Depends how you define a scam? You get what you pay for but obviously it is a greyzone. Also 20,000 doesnβt sound like much considering that Quarantine alone will cost you 60,000+? once you can come back.
We called Rayong Immigration today, they are as clueless as everyone else. They also assume it will be extended (due to cabinet announcement) but of course need to wait for Royal Gazette π
Yup, millions unemployed, awful situation. I am getting the feeling that the government is intending to mainly cater to the wealthy Asian tourists that could not care less about a silly 60-90,000 baht quarantine.
Doubt it honestly. Thai people are scared shitless because of this virus. Then again, even a full opening would be a joke because tourists are forced to pay for a 2 week minimum 60,000-90,000 baht quarantine stay .. that puts off the majority of Western visitors
You can get 1x normal 30 day extension and the emergency 30 days with embassy letter (BKK German embassy gives them out). I arrived a few days after you from Germany and I will get my extension in a few weeks. Now the immigration places are too crowded
