Quiet night at the shop with reasonable local customers..but wee bit chilly. I even had a scarf on...yet we sold out on ice..such is life ...sanuk..Tomorrow is MKRO day to stock up..chai

Any updates on Booster No 2. Been in UK since Xmas and just got back this week. My First and Second jabs were done at the Prom last Sept,while I got a Moderna booster in Glasgows Hampden Park (the football ground) but unlike in CM NKP it took me 8 weeks to get the verification certificate. One way return was easy...Thai Pass in 3 days..UK health Insurance accepted and Agoda booking at Holiday inn Express in Sukhumvit soi 11...for one night ...Neg result by 9 pm and 10 minutes later was sitting in "Leks last stand bar" with a beer Chang. Back to question..Just before I left...flew back Scottish / R-uk governments were starting to roll out their Boosters No 2...Programme..so...

Recon time to head back.from Blighty...Pfizer 1 and 2 at the Prom Chieng Mai..plus yellow book a week later with follow up Moderna in Glasgow Scotland..at Xmas.They however took 6 weeks to send and assimilate the certificate with NHS registration..ho hum..but mai pen ...Yes...Hoping los Moh drop the 5 day test.....Will give it another week..sanuk
