Looks like the Thai officials are willing to help out those in that situation. Thai tourism minister plans help for tourists stranded and worried about overstaying visas Minister Phiphat told the Bangkok Post that he is going to discuss the matter with the Interior Ministry and Immigration Bureau. He says he plans to seek a temporary reprieve for these tourists as well as visa extensions for those whose countries have been affected. He will also ask the authorities not to blacklist overstayers. Edited to add: Just saw this posted on PA. Already tales of woe coming in with respect to visa extensions, with overstay fines being applied (Phuket) and 7 days being given to leave the country (Jomtien). Although I suspect there's more to these individual cases than meets the eye, you can't help think that the situation won't be handled well.

Krapow Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Have a Tesco delivery coming at between 9 and 10. I ordered £79 worth, though just checked my Bank app and the 'pending' payment to Tesco's shows £41, just over half ffs, so loads currently unavailable.

You are allowed to go for a walk on you own providing you keep a safe distance from other people. You are only allowed to walk with others in a small group, if they are immediate members of your household. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure anyone knows exactly what the rules are. For instance, the government say that you can have one walk or period of exercise per day outside of your home, providing you stay away from other people. Not sure how they will police that! Watching Newsnight on the TV at the moment and the discussion is “are building workers essential workers” as most building sites are still open. lots of ambiguity in the statements and rules from government at the moment. 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chose to self isolate from the time I returned, if you have no symptoms you are allowed to take a walk every day as long as you are on your own. Where I live it is very quiet and I can wander off for miles into remote tracks and fields etc. The odd person that I met yesterday were very appreciative when I crossed the road way before meeting them. Obviously if you develope symptoms then you are going to be house bound. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the normal amount of yeast to flour, but I suspect I doubled the sugar by accident, so the yeast had a field day feeding on it. Still tasted great toasted this morning for breakfast. 🤗 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously if you develope symptoms then you are going to be house bound. I'm the same, within reason. I'm keeping away from the vulnerable, and getting friends to do shopping for me. However, as I understand it, if you've returned you carry on as the general population unless you show symptoms. 22 hours ago, Krapow said: Have a Tesco delivery coming at between 9 and 10.

I've just had a Tesco order delivered, organised whilst away. I ordered £80 worth, but when I checked last night over half the items were unavailable. I changed the order, but still some has not been delivered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelers4Life Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 While taking my morning walk on the wooded trail near my condo I stumbled upon these beasts. They were obviously not frightened in the least. I think they must find comfort in humans that are not carrying a rifle. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
