I feel that this new visa will flounder. It really does little more than some of the others can cover and requires a financial requirement that will put folks off as it will make no sense from a financial perspective. But as this is Thailand... we will have to see what will actually happen and.

maybe they are going the 65k route. That can be complicating between bank vs immigration's discretion. Agents can help smooth things along.

that is IF the official doesn't have their own rules. They have full discretion.

Self isolate for 5 days. Retake ATK every other day is recommended. If negative after 5 days... then isolation is over but you must wear a mask for a further 5 days is the recommendation. If still negative repeat isolation and seek medical attention. Certainly seek medical attention if systems get worse and/or you run a fever and/or shortness of breath.

Never done it. And no one gives a hoot. I have asked my local immigration office and they simply say no problem as they know where I live and have done so for years. Besides hotels will... or rather are supposed to... report the foreign guests.

thank you for the lecture... however you gave failed to see understand the ramifications of implementing a policy that even the hotel association rejects. Racism it isn't... by definition. But bigotry would be a better term. However stupid would be even better

Income differences exist everywhere but what you suggest is that we should feel sorry for being able to afford this or that. As for the US... that has been policy for decades now. Same with the UK and EU with slight differences. Dual pricing is simply a public relationship nightmare. If Thailand wants to recover their tourist industry that equates to some say 25% of their GDP then be fair about it... or scam the tourists out of their money which is what dual pricing is... a scam. Not a good look or enticement for foreigner travelers. Racist? No. Stupid? Yes.
