For many...many years they ushered folks into getting flu vaccines because you know ???? This year the flu is a "new" variation & your flu shot from last year is no good now. Now they do the same with covid except as you said they name each new variant with a Hollywood horror show name to get you attention.

Yo Thailand this is how they do it ! Canada finalises deal to buy dozens of F-35 fighter jets from US

Factually what it states is "Nearly 90% of people in Henan, China's third most populous province, have now been infected with Covid" Which could also be said for many provinces in Thailand whose population have been infected & recovered for the most part Have now been infected does not mean currently carrying instead it more likely means now having natural immunity/resistance to further infections having had & recovered from it

This is kind of a black flag of sensationalized reporting at best "have now been infected" Could say the same for the village I'm in up north in Thailand It swept thru like a fire but.... Now everyone is fine for the most part & back to living a normal life I imagine it is the same for the 90% in Henan that were infected & now have longer lasting immunity/resistance

Yes...These are the people running the country into the ground

Very good example If we look at the quality of folks trying to get into America it is mostly folks coming from a real <deleted>hole South of the border So I guess it all depends on where you came from in comparison to where you now claim to Love ???? Maybe tons of people love today's version of CM for that very reason ????

Yes your one line snips are difficult with out a decoder ring ???? Point is you cannot dump these requirements on folks with 0 notice Thailand knew well in advance about China's intentions but as usual kowtow to China & finally came up with this knee jerk

What?? The post your replying to is making ref to the fact many have already booked non refundable tickets & to be told the day before flight you need this & that? What does that have to do with your smug reply?

Well there is a great reason.....Covid for the most part is in the rear view mirror of most countries Secondly you left this out.... 6. Airlines should ask passengers to Thailand to mask during their journey except during meal time or an emergency. So now a multi destination flight....Airlines is supposedly responsible for sorting those going to Thailand & making them alone mask up for duration except when eating or <sic> emergencies 555 Many airlines have dropped masking already But yeah bottom line during worldwide pandemic all chipped in...now post pandemic? Airlines should say its a get it yourself service Thailand ???? Or better yet do as British Airways

How about these gems? I think if I was an airline I would just say no thanks & cut flights to Thailand same as British Airways did previously British Airways Defers Bangkok But Goes Double Daily Into Singapore

Right off the bat this is problematic for many as J&J a popular Vaccine is single dose Secondly in many countries none go to doctors for covid anymore & the general medical advice is do not go & clog up medical facilities. Instead stay home & monitor this less than severe illness unless showing severe signs then go ahead to ER So none will have a letter from a doctor showing recovered & now immune for XX months as most never went to a doctor after testing positive Last but not least this old story same as last time So yeah we "Thailand" need proof your not sick before coming here...BUT.... No problem to make you sit next to possible sick Thai citizens because well they are Thai'er than you???? So glad we are leaving this asylum this week ...hopefully by next year this whacked govt is gone & we return because if not we give it a pass...again .... same as 2020-2021

Thanks & yes while we sold in CM we do have a home in Thailand & that works part time for us each year. Enjoy!

But he like I still have homes & family in Thailand Which is why we check in & post Plus I believe he like I spend a quarter of the year (most years not counting covid) in Thailand anyway so did we leave? Having lives & homes in more than one country is far from dull ????

I just did the same for your! Good Post

555 yeah sure there is always the "don't like it don't come poster" ???? We loved it owned & lived many years in CM & as you said medical facilities are quite good. Problem is these days if you are in an emergency situation you will likely die before reaching those fine facilities in a traffic gridlock somewhere???? Due to lack of planning/space for emergency vehicles to pass also lack of education where Thai me first drivers refuse to move. Also Yes as you said for sure the whole world changes...always BUT Some places change for the better but some places like CM changed for the worse due to lack of a planning department/corruption/ education yada yada yada But good you have a place your happy with...carry on enjoying

Yes I think that covid benefit was true in most of the world

Ubonjoe should be along shortly & give you the definitive answer ????

May have changed but here is my old checklist About the bank yes I believe for 1st ext based on marriage you need the 60 day seasoning Renew up to 30 days before TM-7 with Passport size photos Letter from your Thai Bank showing balance and up to date bank book. Marriage Certificate Marriage Registry entry. Wife's Tabbien Baan and ID Card. Your Passport. Copies of everything. Including bank book all pages & bank balance paper Photos of you and your Wife in and around the house. A map showing the way to your house. 1,900 Baht fee. Take your Wife to be interviewed. You will be given a 30 day under consideration stamp. Go back in a month and get the remainder.

Yes these guys right outside entry to Big C ( not big C extra) https://goodsureglass.com/en/

We are also preparing for influx of Chinese.... we are leaving next week 555 Just a lucky coincidence but happy to have it

Boom there it is He needs to refill his trough one more time before getting the boot

I recently posted something similar but we have already moved away in 2016 Visited 2018 & 2019 still seemed ok but upon returning this year found Chiang Mai to be really different But yeah CM...they paved paradise & put up a parking lot About the tourists on scooters only way that will change is when scooter renters start requiring scooter/motorcycle license from the tourists country. (so that will NEVER happen ???? ) Too many tourist have the silly notion the worlds most dangerous roads would be a good place to try scooter riding without any experience

Moronic (TIT) & totally discriminatory against a single form of transportation Yet continue to allow other two wheel transport like motor scooters & motorcyclist to descend of course???? Stupidity here never ceases to amaze. This likely has no real ties to any actual safety/accident statistics Because if forced to show records I am 99.9% sure there would be way more motorcycle/motor scooter accidents & even car/truck accidents on Inthanon due to the poor driving ability here in Thailand Truth is any cyclist capable of riding up Doi Inthanon is surely a capable/experienced rider & more than capable of descending that road. (If in fact there are downhill only tours then look at them not the ones that can cycle up that mountain) This is more than likely a push for business between Silver Vans & Lor Dengs probably related to chief of the park that had this dimwit idea.

Yeah but he is not in power is he? This is a classic example of what I said above about inappropriate cheerleading Why can't it just be a problem that needs help? Instead silly notions like this "well it would be sadder/worse if yada yada yada.... Which does nothing to help the actual problem does it? Problem with this whole left wing / right wing BS is it is all the same bird being destroyed But kids take sides & it goes downhill from there
