Keep the double arrival tests with departure test skipped sure helps with this Hotspot hub target. Forced Hospitel business 10k baht a night for the unaware! 

LG could ask their service center if some special model. Normal model LG aircon remotes available widely, I have ordered from lazada.

Would not be surprised if there are some influential figures making noises somewhere.

555 I'm the other way - I would be surprised if there would not be... 

Kind of like removing a net or fence in front of a trap that has a purpose to prevent unwanted targets being trapped... Just blatant hunting with trap!

Any prey is welcome now, not save even the innocent, unaware and gullible. We need your money at any cost to you! We nicely call it opening, like putin calls his war as liberation! 

For money it is probably good short term, but bad for long term reputation of honest nation 555.

Increases population that has a chance to hit the trap (as not all people think), and also increases percentage of trap hit rate out of the potential population to find the trap. Perfect ploy. 

Normal logic in internet biz. Thailand 4.1 maybe!

I would be very careful paying for a TG flight with anything.  Many have no confidence that should the flight not take off you will receive a refund or even an offer of another flight.

 

BTW Skorts, how was the Finnair flight - they look cheap but are they comfortable?

 

I have used Finnair many many times. New A350 planes, no complaints. But that's just me.

Completely pointless it's not the pre-departure test that is the problem. Its the prospect of being put in covid prison from the post flight test that's the problem. 

Depends on what you are after... If after hospital revenue, this will help for sure as some people want to save by skipping the pre test.

They issue those documents upstairs, just walk straight to upstairs and take queue ticket there, don't take ticket downstairs. Typically couple of persons in queue, maybe few. 

I always taken the doc in morning, and then go direct to immigration from there. I also recall it is 100 baht. I recall reading somewhere that day before might be ok as well but not sure. Anyway easy to do during same trip. Morning bank and afternoon immigration. 

Remember to make a transaction on that day before you walk up, either deposit or withdraw same day prior to update bankbook. 

Seems Russia jamming GPS signal also here lately, not only in Baltic sea. Wonder why, maybe planning for an attack or something.

I was just wondering what to do
What happens and what i do IF the airline........................
Thanks for so many advice
I am a little concerned that my flight will be cancelled due to the situation in Ukraine
For the time being there are some flights cancelled already by this airline (FINNAIR)
I will leave Thailand and my wife for some month.I will leave on my last permit day 19 march in the evening.
I think this is the best option for me (i was thinking do a Flight run to Cambodia)
I will take care some issues in my country and return 2,5 month later with a brand new NON-O single entree
Thx for your replies (i am still here,my friends!)

Finnair is very unlikely to stop flying the hel-bkk route unless thai authorities tell so. . Might have changes on how many times a week they fly but completely stop flying I do not see happening. They re routed the flight to go around Ukraine, flight time a bit longer due to that. 

Yes they stopped most of flights to China due to denied access to Russian airspace. But that does not impact flights to Bangkok.

You probably need to get the Mor Prom app and get the details recorded on that.

Oh... What's the benefit of that? Registration to that system required somewhere?

Did they give you all the needed paperwork so it was added to your Vaccine Records ?

I got the Thailand vaccine certificate stamped by them (a paper) . I not aware of any other records. 

I have a fire hydrant right next to my house, actually within my patio tiling. Yesterday I a PWA guy came and marked the post,

let couple of cubic meters of water out - and at the end took with him the red T connector where the fire hose should be connected. Went to look next to my neigbor house, and noticed the whole post was gone, only a hole in the ground!

Any idea what is behind the crackdown of these? I understand the testing and marking, but to take away an existing post in a location where no other post conveniently accessible??

Maybe they accidentally ordered large qty of new hoses with connector that is not compatible with the coarse thread of the red T connectors?

Thailand in general is widely known for very good planning, this plan goes to same bucket as many other plans. 

Those familiar with thai language maybe could open the vocabulary in this area. 

How different words and meanings & nuances for English words like 

Wish/hope 

Dream 

Intent 

Vision

Strategy 

Plan 

Execution plan

Action plan 

are expressed in thai, and whether there actually are words that compare to those English words as farang understand them. 

Based on what I see happening, what we understand word 'hope' or maybe 'intent' to mean, actually is about what thais understand as 'plan' ...as usual it's just about misunderstanding... Silly Falang no understand thai culture....

Finally the biggest sanction has been imposed, Russia has been kicked out of the Eurovision song contest

That's nothing - just read news of my hometown (of about 20k inhabitants in middle of nowhere in Europe) freezing collaboration of their Russian/Soviet friendship town of 50+ yrs somewhere near Urals due to this - this is serious s**t.

Ovetshkin still not condemning his buddy Putin though, wonder how the Ice Hockey fans in Washington thinking.

Europe....

Finland to be specific, in other places less common in normal saunas.

To wear something in sauna there is about comparable to girls  wearing a Mao suit in agogo...

Q sauna next to rompho market in jomtien 2nd road also open this morning. 

many places around town, operating from carts. I bet there is one within one km of your place if in city area...

This one is like professional locksmith and probably can do even special ones that some small cart operated ones maybe can not (BigKey thepparasit). 

https://g.page/locksmithpattaya_Bigkeypattaya?share

BigC Pattaya Tai has shop one in carpark, just next to entrance to the mall from car park

One cart I remember in corner of Soi Lengkee and Soi Buakhao, next to 7-11 on the corner

At least the sauna bar on Pratamnak Soi 6, as well as sands sauna at bottom of Pratamnak Soi 5 are open. 

I think most saunas actually are open, but know for sure only those 2 as see them every day.

so what was the wet road's answer?

... Thai wet road of course pointed to the road department, blaming them to build road in a place where could rain...????

Don't have vigo nor personal experience of this shop, but my neighbor used this shop to have aircon of his old merc repaired. Someone who used before for aircon work had recommendeded this place to him.

Presumably some level of knowledge/focus on aircon stuff. Thai place so with reservation as always though... Anyway, he was happy with the experience.

The 6 month wait after a 2nd Pfizer only applies to the free Pfizer vaccination supplied by the Government. As you paid for the booster, you must have obtained it privately.

I got my Pfizers in Europe. Told that and was told to come back in March when 6mo gone. 

Yes I paid in memorial myself, just showed up and got instantly

Had Sinovac and AZ, then a short bout of COVID. Had a Pfizer booster about 4 months after the COVID.

 

Medical opinion seems to be divided, some say Sinovac/AZ counts as 1 jab only.

 

I was rejected at Central Festival by the doctor there when I wanted a booster, he said I had enough acquired immunity. That conflicted with medical advice I got elsewhere, so I had the booster at the clinic in my GF's village.

 

 

I was rejected in RGB few weeks ago as had 2x Pfizer, was told to wait 6mo from last one.

Rode to Memorial hospital and got Moderna on the spot. Left 1650 bath less in pocket. Quick and easy.

However I have understood that this 6mo requiremet would not be applied any more, not sure thought
