then pay 1000 baht is this legal??? they give you 300 and you add 700 and all is good....If this is legal it defies belief.... its like one flew over..

He would have done that the day before 

on my last trip to Jomtien IMM before convid-19 ,as I waited inside for my 90 days stamp, an Asian lad went to take a picture (there was lots of Agents with bundles of passports) but an immigration officer

growled at the lad and pointed at the ''No Photographs sign'' they were very quick to react, but now they let lots of pictures be taken outside in Their carpark, may be some of the Immigration offices are not happy with this situation and welcomed the publishing of this poor treatment to both Farang and imm officers as it can kill both parties its not like they are immune.  

just had Netflix ''something has gone wrong'' for the second day running

I managed to get it back on yesterday but went on their homepage today and all apologies and Vid-19  and not enough staff to cover at this point, so for me it is down but they managed to receive my monthly fee, 

but when I asked if they were giving refunds (mainly  because we  have four flights and two hotel bookings) and I am feeling as if no one wants to know about giving money back for something they are not providing and its all Convids-19 fault.

I have two flights with Thai lion air who on the only time I made contact told me to contact The travel Agency (I presume they mean '' Airpaz '') they have canceled all flights so why do I have to contact their partner in …...

the other flights with Nok Air has at least said I might be able to get a voucher but they asked me to wait until near my original flight date.

the two hotel booking have not made any reply but state if you cancel a week before your booking (yes) you will receive a full refund.

not one satang from any of them but my cancel of Amazon got me £5.99 within two days. has any one got any info on these lot, as they do not seem at keen on giving my money back.

Who do you think he would talk to? He is talking to the nation and his people, like every other head of state in any country. Why are you trying to make yourself so important in a foreign country?In my private opinion it´s much better you go home and wait for the Liverpool match, if not Boris and the UK government will make the whole team and half the country die before that could happen.

To all the rest that just spout your nonsense and garbage, I just hope you will eat your words when it shows how good Thailand is coming out of this compared to most other countries in the world.

Me and the wife have followed the self isolation method and only go for shopping (6.am)we wear masks whenever we go out, and on one occasion we tried going for a walk by the beach but we had to give that up, with people trying to sell us stuff and then they got annoyed because I told them to keep their distance? I looked around and many Thai's are all sitting together (mostly food vendors) and even when we were walking by the condo the Thai people walked in groups of five or six ?

maybe they all live in one condo but I do not think so, and when I have spoken to the wife over other members of her family who have gone to their village. they appear to visit and travel to each others house's with no separation or isolation whether they have come from other parts of Thailand like Bangkok, The village headman has informed every one they are on 14 day

Quarantine but from what I can figure they come and go as they please..

this is not 100% certain but from what I have heard it does seem very Lax. yet the figures for this Corvid 19 are very low and something seems out of kilter ? not sure what but either the weather (hot) or the Thai people have 

some immunity ? or we are not getting the full story.

If that's the case it should have been stated as "No non-provincial Thai's and Foreigners allowed"

from birth Thais are informed they are special and most have bought into the brainwashing and think Non Thais are not the same, it is far easier to run a country if the population have someone to blame who is only a foreigner. and very inferior to The Thai people. remember ''a Thai could not do this'' this has been working for years, people look to outsiders in stead of the real bad dudes...happens in different places with different ''Enemies''/Colours/Races/Religions'' nothing new just happens we are the Targets here.   

I have booked flights with Thai Lion Air for the 20th of April and they suspended our flights and offered a flight for about five hours later.

I declined that offer and asked for a full refund, a few days later it was announced we were under emergency rule ?and they suspended all flights from the beginning of April till May, and the Thai government instructed

All Thai Lion Airways to refund all flights that are affected.

I have phoned the TLA number for a week or more but it is shut down and does not even ring.

I have logged into their online site for my booked flight and all that it says is this flight is already canceled.

other flights (with other Airlines) I have booked and paid for have answered my call and have informed me I can get a new flight until next September, or a refund.

has anyone had any joy with this airline? my bank has asked that I contact them around my flight date for other actions, as it does not look good,

Below is a statement from TLA.

All of TLA’s 17 aircraft will be grounded for over a month after it stops operations on Wednesday (Mar 25). The airline is expecting to resume services on May 1.

Passengers who had booked flights between March 25 to April 30 have been offered the option to reschedule, avail credits for later travel, or a full refund.

1. Marriage ext req docs Thai-Si Racha Dec 19.pdf 94.79 kB · 1 download

At Si Racha (which is also part of Chonburi Immigration)1. Marriage ext req docs Thai-Si Racha Dec 19.pdf I was given a list of required documents (in Thai) and I needed two copies of everything. After my wife (the IO refuses to speak to the applicant and will only talk to the wife) presented them the IO messed up both copies together, then pushed the now single pile back to my wife and said each pile should be presented in exactly the same order as written on the list they supplied. 

Thanks for the list, we now have a copy each and I will get the Thai one copied in case the dragon lady is having a bad day.

Travel Notices

Air Asia

 

Thai Lion Air

For passengers who has traveling period 10 April 2020 – 15 April 2020

are given the following options:1.5 Travel Validity date until 30 September 2020

Not entirely sure if my return flight is covered on the 20th of April, they have cancelled the original flight , and replaced it with one about 5 hours later which is not what

I want, I booked the flights a month ago.  

looks like some great info and for people who have not gone through all the hoops (we were sent away or should I say dismissed a couple of times because we did not have all the forms in the correct order? when I asked

if they had a list of what forms were in what order, I got a glare and an arm waving us away) I did find one a bit later but in Thai of course.

I have copied both lists as at least until next year when no doubt they will bring in new or alter some things, we will be half way to our Visa,

so thanks Lads,

just to point out I am the 3rd person on the list to be liable for a TM30.

after the owner the householder, I believe my description is ''Possessor'' 

 Section 38. The householder, the owner or the possessor of a dwelling place or a hotel manager, who takes in, as a resident, an alien with permission to temporarily stay in the Kingdom,

"as now my wife knows how poorly we are treated when we venture down Immigration lately"

After >2 years enforcing the TM30 report, you or your wife couldn't get it done?

We feel so sorry for you. 

actually the TM30 was not mine to fill in, the person who was responsible for the TM30 was at work offshore, as suggested by senior mods on this

site the TM30 is not normally an issue when applying for an extension of stay, in fact in the last 10 years it has never been mentioned at Jomtien

whatever visa I have applied for, but this time I was applying for a visa that is not  welcomed  by jomtien Immigration, so it was brought up, and the lady on TM30 desk confirmed that it was not down to me or my wife, but there was an outstanding fine and suggested that it would be easier if it was paid for and erased, when the lady on the main desk brought it up, I foolishly mentioned the person responsible was offshore I noticed a slight

smile and I knew she was going to make an issue of it.

but do not feel sorry for us as it is not our responsibility, I could of argued but after three days I wanted the visa done , I now have copies of all the offshore lads passport details/ signatures /house book ect ect  for next time.   

Does anyone know the procedure when my flight with Thai lion Air is canceled and

replaced by a flight that is not suitable, do I get a refund and look for another flight,

it is one month away so not 100% what is what at present, and if I get stuck up country

can I do my 90 day report to local IMM or police or Village headman, all this was booked

before we had Corvid 19 (a religious ceremony for my wifes deceased parents at the village temple)

plus now several family members have lost their jobs and all have headed to the village

where it looks like my income will have to help feed a few extra mouths.  anyone know the drill. 

has anyone got a recent flight (Nok Air) from Don Mueang as we have booked to Udon Thani, and I am wondering if I should print boarding pass

as we are traveling with only hand luggage, some have said the airport is

empty, just need a heads up if busy.
