I ve never been hold for my medicines, but ok only for 2 months, but never had questions.

Also brought bottles of vitamins with me, until now, never questions

 

Once i wanted to bring in a scythe, so then i send an email to customs Thailand to ask if this was a problem.

there was no problem, but sure took that message with me. But indeed , no problems.

 

Once i was leaving, i believe Phuket, but had a charging battery in my suitecase.

When i was about entering the plane, i saw my suitecase was out of the plane, so i go there and asked what was happening. Yes, the battery, it had to get out of the suitecase and carry on hand luggage.

Meaning it was scanned and they noticed the battery.

Weird was i had to notice it myself my suitecase was out of the plane. They didnt ask, saw it just by coincidence.  

 

I suggest for your medicines you make a list with amount and send an email to customs, if it is alright to bring them in. Then you can be sure. Bring the answering mail with you.

 

About the ring, i would suggest, keep it very close to you and dont let it out of your sight.

You could also have bought the ring in Thailand, but ok you got one now.

I bought once a ring in Thailand and kept it "hidden" in my hand luggage. Like a box in a box and then in the hand luggage, not easily accessible, but keep al times your eye on your hand luggage.

There are many things you need to do when you are passing to plane and are very easily distracted.

It is a sad if you loose the ring.

 

I think you win the prize for the best "why don't I try and make things really, really difficult for myself when entering Thailand" competition.  If you have a black hooded gown to go with the scythe, that's a sure halloween winner.

Have spoken with a good few farangs that have travelled "interProvincially", and none have had any form of licence, passport check-up, and most just get waved through at Province boundary check points.  Sod's law - just have all the paperwork to hand just in case.  

Don't bring in anything containing Codeine.  It is banned I understand, as it is used as an additive in the process of making illegal substances (Ice I believe?)

If you are a seller, the lady at the last but one shop at the entrance to the car park to Banglamung LTO will do all the paperwork.  Take all the necessary paperwork, and she will sort the documents and for a couple of hundred Baht will sort out the paperwork, and you can depart the scene.  Having bought and sold various vehicles over the years - never had a problem.  A buyer will have a bit more bureaucracy to sort out by which time you are miles away.  May not be the same deal at your local LTO, but I bet the same solution is available at a price at any LTO. 

Passport, house book (yellow or blue),  reg for the car/bike, and that's about it at Banglamung  LTO.  As usual, the documents and copies will vary

Is it a secret which hospitals will offer this, and, as usual are they all in Bangkok?

Can anyone shed any light on this.  I'm in Thailand and I speak with my mother in the UK twice a week.  She calls me one week and I call her the next.  When I call her my Thailand number shows up on her phone in the UK.  When she calls me a different Bangkok land line number shows up on my phone.  Often the same number, but not always.  When I call the BKK number it's the usual "this number does not exist".  I've not been too concerned about it until a Deliveroo charge showed up on her phone for 45 quid sterling.  She has never used any form of internet/smart phone apps.  She never uses the phone to do anything other than call/receive local calls on her UK Talk Talk land line.  If it's a scam, how can she avoid this rip off via a third party?,  Nothing too technical if possible please,  she's at the time of her life when changing the time on the microwave for GMT/BST  is a challenge.

Many thanks if non-technical solutions are available.

Did mine recently and in case of any hiccups it was the full 15 days before the due date.  I had the email acknowledgement the same day. It's been mentioned many times, but you must turn off a VPN if you have one, and allow pop-ups.  If you don't, the IO computer will put the kibosh on your application. 

When moving house, does the Tabien Baan stay with the house and the new occupant changes the name in it, or does the book go with the occupant that's moving and he changes the address?

If you travel from Bangkok to a village in Isaan, the headman will require you to isolate for some time.

Correct.  I'm doing a month in Pattaya home after 4 months in the provinces as I needed to tie up a few things - car insurance, 90 days, pick up mail et al.  When I return to home in Nakhon Nowhere (assuming the regs at the time allow me to) it's self isolating.  My wife enquired of the Poo Yai Baan what happens when I get back to the village.  14 days staying at home and my wife and mother-in-law (2 houses, 1 plot) must do the same and it will be checked up on.  Sounds like all village head honcho's have been told to do the same.  

How far in advance of the expiry date can a car tax renewal be done?

Also can anyone tell me if the requirement for a Thai "MOT" inspection for a car is over 5 or over 7 years old?  Many contradictory examples on the www.  A reference to an official source would be handy.

Many thanks. 

Plenty of clinics will do a 2 day HIV test to put anyones mind at rest.  Or if the scam victim is still not convinced, failing that, a rather more expensive frontal lobotomy will prevent the same thing happening again.

I'm on 2.5mg Warfain daily for  a DVT and have been for the last 5 years.

Surely if the purpose of warfarin is to thin your blood, then you have a head start if the AV vaccine does increase the risk of a blood clot?

"how would i get information as i have already had a dvt.

there seems to be some questions about blood clots from vaccine"

Same here, I'm on Warfarin for life.  As the purpose of an anticoagulant is to avoid blood clotting, maybe it would prevent or at least lessen the supposed problems with Astrazeneca? 

It's beyond belief.  After all the diligent, stringent and tourist unfriendly precautions that the government have put in place, they are now willing to jeopardize months of "safety first" for a week of reckless frivolity.  Despite the implausible restrictions that will be in place, no-one in their right mind will think that opening up the city for songkran will result in anything other than a plethora of new cases/deaths. I dare say that a serious number of under the counter business transactions have been done lately.

It's a week of idiocy in normal times, to even consider holding it when Thailand is recording 50 or so new cases of locally-spread Covid every single day isn't just stupid, it's the height of irresponsibility. Hopefully, the CCSA and PM will appreciate what the consequences of holding Songkran as usual might be and will stamp on the idea. 

"The event will feature covid precautions, including wearing masks, checkpoints to enter the events, limits on crowds, temperature checks, social distancing and more rules that will be announced in the near future according to the Mayor".  The Pattaya news.      

Absolutely ludicrous and totally impossible to enforce.  Back up to the Nakhon Nowhere boonies for me.

Greed and blind faith - a dire combination.

No sympathy whatsoever

The other good and only thing is they can't travel here. Yippee long may it last

Are the ASQ regulations still in effect? I've seen nothing to the contrary.  If so, any tourists from China here for the new year would already be halfway through their 14 day porridge? Hopefully this will put off a few that would otherwise have come to Pattaya. Even so, the number of Thai Chinese living here and the influx of domestic visitors having a ball for a few days will likely see a surge in infections and the effect of a lot of the sensible preventive measures undone.  How do you stop a couple of people from Samut Sakhon coming here, possibly unwittingly carrying a nasty condition?

The governor of one Bangkok district https://thepattayanews.com/2021/02/04/bangkok-governor-announces-cancellation-of-chinese-new-year-festival-in-yaowarat-due-to-covid-19-global-pandemic/ has already put into effect a complete ban on CYN celebrations. Good on him for making an unpopular decision. 

"CCSA spokesperson Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin said that since December 1, the authorities have been conducting three Covid-19 tests on people under quarantine, instead of two. The previous set up was to test individuals between the third and fifth day and then again between the 11th and 13th day. Under the new system, visitors will be tested on the first day, then between the ninth and 10th day and then again on the 13th or 14th day".

Or not at all if you've just skipped over the river.

With the bizarre usual Thai practice of upping the price of something when demand decreases,Thai tarts increasing their charges hardly seems the way to go.  I doubt whether J M Keynes would approve.

TIT...live with it..

If you're that desperate, we all have a friendly corner shop that doesn't give a toss about such things.  I'm so virtuous that having bought supplies on Saturday, my conscience will be clear when enjoying a glass or four of wine daeng with my roast beef and yorkshires.  

You never know your luck.  First test pilot?   "Ground control to General Chan-o-cha", "your circuit's dead, there's something wrong".

I think the TAT has a master plan to rejuvenate the Chinese golden goose tourism industry with a subsidised financial incentive. If that goes up the suwanee in the recognised tourist destinations, then there is little hope for the rest of Thailand.
