Indians are urging the Thai government to add India to the list of low-risk countries for Thailand’s November 1 re-opening. The Bangkok Post reports that the Indian community in Thailand have pointed out how much they can contribute to the economy. The plea comes as Thailand prepares to re-open with minimal quarantine for vaccinated visitors from 46 approved countries. While countries like the UK – currently experiencing a surge in Covid-19 infections – have made the grade, India has not. According to the Bangkok Post, Satish Sehgal from the India-Thai businessmen association is concerned the exclusion of Indians will send […]

I have this feeling that because the Chinese aren't coming until high season 2022, the Thai Government will soon change their tune. The days of "Travel Bubbles" and "Greenlanes" were only relevant in the days before vaccines, when countries (like my own) were pushing for suppression and elimination of the virus. Delta changed all that. In reality, the only criteria should be a PCR Test 72 hours prior to arrival and full vaccination. As these conditions apply to whoever gets on a plane, there is no need for a list of accepted countries. It's a farcical concept. I think is reality it exists only to keep the Thai people calm about international tourists coming. It certainly isn't based on any scientific grounds.

I thought you were going to say a beaver curry had something to do with fish (referring to a different plaice).

I heard that mentioned in The Dambusters. "The Bombay doors are open." But never saw a duck, only a black Labrador dog who shall remain nameless.

      DTV & ..question..

      I wont argue at all - because mine was that way when in Chiang Mai and Rayong. However, that was not the case here in KK. In fact, because of all the additional and different rules they have here for annual renewals for Marriage, next year I am going to switch to Retirement - unless things change. Your current situation is great, but as I found out, there is no guarantee it will be that way in the future (they always change some rules here) - and it may not be that way if you ever change Provinces. Chiang Mai to Rayong was a change, but no problems - KK was insulting and difficult and unacceptable. One size does not fill all, as I found out the hard way in KK. 3 visits to Office, 2 visits to Bank, 3 Officers visited House, 2 Witnesses required in the house who both had to sign witness statements, Insufferable long 10 minute speech by General littledick (in Thai to the Wife and Witnesses), and a overwhelming desire to stand up and tell the little vagina that 'I bought this effin house and I spend over 1 million baht a year in this country - so eff off and get the eff out of my Wife's house you little ................ But because I cannot speak Thai and am older and have a lot more self control than when younger, I remained quiet and still and said nothing. And then I had to smile while they took a few photos - aarrgh!

      DTV & ..question..

      The only financial requirements to move to and live in Australia are the provision of documents to show that you have the financial capability of supporting yourself when you arrive - ideally for at least 4 years and/or until you can gain employment. That is often supported by statements and commitments given by family members already in Australia. There is ZERO requirement to pay any money into an Australian bank account and to keep it there for any period of time - ever. Likewise, there is no requirement to apply every 12 months to stay. There is no requirement to report to Police every 90 days. There is no requirement to apply to leave and re-enter the country. The only similar requirement in Australia, and all Civilised 1st world countries that allow people to move and live there, is to report whenever you change your address - until when after 2-3 years of 'good behaviour' you automatically become a Resident. Then if you want to, you can apply to become a Citizen. IMO Thailand has failed to properly implement an Immigration System (how unusual I know). They need their current Immigration system for Tourists - but they need an new 'system' for those who have the financial means to come and live in Thailand permanently in Thailand, like all civilised 1st world countries have. This constant creation of new Tourist Visas for all the new long-term stays is a dog's breakfast. If you did not know, technically (legally) all Expats staying in Thailand long term are Tourists. That is why the 90 days reporting and the 12 months annual renewal is required (even if done by themselves under things like Elite Visa) - because the maximum period of stay for a Tourist in the Thai Law is 90 days, and the maximum validity period of a Tourist Visa is 12 months. Thailand does not have a legal basis upon which to allow someone to enter and stay in Thailand as an Immigrant - ONLY as a Tourist (or Diplomat).

      Yes I have noticed that for many decades now. Some cats are OK (a few) - but all dogs are great.
