News Forum - Outdoor mask mandate to be ditched in Indonesia as infections continue to fall
The cultural attitude to wearing a mask by choice has been around for a very long time as noted in this article. Well before current mask mandates and Covid-19 existed. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/culture-shocked/202005/why-was-mask-wearing-popular-in-asia-even-covid-19 What has equally been around for a long time is the seemingly need for some to display their prejudices and unnecessarily label what people do through a level of ignorance.- 1

News Forum - Foreigner claims Bangkok taxi driver overcharged on a Thai holy day
The news is that nowadays incidents like this can quickly go viral and also that traditional news outlets more and more try to get a slice of all that attention as well. The publicity is huge and moreover, specific. Until not long ago, the many con men merely caused an entry in the top-10 list of "things to be wary of" (collectively and anonymously). Now, an individual con man may hear from his kids that some people in their school and thousands of other people are discussing him. #nameandshame, #metoo, #hashtag. -

News Forum - Outdoor mask mandate to be ditched in Indonesia as infections continue to fall
Any public health restriction should have benefits that outweigh the costs. Mass masking does not provide enough benefit anymore which is why almost every country in the world as dropped it. Thailand must be one of a rapidly dwindling handful of countries still mandating masks outside, and maybe the only one where TV presenters are wearing them. It's toxic to the psychological well being of Thais as well as significant economic and social damage, and to tourism. It needs to end now, time to move on. -

Non-Immigrant O Visa Health Insurance
Some discrepancies in the requirements. On the Official Website of Thailand Electronic Visa (thaievisa.go.th) the Non O based on retirement isn't even listed, but ........ it is available from the Thai Embassy London. Can you give a direct link to the above? For a Thai Insurer, you need to go through TGIA. https://longstay.tgia.org/companiesstv Although the Non O isn't listed, the STV offers the same 90-day cover. You contact the company of your choice for a quote. LMG always used to be the cheapest. -

Retirement Visa by the 65K method
With regards to the 65k method, how long do the funds transferred in from abroad need to stay in the bank account? My impression, which may be totally wrong, is that you can use the funds immediately... This seems to be a way to avoid parking a large sum in a Thai bank account as is required for the 800k method.
