Re: (Don't) Wear a Mask Debate

Masks in the covid setting serve 2 purposes, they reduce the distance of particle travel and give a feeling of security to the wearers, whether that is they may not become infected or spread infection. Also the longer you wear a mask surgical or cloth the less effective it becomes. So removing it wh...

Other versions of the announcement that I've seen, just say Thailand Elite Card holders, which makes more sense.
I take it you did not read the posts either side of the one you quoted.

The most current statement I can find. The relaxation will cover migrant workers in the construction business and food export industry, foreign visitors who co-organise trade exhibitions, foreign visitors in film production crews, and foreign travellers who are members of the Thailand Elite Card sch...

Re: Flying into Thailand, latest updates

They mean the Thailand Elite card. It gives 5 and 10 year long stay Visa privileges for a price.
No working allowed.

Re: GM to withdraw from Thailand this year

Hi All
Just a thought, Thailand has a free trade agreement of sorts with China, and GM sell more cars there than in the US with over 20 plants. There may be some room for movement within that agreement.

Re: Confused about VISA (like many others)

Hi
You could just get a 60 day Tourist Visa in your home country and then if you wish to you could then extent that by 30 for 1900 baht when in country. That would give you the requisite time.

Re: Problem ringing the UK today

Hi All
Called my family in UK yesterday same problem with instant engaged tone.
Used whatsapp and no problem.
My family checked their line with another family member in the UK and no problems.
Judging by the speed of the engaged tone cutting in I would say a problem on the Thai side.
Regards.

The difference being it is optional you do not have to pay it. So no not...

We have eaten at the Royal indian before and it is to my taste. Also there were two Indian families in there staying at the Centara and we had a chat and they ate there several times and obviously enjoyed it.
