UKJASE

hua hin is ready - it has been rammed all week since last weekend's 4 day holiday...... 

not with farang, but with those thai people from their capital

i am sure it can cope with a few more people if it needs to

i completed the application and then when it came to delivery / collection options, the only one that was allowed was "Collect in Person"......  the other 2 were greyed out, and as i dont live in bangkok, pick up was not really convenient

did anyone manage to get the delivery by post option to work?

36 cases associated with a bakery in Soi 51.

that's either a really big bakery, or the staff were giving covid to the customers

windscribe is a great VPN - that is free

what are good torrent sites these days?  i used piratebay, lime and torrentfunk last night for the first time in ages, and all three were full of ads and deceptive links.  A lot worse than the last time i used them

any recommendations pls?

i would imagine it is two shots of recognised vaccine isnt it?

any other vaccines you have had, would be irrelevant (i guess)

are many places selling beers over in patts?  here in hua hin there are a fair few places we can go, but still quite low key

definitely seems that the powers that be are easing up a bit on being so strict on beer sales

khao takiab, hua hin - visitors allowed, swimming pool open, restaurant open......  temp check on way in (voluntary)
 

i read yesterday that over 90% of people had been vaxxed in hua hin (first dose)

is that correct?!

That's correct. 

Keep in mind that someone obtaining an STV now, will hopefully be in a different situation in 9 months time. Meaning if some land borders are open at that time, the opportunity to exit and reenter would be possible

oh yea, remember that STV are 9 months now, so you have plenty of time if you cant / dont want to swap to ed visa

i am sure my school has not been issuing new ed visas for a long time now, as they were not allowed

maybe it would be good to contact a couple more schools and see if they are able to issue visas.  if they all tell you they can issue them now, then you could be pretty sure that they are available again

it wont be great if the koh samui school apply for you and then you get knocked back

if someone asks to borrow money just reply you dont have any.  end of request

surely that is easier than avoiding talking to people for a lifetime!!

kind of strange that most people on this thread seem to be wary of talking face to face with strangers, but are quite happy to spend hours on this message board talking to strangers

best to call the hotel you have in mind and ask what is their procedure

i dont think the photos used here were from this weekend.......  the night market is barely open

i think my first shot is in a computer system somewhere because i had the vax in bangkok, then a few weeks later my Mor Prom queue number in hua hin came up, and they emailed me to say that it was my turn in the queue, but i could not get the vaccine as they were aware i had already had first shot in BKK
 

It is nice to know they have some sort of central computer system going on

they used to sell diet pills (for dancing all night) at the full moon parties on KPG a good few years ago

i bet there is a few pharmacies around who did not get the memo regarding them being made illegal, and could sell you some

like others say tho - i am not sure it is the best way to lose weight

i always wondered why so many arrested people here would then implicate their accomplices into the crime too

i guess a lot of these confessions are achieved under duress 

facebook / shoppee

good work crossy.  an interesting subject that i feel i should learn more about..........

we live in hua hin (often sunny), have a 4 bedroom villa with no trees around (so plenty of sun falls onto the roof) and have an average electric bill of 2000 / month (we dont use AC much).  We are connected to the grid through a 3 phase system, that feeds our small moo baan.

which system would be best for us and how much would it cost?

how many years of usage do you think it would take before we recouped our initial investment?

do systems go wrong much, and therefore need a lot of fixing?

we have had some cheap solar lights in the garden for a year or two and i have been impressed with their reliability and power 

great topic mate - and thanks in advance if you can offer any guidance
