  1. One plus of going down the visa exempt route is that you'll only have to buy 30 days' worth of the compulsory insurance. If you already had a visa you'd have to buy insurance to its expiry date.
  2. But they are aiming to become carbon neutral by ... 2060. In the meantime, their carbon emissions are going to climb until 2030.
  3. Chemical odours? Aren't all odours chemical? And as for "waste ... is cancerous", how can waste have cancer? Pretty sure they meant "carcinogenic".
  4. Does your 'phone number appear on the vaccination certificate, and is it correct? It not, contact the hospital to get it added/corrected. They'll then pass on your 'phone number so that the app can recognise it.
  5. So he's admitted to making what is in fact a very major mistake that makes himself and Thailand look utterly ridiculous. Why hasn't he fallen on his sword and resigned?
  6. So, the local Moslems don't need another mosque? Then what's the point of an "Islamic Ethics Training Center"? Surely the existing mosques teach Islamic ethics to the Moslem populace. I sounds to me that this is a mosque, and they are hiding the fact by giving it a different name. It wouldn't be the first time this sort of misdirection has been used by The Religion of Peace. And why is it being built on "reserved forest land"?
  7. Funny how they don't mention the expensive hell you'll go through if your test turns out positive (even if it's a false positive).
  8. Iskhan Soft is semi-moist so probably meets your requirement. I give it to one of my dogs whose lower front teeth have worn away such that he can't handle hard kibble.
  9. OP, I think you should check the options again. The usual options are: (1) 4 litres of Niflec the evening before colonoscopy, with the colonosocopy being performed early in the day (2) 2 litres of Niflect the evening before, and 2 litres on the day, with the procedure being performed late morning/early afternoon. In my experience, #2 is easier and also produces a clearer colon. (This is also backed up by research. See https://www.thaiscience.info/Journals/Article/JMAT/10989511.pdf )
  10. The poster's username of "swissie". I'd have thought it pretty obvious.
  11. The Newspaper-that-dare-not-speak-its-name reported yesterday that the US$50,000 insurance was not required for people returning to Thailand within 21 days.
  12. My understanding is that it's largely private hospitals that are being hurt, not government ones. In any case, it's often the case that the patient must pay the hospital, then try to reclaim later from the insurance company. The patient therefore still has an incentive to do a moonlight flit.
  13. Au contraire. However, Operation Sealion was only planned (1940) after the UK had started hostilities against Germany (1939). Had Churchill not been a blood-thirsty warmonger there would have been no Operation Sealion.
  14. I don't know your nationality, but if you're British or American there never was any real prospect of being invaded by the Nazis. Hitler only wanted some living room (lebensraum) for the German people. He highly respected the British and (until Britain entered the war) no animosity towards the country. And America was simply too far away.
  15. So a "major war" is only "major" if it kills (I presume white) Americans and western Europeans? And if a war doesn't do so it's a "pointless war"? Personally, I think all wars are pointless. Anyway, interesting perspective.
  16. Is this the same United Kingdom that had 52,000 new cases yesterday, 115 deaths? By what possible criteria can the UK be considered "low risk"?
  17. So, what do you call the Gulf War? Somali Civil War? Kosovo War? Vietnam war? Korean War? Ethiopian Civil War? War in Darfur? Syrian Civil War? All minor tiffs? To declare no major war is to suggest either a lack of historical knowledge, or an incurable pollyannaism.
  18. Not sure that's right. When I tried to click "postal delivery" yesterday it wasn't available as an option. Only "self pickup" works (two locations). This has been reported elsewhere. And today, the whole "international certificate" part of the app isn't working.
  19. Non-immigrant B extension of stay.
  20. Just gone to the covid19.tgia.org site to get a quotation for a year's insurance. A few observations: - There's no option for between 180 days and 1 year - They don't take into account whether you're fully vaccinated or not - They don't take into account one's age. A fully vaccinated, healthy young person is far less an underwriting risk than an unvaccinated elderly one, but the premium is the same. Oh, and the cost: an outrageous 43,200 baht. This seems more like a scheme to make Thai insurance company owners wealthy than anything else. Is there any way to get this cheaper. (I don't currently have general health insurance and don't want to get any, so a "top up" is not really an option.)
  21. You may have a nasty surprise if the new rules are anything like the sandbox rules. Under the latter you have to have been in the country of departure (in your case the UK) for 3 weeks, otherwise you'll be in for the full (and expensive) ASQ experience.
  22. Unless you had an MRI, you would not know your level of internal fat in the key organs, the pancreas liver. It is thought that with a VLCD fat is burned from these organs. With a less extreme diet fat may be taken primarily from elsewhere in the body, such as the abdomen.
  23. I'm not aware of a terrorist Habibeee (or even with fewer e's). You're probably thinking of Hambali who was arrested in Ayutthaya in 2003. However, 90 day reporting was required even before that. So, no "reinstatement".
  24. According to today's newspapers, the Private Hospitals Association said yesterday that there would be no refunds for people who cancelled their Moderna orders, but that they could either postpone their vaccine appointment or transfer their doses to other people.
