Wow!...I wonder why people stay in Thailand at all...it"s obviously not for happiness... by what I read on here?

I would have thought that the COE, Insurance, Covid test, Quarentine (for those vaccinated) etc , would no longer be required once things get back to normal, hopefully by October or November...???

Thank you Tod...I understand that...that is why I made sure to leave my 800,000 Bt. in the bank to always have it at the ready. PS...I understand your point about terminology, that is for sure a good thing to correct...but not to spend so much effort and time on correcting it.. while forgetting the main purpose of the post , and devoting far less time and effort to actually answering the question ?

You're welcome...safe travelling. GB.

Thank you for pointing that out Andy. What is wrong with people on here, getting caught up with stuff that has nothing to do with the actual main question. Myself, I will be returning to Thailand from one of the Visa Exempt countries (Ireland) and then renew my Retirement Ext. after I get there (which expired while I got stuck here due to Covid) However, I will not buy a "return" ticket, I will buy an "ongoing" cheap ticket to a nearby country, to cover me in case I am asked to produce one. I'll date it to be leaving Thailand within 60 days of my arrival there.

Dawson I was a taxi driver for 28 years in Ireland...retired 24 years now...when I was last working it was 40 cent for every piece of luggage that was carried in the trunk/boot. I have been in many other countries in Europe and I was aware of this charge...In my time the "fare" (passenger) would not have even noticed or have been aware that they were been charged this fee if I had not pointed it out to them.
