Thanks for your advice on this subject, friends. All the places you mentioned are very convenient to me, so I'll be looking around at them. Cheers!

Thank you.

Hi. Could you please recommend a good delicatessan in Bangkok, mainly Sukhumvit area but any other area is okay. I'm especially looking for good pastrami and corned beef. Thanks.

I get fairly regular calls which is a recording in Thai saying that a package has come for me. I just hang up.

Hi. Since I’ve been in Thailand I’ve been unable to find an accurate bathroom scale. With these digital scales, I would weigh myself and get one number, then weigh myself a little later and get a different number. I’d like to get a nice, accurate mechanical scale or analog scale. Could anyone advise me on where to find these products in Bangkok? Thanks!

Hi. I just got back from the Mueang Thong Thani immigration office (90-day report division) and may be able to help some others who are having problems with 90-day reporting online. I had previously done my 90-day reporting by mail, but decided to do it online this time, following the same link as provided above. It seemed to be going well: I immediately received an email stating that “Your account has been successful created,” along with a password. Then I filled in the information needed for the TM.47 form. I filled in all the blanks marked with a red asterisk as “required.” I submitted this and then quickly received an email showing the TM.47 form filled out with the information I had just provided, together with the message: “We have received your information successfully,” plus a reference number and my passport number and nationality. About 24 hours later I was disappointed to receive an email stating: “Your application has been rejected.” So I decided to go to the Mueang Thong Thani immigration office today to do the 90-day report and try to find out the reason for the rejection. The immigration officer quickly processed my 90-day report, and then without my asking, he helpfully told me that the reason for my online rejection was that I had not provided the expiration date of my current stay. Yes, I thought, I also didn’t recall having provided that information. When I got back home I opened that 90-day report webpage and saw that there was a blank to fill in called “STAY VISA EXPIRE” (referred to in the passport as the “EXTENSION OF STAY PERMITTED UP TO” date). However, on the 90-day report webpage, there was no red asterisk beside that blank to indicate that it is required information. So, three months from now, I’ll try applying online again, this time providing the “STAY VISA EXPIRE” date. By the way, I have a NON-IMM Visa B and am in the middle of a one-year extension.

I used to enjoy having breakfast and watching the Super Bowl at Bourbon Street Restaurant on Soi Ekamai, Bangkok, pre-Covid. Hope they're still doing that.

Thank you for the suggestions. Raja's website looks good and I will try it.

Hi. Can anyone recommend a good tailor in Bangkok, preferably in the Sukhumvit area. Thanks.

Your timely mention of the Marie Celeste reminded me of great 1981 song "Marie Celeste" by the Neo-Rockabilly group the Polecats. Here's a Youtube link in case you haven't heard it:

I like Eristoff at 399 per liter.

Thank you, Sheryl and others who answered my question.

Hi. I wonder if any of our forum members can update this information on Pfizer shots at Rajavithi Hospital. I'd be interested in hearing whether anyone was successful at getting a shot there, or anything else you may have heard about that vaccination program.

Hi. I know that some posters on this forum have read quite a bit about the various Covid vaccines. Here’s a hypothetical question, please. Which is of these three situations do you think would be best? 2 shots of AZ + 1 Pfizer + 1 Moderna 2 AZ + 2 Pfizer 2 AZ + 2 Moderna

I live in Bangkok.

Hi, friends. As it’s been almost three months since my second dose of AstraZeneca, I’m looking to get a booster. I wonder if you know of any website(s) that give information on where booster shots are being given, especially Pfizer and Moderna. Thanks!

Thanks for the link to ExpatFoodsThailand. I was very impressed with their wide variety of food items. Would anyone know of a similar website but one that deals in a wide variety of American food products? Thanks.

Skatewash, thanks for reading and checking my message. As you guessed, I was instructed to contact my local immigration office (which is CW). You also helpfully mentioned that my previous 90-Day Reports might not have been entered into the system immigration uses to keep track of 90-Day Reports. I understand, and it's no real trouble for me to continue to mail in my 90-Day Reports. However, I'm thinking of asking the immigration officer about this when I go for my annual extension next year. I wonder if any other of our forum members has been in this situation and managed to get into immigration's online 90-Day Report system. Or perhaps visiting the dedicated 90-Day Report location in Muang Thong Thani might work....

Hi, folks. I just tried to make my 90-Day Report online for the first time, after years of reporting by mail. However, my online report was not accepted, so I’d like to request your advice, please, on possible mistakes that I may have made: For the blanks marked as required with *, I filled them all in. I also filled in blanks which I was not certain whether they were required, namely: Suffix (Mr.), First Name, and Middle Name. For my nationality and date of arrival, I used the drop-down boxes. I no longer have the Arrival part of the T.M.6 form, but I used the same number as is on the Departure part of the T.M.6 form (two letters and five numbers). I don’t have a record of my arrival flight number, so I left that field blank. I don’t know whether that is considered a required field. I’d appreciate if you would advise me if you see any mistakes I may have made. Thank you!

Thank you for your reply about using EMS, mtls2005.

Using EMS for return mail sounds like a good idea which I'd like to use for my next 90-day report. Did you put stamps for a certain amount on the return envelope?

Hi, just had my second AstraZeneca dose. Now I've received a message from a facility where I previously applied for Moderna, offering me a Moderna shot in 2nd Quarter 2022. Do you think it would be good idea to accept it?

Thanks, folks, for sharing your opinions and experiences on the question of AstraZeneca vs Pfizer for Jab #2. OP

Hi. My first Covid vaccine jab was AstraZeneca. I’ve heard that I might be able to choose between AstraZeneca and Pfizer for the second jab. Which of those two vaccines would you advise?
