Stranded

[graham67]

Dear members.

im sure I speak for a lot of us who are stranded abroad and can not get back.

i,like many others,I own a house in Thailand,have a retirement visa,pay what I must etc.etc.

it seems unfair that film crews , migrant workers etc. are allowed in but no one seems to speak about our group

You aint missing nothing, boiling hot, everyone masked up, foreigners are filthy, and it's as boring as hell..you are better off where you are, in a civilised clean environment.

[graham67]

Sorry to disappoint you quiet man

I'm English living in holland and when possible thailand

[bwpage3]

Migrant workers do the slave labor for the rich.

 

Film crews put money in someone's pocket.

 

It's all about the money.

The other night, I had a dream/nightmare that I was stuck in the UK and couldn't get back to Thailand

Would like for my daughter to be able and get back here to visit since it is summer in the US and she is out of school, but then to much red tape for repatriation and such and then they would frown on her going back to the US once school starts in September.  Of course there are those that have family here, and family abroad, that can neither get here or if they went there would not get back here.  Balancing act on the blade of the sword for us all.

It is a lovely Island.  We go many twice a year, very relaxing. I'll give a post for you, as I know you love my reports so much. ????

Look forward to it. I know it's not for everyone, but if you fancy some proper grub and a guinness the irish pub there is very good.

Why didn't you come back in March when you could see what was happening?

,I own a house in Thailand

unless you are thai, you don't

[warcy]

Yes, retirees aren't really welcome in Thailand, it seems.

 

If you are work permit holder, you're welcome to open a bank account but not a retiree(only some branches welcome retirees)

My  company, of which I am the largest shareholder, (49%) , but not the majority shareholder, my wife and daughter between them hold 51% of the shares, own my house and farms, therefore I own them too.

Well, firstly migrant workers are essential to the Thai economy. As for film crews, that ain't going to happen. As another poster, a film exec, pointed out on another thread: foreign film companies aren't going to pay for their entire crew to be put into quarantine for 14-days whilst also being expected to pay their salaries for sitting around doing absolutely nothing. It's merely wishful thinking on the government's part. 

 

I'm afraid, like everybody else wanting to travel abroad, you're just going to have to wait patiently for this madness to end.

...dont worry..we're looking out for them...in the nicest way.

..money is money, or do we now discriminate the origin?

[Gee Ku]

You can't own a house in Thailand, Dutch farang! So don't bs the Thai immigration about owning a house here.
