I am living here on a pension, and certainly not rich by any means, but come on, you changed your mind on a holiday because the price increased by the equivalent of the price of a taxi ride to your hotel? You really must be living on a shoestring! Uuumm, don't think you get it. What about if they charged you 300 baht for everyday you stayed in Thailand, would that be acceptable? There has to be a point where we have to say enough is enough. The problem with the UK is that we've lost our backbone. We just roll over and accept everything. If people didn't go then they wouldn't charge it. Oh, and by the way, I retired at 41. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand is very compliant but have done very little testing..go figure! I'm very interested by the markets you visit, please inform me of these locations.

The question is, whether / when the Embassy will accept that in order to issue a visa without the other requirements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular posters will know who I am talking about. If that bothers anyone, it says more about them than the "negative poster".

StrandedBusinessPerson Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Well, I missed my yearly visit from where I live here in Nepal (close enough to walk), and I really miss the beach... so bad. But I would never come to stay locked up, even for a day. That's not the point. Amazing how tourism boards can't figure that out. And if I where a local, I would not want to see tourists walking around drunk and maskless near my home.

You said "plenty will pay". 300 arrivals a month or whatever is not "plenty". You are not to smart. Other countries blocked travel only special exemptions But with vaccine things will change.

lkv Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 All the so called hiso's in Europe, and many others not so hiso, have fled to Dubai for Christmas/NY, then some onwards to Maldives, so I guess they were not too excited about the Thai Government's generous invitation to quarantine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, no question should be off-limits to science. Secondly, it's believed that energy is diverted from brain development to fight disease, which is why most of the lower ranked countries are tropical and have many endemic diseases like Malaria. I'm sure this isn't the only reason, but, it sounds like a plausible factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Chance Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Too expensive. STV visa 12,000 ASQ hotel 50,000 = $2000 Should be STV visa - $60 ASQ hotel $25 per night + $15 food PNR test $100 Airport pick up $25 = $675 Thailand's got 10,000 empty hotel rooms and they just want to play games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
