Hi all, I am in Thailand on an extended visa that as of recent news will now expire on the 30th April. I am living with my extended family and have received so many mixed messages on what is the right thing to do in my situation. My previous plans were to travel to France before my visa expires and live with my partner. I have had conflicting advice on whether to stay here with my family until they re-open the border or go home which as we all know will be a huge mission. I am in no financial position right now to be able to afford a flight home and am concerned about the cancellations as well as the 2 weeks forced government quarantine. I am also afraid that if I overstay my welcome in Thailand and they don't extend my Visa I will be fined or prosecuted.
If anyone has some advice I would greatly appreciate it, I'm sure there are a few of us in similar situations. Thank you
