Prayut doesn't sound like he's in a lockdown mood, which is good.

Hi ! Does anyone know if Chaeng Wattana open like normal next week during this "lockdown" ? ** Tuesday onwards

Not trying to be negative. But I have finally realized that although Thailand is in my heart, it just ain't worth it. Instead, I have finally come to my senses and will go to Columbia for 2 months to wait out Thai lockdowns....then I'll come.

ATTN: PHUKET LOVERS! I LEFT OUT THIS DETAIL IN MY ORIGINAL POST: My biggest concern is completing my ASQ in BKK, but then not be allowed to enter Phuket. Which is a problem because to me Thailand = Phuket. I'm not a Bangkok dude at all.

I tried very hard to make my move in Jan. '19, but when I realized that Columbia requires a PCR test with no quarantine & no complicated visa. What really pushed me over was that Columbia is alive: there is still lots of nightlife and lots of people on beaches.

So, if you have a girlfriend or a business then go to Thailand. For the rest of us, I think its too early &, like I said, not worth it.

I sincerely thank the admins of this excellent group along with people who gave me advice that I need to get my insurance, book my ASQ, etc.

See y'all in early April & remember: NYC has proven Lockdowns don't work.

Some may find this ridiculous but,just watched a report on tv of my LONDON ,filmed today Friday 24 April 2020 during rush hour, normally the roads and pavements would be heaving with people going to work,taxis and buses cars and bikes....but is was dead quiet , nobody about, it put a lump in my throat and I felt quite sad and almost tearful....maybe I’m getting old and stupid..
