No. After the first 30 day extension you had to leave the country and return.

I'm from the UK and have health insurance through Cigna International. SafetyWing also provides travel insurance (although they will want to ship you back to the UK asap in case of medical emergencies, same as World Nomads). Both can be started when abroad.

What a patronising attitude towards Thai people

@Rick ******

I wasn't stating my opinion or inviting your commentary on whether it was - in your opinion - the 'right track' or not. I was merely pointing out what the author (who BTW is NOT the WHO as the title implies but merely someone who contributes to them) said.

Actually it's about both but primarily closed borders: "Dr Nabarro’s main criticism of lockdowns involved the global impact, explaining how poorer economies that had been indirectly affected.

“Just look at what’s happened to the tourism industry in the Caribbean, for example, or in the Pacific because people aren’t taking their holidays,” he said".

Jeez.

@Bim ******

OMG. But some people with Elite ARE getting in. It is possible

Bim Smith Well I know more than one, so don't go by your own experiences alone.

Bim Smith But my friend with a Thail Elite visa is in the country, so it's inaccurate to say 'Elite visa holders are put on hold'. Some ARE arriving in Thailand.
