If you don't like the way things are done you have options. Clearly your understanding is at a disproportionate lower lever than many others here, but no worries, carry on in your delusional world if that puts you at ease. And as for that juvenile statement, often used by those with no solid arguments i.e ".If you don't like the way things are done you have options." then bye bye as that has earned you a place on my ignore list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Thai Pass, no forced insurance, no masks, no midnight bar closures, no ever changing, flip flopping rules on a monthly basis confusing people.... So why post, to state your decision to not arrive?

If you already have insurance that meets the requirements you don't need to buy anything. If you are employed by a Thai company you don't need insurance. If you do need to buy some you can choose who you buy it from (Thai or foreign company). So, erm, who is making money out of this? Quote while every other country is already back to normal Right, so I didn't just have to do two separate online submissions (way more complex than Thai Pass) to get permission to enter Singapore then? I must have imagined it, silly me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your first point is moot for a tourist, they don't have local insurance, are not employed here and the Thai insurance companies are making the money, with a possible backhander to the government.....

Win win for me, dollar is strong against the Baht. Perfect for a cheap vacation. Spent 6 months in South America and the dollar was killing the Colombia Peso. , and had a killer time. I was checking Panama. I will make a trip to Panama this winter, instead of Thailand. Going to Thailand in July Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a lot more problematic to me than the Thailand Pass as I can now travel to Thailand without fear of being caught up in a problem when I return.

It is not moot. They don't need local insurance. They can use their foreign insurance. Do you not understand there is no mandate to use Thai insurance companies AT ALL. The coverage requirements are super minimal, most travel insurance covers it, ergo most people don't need to buy anything. And even if they do they can chose the beautiful foreign Western company of their choice and make them rich instead. But nice work on getting the TVF cliches in there - by the way you missed "brown envelopes". Must do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
