Meat eating dinosaur footprints found at new site in NE Thailand forest park
mancub replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
They concluded it was "meat eating" due to the numerous KFC wrappers discarded nearby, -
Exactly the same experience twice at the toll. A scam involving showing you your no plate written on their pad with explanation that it had been phoned in from a unit somewhere for some road offence. Also "pay bt2000 or go to the station". Stood my ground and was screamed at "this Thailand, I Thai police". Eventually got away with bt200 a a very nasty taste in my mouth. Happened again a month later. tried the same story, but backed down when they realized my Thai missus was in the car. I guess most unsuspecting tourists would be intimated enough to pay up. Easy pickings. I think maybe they chose me as I had Krabi plates on the vehicle .

Unless an agent can conveniently bypass the whole procedure, bt3500 seems a waste of money just to schedule an appointment. Cert of residence easily obtained, while passport copy, medical cert and required tests at the centre you have to do yourself anyway.

Offshore banking is the option then, as UK banks appear to require residency to open a Fixed Term Savings Account. LLoyds International and others offer rates around 4% currently. Opening an account is a pain, however, as need to show proof of address in Thailand and probably certify your passport. Also requires a linked account for fund transfers.

The emphasis on hand sanitation seems to have died a death in favour of the more visible mask wearing agenda. Perhaps everyone should wear surgical gloves also ? -

Well, nothing's mentioned about having to have a Thai translation of any insurance policy, so if it's a concern, just get and print a quote and bluff it ! -

It doesn't, but the wording "before entering the country" is hardly comforting ! Presumably they'll just suggest and provide a list of "reputable" brokers and then up to you .
