  1. I think it is more dangerous doing that, just like roundabouts, if we follow what we practice in the West it just confuses the locals here. They do not know what you are doing.
  2. Go on FB marketplace and look under property to rent, you can select the town and area. Also most towns have a FB page for houses to rent though it will be in Thai, the other option is to find an expats FB page for Phitsanulok or Phrae
  3. stop buying from Amazon, simple choice. It comes down to do we want to buy in the shop or online via Ebay or Amazon and get better prices? Here we are with a pandemic that started in China, the amazing thing is the PCR and flow test kits we all use come from China, most of the safety equipment comes from China, it is a crazy world we live in.
  4. Why not try another Bank? Kasikorn Bank is very good. Had a problem changing money in Bangkok Bank a few years ago, teller siad no to changing £1,000 I said they are a bank, and they advertise on the door that they exchange money, they asked if I had a BB account which I did, they asked if I will be depositing the money in the account, I said no. Cut a long story short they changed the money in the end when I asked for the tellers name and said I would be reporting this to the head office in BKK as the bank is there to make money which pays the tellers salary. They were not happy but they changed the money.
  5. What to belive? Omicron wave appears milder The wave of Omicron appears to be milder according to preliminary studies published in the UK and South Africa. Read on BBC news,
  6. You are shocked with the 200 baht fine? I am shocked that he was actually working and doing his job! To be honest I would love it if the BIB all did their job and enforced the law on the roads, the amount of money the goverment would make would cover the cost of covid in a week (joke) and hopefully the roads would be safer. I also think they need to increase the fines, speeding is 500 baht (have had three speeding fines for doing around 100klm when the speed limit is 90) and the only way people take note of the law is if you hit them in the wallet
  7. Very well said. I do respect Australia for their stand against China though it has cost Australia but I feel more countrys need to stand up to the Bully, also I think everyone would be in a better position if they officially recognise Taiwan as being an independant country but now so many have given in to China thinking it would make things easier for them but now they are finding it is not the case. Do not get me wrong, I do know the USA is a bully as well and has a very bad track record, yet there is more freedom
  8. relax, go to security, normally found at the exit or entrance or better still go to the info counter and complain. You will always get these people who will not wear masks or half wear them
  9. You may be able to understand the official policy once you find it, but it comes down to how the official at the time interprets the official policy. Best to talk with the airline you will be traveling with and keep up to date with the ever-changing policies/guidelines from the government. Good luck.
  10. My Thai wife paid for two jabs 3,300 baht in August and still waiting for the vaccine to arrive (though has now had a Pfizer jab from the state about a week ago. My point is what happens about a refund? Hospitals have said no refund, so are we to forget about the money along with thousands of other Thai people who have paid? To have the goverment say "ditch your Moderna" is an insult https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2220447/ditch-your-moderna-order-get-pfizer-from-state-anutin
  11. What about Coca Cola. they refuse to give their secret ingredients, maybe they have something in the drink that millions drink each day, maybe we are being brainwashed? Sarcasme just in case you not know
  12. Can you please give a link or a source for your information on this?
  13. Money lost? We had paid for Moderna and a number of other expats we know paid as well and this is on top of the thousands of Thai people who have also paid for Moderna just like we did. Most expats in Chumphon provence ended up getting the Pfizer jab thanks to the USA for free, greatly appreciated. My wife has just had a Pfizer jab two days ago thank you to the Thai goverment and other Thai people we know have had AZ in the past few days. We will try to use the Moderna as a booster if possible as no refunds will be given.
  14. What a stupid comment, how do you know he has not protected himself? and to make a silly comment "enjoy your 350,000 baht bill" shows your lack of empathy and by the way he is not the reason we have these rules. Covid is the reason
  15. $12.9 billion $US debt quote from Reuters in June 2021 https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/thai-airways-wins-court-approval-restructuring-plan-2021-06-15/
  16. I hope they have the entertainment system working, I flew with them in May 2021 BKK to London, no entertainment at all, I asked a steward why and was told they had not paid/renewed their inflight entertainment licences. When I went to book a flight back to BKK, the Flight Centre (one of the world's largest and most successful independent travel retailers with over 1,300 stores around the globe) said they no longer sold tickets for Thai air because the airline would not give refunds to ticket holders. At this point I chose to fly with an airline that I knew would not be a problem
  17. Is he an expat who is renting out the house to you? Not thai then that is a good starter. Just turn the cameras off, he can fly out and turn them on if he wants.
  18. Yes, China is well known for cheap products that is what got them to where they are now economically and the west helped them with wanting cheaper priced goods. China is developing strategic technologies and have been for the last 9 years, with innovation as the core driver of China’s development and they will be the leaders in this area in 10 to 20 years. Also with the USA stopping access to key western tec (since Trump) this has spured them on develop and be self reliant. They are a power house that will be very hard to stop
  19. How about having a an extensive health check as a first step, then you can rule out or count in any results. Next step professional councelling so you can have a chat? If going on to meds I would want to find a doctor who has good experince in dealing with expats, and can talk things through with you. I see some doctors here just throw a raft of meds at a patient that may not have any thing to do with the medical problem
  20. In Thailand companys really have a website, they use FB, LINE etc Even with a website I still am carful and that applys in any country. Scams are not just happening here
  21. Yes that is someone setting up a Paypal account to your bank account. I have a few paypal accounts that are used for my company and when you set up a paypal account they send 1p to verify the account. Paypal has introduced a new card that you can get cash advances from them. Not sure how it works because I do not want a loan so just delete it. I suggest you inform your bank and also Paypal fraud team just google pp and see how to aleart them
