    Yes.. they usually charge about 200 baht for a replacement ATM which can be replaced / renewed at any Branch with Photo ID (Passport) and Bank Book. 

     

     

    Ops card has expired, it's a free swap for a new one. Source - had mine just about to run out and got a new one about a month ago. If the card is lost, however, 400 baht for a MC, might be less for a Union Pay card. 

  2. Had 3BB for about four years and switched earlier this year to True - True had a better offer both in price and what they threw in including a Sim with unlimited data on top of the Fiber 1,000/500 broadband connection. Both work fine - 3BB does have HBO Go but I found except for a few programs I barely used it. Haven't had any issues with True.

    But Moderna was never free.

    And at the time I got it, it was considered most efficient.

    I am not up to a fourth shot considering the low risk by another infection 

    Maybe some places don't have it but it has been free in Chiang Mai since it became available and fairly sure it's free in Bangkok as well.

  4. Interesting question. That they are being sold does not necessarily make them legal.

     

    Below are the links to the laws banning hookah pipes. Notably, it describes a hookah as water pipe of Arabic or similar design... used for the inhalation of smoke." Obviously a bong is not a hookah but you could roughly argue it is a somewhat similar design used to inhale smoke.

    Must be a little chilly for them up there.  I see them daily down here.  Literally 100s, and quite annoying at times.  Down right aggressive if they think you have food in your hands or bag, as they will attack.

     

    A few that hang out up your way:

    Good reference site for critters in TH:

    The reason that there are very few to no monkeys in the north is that historically the locals ate them all.

  6. Whether your landlord or you do the TM30 - and you can do it yourself in CM Immigration, make sure you get a printed copy of the receipt. If the landlord does it online, get a printout of the confirmation. CM Immigration always looks for the TM30 slip even thought they could, if they wanted to, look it up on a computer. 

     

    And as noted in other comments above, CM Immigration has fined people for not having a TM30 on file before. Irrelevant of some of the comments above about how it should all be on the landlord, CM immigration doesn't care. If your landlord doesn't do it, do it yourself.

    This month very dry in Chiang Mai, the lack of rain seems to coincide with the arrival of the "rainy season".

    You seem to forget the considerable flooding in CM a month ago. June has been somewhat dryer than expected and yet the rainfall in May was twice the annual average. In fact, it started raining in March this year.

  8. Might want to check the date of the link. They've been here several years. Although lots of people swear by them, I've never used them as there are never any vehicles near where I live in San Sai whereas there always vehicles with Grab.
