  1. Because it is off topic and a distraction!
  2. It is what the BofE is doing, tied in with the predictions of how the UK Economy will fall more than that ot the other developed nations.
  3. All a bit scruffy and unkempt at the beginning, Brentford I guess.
  4. Curse of the Pink Panther
  5. International passengers arriving go into quarantine, and there are not really any scheduled flights out except domestic, would there be many domestic to domestic transfers?
  6. Just to add to the celebrations, Liverpool are currently the holders of 4 major trophies. The Premiership. The Champions League. UEFA Super Cup FIFA Club World Cup. I think that is right... pretty impressive.
  7. Kinda wondering shuttling who?
  8. More accurately 'not so much in the USA'.......I was amazed by what it meant to Brazilians!
  9. Congratulations to Liverpool. Chelsea beat Man City at Stamford Bridge and Liverpool take the Premiership. Liverpool are crowned Premier League champions https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2020/jun/25/liverpool-win-the-premier-league-title-live-reaction
  10. As far as I know, althouh those with permanent residency, Thai family or work permits are allowed too.They have to get some permit from the Thai Embassy and some medical certification and maybe some insurance and will have 2 weeks of quarantine at their own expense.... pretty onerous.
  11. There are Middle East carriers flying so I expect a transit in Dubai is possible.
  12. There are repatriation flights coming into Thailand but limited to 200-300 passengers a day, probably as many as their quarantine facilities will permit. It is rumoured that some foreigners may be allowed to enter at the next easing of restrictions... those with Perm Residency, Work Permits and Thai families, but one really has to wait for it to be announced. I expect those will certainly have 2 weeks of quarantine too.
  13. And if I book a flight from Bangkok to Bali Thai airways are expected to ask the UK governement how many pages I have left in my passport?
  14. Would have buying a premium cabin to start with have worked out better? I was originally concerned that discounted tickets would not qualify or there would be other restrictions, but none are apparent. But I have always been suspicious of such offers, like buying airmiles off the carrier.... as Bigus says, cash is king usually.
  15. Be aware that this is simply Etihad creating it's own currency.....you cannot get your money refunded, it can only be spent with them, and it is only valid for 2 years. The good thing is, apparently it can be used on promotional deals. I doubt they will offer change, so you may find yourself buying superflous extras to avail it before expiry.
  16. The end of this week..... Effectively only 9 days earlier than planned though..... Seems premature although if what Bazle posted is true, a far different case. There is still a threat in this virus.
  17. Don't get me started... I try to lighten the mood over there on TV with a wise crack and it is deleted in seconds and a Mod will make a post calling me a troll! I get more posts deleted over there in a week than I delete in a year on here. Mods don't have the power to re-organise the Forums and Sub Forums, we can move posts between them, but I am rather amused by people claiming there is no information in the Hotels Forum, when often one gets posts about guns and Politics in there. Don't be overly worried about the odd 'conversation,' we let them ride, but ultimately they get so far off topic..... here is an idea, start a new topic yourself in a suitable section. Nightmarch used to be a great regular poster, by Duncan Stern, as per Monkeywatch nowadays. I notice the previous post is discussing Thai tones and eels...... don't worry Bullfrog, I won't remove it,!?
  18. It seems to be the factor commonplace in life these days and I see too much of it watching UK media... how quickly they forget the dead and dying.
  19. And this morning I got an email about their pending bankruptcy, no sorry, business reorganisation.......
  20. Harvey Keitel
  21. You have set your location as UK.....
  22. Personally I hope they give it a little longer, seems like Thailand finds some infected people in their quarantine daily. I would have thought people would need to get back to work after returning to the UK.
  23. So quiet and social distancing in Big-CX. I believe this used to be an 'Erotic Massage' place on Soi Buakhao, perhaps recently mentioned by @tallguy it is no more. Also Nemo's on Buakhao still shut, didn't think to check the one on Soi Diana. Nearby traditional places open. The rate on the street today, a TT Exchange is open! Hellfire crossing, with many fewer casualties these days. Soi Pothole looking quiet to the East...... And the West.... A few minutes earlier I was told 'no customer, no have money, hungry......' Not sure if I covered this with my tip....... I would have got more pics but rain drove me to the Mall.
  24. Here is an archived thread on Thai Visa on this topic... https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1003931-used-car-transfer-registration/ Beware, it is a few years old and I believe that you can have out of province plates now. It is over a decade since I bought a car, and then I did have to transfer it from Bangkok plates to Chonburi plates, which required trips to Chonburi City. I suspect it can all be done in Pattaya now... if it is open currently.
  25. This measure would have been better employed some months back.....
