My last 2 have come from Robinsons.  Sealy posturpedic, firm with soft topper.

But mattresses are like women, every one likes something  different that is why they make so many options.

The Power of the CC..... I learnt that a long time ago when dealing with so many Goverment departments--in another life.

 

You write back to them TomKorat33, appealing against the decision ---questioning the decision, stating why your wife should be allowed, and you CC the letter to the Embassy's  Ambassador/your Congress-Person/ your Senator/your Local newspaper....etc ...etc 

You dont even need to send it to half the people you have written CC at the end of your letter.

 

Everyone in these sort of organizations has to cover their bottoms-- I have lived and dealt with government dept in 4 different countries--

 

Trust me you will get a response.

 

 

I will agree with this.  I call it going nuclear. 

A congressman or senator phone call to State will get more done in shortest amount of time than any thing known.  No one wants to be subject of congressional inquiry for any reason.  No low to middle level government employee wants any attention what so ever from higher ups.

And if your congressman is in an election year great and wonderous things can be achieved.

Professional = Make money

"We" have never had control of sport, control has always gone to the highest bidder.

At one time or another I have tried most every home herbal remedy for BP.  Some have impact some do not, for me anyway.  I believe Nacin, Magnesium and organic apple cider vinegar to be most affective for me personally.

However, this is only a "band aid", there is no substitute for getting off my a$$ for daily exercise and limiting food intake to get rid of the chubby body.

YMMV

General experience dictates anything that is an exception, slight difference or out of the norm will be a problem when dealing with any government bureaucracy, especially so in Thailand.

YMMV

OK, so let's assume that the numbers being spouted off about incoming tourists are correct and its @30,000+ for each of November and December. That should mean that - assuming that they are all tourists and non-returners, family etc - that 30,000 tourists will be in the country at any one time if they stay for up to a month. 

 

At 30,000 tourists - many of whom will not stay in BKK - it is not enough to support the cautiously optimistic people mentioned in this story. If anything it will drive more out of business for foolishly opening based on ridiculous promises by the PM and his crew before instigating Thai pass madness and making it even worse.

 

 

They need 20,000 to 30,000 per day, each and every day to have any impact on the whole.

But it sounds good to say Thailand is open........

My math says 12,043 foreigners. At least the number noted, not 20k.

But I have been wrong often.....

OK, Monday was "successful."  Anyone see reported numbers for Tuesday?

Inquiring minds.....

There has been an invention called a "lift."  There is even a specialty "lift" developed exactly for occasions such as this open and capable of holding one wheel chair occupant.

i would offer it most likely more economical and certainly not as monumental effort required to install as the current "ramp."

How is the strike going?  Still on or is all back to normal?

Sounds like they also experienced a lack of vehicles to transport the arrivals. Glad it was only 3k plus and not the 7k or 30k.  God forbid it was 100k, folks would still be waiting today to get to where they needed to go for their quarantine....ugly

Do the hotels not arrange for the quarantine transport???  They have been doing it since beginning, should be old hat by now.

I am actually surprised it is that high number on first flight.....

The first I've read of this.  You can't leave your zone for 7 days after arrival!  So not free to travel anywhere in Thailand.  And your first night has to be within 2 hours of where you land.  I'm guessing swampy.

Requirements:

• Travel by air from any country around the world.
• Stay the first 7 nights within one of the 17 Blue Zone Sandbox destinations if planning to continue the journey to other destinations in Thailand.

 

Oh, My goodness.   Just what every holiday reveler is looking for.

Thailand is open boys!!

I am not enticed.  This is not enticing me.......
