Do you know what is the required minimum time from 2nd shot to get the 3rd? Got my 2nd mid Sept in Europe and need to find the third one here as it seems no travels to Europe anytime soon. Where to find the vaccination availability dates?

... Won't last even that long as the collection department just informs that allocation transfers are on hold until any misunderstandings have been cleared...

Thailand and Thai people are better than any other country or foreigners to do pretty much anything. Everything negative has a root cause outside Thailand or thai people. I am perfect, and as being such, criticism is not allowed as it unnecessary - as I am perfect. Now, wonder what would happen if he would be put to do something real, esp with responsibility, with group of people with normal brains and without protection he has here...

As you know more about watch batteries, would you happen to have any idea what is needed on and 20yr old citizen eco-drive that does not really last at all if not in sun all times? Have not opened or taken anywhere as not used much in these smartphone times, however should have it fixed just in case. But does it require some special battery or tools?

...so all major events will be officially for audience of max 999 persons - however nobody counts people entering, and if suspected more than 999 would come, just count every now and then to make sure stays under 1000.

Well, not as simple as that. In short term maybe true for many, however if the tourism generated forex revenues would remain at current levels, actually almost everybody would be affected UNLESS they would find some totally new forex generating activity with same levels as tourism. something in magnitude of $100Bn a year maybe. With the skills of Thai, very diffucult to find such, esp compared to ease of generating it by monetizing sun and pussy for masses at affordable rates. Just imagine where baht would be without tourism generated forex, and implications of that.

...your second sentence voids the first one in the context of Thailand...I see no chance unless they simply decide to get rid of 90% of tourist forex revenue - which is very very unlikely as it is so easy money for lazy Thais.

What's the borderline between a bar and a restaurant? With the experience of interpreting and enforcing laws in general, including frequent 'misunderstandings', things will get more and more open until for whatever reason someone outside of pattaya stops it. Self regulation is not strenght of the country, not to speak of pattaya, esp if money is moving in envelopes.

I need more money. But I work less. Ok kaa no pomppem. I hansum and have good amulet.

Now that's impressive finding from a doctor. In my home country several drunkards missed that information! Dr Sarayuth Bunchaiphanichwattana candidate for a Nobel prize for the scientific finding!

it's just the usual word flow that they have to say for the sake of saying - though always risk of them actually starting to do something and screwing up everything. real meaning something along the lines of this: 1. Improving the quality of life and safety = Once covid is over, facilitate more poor girls here to earn $ to pay the accumulated debts and improve their and their faimilies life standard, and to attract tourists with that to use other services too etc. Don't remove the entrance thermometers for the sake of show safety even when covid over. 2. Upgrade infrastructure efficiency to support the EEC = Try to get China to fund the planned trains so that local contractors and officials can get their kickbacks. Never mind the chaos and dysfunction of the outcome. 3. Promote economic and environmentally-friendly innovation = set up a pattaya think-tank to try to create new ways to extract more from tourists without actually doing anything. 4. Sustainable management of natural resources and environment = promote girls and boys to do more three(and four-five)somes as it saves in water and laundry - and also increases average spend per visitor. 5. Enhance Pattaya City to a modern and highly efficient organizational city = continue to manage the road, drainage, water and cable re-works as before or worse. Close longer sections of more reads and spread the resources evenly to all of them so that the works last longer.

Thick envelopes are well known to have tendency to cause memory loss. Even total.

55555 news story of the day. Why so many of these moronic news covering various areas of the society lately.

Thanks. Do you happen to know if the vaccination requirement is also applicable to Thais or just foreigners?

thats what I think too. But I wondering how the whole issue is handled techically i.e do they record the post-filing at all anywhere even when I file, just take the paper as the regulation is like that. They will not give receipt, and neither they require any proof that you had the 400k in your account during months 4-10, only the two months prior to extension application. Thus, wonder what really happens with this if report not done at all. As they do not give any receipt for this, I could basically say I filed, but they lost the paper or misfiled or something, if they would refer to that at renewal. The whole regulation of post reporting is a moronic idea of someone in immigration HQ, without considerations or actual plans of implementation (as in many policy cases here), IMO.

I have done this post report since it became a requirement, I think twice already. Just renewed my extension this week and again got the paper with date to do the post report. When I submitted the documents 3 mo later, I did not get anything to confirm that I have done it. This to me is an indication that they actually do not file it anywhere, and skipping the report might not have any impact whatsoever. At renewal they only check the 2mo before. The interesing question is whether anybody who got the paper but did not go report at all, had any trouble renewing their extension following year. People who use agent to bypass the 800k requiment do not need to do this report, though is possible that the agents would do it but I bet it is not required to be done at all if pay the 'fee'. 90 days report still needed.

Walked along makro sukhumvit alleys yesterday but did not see any pork sausages in frozer pork section. Any idea where they keep them?

I think price of rice is measured in usd, anyway not in baht. Price set in global markets where thai simply is in very bad position against esp. Vietnam If baht is up, the price thai seller gets goes down (if they choose to sell). That's why the rice subsidy is in talks again.

I am contemplating to make a trip to south, visiting the islands (similan, Lipe, Kradan and maybe others) that I never seen. What is the best way to find about possible limitations/restrictions to visit those places due to covid?

April fools day? Thai news headlines are really getting totally absurd, April fools day headlines in the west look serious compared to this

Reuirements for 65k method seem to me country specific, at least in Pattaya. Last year I tried 65k method, but was declined as for my country (with state pension system) they required embassy document about pension. I can not get as I am not entitle to pension from my country due to my age, am self funding too, thus can not qualify for 65k method. So back to 800k system. I understood that had I passport from some other country, I could have qualified with my paperwork (excl any income statement, just had the monthly bank transfer docs) Thus, if you could share your country and possibly earlier experience in BKK, maybe could get more accurate and reliable answers.

If really 80% of slots taken, then either a lot of almost empty planes landing, or alternatively a lot of unused slots!

If I were Thai goverment, as part of the overall tourist attraction plan, I would institute a policy that anybody who would be quarantined due to being victim of this testing policy would be put to nice luxyry pool villa with full board at goverment cost, and on top of that would give $1000 voucher for each person to welcome them later. Best I could do to alleviate concerns of this system. So few test positive cases that for sure it would bring more than cost, and minimise the bad press. But I know they are too simple-minded xenofobic that for sure they will not.

Okay so seems to be as before then!
