  1. Can someone recommend a non-dealer auto maintenance/repair shop in Bangkok for my almost 20 yrs old Toyota Fortuner please? My 19 years old Fortuner's optitron meter no longer illuminates (it does but often takes time, sometimes not until 15 min after ignition). I brought it to the nearest Toyota dealer but all they can do is replace the whole instruments panel which costs almost 15,000 Baht. I've done some Googling and it appears there are easy fixes that involves changing IC/condensor behind instrument panel and it doesn't even cost 1,000 Baht. But it's a skill beyond my ability. I can spend 15,000 but I guess I don't want to spend that much for a car that's probably not even worth 200,000 Baht. I can find a lot of body shops but not maintenance/repair shops around where I live in Sathorn district of Bangkok. Any idea where to bring my car for an easy but affordable fix?
  2. Also, does "sealed route" include airport shower facility and dining area (cafe and restaurants)?
  3. Pre-departure COVID test is not required for the destination country (London Heathrow) and neither is health insurance covering US$20,000. However, it's pretty obvious health insurance covering said amount is required even for transit passengers spending less than 24 hrs at Suvarnabhumi. I raised the question because there's a conflicting information between Thailand Pass FAQs PDF issued by foreign ministry (link posted by ubonjoe) and Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand announcement (link below) that does not mention pre-flight COVID test as requirement (dated April 7th, 2022). The planned flight (Tokyo, Narita → BKK → HRW) is 2 months away and there's a good chance it will all be scrapped if Thailand Pass is abolished by then. However, with all the variables it's hard to book the flight beforehand while the TG sales lasts. As you said, I should probably ask the airline. https://www.caat.or.th/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/guidelines-Inter-flight-with-Transit-Transfer-passegers-TH-ENG.pdf
  4. Is the negative COVID test still required for transiting passengers after they abolished the pre-flight RT-PCR test for fully vaccinated Thailand Pass holders? Or is the pre-flight test supposed to substitute post-arrival test still mandated to all arrival passengers? And where can one buy 24 hrs health insurance?
