It was about 30 years after Heparin was introduced they discovered it could affect the platelets causing the "very rare blood clots" that became a concern with the covid vaccines. I thought it had been discontinued.

I had something similar on the web app a couple of months ago. I got round it by opening the Login button in another tab. Problem disappeared after a few weeks. I think Lazada have changed their software support and there is some program changes being implemented, and not for the better. The translation on the English text has certainly gone downhill.

It may come as a surprise to you but the "job" of every IO in the world is to establish the credibility of those trying to enter the country. It is certainly not up to keyboard warriors to question how they do "their" job and just keep praying the Thais never take lessons from UK immigration.

Tell me, which Thais are talking about apartments. The understanding of "apartment" will be influenced by a persons home country. There are no condos where I come from, they are called flats, studios or apartments. Airbnb, probably the largest accommodation provider in the world, is an American based company that lists condos as apartments, even here in Thailand. Of course you are perfectly free to see that as misrepresentation.

Agreed, In 20 odd years I have only ever seen an American breakfast offered as a choice. The best buffet I have come across was the Holiday Inn in Pattaya. They had back bacon, sausages that did taste a bit English and eggs cooked to order. Think they had the fried tomatoes and beans but you will struggle to find black pudding and the English kind of mushrooms served up in a hotel for breakfast.

It is not to do with the length of stay, but the number of rooms. If more than 4 rooms the owner must have a hotel license for short term stays. As far as condos are concerned, it was ruled that the total number in the block would be used rather than individual ownership. In other words someone with a single condo would need the license. As far as legality is concerned it has nothing to do with Airbnb, the legal position is nation wide and applies to everyone letting out property.

Not correct. There is nothing "usual" about apartments, the term is interpreted differently from country to country. Airbnb list Houses, Apartments, Guesthouses and Hotels. I have rented many apartments, including here in Thailand and have never seen one listed without a kitchen.

You need to be a bit more careful with the wording, you meant "income" route as it is not necessarily a pension. As you say a bank letter is also required for the income route, or has been at my office for many years. I also use Chonburi Immigration, at Sri Ratcha. You are certainly right on one point, many on here that have never done something make out they an expert based on hearsay. However it doesn't do any good to get wound up, at the end of the day they are the ones with the stamp in their hand.

The popup on the E-visa website appears to have dropped off the bottom, it was there when I did mine a few weeks ago. Bangkok, 17 June, 2022 – Thailand’s Centre of COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) today approved the removal of the Thailand Pass registration scheme and an US$10,000 health insurance requirement for foreign visitors, effective 1 July, 2022. Both requirements were initially removed for Thai nationals from 1 June, 2022. https://www.tatnews.org/2022/06/thailand-pass-registration-scheme-to-be-lifted-from-1-july-2022/

Garbage, all electric shock is basically the same, electric current passing through the body. How any electric shock feels will depend on the level of current which is to a certain extent dependent on the supply source, contact resistance and what part of the body it passes through. It was common practice for electricians to test the supply by putting 2 fingers across live and neutral. The real danger comes when the current passes through the heart. Static is effectively a discharge so only instantaneous, as is a shock from a capacitor. When I was at school 3 lads from the year below me were watching cricket when the rain came. They took shelter under a tree and the tree was struck by lightning, 2 died and the survivor was found naked without a hair on his body. He told me later it felt like his feet were on fire and then hit over the head with a hammer. The conclusion was his clothes had been wet enough to offer a lower resistance path to the current.
