I've also used my Thai drivers license. However, if you're traveling and checking into a hotel, the hotel seems to always want the passport.
Only once in 10 years has a hotel demanded to see my passport and not accepted my driving licence.
I just went to a different hotel very nearby

I get the same message every time for the last 2 years.
Usually a minimum of 5-7 day's for me and it doesn't make a difference which UK bank I send from or which Thai Bank I receive it in

The border has been open many months. Recently, the requirement for proof of vaccination and/or Covid test has been dropped. You can get several classes of Visa from the Thai consular section in Vientiane., but need an appointment (see https://www.thaivisavientiane.com/)
My friend had to show vaccine certificate last week to enter Laos

Thank you for that suggestion, I am not really a big bar person, just like a beer with my food, I would enjoy a glass of wine also, but good luck with that in most places. LOL. My main point in my original reply is not about the inability to get a drink with my meal, as much as I might not like it, I can live with thar. It has more to do with the governing attitude in Thailand and the two class system that fosters that attitude IMO,
It did not mind not being served , as much as I did not being served when others were, I know it is a defect in my personality but I have a hard time adjusting to a second class citizen status .I though I could but it irks me.

I fully understand and agree with you, the annoying thing is covid is the excuse for everything.
There is no consistency or logic in any of the enforcement. I live here so have to put up with it but always find ways to get around these types of issues 555

I am not a big drinker, but when we go out to diner, I enjoy a cold beer with my spicy food. Where is the covid danger in that?
I get it, some people go out , drink too much, become more irresponsible than they already are, and contribute to the spread of the virus and I get that many bars try to get around the restrictions by rebranding themselves as restaurants, but why not protect against that behavior, instead of implementing a blanket restriction?
The answer is easy. Laziness !! a lot easier to implement blanket restrictions than targeted responses.
A few months ago we were out in a restaurant on Khon Kaen , and asked the waitress if we could have a beer or was it still restricted. The waitress with a sad smile said that we could not, and we understood,
Not her fault, I am sure she would be more than happy to sell us a beer if she could.
As we sat there enjoying our meal with out the benefit of a beer, a crowd of man came in , and as they ordered their food, they were served a number of mouth watering cold beers.
I kid you not, If I am lying may god strike me dead!!
"What gives" I asked my wife already suspecting the answer.
"Oh they must be some higher ups" she said as naturally as breathing.
I think I can pin point the moment that I decided that Thailand was not for me anymore was then and there.
Why should the "higher ups" go to the trouble of implementing targeted responses, did these responses affect them?
The beer ban is one small cut, I get it. But there is such a thing as death by a thousand cuts I think as I type this 3:30 am because the howling dogs wake my up and I cant go to sleep.
Why do anything about all these dogs? it's probably vey quite where the "Higher ups" live , and I am sure they dot need to grow roosters to eat.
April 3rd I am out of here and I cant wait.
The Thai bars will serve you no problem and half the price of ferrang bars, I was there Tuesday night!

All these figures but they never show how many were tested, only ever hear of positive results.
Was it 1% or 100% of the tests that were positive?

You don't say what handicap you are playing off but like previous comments clubs are expensive here and also beware of being sold copies.
Unless you are a low single figure hc the difference between any relatively recent clubs will be negligible.
Get the timing correct and hit the ball sweet and it will go well.
Get that part wrong and it does not matter what type of ball or club you use.
When you're good enough to create backspin and shape a ball then the different balls and clubs can make a difference.
