Can you quarantine in your own apartment if you own property in Thailand?

At least Garrett's comment was funny and then he answered politely. The rest are simply nasty. There's simply no point in it. Mogens' comment telling someone else that the question was not a good one was particularly unnecessary. Obviously, some people didn't get this supposedly "daily" post.

and that's a reason to be rude rather than simply answering and moving on? You see how Elisa handled it? A simple answer and that's it. Why is rudeness necessary? Does it make everyone else feel superior? Did improve your day?

then say that, although even then, the information is confusing. I've also been in this group throughout the pandemic and I have not seen this particular question posted. Perhaps it has been but certainly not daily. There's certainly no reason for being rude

Why is there so much negativity towards expats seeking help with visa issues in Thailand?

and how about, "because the attacks were in the group. Both the attacks and the other victims were in the group.". There's nothing wrong with Scott's post. I didn't feel attacked. If you did, maybe you need to look at why.
