  1. Same-same but different: Khun Anutin might be the next PM - according to himself, he is interested - our present PM got a fine for not wearing mask...

  3. Best would be to move the money during the almost 7 month long 400k baht period, which will make it more easy for the immigration officer to check; or after an extension of stay and with withdrawal and new deposit same day. I've been using the 800k baht in 12-month fixed deposit for long time and even been shopping around between three banks for best interest. I always move a couple of day after my extended stay expired, withdraw and deposit same day, and I never have had any problems. With a 12 month clean deposit it's easy for immigration officer, and she (it's normally the same lady now on days) don't bother checking the maturing time, or ask to see bank book in three month...????
  4. From what I've seen so in the news then Crypto gain is income taxed; if there might be a flat 15 percent option, like on interest, I'm not aware of.
  5. It's for people living in Thailand, it has nothing to do with arrivals...????
  6. That should have been a calculated risk factor when travelling to Thailand during a pandemic, all facts were known in advance, so it cannot be a surprise worth for a media story.
  7. They - Thais vaccinated with Chinese Sinovac and Sinopharm vaccine - are offered a third jab with AZ or Pfizer, some places with many incoming tourists now even a jab number four (so it is, where I live, today there is walk-in jab 4 in the major shopping mall)...????
  8. He must be old then, the bridge to the stone has been there for ages, and originally also a small restaurant serving refreshings next to the bridge...
  9. When there's an entrance fee you either pay or stay out, it's as simpel as that. That is however sad, as the overlapping stone for ages has been an attraction for a number of tourists to visit...
  10. Me too, I also missed all the exciting news-stories from 4th wave...???? I thought that it was the still the 3rd wave with increasing until about September last year, and therafter slowly fell down to just below 3,000 new daily cased around New Year. I never heard anything in the news about a wave being declared ended, as I heard with both 1st wave and 2nd wave...???? However, it seems like the Delta-variant might be considered as the 4th wave when Delta became the major infection, however the news never mentioned it like that, so now the Omicron-variant must be 5th wave...

  12. Little updated dash cam-stills driving from north to south on the normally busy middle section on Chaweng's beach road in the evening 4th January 2021. Much more light and life now, and taking the Covid-situation into consideration it has improved a lot, but unfortunately still many closed places...

  14. Yes, to above post, there are plenty of horror stories in the news feed about positive Ciovid test and quarantine. Traveling to Thailand under a pandemic and the present conditions, you are taking a risk for being quarantineed. Make sure you have a proper insurance to cover you, also in case you are asymptomatic quarantines, or quarantines because you sat next to someone in the airplane that tests positive upon arrival.
  15. You need to ask the local tessa ban-office, regulations might be different in different provinces and local areas...????

  17. Thanks, I became aware of my mistake, but unfortunately after the edit-window. There have been several stories in the news, including ScandAsia, about Danes traveling with TUI complaining about being Covid-isolated, also after a child tested positive. My conclusion is the same for the Norwegians here, we are pretty much alike - apart from Norwegians are tonal singing more when speaking our almost common Danish language - we were originally the same country...????
  18. I had my third jab on Xmas Day - thanks Thailand, for taking care of me... - and in reply to the opening questions: You can get infected with Covid-19 when vaccinated - some says easily with Omicron - but avoiding serious illness, or in worst case scenario death, it's worth having that jab, and any additional jabs, and still be able to gain natural immunity without being critical sick. However, I'm not a doctor or health expert, just an opnion from following the news a bit. It might cause problems traveling without a booster jab, as some European countries counts 6 or 7 month after a vaccination only as valid vaccination cover, so with a booster you extend that period with another approximately half a year per present regulations. ????
  19. That sounds fair, it would have been (at least) 600 baht without a meter based on my experience with similar distance on Samui...

  21. Thanks... Ups, I missed that, but same-same (Norway was part of Denmark until 200 years ago, when they chose a Danish prince as their own king...????). Just change "Danes" with "Scandinavians" we are pretty much enough alike...????
