do you use a car mechanic? Although there are manuals for almost everything. Or do you use craftsmen in your house even though most can be done by yourself?

Apply for a tourist visum 60 days. It is electronic I think and answer is quite fast. She needs a pile of documents like passport, vaccination, tickets and where to stay. But it is not too difficult. You find the page on Thai embassys addresses. You obtain a paper to bring to immigration. No visum stamp in the passport.

When you come you can the prolong 30 more days.

exactly! 1000 cancelled flights to/from Frankfurt and Munich! Strike in ground personell!

Many I know pay in this range. It is not ridiculous. Of course some people say it is possible to do yourself. But it is your choice if you prefer to use an agent.

please go on!

I see empty hotels, closed restaurants en masse, empty beaches, empty airports. Lines of people waiting for food packages was a frequent sight.....shall I go on!

@Nick ***************

you have to stop thinking that covid makes money for Thailand. Ridiculous! Maybe for mask vendors. But not for the tourist industry or entertainment sectors.

@Steve *********

not correct at all, there is much money to gain. Wine is much much cheaper in Europe for equal quality. Strong liquor likewise in particular if bought tax free.

I am in Sweden and a professional biochemist....there are plenty of waiting steps in the procedure. On Wednesday I take my own for my return to Thailand. That is guaranted within 20 hours. But as you say, the instruments get more sensitive and the procedures slicker with time. But my own laboratories had plenty of RT-PCR instruments for scientific use.

@Jeremy *******

RT-PCR. I doubt this short time. How can they accomplish that?

@Tony ******

according to the official numbers 99.92% of the arrivals in Test and Go test negative. This does not fit with your statement of "many others". Bad luck for your daughter though.
