Simple answer to that. If elderly people want to protect themselves from Covid, then let them do so in whichever way(s) they choose.

I totally agree with your statement, the wearing of masks should be a personal choice, plus the world does need to move on.

My point is only that an opinion such as yours should be one of personal choice as you have stated but not out of ignorance,. which seems to be more the pattern here. Surprising, considering the age of posters here.

 I have stated previously i know a number of acquaintances that have died from Covid not even in there 60's.

I guess it comes down to the fact that when you don't see the outcomes of such a disease you form a completely different opinion.

Cats are not vermin but do kill rats and snakes.

From my observation in the village, cats, by there own inquisitive nature rarely survive more than 12 months. the only ones that survive are the ones that actually have responsible owners that actually look after them well. Most only have half, or a broken tail. maybe in their efforts to escape  being attacked and eaten by the dogs (not just strays

In 8 years in a village i have only seen one cat that has survived more than 2 years and it literally does not leave its owners side following her everywhere

If i remember correctly the process is very simple if the child is over 7 years old, as mentioned, however, depending on the amphoe can be as low as 5 (no need to go to family court)

I need to edit this as it is done in the family court but can be done by yourselves at a minimal cost. sorry for misleading information, too late for me to edit

It is a Kor Ror 11 that a Amphoe issues after it is proved you are the legal father of you child. The normal minimum age to get one done is 7 years

Thank you Ubonjoe This topic arose in January when i wished to get a yearly extension based on parental guardianship. You are correct on the 7 years but others have done it as low as 5 years. Not sure if it was the same discussion but someone mentioned they got the forms done for as little as 500Bt. I think i mentioned then, a lot was lost in translation but it did not change the fact that the process would take about 1 month. The main point to come out of it was that it was not necessary to pay extortionate lawyer fees and go through the family court

I will go through the post you have highlighted as i do need to be better prepared next time

Is the document from our local office "registration of child legitimisation"? and is it possible in 1 day?

I believe the document you refer to is a kor nor 11

This year i went to do exactly the same as yourself however i left it too late to do all the paperwork

 Immigration stated the whole procedure would take approx 1 month to complete. You might be able to get the Kor nor 11 within 1 day but it still needs to be verified as i understood it.

This entailed it being sent somewhere and the waiting period was approximately i month.

I had just over 1 week left of my visa and they categorically stated, no way it would happen in that time period.

on my return this year i will start the process as soon as i arrive on my 3 month visa 

If i remember correctly the process is very simple if the child is over 7 years old, as mentioned, however, depending on the amphoe can be as low as 5 (no need to go to family court)

Pre flight PCR achieves nothing, even with a negative test you could become positive between time of test and time of flight.

 

Whilst i agree that one may still test positive between time of test and flight surely the airlines must  have a responsibility to protect their passenger's from any form of sickness.

Due to the variant being extremely contagious would you really want to get on a flight ( in close proximity with others) with a high possibility that you would also become infected and have your holiday ruined for at least a week.

I have caught, what they would determine a mild case of covid,  and although its bearable you have a very sore throat for 3 days , normal cold symptoms and generally tired for maybe 5 days.

The common symptom's normally associated with Covid are,  in a lot of cases no longer found,.

I was informed of this as i had none of them.

If not married you need a proof of you being the legal father by way of a family court of it they are 7 older it can be done at a Amphoe to obtain a  Kor Ror 11 form.

Info about being the legal father of you child can be found in this pinned topic on the family and children forum.

Wow, Thanks Ubon for the info and link.

We are not married but my son is 6 years old (in your link some have stated that they will except this age)so i am going to take a trip to the Amphoe to see if they will except his consent plus the head of the village has said he will come there if it is necessary for him to sign anything

Once again thank you 

Searched for an answer on here but the search engine here is useless and cannot find a definitive answer elsewhere

I arrived in Thailand on a dependent non 'O' visa in regards to being a parent of a Thai national.

I went to extend the visa for 12 months even though i still had to leave but felt it makes things a lot simpler each year just extending as i already had 800,000 baht from my expired OA extension

They state i need some sort of guarantee that i am the parent. I am not sure but i believe this is some sort of letter from the Amphur as i have read something like this before some time ago.

Does anyone know exactly what is the process and what is needed at the Amphur?

It is too late now as they have also stated it will take them up to a month to process it once they have the documents and i will of left the country but i would like to get what's needed in preparation for later this year

Can anyone give me experience/cost of getting PEA to install poles, cable, transformer (if necessary) meter, for a 220volt 3 phase supply over this distance. A ball park figure is sufficient.

I am building a house in Surin and just got a quote to supply electric to my house that is not yet built.

The company has registered the house etc, even though nothing is there yet and will start installing in 2 days. 

They are using 3 poles over a distance of approx 100 metres and have stated it will take approx 3 days to complete at a cost of 18500 baht

What is confusing is that they state that they are installing the 30Amp supply which is the highest you can get but i have no idea what they mean by this as it is still a single phase supply as missus states there is going to be 2 wires

Wouldn't it be safer for your ageing mom to stay at home and you do the shopping for her?

Yes it would but it’s a long way to go from Thailand to the UK every week and works out very expensive.

Even whilst in the UK,It was hard enough to convince her to stop shopping for everyone  else (half her age) even before she was vaccinated. My mother is and always will be very independent. Still driving now at 84.
I only but wish she would listen to your own advice and let me do it

I got it from the BBC in an article published 2 or 3 days ago. I posted the link here yesterday I think. Feel free to find it.

90% or not, What I did find interesting was the number of 12-15 years old that had been vaccinated as (1) I was not aware they had even rolled out a vaccination and my tenants gave me indication to suspect otherwise (2) before it was being suggested everyone I knew said they were going to refuse it for their children.

The problem lies in the fact that in an average class of 30 pupils at least 3 or more will not be vaccinated and may well be different from region to region

Everyone had got used to wearing masks in stores and then suddenly they stopped it !!!!!
I noticed that mask wearing had decreased about 40%- 50% in supermarkets I frequent. Tesco have now finally forced the issue this week by declaring that no one will be allowed in without a mask so that my ageing mother can shop in safety????

I've countered this point many times. In fact you "liked" a post of mine yesterday that explains that non vaxx doesn't explain the surge in the UK (as c90% are vaxxed). The same case could be made for other vaxxed countries.

 

 

I don’t know where you get 90% from but that’s not true, maybe close to the total adult population ?
The problem the UK has, is that the youth are not bothering to getting vaccinated, plus school children remain unvaccinated and continue to spread the virus to both other children and their parents. The so called herd immunity does not work in these circumstances. I have a rented property where the children have got covid twice now and had to isolate but parents refuse to get vaccinated

From my viewpoint everyone should have the right to not be vaccinated, but you have to except the consequences of your actions and like the cases in the USA why should anyone employee you and put their business and other employees at risk just because of one persons belief.  It’s a two way street

They might not be issuing them if arriving on/after November 1st. I am sure they are being issued and application accepted if entering before the 1st.

i am arriving from UK on the 4th Nov but still got issued COE 2 days ago under the sandbox scheme.

I was hoping i could leave Phuket after 2 days under the new rules, i don't get why the sandbox scheme should not be any different from the new rulings when they come into force.

who must produce negative COVID-19 tests before and after arrival, plus COVID-19 insurance cover of at least $50,000.

i don't know exactly what they are charging in a hospitel if you are positive with no symptoms.

i have read about 150K baht but many insurance companies will now only cover for up to 5/6k per day for 14 days including the emirates insurance.

They need to stop the extortionate rip off cost of both the hospitels and the Covid insurance packages.

Imagine a Chinese bus tour and one of the passengers gets covid, are they then going to quarantine the whole bus?

If asymptomatic people need to be able to quarantine it needs to be at an acceptable cost and not in a rip off hospitel, making insurance affordable, or no tourists are coming.

Like smartphones, can you even buy a dumb TV now.  I have a smart TV, but don't use the 'smart' features.  Basically use it as a monitor for my laptop.  Not a TV / subscriber / streaming kind of guy.  Do torrents (movies & series). 

Practically the whole of your post could of been written by me

Can you even buy a non smart TV over 32"?

I could not believe the price of our 55" TV 20 months ago and will probably get a 65" for our new house next year

A must for any smart TV owners must be a wireless keyboard and mouse if you really wish to use the internet

let foreigners pay into the Thai health system - solved

To start paying into the Thai health system at the sprightly age of 60+ is hardly going to be cost effective for Thailand.

If, as they say, you can get insurance from your own country and not have to use their specified insurance companies,  i suspect it would offset any increase and probably work out cheaper

I happen one of those tourists who intend to travel to Thailand early November (6th to be precise) through the Phuket Sandbox and then Bangkok in order to experience a relatively quite Thailand.

Join the club i am flying on the 3rd Nov. Had already changed my accommodation from 2 weeks to 1 week      (some people would of booked the non refundable hotels so would have no options). Presently waiting on  COE to come through. Tests, paid for obviously.(their not going to give me a refund) Too late in the day to change everything

I will just be glad to be back in Thailand and not miss another of my son's birthdays

My only real gripe is that i am on the other side of Thailand. As soon as i arrive i will be planning my flight to Don Muang airport . taxi to Mochitt bus station and finally the bus to Surin. Hopefully i can organise it in a few days (will depend on flight availability)
