Posts: 53New Government Restrictions- Airline Connections
List of countries and territories at high risk of the Covid-19 infection: Japan, Germany, South Korea, China (including Hong Kong and Macau), Taiwan, France, Singapore, Italy, and Iran.
After seeing the above information, I wonder how this may or may not affect Airline Connections coming into BKK. Coming from US West Coast I go thru Taiwan on Eva, will this cause the required quarantine and 14 day health checks?

Posts: 6304Pretty important post if you are from one of the following countries
List of countries and territories at high risk of the Covid-19 infection: Japan, Germany, South Korea, China (including Hong Kong and Macau), Taiwan, France, Singapore, Italy, and Iran.
All returnees from these nations and territories must self-quarantine for 14 days, he said.
Ministerial announcements specify the following four measures for enforcement:
Visitors and Thai citizens returning from the high risk areas will be subject to 14-days home quarantine, even if they are cleared of the disease, unless they have permission from health officials.
Those who do not have a permanent residence or lodging in Thailand are required to show officials, upon arrival, evidence of where officials can locate them during the 14-day period.
Tourists will be required to show where they will be staying for 14 days after arrival. That would mean you will need to book your hotel for 14 days and not book an AirBNB since AirBNB is illegal in Thailand. If you really must use AirBNB in Thailand which I don't, you can book a hotel which has free cancellation, show Thai Immigration you are staying there, and then cancel your hotel. You do take the chance that somehow Thai immigration finds out you are not staying where you said you were and deports you with no return for 5 years on your record. Remember hotels are required to tell Thai Immigration when you check in and check out of their hotel. Imo best to be safe and stay in a hotel your next visit.
These new rules will affect myself since I was planning to do a FKK tour in Germany on my way to Bangkok. Now to get to Bangkok I will have to fly Germany to Jakarta, hobby in Jakarta for a week, then to Bangkok. Since Indonesia does not record the number of coronavirus cases it is a safe destination that will not be subject to the newly imposed Thailand quarantine. Vietnam, Philippines, and Cambodia appear to not report all their cases as well so those would be other options to fly in from. I'll predict that the USA will eventually make it on a Thailand quarantine list with their recent outbreak.

Posts: 6Smooci Payment
Hey lads,
Do you know if it is possible to get a prepaid debit or similar in Thailand to spring for a Smooci Premium membership? I'm heading to Thailand in a couple days and want to get a membership (can't actually sign up for premium until I have a phone over there), but I don't want to pay with my regular debit or credit cards.
If anyone can offer me advice on how to sign up without using my real cards, I'd appreciate it.

Now go to Windy.com twitter feed:

They are the forcasting company who's images have been wrongly interpreted for what they are not. And they actually link themselves to the article I quoted.
You can also look at the english fact checking NGO:
https://fullfact.org/health/satellit...e-coronavirus/
There is even someone from the NASA explaining how the forecasting model works and how its not based on live data.
Stop taking us for idiots by spamming false news here. Not even sure how its related to Bangkok General reports to start with.

Posts: 4Postponing plans
Last time I had visited Pattaya was on December'19.
And was completely looking forward to trip again in Feb next week.
However, I postponed my plans in Jan due to cornonavirus situation and thought by March timeline, it would be contained.
Damn virus is still at large, and I guess I will again be rescheduling my trip to April first week.
However, I'm still not sure whether by Apr timeline the virus would be contained.
I believe more in mathematical models of cornovirus than Thai government words and it says the number of infected people to be much higher than the reported 33 people.
In Thailand is the second most vulnerable country next to China with regards to coronavirus infections.
Maybe I should just postpone the Thai trip indefinitely and head over PP / Jarkarta.

Since I hit a nerve with you and whom ever you are fronting for (Xinhua?), I believe my statements must be closer to the truth than yours.

People like you spreading lies to worry others is an illness which affects this planet far worse than this virus.
