Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

It shouldn't be ignored, but whereas we can hopefully see a cure to this short term global medical pandemic I cannot see any long term hope of a cure for the causes of road deaths in Thailand. I think the comparisons are ridiculous since they are not in any way remotely connected.
How about reducing the speed limits and making sure cars cannot go any faster than that with limiters installed, see the accident rates fall. The comparison is the government response to both
As a foreigner I’ve seen many Thais getting their driving or riding licenses buy illegal paying for it without lessons nor tests resulting in many on the road without experiences

want stop road accidents? as more than 74%+ involve motorcycles, its really very easy to accomplish>
just like in normal western countries police do their jobs, not just sit at areas to catch people.

all kids without licensees are fined 500 baht
2nd stop confiscate the motorbike and dad has to visit the police station to reclaim it and also pay 2,000- baht
3 time, hold the bike for 1 month and a 3,000 baht fine

same goes for all those that cant produce a license.

1/2 the fine goes to the cop writing the ticket.

Yea dream on LOL

Good to see there is one rule for all now. Not one for Africans and another one for Non- Africans as before. :plus1:

it was NEVER for Africans vs non Africans
'it was traveler's that had recently been in those countries
i corrected you before about this.
"Travellers from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Botswana, Zambia, Kenya, Rwanda, Cameroon, DR Congo, and Ghana will have to spend the full 14 days in Thai quarantine.
Gong to be lots of cancellations rolling in from people who thought they would get by with 7 days locked up

So after you do your 14 days quarantine (without alcohol) in Thailand, you get out, and the restaurants and bars are shut anyway.

Covid Holidays in Thailand ! It sounds appetising, but why would you do this ? Better go to Torquay, even if the weather is shit and the beer more expensive.
(Cambodia will be a better destination than Thailand, IF the lockdown is lifted as said for the 5 May.)

2nd Shot: 744

Overall Total: 1,486,907

ONLY 64 million PLUS expats and migrants ( both legal and illegal) to go
