We , at my MIL’s funeral, had relatives from 2 miles away that none of her 6 children knew?

Yes indeed, and this is what makes the current situation untenable.

Place their names on a list, when they acquire Covid, simply advise that they will not benefit from free health-care, but must pay all private charges. Our local hospital is working 6 days a week giving vaccines, I as a Farang received my 2 doses locally, and free of charge. There is no excuse for not being vaccinated.

Off course they do, old chap, it is the language of the international jet set doncha know.

The old ladies who work in our local wet market have been discussing where to go this Christmas, looks like Gstaad or Mauritius will get their vote.

Therefore it makes showing the bank book superfluous.

Keep the noise down please, these hammocks do not swing by themselves.

There is the problem in a nutshell, people on low or no incomes spending 100 baht a time in search of happiness, or spending less on a daily basis,20 baht or so, but 7 days a week underground lottery.

How anyone who is in full time employment would consider traveling here over the festive period is beyond me. The risks of being detained here upon arrival, with all the associated costs, but more importantly, they are risking losing their job, if unable to return home in time to start work.

Good luck with that, Thailand Doctors do not like being challenged.

All received AstraZeneca .

My Thai relatives are so completely scared about Covid, yet they are all double vaccinated, due to excellent work by local hospitals. They are also scared of ghosts.

A common occurrence here in-deepest Issan.

.Agreed. My Mazda 2 has a switch on the dashboard to toggle on and off, mine is permanently off.

Anyone experiencing trouble watching VOD with HD Prime. TV is OK.

This one statement sums up Thailand so succinctly .

I have a solid metal head (round) with 2 holes which take your choice of polypropylene cord, I use 2mm, you cut the cord to length insert via a gate which holds the cord in place. Much safer around the house than a blade. it takes seconds to reload and being solid metal, lasts much longer than the plastic bump type.

Would this refer to a lemongrass tea product ?, I bought a packet, at the same I bought a peach tea packet, there were 20 peach tea sachets, but only 8 of the lemongrass . The external packaging does actually show the package contains 8 sachets, very clever internal packaging. I got both at less than half-price.

Will Immigration offices(Nong Khai) be inundated with extension requests at the end of September. Thinking particularly about Lao nationals. My extension of stay ends 29th , plan attending on the 22nd.

I find that our locals “shout” rather than merely talk loudly, even when standing next to each other.

You can see why this gentleman rose to the position of Governor.

Yes I get the “too big, too big” spiel, every time, it is becoming tiresome. Standing in a 7/11, a 4 year old Thai boy, looked up at me and shouted to his Mum, “Mum , a giant “, I am only 187cm, and about 69kg.
