I think that makes 12 states now that have women governors. And 38 states where dinner will be served on time. ????

PM sent.

If you have two middle names......you have no middle name. ????

Have you looked at airbnb.com? I just did a mythical search for 1Jun-31Jul in Chiang Mai for a 3 bedroom abode and got 174 potential airbnb rentals. I didn't enter any other factors into the filters (i.e., price, kitchen, pool, etc.) so results will vary based upon your individual requirements. Best of luck and safe travels.

Ordering food delivery is not lazy....it's "pro-business". ????

I don't believe this to be true. The inoculation that my friend had was the second dose of the primary series (not a booster) and it is annotated as such. The second dose, like the first dose, is a full dose. As mentioned previously, the cost was 600 thb.

Correct. That was the previous price, recently reduced (apparently). (I personally saw the bill yesterday and it was 600 thb.)

A Thai friend of mine received a Moderna booster yesterday at CM Ram for 600 thb. Not free but not particularly expensive either.

I spent a good portion of the last year in Los Cabos, Mexico which I find compares quite favorably with Thailand. Climate is actually better, food and drink better quality for not much more money, great beaches, easy lifestyle. And yes, quite safe. I'm back in Thailand now but Los Cabos may be my March/April/May getaway locale, if not my permanent landing spot in the not too distant future.

Thank you for the refreshingly helpful response.

Are you certain you responded to the post for which you intended? I wasn't asking about an email system nor was I asking about your choice in undergarments.

Is there an exception to the 90 day reporting clock when one converts from a visa exempt entry to a non-O, i.e., the initial conversion date to the non-O "counts" as a 90 day report? Or is one still required to file a 90 day report using the visa exempt entry date? I seem to recall past discussion revolving around something like this but can't remember the exact details.

Bx2 + L = Bangkok Bank Limited (Well, it could be. Apparently not what OP meant though, lol.)

The SS COLA is now predicted to be approx 10.5% for 2023. https://www.newsweek.com/social-security-benefits-cola-huge-increase-inflation-1728388

At one point in my career, I had three separate passports from the same country. Tourist, government, and diplomatic.

"A Thai man, who may be infected with monkeypox, was sent from Thalang Hospital in Phuket to Vachira Phuket Hospital this afternoon (Tuesday) for tests and diagnosis. The ambulance arrived at the emergency ward of the hospital at about 3.55pm and doctors immediately began the diagnosis. No further details about the condition of the man are available at the time of this report." https://www.thaipbsworld.com/thai-man-at-hospital-in-phuket-with-suspected-monkeypox-diagnosis-pending/

I realize you're having a laugh but the actual answer to that question is: "On Thursday, police detected his cell phone signal in Aranyaprathet district of Sa Kaeo province and suspected that he would attempt to sneak into Cambodia through one of the natural border crossings." Narrows down the geographic probability considerably.

Lead story in today's Bangkok Post states that Bangkok alone has reached over 10,000 new cases daily (and that Bangkok accounts for approx 1/2 of the nation's daily infections.) Doctors in the article estimate that the BA5 wave will peak by the end of August.

I think you can go to just about any Bangkok Bank branch that you want. I was in Airport Plaza about a week ago and popped into the Bangkok Bank there to change the phone number on my account. No problem whatsoever.

I extended a visa exempt entry last Tuesday. Arrived at approx 0915, done by 1030.

Self-edit. Not worth the effort.

Regarding the "cultural consideration" comment, a reminder that it was the Thai government that told us we aren't required to wear masks. It's become an individual choice - as it should be - and no one should be castigated for making whatever individual choice in the matter one makes. Those are the conditions created by the current leaders of the Thai populace so claiming it's some sort of cultural affront when one makes a choice with which you disagree is misguided, IMO.

If one needs CPR, one probably shouldn't be traveling in the first place. ????

For those traveling by air. there is no longer any mention in IATA (the database that airlines use) of either Thailand Pass or an insurance requirement for entries after 1 July.
