TLDR : Answer Summary
The comments express frustration and concern over the lack of updates regarding visa amnesty for foreigners in Thailand amid the COVID-19 crisis. There are complaints about the slow processing of visas, especially for those who are vulnerable, such as elderly and disabled foreigners. The overall sentiment emphasizes a feeling of neglect by immigration authorities, highlighting the potential long-term impacts on Thailand's tourism industry.

Rest assured, we will not forget how we have been treated during this crisis. Thailand's tourism industry is going to have a tough time shaking the shit off this time.

Truly unbelievable, it's given fact that there are thousands and more of foreigners in Bangkok and surrounding city. Why and yet they have to close some offices due to large foreigners waiting to be processed to make things updated, legal and avoid fines. Instead of adding more IO to process they're working at their own pace than accelerating, some foreigners are retired seniors or have disabilities and would truly be at disadvantage plus the virus. Praying that the dept. of immigration be aware and empathize with the foreigners situation. It's a revenue for the country.

no traffic, police exposed as money collectors for helmet violation. Emergency Decree? Headless Chickens . Enter a bar and impose a fine for a passport no show. Emergency Decree, law abiding people respecting law and order can not enter a local station and report their situation. A wasted resource!
