  1. Covid has the potential to cripple most govts with debt, including Thailand.
  2. This guy seems not to have deserved a bash. It was in open air & likely not crowded. That said, I walked from Villa to Terminal 21 a few days ago. A tall, 40s foreigner looking smug with no mask at all even carrying one. And a few who were wearing them on the chin. It's a bit uncomfortable but it's really not a big deal to keep everyone, and oneself, safer.
  3. Righto, here we go again! No email. Input my details again. Error message: "If you did not receive an email, click forgot password on the login page." Okaaaay, business as usual. Login page is here: https://tm47.immigration.go.th Obviously, the vandals too the handle!
  4. P*ssies! Didn't that hack scoop us all anyway? I did not use Mor Phrom. I used MFA at Phayathai 2. Will the vac ID nr work with the More Phrom app, no matter?
  5. Can't talk about it, of course, but we have to wonder how Germany enforced that quarantine from high-risk countries last week...
  6. Colonoscopy & sigmoidoscopy at Chula=B8000. My public hospital has never charged me differently than Thais: standard consult B250.
  7. Didn't work for me the day it went live. Seems successful today. Fingers crossed. Be amazing if they got it right!
  8. As should Thailand! Fighter jets more important than widespread testing. When govt opened, everyone breathed a sigh of relief & started to go about their normal business. Back to the office, full roads & malls & transport. Nothing to do with cooler weather here. Covid spreads by movement & groups indoors. We all want our lives back but let's exercise some caution and stay at home as much as possible.
  9. I chose No. 1--great effect but, on the other hand No. 4 is govt's usual pattern. The worrisome part is that Omicron seems to travel in stealth mode, asymptomatic. We need to go back to PCR testing. Hong Kong's 21-day quarantine is not out-of-line for public safety. This means only essential business travelers will arrive. So be it. We opened too soon and any tourist who travels to Thailand in a pandemic is a fool.
  10. I did not use Mor Prom for my vaccination. Do I have to register on this app to get an appt? Rhetorical question: Why is Thai Red Cross & every health centre & hospital doing vaccinations not have these available?
  11. I get all the points of view represented here. As I have provincial medical insurance in Canada, I always thought I could drag my broken body back there. Could I afford something catastrophic here? Nope. So before the haters get in on how stupid I am (at 71), I have a question. As I have an address in Canada, though I am not required to file taxes, I get a miniscule pension. I don't own a vehicle there anymore but I do have my credit card bills there. My friend wonders if I might qualify for travel insurance stating Canadian residency. Of course, they might not pay out. But I miss my children and like others, have gone every summer save 2020. Is this a sound plan for return to Thailand? All suggestions welcome.
  12. Know personally of at least one hospitalised breakthrough case after two AZ, 30 years old.
  13. You really are tempting fate! I think we may be needing those fields hospitals again.
  14. And think of the children. Family transmission, into schools & teachers. The vax figures are not accurate until kids get jabbed.
  15. I brought my old vax book (2008, rabies) from Thai Red Cross & the hospital where I did my shots filled, signed & stamped. I'd rather have the full Covid passport, though. I'm sure I read something here on TV that this process was moving to Sathorn. Anybody know?
  16. May we presume this is also possible for Non-O retirement? If one enters visa-exempt, is the Non-O one receives a visa or an extension? I can imagine IO trying to tighten this up to make sure everyone has $50k medical insurance.
