If I didn't have a long term life and wife here...doubt I'd come back. Maybe once...but why ever return? Place has been over for a decade. 

Well said... I'm seriously considering a move back to U.K. If nothing else, my wife can get her ILR and passport which will make life easier down the road.

Just put an offer in on a property back in Cornwall, can always rent it out if we don't decide to bail on Thailand.

Condolences to those families affected but not a lot is it....

+ taxes, of course!!    They can hide all sorts of additions in there.

Plus the return leg is likely to be cancelled anyway...

Called Oman Air on their 24/7 U.K number and got through real quick.

Matey told me that they can't help with refunds, only possible to request by email !!

Been emailing them twice a week for the past 4 weeks with no response (not surprised tbh)

So I initiated a claim just now, with Halifax, and was told they are working on about 40-45 days per claim under the current circumstances.

Not bothered about the wait, as long as the payment is refunded. I'll let Halifax do the work now ????

That's why these tracing apps are a worry as the government will not be able to secure people's data, even though they promise otherwise !!

Is metal detecting legal in Thailand? I could do with finding some buried treasure. ????

Yes it is, on public land but permission required on any private property...

Sounds like they wanna herd the tourists around like sheep - yellow sheep over here, black sheep here, white sheep here.

Maybe that's how they've looked at us all along ????

There will be no black or white sheep allowed...

This prevents anyone from selling,

I think that is incorrect, however no-one is likely to buy a piece of land with a Usufruct in place.

and Permanent Residents who haven't been able to return. 

Absolutely and retirees that have made Thailand their home..

Underwater metal detecting. Mainly waterfalls and swimming holes but did a lot of hunting on beaches in Oz whilst working there.. 

Got into it after losing my wedding ring whilst kayaking on a river near Phatalung..

Still not recovered my wedding ring, even after a couple visits back to the same place.

Have found quite a few other rings and lots more besides ????????

I would think a lot of posters are uneducated in the laws of thermodynamics. Lots are uneducated in technicalities of bee keeping too !!

Can you supply in mini packs that will fit in my coin operated dispensing machines in every  village ?

China is phasing out coins so update your dispensing machines...

These are the mini packs though ????

Oman Air just told me my flight is cancelled !! Nice of them to let me know..
