  1. those rates are for Thais and Thai residents only. They are not for foreigners who are tourists.
  2. don't waste your time at Bhumibol Dam course. You'll most likely walk off of there too. If you want to try a reasonably good, inexpensive 9 hole course, check out Harapunchai G C in Lamphun. Also, ALL the golf courses up here have water everywhere, so be prepared to lose lots of golf balls over the course of your stay. Also if you are a Thai resident, viz. a long term expat, and have proof of that with you, you should only pay Thai rates not foreigner rates in CM & Lamphun.
  3. AETNA posted an advertisement on ASEAN NOW about this and it also stated that this will also apply to extensions of stay for O-A visa holders effective from 1 October 2022. I sent a copy of their ad to my health insurance company to ascertain if they new anything about this and they've heard nothing. I guess we just wait for something official to be published instead of guessing, and posting comments that are not based on facts as is the want with many people in this forum.
  4. Doi Ang Khang has no entry fees to enter the NP and there are a few camp sites where you can rent tents at reasonable prices per night. The only entry fees are to enter the King's Project, and generally speaking over 60's are free in most NP's in Thailand, but there is a minimal fee for cars.
  5. follow the directions in the chart posted by scubascuba. I received teh same chart from THG. I'm getting Moderna as my booster, after 2 AZ shots, and I have to wait 3 months after the 2nd jab before they will administer the Moderna jab.
  6. ever hear of desktop and laptop computers? I do 95% of my banking online and I NEVER use my phone.
  7. Had my first one in 2005 at Phoenix G C in Pattaya. My 2nd and last one was at Riverlands G C in Sydney around 2009. When I was on tour caddying in Australia & Europe I witnessed 4 by pros in tournament play.
  8. for what it's worth I wouldn't waste my time on an elite visa. Investigated that option a couple of years ago and it's not worth it. First you don't get to keep your money, that liners the pockets of the elite visa crowd whereas with the marriage visa you get to keep your money in YOUR bank account. Yes the marriage visa has lots of extra hoops to jump through, but so does the elite visa. Based on the information I was given by the elite visa personnel you still have to do 90 day reports AND the equivalent of annual extensions. IMHO not worth it at all, in fact the way they advertise & promote it is quite misleading.
  9. that doesn't work. The app also wants your phone #. The problem is the app won't recognise valid phone numbers. So like the OP scanned teh QR code and took a screen shot of the certificate.
  10. before you do anything, get your grip right. Most amateur golfers grips are wrong, and that is where their problems begin. For simple, easy to understand golf tips watch the Mike Malaska videos on YouTube. Turned my game around and I'm back to a single digit handicap.
  11. not tue. The hospital should have given the OP a certificate with a QR code AND showing the date he had received his first shot, the vaccine given and the date he needs to return for his 2nd shot. If they didn't he should go back to the hospital and ask for one. He will receive a 2nd certificate showing the date of both shots and also a QR code. I had my 2nd AZ jab today, and had to produce the certificate from the 1st jab.
  12. Haven't heard of this e-learning online before. Is it an app for your phone or computer and what is it called please.
  13. this one is also now on the shelf at Makro. To me it's the best full cream milk and also usually the cheapest.
  14. just take it to the shop where you bought it. They usually do this for you as part of the setup of the new phone.
  15. The problem has not been the past 2 managers, it's been the players, and not because they weren't up to standard. There has been a consistent refusal by players under the last 2 managers to change the style of football they play, and that goes back to the traditional Thai style which can be seen in all the leagues. They need to start to use the full width of the field rather than continue to try pushing through the center with their short passing game, to players that are heavily marked. On the rare occasions they played an expansive game, they achieved some very good results, and scored some great goals. Hopefully Madame Paeng will have the wherewithal to tell players that if they don't play as she demands then they will be dropped.
  16. if you have the internet at home you can watch it on vipleague dot lc. Broadcast starts at 7.00 p.m. tonight Thai time for day 2.
  17. A friend of mine has a step son approaching Thai Lottery draft age. I'm guessing that what applies to his step son could be applied in this scenario too. While the step son was at high school he joined the school's cadet corp. Turns out that doing so, and completing the course, automatically exempted him from the draft. Perhaps when the OP's kids are old enough, and if attending high school in Thailand, they could do the same thing. It's worth making enquiries of high schools in the region they would be living in Thailand to ascertain if the school had a cadet corp and if the draft exemption would apply.
  18. judging by the cars and the motor bikes being ridden I would guess late 50's early 60's.
  19. Try these guys too. จักรยานไฟฟ้า ร้านจักรยานไฟฟ้า ที่จำหน่าย จักรยานไฟฟ้าเยอะที่สุดในกรุงเทพ (bkkebike.com)
  20. The advice for the 3 month gap comes from THG ( Thonburi Healthcare Group ). My wife and I registered with THG and paid for 1 jab of Moderna months ago when they opened registrations. On Sept 3 we both received a LINE message from THG re Moderna with the following information: #1. If you have already received 1 jab of any vaccine, they recommend you receive the 2nd jab before you receive Moderna. #2. If you choose not to have the 2nd jab with the same vaccine here are the wait times before Moderna will be effective: i. Jab 1 Sinovac or AZ must wait at least 2 months after first jab for Moderna, which in this case would be a 2nd jab ii. 2 jabs of Sinovac or Sinopharm must wait more than 1 month after 2nd jab before receiving Moderna iii. 2 jabs of AZ must wait 3 months after 2nd jab before receiving Moderna iv. 1 jab Sinovac & 1 jab AZ must wait 3 months after 2nd jab before receiving Moderna We were then required to complete a questionnaire regarding what jabs we had received and when we had or were scheduled to receive the 2nd jab. Based on the aforementioned wait periods we then had to choose the month we wished to receive Moderna and we had to also choose, from a list of private hospitals nationwide, which hospital we would attend to receive our jab. As far as I'm aware every person who registered with THG to receive Moderna & paid the fee would have received this same LINE message from them. I know my friends that registered and my wife's friends that registered with THG all received the same LINE message from THG.
  21. 1st jab AZ. 2nd jab scheduled for next month. Moderna booster scheduled for January.
  22. ttb. But it could just be my branch being this benevolent.
  23. if you want decent golf shoes or any other golf equipment for that matter, take a trip to Bangkok and visit Thanaya Plaza at Silom. It's a shopping mall ( 4 floors ) that these days is about 85% golf gear, it used to be 99%.
  24. If you want really simple and effective swing tips go to YouTube and look at the Mike Malaska videos. Tips are explained in PLAIN english, and clearly demonstrated in the videos. Just about everything we are taught about the golf swing is poorly explained and demonstrated, and in most cases it's actually wrong.
