I tend to support abortion, but I think there are few reasons why a woman cannot make up her mind to go in that direction, in the first trimester. However, overall this is a positive sign for Thailand. For a nation which is generally moving backwards, between this and cannabis legalization, this more or less proves that even dinosaurs are capable of making smart decisions, occasionally. 

I agree with most of your well written posts Mike but this time I have to take issue with “dinosaurs making a smart decision”.  Do you really think they have been weighing off the pros and cons in serious meetings and came to that smart conclusion or are there ulterior motives? How long before we see the geniuses at the ministry of tourism touting reprehensible callous slogans worldwide like: “come to Thailand for your abortion and enjoy our food and beaches”?

No you won't. Bragging about jumping the queue because of connections. That comes off as very unethical.

They saw you coming didn’t they? From last week on you can walk into Bamrungrad any daysnyy time and get a Moderna booster shot for Bht 1,600

I use Nord:   https://nordvpn.com/

 

Sign up for around 100 baht per month, easy to use.  You just choose which country to want to be in from a drop down menu and - voila - that's where you are.  I use mine mainly for watching UK TV but it also has its other uses.  ???? 

 

Tried that about 2 years ago.  Works fine until it doesn't.  They even refunded me.

Just got my first AZ jab at Bumrungrad this morning.  Congratulations to them.  The service was fast, efficient, friendly, in short: professional.  Can’t wait for the second dose.

All you need is a vpn and tune into the U.K. channels it’s that simple

But of course, silly of not to think of this obvious solution.  Oh and thanks for the in-depth guidelines.

I just checked my preferred online grocery and they import them from France. 

 

I saw some video on YouTube and I agree it looks very productive. 

Thank for not naming the online grocery, really helpful.

I'd buy an elite visa in a flash if I was allowed to keep my work permit.  Unfortunately for reasons unknown you can't work with a EV. 

Not having to give 51% of your money to some Thai the moment you walk into this country would be a start.

It just never seizes to amaze me how you Brits just can't get past the Hun characterization (no I am not German) when, at the same time, you fawn all over your royal family who are as German as sauerkraut (with the odd Greek thrown in for good measure).  Baffling. 

The appropriate visa AND Let's not forget the elephant in the middle of the room: work permits.  Yes they will need one

So what? It is hh debt not National Debt. ND is I believe at 45% of GDP. Very healthy indeed so stop the scaremongering. US’s is at 100% and Japan’s at 200%. Just ask yourself the question: if you were making say 1mln (your personal GDP) each and every year, would you be worried if the bank lent you 1mln? Of course not. People are blinded by the sheer figures. Ooh the US is 20 trillion in debt, conveniently forgetting that the US’s GDP IS also 20 trillion iow the US earns 20 trillion each and every year (and growing). So TV stop wingeing about Somchai’s debt levels. They are his and only his problem

Google allows me to download offline maps of other countries but I am unable to open the downloaded map. Anybody else has the same experience? Gabe the military clowns banned this feature?

Is that you with the beard Rooster?

Why on earth are you all still living there???
Comply or Leave...easy.
Its almost like a communist country of the 50s/60s.
Take your money out of Thailand and spend elsewhere [emoji2][emoji2][emoji2]

The latter is easier said than done. Tried to wire out some hard-earned money last week and received the highly professional reply: “too mut”. So I have to divide it into smaller amounts that they deem acceptable and submit one each day. This despite the fact that the minister of finance himself announced last week that in order to weaken the all-mighty Baht outward remittance requirements would be relaxed. Go figure

So let me get this straight. If I take one of my bike trips from CM to, say KK for a couple of days, when I come home, my wife has to file a TM 30, even though we have been living here for over 10 years? 

Yep
