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.

There's also a 'Baker's Dozen' which is actually thirteen instead of twelve. Possibly long ago a baker could be punished if they sold a dozen loaves of bread that were underweight. So they threw in one extra loaf just to be safe.
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.

I remember when it was 29 baht to the Pound
The pound to dollar rate was about $1.05
It's now about $1.34.72 today
Will start worrying when it reaches $1.20 or lower
29 baht to the pound? What century was that then ?

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

I will be traveling abroad with my Thai girlfriend. If we come back to Thailand via the Phuket Sandbox, can we share a SHA+ hotel room, or do we have to stay in 2 rooms?
Yes you can share but will pay for 2 people.

54 minutes ago, stevenl said:Exactly, that was a requirement to be part of the programme. Some people just love to post without any knowledge of the issue.
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.

Its printed on the COE:
"Flight changes (due to delay or cancellation only) are permitted within 72 hours from the original flight time without the need to issue a new COE, provided all other required documents are still valid"
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.

7 hours ago, DogNo1 said:Gee, I don't know how I could have had the temerity to demand that the US government divert a couple of hundred thousand of the ten of millions of doses that it is sending to India to vaccinate American citizens in Thailand instead. Especially when they do not have priority but will be be vaccinated after Thais.
Actually, something seems to have caused the Thai Government to recalculate. An article in a local paper today declared that Thais and foreigners would be granted the same priority. I called Bumrungrad today to confirm the news and received a callback from the cardiology department assuring me that they would contact me as soon as a shot was available and that my place on the list remains the same. So I won't have to register with that government organization.
I don't know what to make of posters accusing me of wanting to go the the front of the queue. I just want a place appropriate to my age in a mixed group of vaccination candidates which is not segregated by nationality. Also, as an American citizen it is appropriate for me to appeal to America for help, not to other countries or entities. Actually it is up to Thailand to distribute the vaccines fairly without making it necessary for me to spend a lot of time and money to leave the country to protect my health. That is now apparently what it is prepared to do. I breathe a sigh of relief as it appears that I will be vaccinated at an appropriate time in my age group.
Incidentally, my friends and former colleagues in Japan are NOT being vaccinated as a segregated group but are being mixed in normally with Japanese of their age group. Fair is fair!
Why do you not just get a flight back to America and get your vaccine?
I am flying back to the UK tomorrow and will get my vaccine and later in the year I will come back.
It would be nice to get a vaccine here but it is not going to happen anytime soon.

Whatever! I don't care whether it's a lady, boy, or ladyboy.
What is important is the content of the video.
If you can not even tell the difference between a lady speaking Thai and a man speaking Thai then I dont think I will be taking language learning advice from you.

Many people don't realize that as foreigners, we want to converse with the ordinary Thai people and not become Thai newscasters.
The Thai spoken in the videos is too formal and most Thai don't speak like that. It's only for newscasters or in formal situation.
Formal Thai has many Sanskrit words that isn't used much by ordinary Thai people.
I find that many foreigners can't even understand intermediate Thai that is less formal and would be more useful in real-life.
For those who want to learn formal Thai, you can continue watching these videos but I am watching those videos that ordinary Thai speak.
Are you the Thai teacher in the video? No offense meant.
The Thai spoken in the video was spoken clearly and was normal central Thai which I understood completely. Not formal at all ,just pronounced clearly .
When I began learning Thai 29 years ago I learned to pronounce words clearly and my vocab that I learned included formal and colloquial.
To learn a language and understand to your best ability you need to understand and speak both formal and colloquial as certain situations require a different response.
The original poster has posted these videos to help but unfortunately some people always try to find fault when people try to help others.
