Not a good idea , would be big trouble if caught 

no chance to check your health data

"adding that more than half of the cases reported between November 6th and 12th are not vaccinated or not fully vaccinated, leaving them vulnerable."

More than half? So something like the elections in the US, 49% : 51%? Or is it the other way around? The vaccinated having more serious symptoms? Just wondering ????

Car insurance frequently attaches to a vehicle and not to the person driving it. An auto insurance policy may, therefore, cover an injured party’s damages even if the at-fault driver was unlicensed or uninsured.

I am sure this is impossible. No license = insurance is void. If the insurance is not attached to a specific person, then any person can ride it and be covered IF AND ONLY IF they have a valid driving license. Period.

you can not make others do what you feel is wrong and in your view a miscarriage of justice.

C'mon, exactly this has been done to us for some 3 years so please stop this nonsense. Finally the stupid mask mandate is over!

Finally!!!!

For the poster who said masks in school are stupid.

Our school in San Kampaeng  had to close 3

times due to students catching Covid. Masks played

an important role in not having MORE kids exposed.

In previous years it was called flu and schools did not close because of it (most of the times). It is called "training the immunity".

After I have seen how Thais are scared of Covid and keep using the masks like crazy, I stopped believing that they are not afraid to die because of Buddhism. Bull***.

It is the original Thai Elite visa. The  5 year visas that allow a one year stay replaced the original one in 2012 or 2013.

You have to apply for 90 extensions at immigration or leave and re-enter the country to get a new 90 day stay.

This quite substantially lowers the real value then, especially in times of further possible Covid 2 or Covid X when it might be again difficult to travel.

So you want a maid who will also give you free massages (I am sure you expect the extras, too :-)) and want to pay her a few thousands a month? C'mon, you either pay a proper price (i.e. tens of thousands per month) and can expect some win-win situation and a reasonable trust in there (she gets reasonable money so she will be happy, too), or you can not afford such a maid and this is not going to work.

I would try Povidone or even alcohol, just to kill any germs immediately and effectively.

I've done this several times in the past 6 months. I send money from Citibank US to my Wise US account, which goes pretty much instantly. From my Wise US to my SCB account takes several days but I think it takes that long because I've been sending about $25,000-$30,000 each time. I put down the reason as general expenses and they've never questioned me about any transfer but it takes some time for it to end up in my SCB account. Wise keeps me informed of the progress, though, and gives me an ETA, which they always have met.

just make sure you are fine with the fact thet they will wire it to you via their local Thai partner so this will not show up as an international transfer on your bank statment and you will not be able to use it for buying a condo, for instance

If it is urgent, you might try to travel to the Thai borders and connect to one of the operators from the neigbouring countries and use roaming to receive the OTP SMS through them. 

I have the same problem with AIS. Bank is in Cyprus, stopped receiving OTP messages. Not possible to resolve, AIS keeps saying not their problem. It is obviously being blocked on the Thai gateway working above the mobile operators. 

Hey, I am not there yet, I am just trying to find out if this would be possible since it will take me a few hours to get there and back and I do not want to waste time going there for nothing.
