    I can quote many stupid farangs inhere but maybe you all can learn a lesson in "the power of believe"!

     

    Believe is so different for any person but still so powerfull for those who believe. Instead of mocking amulets or what ever and at least try to accept why this is so important for them.

  2. Sure me tip.

     

    Mostly 10% with food, around 100bht/day in hotel to the housekeeper.

     

    Often also tip the waitresses in the hotel rest when they do extra efforts like the one time in Hua Hin. If they have, me like to eat those little bananas and the hotel sometimes had but one morning they run out or so. So i asked the waitress if they have, she said no but then after 15 min she come running up with a bunch. Did she go buy or whatever but that made me happy and she got a big tip the last breakfast. And on the look at her face it make me understand this was rare for her.

    350,000 baht hospital bill, nearly £8,000 for 10 day stay! Must be a good room at 35,000 baht a night!

    it's not that shocking at all. You can check some private hospitals online and find out they do charge 20-30kbht for a room/day. So the extra 5kbht for some care, food, treatment and ,in this case probably, alot of desinfecting products is quickly spend.

     

    I'm sure he wasn't send to a public hospital. I went to a hospital in Bkk (think sukhum 4 or 5) with a high fever from flue. Had an injection, x-ray and some meds: bill was 2350bht in 2011.

     

    And it's not different in many countries at all. I have seen before/after bills in Belgium too. Bills of 10-15k€ reduced to 200-300€ after healthcare.

     

    Anyway why would he worry. He must have the 100k$ covid insurance or he couldn't get in Thailand could he?!

  4. Can't be expensive enough. Doing the same as in Belgium: oohh we will make sigarettes more expensive: voila extra 20 cents! That will teach them. 

     

    Make them 100€ a sigarette or so at least. Or just ban them all!!!

     

    YEAH YEAH For all the naggers: you did not see my mother dies from cancer. Screaming loud having tremendous pains when beeing touched all over her body because have lung cancer and mestases! Even morphine didn't work. Over in 3 weeks.

     

    So be happy have your next smoke.

  5. Hi all,

     

    talking with my wife tonight she said today in Thailand again 4-5 new dead after getting second sinovac.

     

    This surpriced me because i only new about 2 during the past weeks.

     

    So did some searching on google and found this page from the BKK-post from june 25 saying now (25th) have already 103 vaccine related deads:

     

     https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2138031/dept-reports-103-post-jab-deaths-in-total

     

    Honestly i found this kinda shocking. Specialy because with 1 or 2 deads with Moderna and Pfizer the news spraided fast all over the world and they even stopped vaccination with those. So how could this not go all over the world and they keep jabbing this stuff  in peoples after so many deads already?!

     

    So did i missed this news inhere or did this not even been a topic in the news mails????

  6. hI RandolphGb?

     

    I would think NOW is the time.

     

    I have a Thai friend who works in real estate for a very long time and she say now the market is almost dead. And also that rich Chinese try to buy many RE for dumping prices.

     

    She also say that many foreigners try to get rid of their RE but can't find any buyers.

     

    She works area Jomtien/Pattaya so i am not sure it is same every where. But this is there because of covid19 so i have a feeling it is the same every where in Thailand. 

     

    So i would give it a shot if you see something you like and start bid low.

     

    Good luck,

  7. Hi all,

     

    does anybody know if this is possible and where ( area Pathum Thani/ Ayutthaya or Bkk )? 

     

    I ask this question for my Thai wife. She is worried she still can't come to Europe after she got her Sinovac shot. Because this vaccine is still not approved for Europe and maybe will never be. And as far we know this is the only vaccine Thai will get.

     

    So we would like to buy her Pfizer or, as second option, any other Europe approved vaccine.

     

    I already checked out websites of privat hospitals and google but hardly can find info even about vaccinations for expats.

     

    Thanks for your help.

  8. So they wonder why nobody wanna stay there. Did you check the hotel website?

     

    Rates in Phuket start from 2600€ for 14 days quarantine. And you need to book on their website because i can't find any room available on booking websites if you wanna come to Thailand soon.

     

    And websites like booking.com give a warning that you need to have an essential reason to stay there or booking will be cancelled on arrival.
