Looks like the shortage is pretty much Australia wide then, so probably the same in Canada

I just asked a friend in Melbourne - she has been trying to buy masks there & they are just not available. Bear in mind that if you are going to Oz, you will be staying in quarantine for 14 days in a hotel room with no opening windows and food delivered (all paid for by the government), so you won't need too many masks at least for the first two weeks. And yes, the limit for taking out of the Land of Smiles is 30. :)

I'm not sure it means anything about any specific public transport except, as stated in the article, that all public transport in the four Southern provinces - Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat and Phuket will be closed. It is probably a good indication that the rest of the country will soon implement similar restrictions though.

Yesterday I got the normal one year extension on my retirement visa at Sri Racha immigration - nothing has changed. This doesn’t mean that things won’t change if the situation worsens, so my advice is to get it done as soon as you can.

@Tod ********

Henri is right - he should be personally credited with keeping the wheels of the Thai economy turning and shouldn’t have to comply with regulations. It is obviously you who is the arrogant one.

I'm sure it'll solve the problem and get things done much more quickly if you tell them they should be thanking you for the fact that they have a job.

If it’s equivalent to one month’s rent and you haven’t yet paid your last month...........

If you are going to Malaysia, I suggest you look at going to Penang as an alternative to KL. I have always used Penang for my visas in the past without any hassles at all, as have many friends. I have heard that KL can be difficult sometimes. Details of requirements for various visas are listed on their website.

The other consulate which is worth considering is Penang. Usually hassle free there and no appointment required.
