The current capacity as of yesterday below. White/right hand side shows % available and full number of beds in each category. It's not good but not quite as bad as the Post made out.
Vaccinated or test to enter is the official rules. That said, driving you'll likely not be checked. The checkpoint on the Superhighway has now been dismantled.
The Four and Twenty pies in Rimping are insanely expensive.
You can order pies Aussie pies from Tinnies Pies in Jomtien and get them shipped to Chiang Mai. Really good authentic pies and sausage rolls and a decent size.
Not a great example - there's never been 25,000 cases in Chiang Mai. It only ticked over 8,000 total this week.
Why would Chiang Mai want Bangkok's cases? there's only so many beds to go around. This time, as opposed to April, we've been lucky.
Semantics perhaps but there was never a formal ban. The government prohibited inter-provincial transport options to limit the spread but you could still travel between provinces, some with their own testing and/or quarantine requirements.
Taxi/transport drivers made a killing in August - they were charging 6,000 baht up to 10,000 baht for a one way drive to and from Chiang Mai nd Bangkok.
It has never been a "grey zone" - it's a legal requirement that if you're working in Thailand you need an appropriate visa and work permit.
Do authorities care that much if you're working online for a foreign company - no, you can even read what the Chiang Mai Employment Office says about it.
But when they care it's still 100% illegal - enjoy the jail time. Rare but it has happened.
Where did you get 50 and up from? that was last week.
The shots on Monday are 45 and up.
