  1. You can contact the airlines all you want unless you give the clearance that everything is being removed so they have enough confidences they can put forth a regular schedule I won't be getting out my pom poms yet. Funny no one has asked about lifting the alcohol ban or did I miss something.????
  2. I can understand the Thais tourist thinking about using or copying the " Sandbox " which is should be renamed " Quicksand " " Moving on " that is exactly my thinking lets move on from the same old ideas thinking they can just rename the title! It is time if one is to survive is to have a balance well rounded plan this same stuff quarantine asking hotels to join the scheme is just to continue down the same road to obtaining whatever brown envelopes from these plans. Continuous nonsense!
  3. If this is true it confirms how blind? if not they must have polled the immediate top heavy government workers while they were waiting for their pay checks ???? or they have a lot of faith in the people pulling the puppet strings?
  4. I'm up here now for my wife brother funeral who passed away a few days after getting the Sinopham vaccine. I make a yearly visit with her but never seen it like this many times I seen it rain heavy and I mean heavy but they seem to have a better drainage system than Pattaya? but right now the road to my inlaws home is flooded so bad can't even get the vehicles up the driveway it is mud everywhere while family has been filtering in and out to pay their respects. I wonder how is he going to tour in a helicopter? We tried to make a big food run yesterday to the Big C and I thought my 2 million baht van was going to flood away.
  5. You might have not comprehend my response, read it again what is Google?????
  6. You never hear a lot of the negative results from the Sino, death etc. from the Thai leaders currently I up north in Thailand with the wife to attend to her older brother funeral, he was 65, as far as I know he didn't have any sever underlying condition seem pretty fit and strong for 65, several days ago he was given the Sino and within a few hours he developed a blood clot in this lungs went back to the hospital two days in ICU, didn't make it. I mentioned to the hospital adminitrator I read a number of months ago that if someone was given vaccine by the government and dies that the government would take responsibility and make a pay out of something like 400,000 baht or at least pay for the funeral expense the guy just looked at me and said he knows nothing of it?
  7. You will need to go back a number of years prior to his death, when he was able to still on his birthday make a presents to the people yearly made a speech I read it on the Bangkok post this mus have been 3-5 years prior he stopped. I also read an article on Thai Visa a year or two after the current PM took over and made a similar speech.
  8. I would think the first donation made by the U.S. showed what an insult as to what China has been doing and giving since the pandemic. From my interaction with Thais they might feel the same no one unless they have a choice want the the useless stuff the leaders can't answer the call find the paperwork or complete it unless they have a bit of light and that isn't going to happen when they got their head up the butts of the CCP???? The goal has always been to monopoly with the use of AZ, accepting more would of Pfizer would only reduce the profit of making AZ, reason they didn't want to join Covax? in the beginning.
  9. Here in Pattaya it has been a while for sure it isn't free or 100 baht, I think it is more in the range of 600 baht? Then you got to have your TM-30 in place when I did need one I think the TM-30 was a favor of the month or year so there was a long line just to take care of that prior to submission for the resident.
  10. You never should have left if everyone was also having that problem. Based on what you presented in your post normally you would have to start from square one maybe due to the pandemic and them being closed for a number months but what you mentioned was actually the procedure you need even without the pandemic to renew your 5, Two years ago, to renew I had to get a residential certificate, do eye test and reaction and watch the 1 hour movie.
  11. If in Pattaya, you can find at the Makro south of Thappassit further down from the Lotus they have about a dozen or so models including a four wheel one that seat 4, the 3 wheel model shown earlier on another post. They also have scooters I noticed the price runs for the 4 wheel big one at 45,000 everything else is less. I also noticed them at Home Pro but they don't have as large a selection as Makro. Good luck I'm not ready for me yet but soon!
  12. It is tough job to figure out how and when to open for any country? As for Thailand it might just be impossible due to the leaders and the people in their government. Leaders are to lead yet here it is is more follow what others are doing even if there are people who have ideas they are too scared or don't have the power to speak out and make the suggestion. You see it daily even prior to the pandemic and during what we get each morning while we start our day with a good cup of Java is nothing but fancy names and slogans as if they have put a lot of thought into it? What credit I give is how they come up with all these catchy names that all go no where and fizzy. Thai leaders like to place blame but all the blame goes to leaders who collect a sizable paycheck haven't suffer for a second and continue to blow smoke up everyone behind. The good Doctor is right you need to be careful but hasn't it been long enough when will it be for these leaders based on their past history they have never lead only react when it happens or too late. If he missed the memo just the other day a official said in Phuket the Sandbox is sinking and it isn't due to foreigners it is due to Migrant workers! The one thing they miss and there will always be something for Phuket it was to vaccinate all their resident but they forgot to tell their own people before you rush into Phuket for jobs make sure you are vaccinated thus the only reason for the infection rate. If they failed in Phuket the size of Bangkok it isn't rocket science to draw a negative conclusion but should that deter it from opening if it does then I suggest set the city on fire put a sign up close for good!????
  13. It is a valid observation it is " just in my opinion a dumb generalization " period then you made another dumb remark fellow citizens maybe look in the mirror and try to comprehend you first remark! Making accepting criticism which clearly here is the case while you want to bash others with what you try to label as " valid remarks " my response and experience clearly show " not all Americans " " how they can help themselves to improve the service for themselves " show your remarks isn't the case should be a clear example that the slow service is not just American related, not listening to your silly remark should be a clear indication they can improve their service with Wise!
  14. " Reliable " If this is your first time and it is being delayed then saying it isn't reliable is a stretch? What I can say been a customer for a number of years is how you do the transfer ACH etc.. might have something to do with it particular if the amount is large? I would agree when it comes to reliable the tracking information provided is a bit off there are times it is slow do to it being a Thai Holiday or weekend do to the time change we forget? Then there are times below the fine print in the tracking it indicates the money is here but it also says " it can take up to two days for your money " there are times now the money is already in my Thai account before they even have taken it from my account in the U.S.
  15. Will you are wrong this time! I'm a American been using it for years just like the rest of non Americans who are successful. I use it every month now and in many cases the money is within my Thai bank within 30 minutes!????
  16. Yea the guy is on the right right track! Retired enjoy life hear what one hasn't heard in a long long time " handsome man " put the broom down???? get over here and get your " happy ending "
  17. No plan in place just daily wasteful spinning of dumb ideas and time frame to open. In the end, just push it back, and back and back! Oh wait is that like kicking the can down the road?????
  18. I salute the guy for sticking to his guns Bravo! I hope he is successful doing do it is a win for everyone. Deep in my heart I hope I'm wrong but negatively towards their government leaders I would be very surprise if the good old boys network will rule in favor the saying " the more patriotic the more stupid " these guys come from the same swamp they will stick together use their backward logic and come up with a smooth decision that they are protecting their people. If it is against the law for duel pricing if the late HM, stated years back in one of his Birthday speeches even Puppet O, both have said duel pricing is an black eye on Thailand yet just last year the government past a law that it is o.k. for public hospital to start yet since then as far as I know no Thai is standing up saying this is a bad law. Regardless of who you are where you come from getting sick, having an accident particularly getting old no matter how much you work to take care of yourself your body wear and break down the last thing you want to do when it happens is to think you are going to be ripped off instead of Doctors and hospital treating you they only think $$$$. Foreigners are also human we are not alone even the locals think the same it is all relative in terms of cost. I know a lot of Thais under their own system would not go to the hospital because of the cost until it is too late. Under their system if you aren't register in the province aren't eligible for the NHS you pay a bit more that bit more for a poor deter them from getting treatment. The current pandemic has shown my statement shipping sick people on public transport back to their own province, labor contractor shipping infected migrant workers to other provinces like Chon Buri because the testing is free where as it is charged in others. Stop the nonsense do what is humanly right otherwise it is time to stop using " LAND OF SMILE "????
  19. This won't ever happen, just smoke and mirrors because they are hurting economically. The will suggest delay delay hoping and dreaming people will be knocking down the doors to get in and buy but as time goes and goes and thing quiet down it will just like everything get flushed down the toilet.
  20. Whatever is published is just for show and tell! when it comes to a farang they just assume he got it just lying but when it comes to a Thai that is most likely true even if they are not register with the province, " crisis " yea right? Farang tested positive there is no shortage of rooms just put that Thai in the hallway or self quarantine yourself at home which is what they are telling Thais lets squeeze this dirty <deleted>.????
  21. Eight plus years of this silly soap! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ that is their goal when it happens the killer is free to return money talks.????
  22. It is a shame the Thai leaders don't have the fortitude or balls to say to the CCP, thanks but enough is enough instead the leaders double and triple down on buying a vaccine that isn't popular with the locals only with the leaders! Their mix and match method is just their inability to get their head out of the CCP butts. And they continue to claim we care about our people!
  23. He is getting ripped apart for mentioning the price " 2,000,000 for a use car " a lot of money doesn't want to lose it? if you are losing thousand once a new car touches the cement imagine a use one? I can see why he hasn't doing so will only prolong the criticism.???? I find it tough to even spend that kind of money on a new one.
