I drink coffee with a guy who left in March he was supposed to be gone a month he is still in Boston. Based on his Line message he has tried a number of times he said the list is long and confusing to follow? He went to the airport mid-November and got turn back next line message said it will be Christmas after he gets his shot? You get the idea here?
3rd hand, again guy not the sharpest tool in the shed? He has a Thai wife only speaks English, started in late July still not here. They contacted the Thai Embassy in L. A. Never got a reply finally they got lead to the right track contact an Embassy back East coast. Said much of the information was confusing one day it was this next something else and she was talking to a Thai representative on the phone in Thai. She for whatever reason booked a flight on Eva her normal airline of choice for Dec 5th, in the end, the Embassy contacted her and said you can only go on this airline which is Korean with a long layover and they have scheduled her for Dec 23rd so I will know then?
Today, at my brother's house he lives in a project a Thai ladies run the complex speak great English married to a German goes back and forth she has been gone since May? She has been out of quarantine for 5 days once I heard I put my mask on she startd to laugh. She said even for a Thai national she went through hell to get back said the list is extension and confusing even for her charge her a arm and a leg for testing and quarantine. She said " don't leave "!

Planes from Amsterdam, Tokyo, HK, Manila, Indonesia, some other places. Maybe if you refresh the link, other flights will show up.
Many cancelled flights, I imagine. Guess you might have to develop some social skills in these asocial times. Thailand and similar places are off the menu until at least summer 2021. Mongers wanting to shoot their load are not a priority.

I agree with your comment even if you check all the boxes applying does not mean getting. It seems some embassies in the same way some immigration offices here treat applications differently.
Overall I guess extending the STV to all countries is a step in the right direction and we will have to wait and see how a certificate of vaccination might change requirements such as cutting out the $100,000 insurance.

Let's be clear that APPLY does not mean ACCEPTED.
Why not let everyone apply? Doesn't hurt Thailand at all. Who gets in will be another story. Leave your yacht at home guys. Only 6 boats are allowed to enter Thailand, including yachts.
14 day quarantine is no big deal. Aren't many of us basically under a 14 day quarantine in our home country anyways? Personally I'd rather get a reward at the end of my 14 day quarantine than the semi lockdown I have in my home country for the foreseeable future.
Let's say you are accepted for a STV. Has anyone from France/Belgium or the USA looked in to what current flight options there are to fly to Bangkok?
Has anyone here actually applied for any type of Visa for Thailand since COVID began?

Very few people will agree to 14 day quarantine. The other requirements are reasonable, but pains in the ass. Being open to all nations will help, but not enough to restart the tourist economy.
I would agree to do a 2 or 3 days quarantine. No more than that.
Last night a friend of mine in Chiang Mai told me that COVID is starting to spread in Thailand. I asked how many and she said 19. I dont know if that is daily cases or total active, maybe Chiang Mai, maybe all of Thailand. In any case it is more than it had been and can’t be ignored.

I continued reading, oh oh yes it broadens the STV from the original list of 24 for all countries but does nothing to ease the requirements for the visa itself.
Now the old list included among others China, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, Finland and Norway which one might imagine had enough population to attract a reasonable number of visitors. How many came. Total 825.
So with the conditions to obtain and comply with the terms of the visa unchanged what makes them think there will now be tens or hundreds of thousands arriving from the countries added to the list.
What am I not getting?

Seems STV will be available in any countries.

Posts: 6328I remember seeing horror stories in Thai news of people sleeping with their phone beside their head while it's being charged, then the phone explodes or catches fire killing the victim. This was not a one time incident. I never charge my phone in a 220V socket and leave it near me.
I bought an extra battery at Tukcom. Charged it a couple times and it was fine. Then one time it was super hot. Threw the battery away. Buy OEM guys.

In any case, if your cell phone gets hot while charging, unplug it and investigate the problem without holding it to your face.

It is only natural to feel real bad about what happened to your friend. But you are not guilty of anything. In fact you stood tall and helped the family out in their time of real need. The guilty people are management of the company that manufactures & sells such dangerous products. You can bet your last baht that this was not the first time their product malfunctioned, exploded and hurt someone.
I have a long time American female friend that was a front seat passenger in an auto accident. Some asshole ran a stop sign and plowed into her side of the vehicle she was riding in. She suffered internal injuries. After 3 operations she is still not completely well. Shit happens to good people!
I hope your friend fully recovers.
