The T & G is a further reign in of foreigners living in thailand making it harder to leave/return

If this is a suptle new order how would one be able to unload a condo or 2 if invested, who would ever want to buy?

 

Speak to Harry, he seems to have bought lots of Thai property.

Possibly in the top ten worst investments ever but Harry seems like putty in the hands of those pretty Thai real estate agents.

No fool like an old fool and all that.

I know it takes a few attempts to explain things to you but here's a clue.

Do you understand?

Seems everybody else does.

Trust me, i understand more than most how it works and am very familiar with it, unlike you who apparently has no idea what you're on about.

I only have 2 properties ( in Thailand ), no agent was required to hold me hand.

 

Both my properties are worth more than i paid.

 

How much was your 18sqm show box? or are you one of the renters? - lol.

It's simple to leave and return if:

1. you have a brain

2. you can use a computer

3. you have money

Quite naive with a large helping of cognitive dissonance. 

Describes too many here.

So simple that no one's doing it.

 

You forgot

4. you enjoy being marched off to a hospital, paying for asymptomatic care and then hoping your insurer pays up.

 

Harry are you the Lord Haw-Haw of TAT?

Your in a minority of one but what a trooper.

Keep going it's gives us all a daily laugh.

Unfortunately, always at your expense.

Well, that was gratuitous. Posts about posters are boring.


the question is do you really believe that “no one” is applying for Thailand Pass now?

Someone should let the Thai embassy know, the UK embassy still has no link to application for test and go. We booked a flight on Dec 19th for the Mrs to fly out on Jan 10 only for them to cancel all applications from Dec 20th which stopped going as the confirmation didn't arrive before we could get hers in. That has cost me over £200 and now we have to pay for another test costing a further £100 so all in all at present I'm going to be  £300 down. No doubt the flights will be more expensive now too. I read all the time on here, people banging on about the tourists , what about the poor Thais trying to get home to see their families. Poor lass hasn't seen her ailing mum for 3 years  and unless they relax the entry restrictions then I may never see my mother in law again. If I go in April as originally planned I cant afford to stay in BKK for 6 days waiting on a 2nd test. There are no SHA+ hotels up in Isaan for me to check into on the 5th day , so 6 days in BKK puts £600+ on to my visit. I doubt the TAT realise that a hell of a lot of their tourists actually arn't  toutists but are spouses and when these spouses visit they spend more than most tourists as they generally  have a weeks holiday and then spend money treating their inlaws. I would guess between the Mrs and myself we spend over £3k in the month we are usually there but that will not happen if its costing us an extra £1k just to get into the place .

I have a similar problem however, depending on where you are in Issan there are SHA plus+ hotels in Korat, Buriram and some other places I believe

Lets not forget, machette wheeling nut cases, mass shooting at markets, being run over and killed at zebra crossings, mafia taxi gang at Phuket. double pricing for foriegners, endless scams. 

= no tourists.

A very wealthy Thai developer told my friend "I don't need farangs like you (who know the scams), I need fresh ones"

 

For every disillusioned farang who runs away from Thailand, there will be 1000s of naive ones flocking in.

But they (in Issan) do not seem to have a tie up with a hospital for the day 5 PCR test

This is probably the only place in the world that lays out the welcome mat but doesn't want to let you come inside.

Did you really come into a nearly two week topic to quote me with that garbage.

Thailand’s Covid entry requirements are in the middle, compared with its neighbors.

 

i can’t even get into Malaysia or Vietnam.

Jumped the gun with this. Misinterpreted your post. My bad. Sorry.

I meant Thailand put out the mat.  They just keep changing things constantly.

Your talking nonsense as usual.

What other countries have a day 1 and day 5 test?

As usual your just plain wrong.

Vietnam opens completely tomorrow.

You might also note that Vietnam has 98% of their population double jabbed.

Meanwhile, Thailand continues it's abysmal vaccination campaign at a snails pace.

Great. Vaccinated travelers only have to self isolate for 3 days in Vietnam. How does that compare with Thailand?

Sukhothai, Chiang Mai, Ayutthaya, Khon Kaen - just to name a few more.

I believe if one has sussed it out, can find numerous SHA/test approved accommodations throughout much of the country. Most of which [outside of BKK Metro] have just come about in the last month.

Vietnam opens completely tomorrow? Bit of an exaggeration I think. Vietnam most certainly does not fully open tomorrow.
