Very good news! The only way to put an end to all this misery is to get everyone vaccinated.

I will take it as soon as it is given to me.

Nope not if Chinese or Russian

Lived in the village in Buriram for a couple of years. Bought land, built a house there. No real problems as such and I get on with all the family fine. Tend to keep out of the usual day to day dramas. I've loved seeing the land change over the past 15 years, the trees growing, shade increasing etc. And it's great to VISIT for a few days. 

 

Love to visit and chill out for a few days but there's no way I'd want to be there all the time. Some do like it though. If anything it's easier now. Internet coverage is good everywhere, Tesco 7km even has wine. When I first went the nearest atm was 30km away, and Korat was 90km for a baguette. 

 

Left for Bangkok after a couple of years, and then left Thailand nine years ago. 

 

Bought another house in Pranburi a few years ago and I love it there, as does my wife. I've always wondered about the ferrang in Issan, how many actually would choose to live there if it wasn't for their wives. I just don't see the attraction. I also find a lot of the landscape in Isaan boring compared to the south. Mile after mile of the same old flat land with intermittent changes of rice, rubber, and cassava. But if you like the quiet life.....

 

To the OP , heed the advice given by others. 

 

Don't rush into anything. Definitely don't buy or build for at least a year. Don't make any big purchases. Don't plan on making any money from farming. Look at it as a hobby.

 

Do look at other areas.

 

Do get to know the family.

 

My biggest positive about Isaan would be that the people are genuine, and honest, and fair enough. If anything a bit too honest in that they're naive in many ways. And friendly enough too. Definitely not out to rip you off as some would make out. 

 

So whatever you do. Good luck.

Isaan I tried for 4 years , Korat , Udon same ugly landscape , Boring , Not many Choices of restaurants especially Korat , now in Jomtien if I go anywhere it will be South of Thailand

Virus is spread by air transmission. Note cruise ships, hotels with central air con and how virus spread there. Curtains that don't reach ceiling or floor are about as effective as wearing a mask that doesn't cover your nose.

Every hospital has those. Curtains

Well there's a shock. Very few countries are buying this vaccine, which is largely ineffective, based on independent lab results: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2021/04/15/in-clinical-and-real-world-trials-chinas-sinovac-underperforms

 

I wouldn't put that in my arm if it was the only vaccine on the market.

 

I'm going to have to fly to the USA and risk my life to get a decent vaccine.

I’m booked for June

A new bunch of stoners giving excuses to get a weed prescription?

Before they legalized it in Calif. it was mostly skateboarders and snowboarders claiming fake pain.

I think all of it is a very bad idea that will just contribute to more problems, carnage on the roadways and elsewhere.

But your alcohol intake is fine lol

As Thailand will end up "possibly" like most countries that have had and still do have this UK variant, or "possibly" end up even worse as the roll out of vaccines is a shambles, one must look for other alternatives and I have read research papers stating that the Influenza and Pneumonia vaccines may assist in the fight against Covid, i.e. reducing the severity of the disease, after all, they are all respiratory diseases, albeit different, yes we know Covid is far worse effecting other organs as well, so might want to do your research and if you consider the evidence is viable, you might get a shot of one or both, i.e. after also seeing medical advice.

 

I cannot sit and wait for these bozo's to play with our lives, that and the AZ & J&J experimental vaccines are out for me, when and if the private hospitals get their hands on the mRNA vaccines, I might just pick one, i.e. if the numbers here are as high as I expect them to be by the end of the month.

Ivermectin is this available in Thailand a lot of people using for preventive care

I need to make a dental appointment on Tuesday in Bangkok. Any thoughts as to likelihood of being able to make a day trip in and out for that purpose?

Maybe dentist won’t serve you like last lockdowns

I don't  drink, but this seems stupid. What is the link between Covid 19 and booze consumption with dinner?

Domestic Violence I presume , during curfews. Hold get out of hand and people are ignorant on the drink and let precautions blow in the wind

Just waiting for this loophole too be closed off.  If you do not have the necessary funds to stay here then you should really think about getting the funds necessary or unfortunately find another way to stay, or maybe look at your investments and find a way to obtain the funds.

You will be waiting a long time , keeps you busy worrying about it

Going on holiday has been illegal for Brits for a couple of months now. 

 

I think it was brought in early January, I think business and hospital appointments 

are the exception, I'm not sure how much scrutiny is done at departure though.

No Brits  or Aussies not a.bad thing
