    A person for whom English is not the first language would be proof reading the mould for making rubber stamps in reverse. Imagine, as a foreigner, trying to read Thai script in reverse. ????

    You can practice from inside a shop or massage parlour by trying to read what's written on the outside of the window. When I'm bored, I'm very very bored!

     

    And they will know to test the stamp by a few trial stamps, I guess. If they can't read it, well, there's a reason, right?

    Yes, but everyone is anonymous, nobody knows who you are or where you are, assuming when you registered you didn't put your real name?????

    But it does say something, in that the police just dont seem to care if they get found out?

    Protected by their colleagues and senior officers. Impunity almost same as immunity. Until the wheels come off, and the lid!

    Yep, that happens more often than you'd think. Besides, how'd these Chinese get out of China, thought there was total Covid lockdown up there.

    Not so. I've met a few Chinese here in Pattaya. Not the gambling mafia call centre scammer types, but normal like you and me tourists, long stayers, digital nomads. They say it's ok leaving, depending where from, of course, but getting back in can be a problem. Quarantine and numerous checks. China is a big country. I think maybe it varies province to province, and depends a lot on the 0 COVID rules at that time and place.  If Thailand wants to attract educated, intelligent, long stay migrants they should hurry up the process of issuing digital nomad visas, and drop the forever "we want high net worth applicants who are damn fool enough to hand over 40m in order to buy 1600 sq m of land".

    112 @ Macro.... out of stock about 10% of the times I went to get it

    Yes, Makro is not that reliable. The Sukhumvit road branch was out of it, so were both big Cs and Lotus. But the Makro on p. nua had lots of it.

     

    Some of the supermarkets here don't seem to have stock control systems or if they do, they don't seem to work very well. It's a real hit and miss affair.

    You started the thread and now you can't be bothered to read it!  Not very helpful.

    When I last checked, ie at my last notification, there were maybe 4 or 5 pages. I'd already made up my mind what I was going to do by then.

     

    I don't want to upload the letter because

     

    1 it is between AA and their clients, and

    2 there may be issues I don't want to get involved in, in publishing it.

     

    I'm sure if people were that interested they would visit the office themselves. AA are a good company in my experience. I am signed up with Wrlife for better or worse. I did visit one other broker in person, which was MTL on Pattaya Tai, close to the 3rd Road junction. They were also very helpful. They offered me a more expensive policy, but with more cover. They might well be worth a visit. They are a Thai company, but the policy is bilingual. The 2 ladies I spoke to speak good English.

     

    I think that's it for now. I never imagined this thread would run so long, so my apologies for not reading every post. I read a fair amount on AN. Some I just skim through though. I hope people find what they're looking for in the way of insurance, or something like it.

     

    BTW, two separate brokers and an insurer, confirmed my health policy would cover an accident that leads to inpatient treatment. So I've not renewed my Personal Accident Insurance.

    Flu (the thread is about the flu jab, not Covid).

    Yes I know. I started it. But the poster doesn't say if the 650 was for a flu or COVID jab. Seems expensive for a flu jab, and cheap for a COVID jab.

    Jomtien Hospital is the perfect choice. Why change ? They do it on a walk in basis and are not overcrowded. They have a discount from time to time and use the latest 4-strain vaccine. My wife and myself always go there. And as a bonus it is usually on our way home directly at Sukhumvit.

    Hmmm, maybe but 800 for Moderna and 500 for flu. Flu at public hospital only for Thais. No have.
