why? not everybody needs bars and nightlife to have a good time. just because you're an alky doesn't mean everyone else is ????

thanks for this. looks like I might be staying in Phuket for a bit when I come over instead of Pattaya.

I do. Agenda 21 bro ????

not sure what your point is mate. you keep banging on about your personal experience as if it's universal. those posts that KB was referring to were from the pre-Covid "crackdown" era. I read them myself so I know what she's referring to. in b4 "but they must have been smelly ratbags" blah blah blah cool story bro

in b4 ..."I've never heard of this rule therefore it doesn't exist" "all those posts were fake" ????????????

OP's question is what minimum interval will be accepted when applying for the Thailand Pass. he's currently in VN.

this is what Aus advisory group ATAGI did back in June when cases were climbing in NSW. it was a tricky decision to make but I went ahead and got the 2nd dose at +6 weeks because it seemed like the right thing to do at the time. of course now I wish that I'd waited and got the extra protection as I'm moving to TH in December. hindsight is 20/20 etc etc ????

my Thailand Pass application is still being reviewed so I'm sorry I can't give you my experiences yet. I had my two AZ shots six weeks apart based on Aus govt advice at the time (June 2021 peak in NSW)

that's not what he's asking

hi mate thanks for the detailed response. but I'd have been happy with "fk nose" ????

wen $200k. wen lambo ????????????????

interesting perspective. I first went traveling to Thailand in 1997 and started about six months on Koh Samui. it took a little while but I eventually recognised the nature of the beast. so nothing comes as a surprise to me anymore. as for dialing it back, yeh that'd be a good start. hope this current lot of students fare better than their predecessors.

I'm afraid they do charge for ATM withdrawals once you've exceeded your Monthly Free Limit. this depends on card issuing location and your card staking tier. full details are in the Fees & Limits section of the app. for EU cards the excess usage fee is a whopping 2%.

I've heard that rumour too but only on this forum so I'll have to take their word for it. if true then what's the point in getting upset about it? that's how Thailand works and it ain't going to change any time soon. if Thailand got its act together most farang wouldn't be able to afford to live here.

I'm still waiting for Bitkub verification after one month. Zipmex took a day or two. I'm in Australia now but coming over in December. do you recall what Zipmex asked from you to verify your address in Thailand? I'm verified for Australia only so will presumably need to get re-verified after I move to Thailand and find a place to live.

AFAIK CdC don't ship cards to Thailand. didn't you have to go to UK to get yours?

would you have it any other way?

oh sorry mate I didn't look too closely at it, I was fixated on this "PCR = RT-PCR if Covid-19" concept. just imagining the Benny Hill-esque shenanigans at the airport when you try to explain that to the check-in agent. that's everyone chasing each other around in circles for all the young 'uns on here ????

I've been mugged in Pattaya, way back in 2009. on Naklua Road about 11 pm, walking back to my hotel near Pottisarn. it was an organised gang; two lads hiding in wait in the shadow and two guys on motosais as the getaway drivers. on my last trip in 2014 I was hanging out at my mate's condo down one of the Naklua back sois and when it was time for me to head back to my hotel the bar owner insisted that I don't walk up to the main road like I used to do all the time. there were no win motosai around at the time so he insisted on riding me up himself. sounds like you need to get out more ????

No. 1 ... my mum! ????

thanks for explaining all of this as I was wondering about it myself. it would a hell of a lot easier and less confusing if everyone just used the term "RT-PCR". average Joes like me don't really care about all the technical ins and outs when we're trying to arrange the right test. if you click on the "Rest of World" tab it lists a "PCR" test. sounds like someone in Heathrow is being just a little too clever.

FUD

g'day mate, thanks for the heads up. I read about that a few months ago and am hoping to skedaddle before it's passed into law. I love 'Straya but they can get stuffed with their 45% top marginal tax rate. my intention was always to leave "permanently" once I retired and become a world nomad but it was always a nice fallback if I wanted to come back for say, three months and explore the outback or whatever. but this proposed 45 day max. rule is disgraceful. it's a Barry Crocker! ????

needless to say I'm in love with both PlanB and Cathie Wood. I like Willy Woo as well, he talks up the BTC price too ????

same. but there's a struck match between the two governments as far as competence goes. Let's Go Scotty!????
