Hunt on for man who attacked Swedish tourist in Bangkok
unblocktheplanet replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
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. -
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.

SURVEY: What effect will the Omicron variant have on Thailand?
unblocktheplanet replied to Scott's topic in Thailand News
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. -

This is a seriously scary outcome! -
Vaccination Passport
unblocktheplanet replied to Shannoblic's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
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? -
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.

You really are tempting fate! I think we may be needing those fields hospitals again. -

More fun, too (as I recall)... -
Vaccination Passport
unblocktheplanet replied to Shannoblic's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
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?
