Getting better already: since today there is a statement on the webpage of the Thai consulate in Hamburg that no financial proof is required for the tourist visa anymore.

Why madness? Madness would be giving away the tourist visa without restrictions. Consulates couldn't handle the applications, quarantien hotels would not be availalbe. They are opening step by step and picking now people with money to spend. What would you do instead? Letting everybody in and run around on an exempt stamp and a covid test? This will come sooner or later, but not now.

Now Covid test mandatory from 17th August on.

If true, this is an announcement from Penang consulate. So if you apply for a visa at that consulate, you will need a health certificate.

It is not the doc. The guy in the pic is wearing the mask bottom to top

While Ao Khai is our favorite spot it had become quite busy with famllies, mainly from Scandianavia. Laem Mae Phim has plenty of restaurants, but most were dead. A handful were doing a decent trade. There are several places that are empty, for sale or already falling apart. Still it looks better than Mae Ram Phueng, where many ghost houses and garbage can be seen along the beach road. Doesn't look like a place where someone wants to spend their holidays. 2 or 3 nights are more than enough. There is not much to do, so life gets boring fast. The good thing about this area is, the
