Popular Post CLW Posted April 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 15, 2020 This is nuts. They never listen, they never learn... Are they hoping for some miracle in those two weeks that make the Coronavirus magically disappear? You won't see me in any public space except grocery shopping for the next months. And they talking about May 1.... 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustrating I can't get back into Thailand where I am still paying rent and was living. My fridge and wifi is still on! All my belongings are there. Happy to quarantine on arrival and have COVID19 test before I fly back. Before tourists are allowed, please give concessions to allowing retirees back sooner. Going mental with frustration! I Hope the Thai kingdom allows the farang retirees and others who are normally living in Thailand, back into the country sooner. Happy to start spending my money there again and abiding by all rules as I have always done. Sawadee krup. Khob khun krup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eindhoven Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I'm guessing the plan is to quarantine as best they can for two weeks, then they can state that Pattaya is COVID-19 free and welcome all back. So it really helps if we can be seen to play our part. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many Thais depend on unofficial random jobs and selling food. When they do open, I hope the overheads are not more than the trade. Certainly a large proportion of the potential customers will keep a low profile in the beginning, and rightly so IMO. For the business owners, overheads (staff wages, electricity & other utilities, etc) mean a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surelynot Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Would love to see the good old days return with illegal bars everywhere: under bridges, on building sites, derelict buildings, used to go to one in a disused multi-storey car park.

I am in the same case. - and I may not be able to come back before my Retirement ReEntry expires :(. I hope Immigration will do something for this case. I must not be alone ! - I could accept this 14-days quarantine, as it may take a while since foreigner are able to enter without it, and I want to be back ASAP. Anyone has any idea on how/where this quarantine is done ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Travolta Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 2 hours ago, OnTheGround said: Even more months before other countries allow their citizen to travel abroad, if not until next year. Then its the question about how expensive air travel has become? And if Thailand still requires Covid insurance, and 1-3 day old covid free proof from a doctor? Still a long way to go. Be happy for any restriction lifted, but remember its the land of U-turn. I just hope Thailand only lets people in from countries that have the situation under control like Vietnam for example, opening up to the west right now or even in a few months COULD be disastrous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, from another Thai Visa article - Thai media has referred to Pattaya as the yolk of the egg - an analogy about it being a center of the virus.

Everything he comes up with lines with what they purpose in the U.S. It may come as a surprise to you but April 30th is a date that has been used by optimists around the globe, delusional optimism in the US has just jumped on the bandwagon. There is no definitive timing and people need to realise the way out will not be as easy as they seem to think. Doors will open very slowly, Italy has started by lifting some restrictions and extending others. Both Italy and Spain, two of the worst-hit countries during the coronavirus pandemic, have re-opened thousands of businesses this week, with millions of workers heading back to their jobs. https://www.irishpost.com/news/italy-spain-take-first-steps-towards-lifting-lockdown-restrictions-millions-return-jobs-183457 France, Italy announce weeks more of toughest, longest-running measures in West despite pressure to ease up as crisis slows https://www.wsj.com/articles/european-coronavirus-lockdowns-extended-dashing-hopes-for-speedy-reopening-as-crisis-slows-11586812783 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
