Four weeks ago I was upbraided by Paw Luang for not wearing a mask. This last few days I notice workers on his new house extension working maskless. There has been no case of Covid-19 in our tambol at all nor in Chiang Mai province for 2 weeks.

I used SevenSeas just over 3 years ago. They charged a reasonable price and supplied six boxes and a lot of bubble wrap and tape. The staff were helpful, they instructed me to make sure it wat sent in the name of a Thai citizen and clearly marked as Used Household Goods. I also had to supply proof that my wife had lived outside of Thailand for at least 5 years.
My only criticism is that they took about 6 weeks longer than promised. Most of which time spent sitting in a depot in the south of england awaiting shipment

All the Governors are watching each other afraid to be the first to break ranks. It will take just one to boldly go and ease some restrictions, then they will all fall over each other trying out match the neighbours.

A Question for the Medical Experts.
I received a BCG Tuberculosis inoculation in my teens 50+ years ago and about 8 years ago was also inoculated against Pneumonia.
I read that BCG affords some protection against Covid-19, how true is that and will it still be effective ?
Also deaths from Covid-19 seem to occur after the onset of Pneumonia. Will my inoculation help to protect me ?

For the financial requirements, did you use the method of having 400,000THB in a Thai bank account for a period no less than 2 months prior to making the application for extension of stay or the monthly income of 40,000THB and working in Thailand?
Deposit in Bank for two months. I do not understand why they want a full year's details

Neither! As it says in the headline, it's an:"Application for extension of stay for marriage Chiang Mai Immigration 02/04/2020".
The TM47 is:"Form for Alien to Notify of Staying Longer than 90 days"
Regards,
Joe
Thank you, you beat me to it.

Mods, I can not find a specific thread for this. It applies to Chiang Mai Immigration. If you can find an appropriate thread, please move it.
My wife and I went to Chiang mai Immigration at 7.30am. There was a small queue where every body was separated by 2 metres , had a temperature check and hands sterilized,
There were two young volunteers, both speaking excellent English, who enquired our business, gave me a number and directed us to a waiting area under a shade. They were marshalling an orderly flow of applicants into the building.
At approx. 8am I was called forward and one of the volunteer checked all my papers and required me to fill in forms acknowledging the penalties for various misdemeanors. (Last year, I did this at the interviewing officers desk inside.)
We then went inside to the counter where all the papers were checked again and I was instructed to rewrite the application for by hand in blue ink, typewritten not being acceptable. Then I was given a new number and sent to wait at another desk
After about 45 mins. we were called forward . I was required to show that my foreign marriage certificate has been seen at the Royal Thai Embassy in London. I still had a copy of the certificate with the Thai Embassy stamp on it but I have been instructed to obtain a an original certificate, authenticated by UK authorities and confirmed by Thai Embassy for next year's application.
I will also have to obtain a translation into Thai language of the certificate by an authorized translator and have it certificated by the Thai Foreign office.
Also, I must print all copies on single sheets, no doubling of two pages of bank book on one sheet, no doubling of two passport pages on same sheet.
TM6, TM30 receipt, TM47 receipt copies must all be on separate sheets.
No double sided sheets, where a document is printed on both sides, back and front must be copied on to separate sheets.
In addition, next year will require an extra bank statement detailing at least a years transactions for the account being used.
We received the usual under consideration stamp and were finished just before 11.30am

The Xenophobia has intensified recently. Somebody or organisation has successfully planted the myth of the Farang Sokapok in the Thai psyche.
Even my wife of 34 years believes that all Europeans are filthy since they NEVER shower and do not take their shoes off when entering a house.
Also they ALL carry a Superstrong strain of Covid-19 which is fatal to Thais. This Superstrain thrives in cold climates and is therefore fortunately, hindered by hot temperatures. Therefore Air-conditioned offices and cars must be avoided.
On return from a recent visit to Immigration she had me shower and put all the clothes I had been wearing through the washing.
Forbye, She tells me that a Farang with Covid-19 has caused Hang Dong market to be closed down, and that on Tuesday, 52 people died in Suan Dok Hospital.
Her sources are local radio and the village Paw Luang's daily broadcasts.

She who must be obeyed insists that the Virus is attracted to beer and can smell an imbiber a Km away.
Also alcohol enhances the Virus's effect.

My UK Passport expires at the end of this year. I worked out that the extra fees charged and costs incurred by using VFS will more than double the nominal price of a new passport.. I therefore intend to apply on line using my brother's address in Glasgow for him to send on to me.
Is this legal? Can I send my expiring passport direct back to the Passport Office or would I have to send it via my brother? I expect the whoe process to take one month which is not bmuch longer than VFS.

My granddaughter tried to Email me some photos taken with her smartphone without success.
She is using an Apple smartphone and GMail, I am using an old Acer laptop with W7 and Firefox browser. My EMail account is with Hotmail.
Granddaughter's device shows that they were sent normally but I did not receive them.
Are there reasons for this ? What can I do to retrieve the photos ?

Sister-in-law does not know the name, but she says you can divide it and the separate roots will grow.
Good luck

We normally do a monthy shop in Makro Hang Dong. Yesterday, in a mild panic, The Boss decided to go early and stock up. We now have toilet rolls, kitchen towels, washing up liquid, toiletries etc for at least 6 weeks.
Makro was slightly busier than usual but plenty of tills open. The only thing I noticed in short supply was cooking oil, no sunflower oil (my preferred choice) nor corn oil, only palm and soya bean. I did not notice any overt over-the top shoppers. I found sunflower oil in Big C but was restricted to only 3 1 litre bottles (all I wanted anyway). Prices have gone up. On Sunday a 1.9l bottle of sunflower oil was 102 baht, yesterday it was 138 baht.
Today my preferred egg shop was closed due to lack of supply. the 2nd was open but had run out of large eggs and would only allow 1 tray per customer. Price has also gone up by 15 baht and they intended to close early.started
Panic buying and or hoarding has started
Strangely, in both shops, electrical items and many other non-food items were taped off.

I went to KrungThai Bank, Makro and Big C in Hang Dong today. Security in all refused to allow me in until I put a mask on.

Just been listening to a doctor in Milan who was asked why the outbreak was so severe there.
1. Large number of Chinese visitors to Northern Italy.
2. One of the most aged demographics in the world.
3. Government tardiness in reacting.
No mention of some Italian superstrain. Urban myth based on zero facts.
A recent report in The National newspaper (published in Glasgow) stated that Northern Italy has a large fashion industry employing several thousand temporary Chinese workers. Many of them returned to China for Christmas and New Year and are believed to have brought the virus back with them on return.
