Well, perhaps I was a little harsh on the old gal, sorry Thailand! Truth be told, my wife and I kind of got stuck there and the immigration laws and the environment were not suitable for the business plan we had hoped to implement.

 

For me really, a year-and-a-half was enough time to see what I needed to see and while I didn't see everything, I saw enough. I enjoyed our time there, but I don't feel the need to ever go back.

 

That said, I totally get what others see in the country it has a lot to offer - with or without some of the over-charging, the brown envelopes and blatant racism I felt at times from some Thais, but that's just my opinion.

So you lived here for a very short time and didn't like and moved on.

That's is fine but why do you (and others) have to bash any effort the people make to get expats and tourist back into the country ?

Is the Sandbox perfect, off-course not far from I have to admit.

But at least it gives the people a alternative to the 14 day room quarantine in a Bangkok hotel.

Personally I see much more costumers and people in general due to the Sandbox program and every help in those days.

I'm sorry but I'm a little bit sad and frustrated by all the negativity specially from people who are not involved or effected. 

We should look at what can be done better then just say that all is <deleted> and useless.
