  1. If we foreigners think charges for westerners & others should not be the same, cant blame Thais for discriminating non-thais. Can we?
  2. Are you alleging our fearless leader to be campaigning on behalf of the LBs of beach road?
  3. Chinese hospitals & crematoriums are stretched for capacity. Thailand can always provide some spare capacity to big Bro, until demand for locals climb
  4. wont he make the perfect candidate for national leadership role? NOT
  5. This keeps getting better 1. Chinese vaccines for covid was found to be inferior, yet A nut in admits those vaccines as a requirement for entry into the kingdom 2. now the expert says, western strains would be more dangerous 3. what is the status of the 'tom yum vaccone' this chap was cooking!
  6. Ostrich is a creature where every part of the body is supposedly valuable in commercial terms & nothing goes to waste. I mean, don't insult the bird
  7. Now we understand how the medical tourism would soar https://thainewsroom.com/2023/01/05/thailands-medical-tourism-likely-to-soar-in-2023/
  8. Well, there are some parties who would benefit from instituting 'state of emergency'. No risk from elections
  9. not sure if this was a covid benefit, but 2021 & 2022 had minimal air pollution
  10. For those living around chang klan, we find it nice. quite a few restaurants, new italian (after georgio passed away), choei, curry place, bella goose, the food market has come back to life in the square across from the korean. The Peaks Soi has always been exquisite. The 3 condos there are still some of the best in town, Down CK road, you have shine condo & quite a few restaurants there. Astra is not always the go to, for most of the long timers. unfortunately, in early 2021, they did some roadworks between pantip & @ curve. very poor patch up.
  11. Shrimp buffets are being renovated and shrimps hoping out of the tanks in anticipation
  12. I was issued renewals after 2 years and subsequently after 5 years (in 2022) based on yellow tabien baan. no residence certificate was demanded. assume this varies from DLT offices
  13. correct As its termed these days, 'covid revenge travel' will taper during early 2023.
  14. Hope the airlines hire sufficient ground staff for customer care & luggage handling. Few trips to BKK during December, domestic flights were delayed ( 60-90 minutes delay on an hours flight, mostly during latter part of the day), followed by luggage delays in excess of 45 minutes. have seen pax scrambling for help, due to fear of missing international connections. Heard intl check in desk staff mumbling about lack of baggage handling staff!
  15. first 3-4 of those was sinovac/pharm, which has also been applied in large part of thai population
  16. Thailand could potentially lose tourists from other countries, should they not do some validation on chinese arrivals, as some of those countries can impose restrictions for travellers from Thailand.
  17. straightforward to buy on their website on the phone. we bought like an hour before the start
  18. Thais also consider Falangs, dirty... at least the official version
  19. Given diplomatic relationship between China & india, Thailand would have just been caught in it, probably trying to put a check on chinese transit pax
  20. This also means less indians would visit thailand, unless this testing is lifted
  21. Not gonna happen. if Chinese are isolated for requirements, our beloved leader would be whipped in public again
  22. Sinovac jabbed Chinese is said to be infected in droves, govt decides not to report stats of infections & deaths, instead let the population out of the country. Tons of Thais are also sinovac jabbed. Good Luck to all the ushers.
