Hi Are there any diving places open? With a beach vibe, bungalows and a few people around. Whats going on in covid times?

I have a budget of about 40k a month for accomodation. I would like a nice place on the beach maybe with divers hanging out, beach bars etc. Basically not near high rise hotels . Any ideas during covid times?

I have seen a number of articles stating that those who had two sinopharm shots can get a booster shot. In chiang mai they are offering only Astra as the booster In Pattaya can i get a third sinopharm as the booster? Any ideas? thank you

Hi I was wondering if anyone here has AMG C43 and what are your experiences of owning one in Thailand? Is this a good choice vs alternatives for same price and how about depreciation better buy second hand? thank you

Has anyone noticed recent problems with Kasikorn and delays with getting money from overseas (Transferwise) Thanks

So it looks like Evergrande is not getting bailed out. What will the knock on effect be in Thailand?

Has Thailand conducted any research into the efficacy of Sinopharm (not sinovac) Sinopharm is the only vaccine I am considering since I dont trust mRNA technology, necessarily, It seems by Israel study that the Phizer only works for a few months < 6 months without "boosters". Ill take the Sinopharm as its the one based on regular tech / inactivated virus, so seems relatively risk free?

Due to a low turnout amoungst "expats" they are likely giving to any "foreigner" now...

Here in Chiang Mai the government are giving out free vaccines for "foreign, non-residents" in vulnerable groups, over 60's and over 100kg and with medical conditions. I am wondering if Burmese in these groups are entitled to free vaccines? They were, after all, donated by the USA for foreign non residents where i doubt very much they are able to discriminate further on racial or nationality grounds? So if you know a Burmese or Indonesian "foreign non resident" in the vulnerable group get them to walk in asking for the free vaccine. If refused, that would be an interesting story.

Unfortunately many of the insurance brokers are crooks and will sell you whats best for them, commission wise, and not for you. Choosing the health insurance could be the most important decision of your life

aliens?

Hi I am currently with ACS insurance. I am 40 and have been in thailand 20 years and expect to spend another 40 years here possibly I worked out this would cost me over $100,000 in insurance payments. I was wondering if anyone can suggest an insurance that will insure my health until i am very old whereby i get a large discount for a large deductible. Thanks
