Popular Post bwpage3 Posted July 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2020 Migrant workers do the slave labor for the rich. Film crews put money in someone's pocket. It's all about the money. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandRyan Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 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.

warcy Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Player Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
