As my posts are subject to review by admin so don't appear for about a day after I send. I imagine this will already have appeared on the forum but on the off chance it hasn't.

According to a document published in the Royal Gazette, the Immigration law for Section 12 (4) and Section 44 (2) is being changed to include the need for the foreigners to have a #COVID19 test done in order to stay in Thailand. I imagine this will have to how negative to get the extension. Details as usual are unclear but worth keeping in mind when renewals are coming up.

The golf resort will not be cheap. Think about you staying, eating, and playing golf at your local golf resort for 2 weeks. Green fee should be around 3000 baht per day and a lot more for accommodations and food. My conservative guess will be 100-150k for your quarantine depending on the course and accommodations.

On top of that Thailand is now charging a new 300 baht fee for every tourist that enters Thailand.

Not yet, project was approved but now they have to work with the Golfs to set the ASQ rules and regulations.

Yesterday Governor of Kanchanaburi has issued a statement to close hotels, some other provinces may follow.

Bangkok, 13 January, 2021 The Ministry of Public Health's Emergency Operation Centre (EOC) for COVID-19 recently announced a list of government-approved golf resorts to allow foreign golfers with advance arrangements for golfing in Thailand an opportunity to undergo a golf quarantine as an alternative local state quarantine option.

Foreign golfers wishing to visit Thailand during this time will be allowed to spend their two-week quarantine period at any of the six certified golf resorts and move around in the resort environment and also play golf, rather than just having to isolate in their rooms..

This Thai guide (nice boobs) updates us on vaccine situation in The Land of Smiles (and pert boobs).

She is well worth listening to about the vaccine. Nice boobs too.

I saw the video a few days ago it got me interested but once she started with the love for? I moved on.

Its more likely they can't afford to top up their sim as large numbers of sims have lapsed due to no top ups as they're broke.

No, this is not accurate information. Not installing the app is not a criminal offense. Not checking-in and checking-out (and therefore concealing your whereabouts) is.

"Contact tracing applications are now compulsory for people living in Thailand and those who do not use them and later test positive for COVID-19 could face legal action. " Source Thai Visa.

edit - my post was referring to an article posted yesterday. Your post is updated today after the Thai government realized that not every old person has a smart phone. Tomorrow we can expect another change after angry Thai people take to Facebook about the government knowing their whereabouts at all times. TIT.

For those of you living in Thailand, effective immediately you must download the Contact Tracing app. This is mandatory for everyone, including Thai. Legal action will be taken if you are not using the App and later test positive to COVID.

Not everyone in all of Thailand owns a smart phone so does that mean a Thai farmer in his 70's in Buriram who tests positive for COVID will be sued for not using the App. I can also see people who were not using the App to refuse to voluntarily take a COVID test even if they have COVID symptoms.

For sure you will need a mask for a long time until things become clearer.

I wear a mask, a face shield, and a gaiter. I'm pretty fly for a white guy.

Even when you have had a jab there is no idea how long it will last, it may fade after 3 months and you need another booster, or it won't work on the south African strain. For sure you will need a mask for a long time until things become clearer.

Not surprised! Cross your finger today in the news Thailand signed a contract with the Chinese their vaccine (Sino?) 200,000 coming in January and to be distributed in Feb also to produce their vaccine in Thailand. I don't plan to be first in line for sure.

[Franciscass]

Being Vaccinated does not mean anything at the moment, it's not proven to work. Give it a few months, things may change. It's too early to speculate about 2021.

Actually Nic not sure why you say that. Are you dismissing the data that depending on which vaccine you are talking about you will have up to 95% immunization against becoming sick from the virus.
