Sent 50 k and 150 k baht from my Bkk bank account recently. Very straightforward. Takes about 3 working days. Don’t listen to people who haven’t done it. Like so many things it’s much easier just to go on the App and do it rather than going to banks.

Well done Spurs!.. finally a morning after the season has finished that Rooster will awake a happy man!.. Back to his weekly round up. Rooster came across a Thai word he hadn’t seen before.. please elaborate..!.. I really enjoy the weekly round up but always wish Rooster and others like him that have spent decades in the Kingdom AND taken the trouble to learn so much, had more time to write specific, more detailed, pieces on the many aspects of Thai culture that bewilder those of us who have a mere decade or so under our belts. What to expect at a Thai wedding or funeral, meal out with the family, dealing with tradesman, the ‘gik’ & Mia Noi goings on, regional variations here, the obsession with lucky numbers, etc…etc. I feel there is so much to be learnt from folk who have so much experience of living here… please ASEAN make space for these veterans !

At first reading a sad story but on reflection many things don’t add up … as several posters have said Etihad require a PCR within 48 hours of departure to transit Abu Dhabi. It seems extremely unlikely you would have been allowed to board in the US without this. An American PCR lab report .. surely much easier than the doctor, who in the US is very accountable, writing a handwritten note..? Then $US 8,000 per person for a quarantine hotel..?.. Phuket has set up a quarantine hotel near the airport in Nai Yang for those who test positive but are Asymptomatic. Clean and basic and a fraction of your quoted cost.. So i would now on reflection say a “sad story” aimed at yet another round of Thai bashing.

I really wish I had not read this pathetic story. Truly worthless parasites. I have to ask was this in fact clickbait or did the editors think it had any news value?
