They definitely want to encourage sponsored work visas.  That's nothing new.  It is also not a problem staying in Vietnam if you are married to a Vietnamese citizen.  This thread is mostly talking about everyone else which is probably the vast majority.

Have you accepted any job offers yet ? just wondering . As every person I have talked to recently say that I must be in the Country to apply for a job.

I had a friend who had similar symptoms but as it turned out it was because of excessive jerking movements with his right hand, not sure if this information is any help to the Op...

A lot of people here have "friends" My friend is having the same upper arm pain but with the left arm. it all began after taking the second dose of covid vaccine.

Raise your hand if you have completed a 90 day report within the last three months!

I haven't, but I know a friend who has.

Yes indeed they do, but they are paranoid, criminal, megalomaniac control freaks, with a morbid fear of the Capitalist west, the Thais are none of those things. 

Yes, I agree.

A friend told me he's still able to enter a few sites

And another "friend" can access pornhub .th  but says pornhub  . com is blocked. How's that for censorship ?  But I wouldn't know

I have found that chewing raw garlic seems to keep infection at bay, at least people seem to give me a wide berth so not close enough to spread virus.

 

But maybe should look at alternatives like AZ ,Pf etc. Don't see much of friends any more for some reason.

Seriously , My wife has garlic in a plastic bag and inhales it, saying it helps prevent Covid. The first time I saw her doing this, I thought she was sniffing glue.

You are having a laugh! ????????????????????

Thai schools won't open until Term 2 (November) at the earliest.

International Schools MIGHT open in September or October, but I doubt it.

 

My daughters have completed three whole weeks of on-site school in 2021, but they're well versed in TikTok and Instathing.

Exactly the same, Maybe  one month last year , and two whole days this year. My daughter has 680

+ followers on Tiktok and youtube is her addiction.  She is 6 years old.  I can't complain she has learned so much in English from it. She speaks better English than her mother.

Yes, understood.

The only problems I have are with the delivery drivers, So I use COD, That way I couldn't care less if they deliver or not.

I buy a lot  hate having to do COD as you need to have cash. Prefer to have it paid so i dont have to get cash ready. Its only minor amount of times I got trouble and lazada always solves it faster. So all the time messing around with money does not weigh up against having to contact lazada once in a while. Just a matter of numbers and preference. Never lost a dime on lazada everything always got sorted out.

Yes, understood.

The way I found this is I saw someone on the news in El Salvador essentially saying “we can transfer $100 dollars worth of money to any country in the world, and they receive $100 in their currency with no fees” lol

 

I paraphrased. But I think what the person meant was it is in fact possible to do this via their system (lightning netowork), but they are still under construction. So I don’t know? 
 

But, I guess almost every citizen of El Salvador has one of these accounts, and it is accepted by the government there. Whatever that means I don’t know. But I will cross fingers for Thai baht soon:)

I am most interested in China RMB  to Thai Baht. China has the worst kind of currency restrictions.

Interesting, I assume that would include China. Since it mentions it will launch in over 200 Countries . Quick question..... What are the new Countries ? I just looked it up and there are 193 countries on this world.

Is that the best they can come up with....let it go and expect more as the years progress, it's just plan jealousy, I'd say that I am the wealthiest bloke in our village, I don't flaunt it, I keep to myself, I'm respectful and smile at people, and the hairdresser said to the Mrs the other day that people are saying your husband is a tight a$$, can't pronounce it in Thai, kee nook or something like that.

 

My wife saying, that's good, hopefully no more people come to ask for money, so I won't have to tell them what I told all of the other people, i.e. I don't have any money, it's my husbands, it will be mine when he dies, and that won't be for a long time because he is worth more alive than dead as his investments keep making money.

 

Actually thinking of getting a t-shirt made up with the $ symbol on the front and back lol

 

We know who it is, and just laugh it off, not going to lower ourselves to their standards, besides, were not a bank.

it translates to  A sticky <deleted>   Kee Niaow

They certainly could add it to your yellow card. Most places are filling out a card listing the doses, I would love a central list that I could refer people to. The electronic passport will be a lot easier.

 

I just read this...  The hospital administering the vaccines should include the certificate, and it should also be available via the “Mor Prom” Line account. So I have to go to the local hospital and ask them for it.  This Mor Prom doesn't let foreigners register ? Something about ID numbers. I also read that the certificate is good for one year , but something about the stamp ? it is only valid 3 months. But I can get another after 3 months..    This is confusing to me.  Anyway, I will just go and see what happens.  Oh... my point to all this is that I don't think they can add it to your yellow vaccination card because of its short validity ?

Good Question.  I had to ask about it after my second dose. I was the only one inquiring about it. Apparently my name is entered into a database ? I was told to go to my local hospital to get a certificate or booklet ? In a weeks time. I looked online, and I read that it costs 50 baht another site says 100 baht.  They also told me it is valid for 3 months ? I don't understand that.
