You can easily ask Chinese to follow a flag, but asking to be confined to a hotel room might be no piece of cake.

I might have an option now to get a work permit through a friend of my GF her company. They are seeking English speaking foreigners with translating help. It's basically them translating and then me correcting the grammar. Will only be a few hours a week. Hopefully They will be able to get a me work permit now during the pandamic. Doubt it. My HR say that it was impossible to get WP right now. Many comps recruit from expat already in the country as far as I know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can be done online though with Zoom maybe. According the WHO, 21st June was the worst day so far with 183,000 new infections. Realistically most can forget getting into Thailand until this pandemic slows down everywhere. Edited June 22, 2020 by tribalfusion001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJack54 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) Only 2 more hurdles for Thai gov to get Chinese back in easily. The medical insurance and the health certificate. Second one easy. Oh it's obvious statement something like.. The low risk countries in the bubble will not require insurance with valid health certificate from their OWN countries. Spike in Sth Korea today not helpful. Edited June 22, 2020 by DrJack54 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whos going to stop them? any signs of serious opposition is eliminated, will the head honcho step in on behalf of the people or is he busy with overseas interests? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Thai born son, mother bolted when he was 3 months and Ive raised him. We are in Thailand and together and ok but I can imagine it must be difficult for some parents here who have been separated from their children You married the wrong woman, sorry to say. Very irresponsible person to just "bolt". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbeach Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Chinese citizens won't be allowed to leave CHina for tourism purposes until October. So this "travel bubble" for them seems pointless and short-sighted. Why not let the Burmese, Cambodians, Vietnamese and Laotians in? Also Malaysians? Their numbers are much lower than the Chinese anyway. In fact, much lower even if we combine the infection numbers of all 5 countries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably right Sheryl they aren't always the most thoughtful in their proclamations but they always have the tried and tested U turn procedure once they realise the brass they may make might be negated by the cancelations Probably comes down to whether any member of the present hierarchy or their cronies own any hospitals.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I deplore the Chinese government and they have a tendency to condition as to brainwash their people. Last few years some actually naïve Chinese young tourists. But still, they are Chinese .

AndrewMciver Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 CHINA. CHINA. CHINA. CHINA. Pathetic. They nearly wrecked Thailand. Allowed tourists from Wuhan to flow into Thailand, when they knew it was a dangerous epidmenic, along with failure of local government to try and cover it up. Yet they are lusted after. If they are allowed back in on mass, that's me done with Thailand. Just no way. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark121 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 What is this about registered expats? I have a retirement visa but left the country to visit family in the states just before things locked down. I want to return as soon as I am allowed. I've never heard of registering to return. What is that and is it required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berti Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 How ridiculous is this? The first group which goes into quarantine and will therefore not import the virus is restricted to certain people. The second group which does not need quarantine and could import the virus is not restricted when from certain countries (which still have local transmissions of the virus)? And it took them weeks to come up with this ill solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berti Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 It is obvious that the virus is only used as an excuse to push ahead the dictatorship in this country and China serves as an example. They fit together so well. Social change from above and planned economy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
