I have two Siglo cigar lighters which have not been used for a long time, and need a servicing. The problem is that, even when the flame adjuster is turned to it's lowest level, the flame is too high. I would be grateful if someone could recommend an outlet in Bangkok or Phuket that can do a quality service to both lighters. Because it could be the outlet valve that was blocked by dust / cigar ash, I blew the outlet valve clean by a small jet of compressed air and tried again. I also bled the lighter, and clicked a few times on the lighter when it was empty, then filled up gas again, then turned the flame adjuster to lowest setting. The flame was still too high. Yellow lighter: with the flame adjuster set to the lowest, the flame is still too high. There are 3 outlet valves, two are lighting fully, but the third is only a very small flame. I have just re-filled it, and now the flames are much too high for the lighter to be used. Retro lighter: with the flame adjuster set to the lowest, the gas shoots out from the outlet valve in a long jet about 15 cm. Because of this, it is impossible to use. I would be grateful for any further advice you could offer, especially about getting the lighters serviced in Phuket or Bangkok. Many thanks!

Thanks Joe for your quick response, and for supplying the necessary form - much appreciated.

My friend has been issued with a 60 Tourist Visa, and will enter Thailand with CoE next week. He has a Thai bank account with the necessary THB 800,000 inside, and wishes to apply to change to a Non Immigrant O Visa. Is this able to be done, if he enters using a 60 Tourist Visa? Thank you for constructive replies and assistance.

Hello, There has been much confusion about whether the Astra Zeneca vaccination received in Thailand is recognised in UK. On the website: Quarantine and testing if you've been in an amber list country - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) it states: Approved vaccines You must have been fully vaccinated under one of the following programmes: UK vaccine programme overseas, approved by the MHRA My question is: Is the Thai AZ program approved by UK? Seemingly later in the same website, it seems to assert that two doses of AZ received overseas is accepted by UK: What counts as fully vaccinated You may not be considered to be fully vaccinated for the purpose of entering the UK even if you’re considered to be fully vaccinated in your country of origin. In the UK, ‘fully vaccinated’ means you’ve had either: 2 doses of an approved 2 dose vaccine (such as Pfizer or AstraZeneca) one dose of an approved single dose vaccine (such as Janssen) You must have had your final dose at least 14 whole days before you arrive in England. The day you had your final dose does not count as one of the 14 days. I am aware that Thailand is considered a 'red zone' currently requiring quarantine for arrivals in UK, but this will not always be the case. Can we therefore have some clarity obout whether the Thai Astra Zeneca program approved by UK, and (once Thailand is out of the 'Red Zone') we can freely enter UK showing our fully vaccinated Astra Zeneca Certificate?
