After posting re read the op and edited my reply. You have quoted my reply seconds before I edited.

Some people like to have an up tp date bank book upon entering the country just incase immigration ask about funds.

Yes I agree however my point was that Thai people do not refer to it as Bangkok .

The name was changed over 50 years ago.

No not everyone. All Thai people call it Krung Thep Mahana Khon.

I refill our gas bottle in Udon Thani at a LPG /Petrol station. Just put it in your car boot and pull up next to the gas pump and they will refill it in your boot. It normally costs ฿400 for a full refill.

The term Bakers dozen meaning 13 originated as the Baker would make a dozen and an extra 1 for himself/herself,hence a Bakers dozen is 13.

Bakery.

?

29 baht to the pound? What century was that then ?

I did not know gnomes had to be tested for covid 555

I landed in Phuket yesterday and the Thailand Plus is no longer used in Phuket. Everyone had to load Mor Channa.

Yes you can share but will pay for 2 people.

Thailand plus has issues loading on Android phones. I have it and it used to load but now just crashes. Mor Channa works fine.

I arrive on 3rd on October and the Thailand plus app no longer will load when I click on it. It appeaars for a few seconds and then crashes. I have loaded Mor channa and it works fine.

I booked an all jnclusive package and they have contacted me already concerning the rule changes and refund.

I have declined the accomodation refund as I want to stay in Phuket for the full 14 days before returning home to Udon. Not sure if a negative PCR test will be required before travelling up to Udon so as of yet I am still going to have the 3rd test but am able to have that refunded if under the new rules it is not needed.

I arrive on the 3rd and have been offered a refund for the 3rd PCR and the 7 days difference in accomodation.

Thailand is on the red list .Therefore if you return to the UK from Thailand you have to quarantene. This applies to people who live in the UK and to expats. It is not discriminating against expats. I am flying to Thailand next week and if I return when Thailand is still on the red list then I will have to quarantene just the same.

Yes I have my COE and it is a welcome change to my last years COE which if your flight times changed you had to get in touch with the Embassy for àn amendment.

Last year I did the 15 night quarantene in Bangkok and paid ฿40.000 .I have since returned to the UK and had my double vaccination. In 6 weeks time I am flying direct to Phuket and staying in a 5 star hotel and the cost of that stay and my 3 PCR tests is ฿22.500. I much prefer the thought of my up coming stay in Phuket to the Bangkok quarantene. For us long stay visa holders it is a much better way to return home to Thailand.
