UbonEagle replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Some leb wannabe socialite / Insta influencer flying cattle class Jetstar ???? keeping trying knobhead and the previous posts comment about Bankstown being “interesting” well if that includes drive by shootings and leb bikie turf wars I think you’ve pretty well nailed it ???? -
Thailand 300 baht entry fee for tourists set to start in early 2023
UbonEagle replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
No issue with it, compared to Indonesia 50USD it is very affordable, and given the hospital bills run up by uninsured travelers I kinda get it. only tightarses like the Indians will be moaning about it ???? -
Satellite images show widespread flooding in Thailand’s northeast
UbonEagle replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
Been back in Ubon for 2wks and have been frequent torrential storms Getting up towards 300mm in total during that time Strongest wet season for some time here and an early kickoff too going since May as opposed to normally well into July -
Yes, Covid was/is real, the early incarnations particularly, but almost every person I know young old underlying etc all likened omicron to at worst a very bad dose of flu. and were all the restrictions and controls, (particularly freedom of movement for people to return to their own country) imposed legitimate ?? I would say no but hindsight is a wonderful thing. I doubt anything was done maliciously but modern day risk control (ass covering) and media hysteria were my 2 biggest gripes.

Was reported on Oz news tonight he knocked some other oz biker gangster over there and was convicted of murder, but 2yr later miraculously downgraded to assault lol some cops in receipt of a serious brown paper bag there. story rings a bell now -
Has the rainy season arrived in Thailand at last?
UbonEagle replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Like many other posters reflected it started early here in the Far East, Ubon with almost daily arvo storms thru April and May when it’s normally blistering hot. has settled into more normal pattern now still pretty warm ~33 daily and humid with solid storms every few days and off in the distance when it doesnt -
Couple of things. Firstly, airport staffing eg immigration has nothing to do with the huge THAI check in issues last week, that is a matter solely for THAI airways and given their financial woes frankly I’m not surprised. I flew in from Sydney on Saturday, landed at 16:30 zero queues and actually beat the luggage to the baggage claim and was upstairs checking into my 6pm domestic flight with time to spare. The queue up at Thai Smile was fairly long but thank god for the THAI gold card I was done in a few minutes. so overall a very good experience, the immigration booth setup is new and if well staffed things should be ok going forward, also downstairs in domestic departures a significant facelift with even a nice little bar set up ????

Epidural steroid injection (ESI) for bulging disc
UbonEagle replied to UbonEagle's topic in Health and Medicine
Thanks Sheryl and Lorry for your intel. And yes i agree good therapy/exercise along with looking after yourself (sleep,food etc) goes a long way to managing these things, however with a few years more offshore work/travel than ain't always possible. And given its been getting slowly worse for 10+yrs i'm not too optimistic of it fixing itself. Hoping a treatment like this can at least be a circuit breaker, not expecting a silver bullet cure. Cheers Doug -
Hi, Been suffering upper back + sciatic pain for nearly 20yrs, not debilitating but annoying for sport especially. Now over 50 it's becoming a bit more persistent unless I manage very carefully. Obviously thai massage is great and helps but still come/go OS for work so not always available. Had CT/mri few yrs back showed issues at C4/5 likely impinging on nerve. Has anyone had the epidural injections to neck ? if so how did you find it and looking for doctor recommendations likely in BKK and rough cost ? Cheers Doug

Senior Thai doctor says COVID-19 could lead to long-term side effects
UbonEagle replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Pretty obvious the good doctor is recycling last years data from Delta etc, pretty clear already that omicron will be very unlikely to have long term health effects as typically not lung related -
Thai pass and stop in Singapore
UbonEagle replied to Tayida's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Are you talking about stopping off in SIN or just transit ? if transit only i dont think it has any effect on TP conditions. BTW you will require a negative PCR within 72hr before transiting thru SIN also. -
When is ASQ not ASQ?
UbonEagle replied to aussiexpat's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Flew in yesterday and commenced 7 day ASQ, very clear no leaving room under ANY circumstances until negative result from day 4 ? test, then daily 30min out of room allowed, which i wasnt aware of previously but not too fussed either way. Have done plenty of 2wk QT in Aust for work, this will be a breeze and the added bonus of seeing the missus when i get out ???? This is at a reputable and reasonably high end place, very nice room excellent catering and ultra organised arrival yesterday -
KhunLA you present some very confusing arguments. Is your advocating of tight border restrictions (useless as already proven, thailand's biggest outbreak triggered by illegal border crossings, mostly thais ) driven by your concern for the thai public ? yet you boast about travelling the country unvaccinated ? Clearly unlike many here you have no desire (or means) to leave and re-enter the country, otherwise you wouldn't be sprouting such rubbish.

Big Issues with Thailand pass
UbonEagle replied to bear9's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Re-apply - paying particular attention to doc upload types ie JPEG and not using hotmail. Things like hotel receipts suggest not scanning/saving but just download the receipt on your computer (usually PDF) and convert to required JPEG etc. Also sounds like vax cert with QR code is a must, took me a while to figure out how to get that QR alone into the next box down but ended up doing screenshot on phone and attaching. -
New Measures Might Be Implemented After CCSA Meeting On Friday
UbonEagle replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
1 month to ponder - reading between the lines that sounds like they know its away and trying to stop will be like ####ing in the wind so perhaps they are slowly coming to their senses on this -
Feel for ya, the system is pretty low grade. I did mine 2 days ago, got approved QR back in <12hrs, i paid particular attention to type of attachments ie jpeg and used my gmail and spent a lot of time working out how to get a snip of my vax cert QR into correct box...fortunately have some young tech whiz with me on nightshift lol. BTW that was for 1wk hotel ASQ in Bangkok, getting the pre-flight PCR for transit thru Singapore will be my last hurdle to jump.

Phuket Sandbox Suggested Hotels to do quarantine
UbonEagle replied to Chris Setchell's topic in Phuket
ChrisP24 that place looks like a good tho bit on pricey side, but if goes trouble free that's not my primary concern. Just on the sandbox ruleset : Is the day you check in considered day 1 as long as before midnight ? And at the back end, i presume test on day 6, get results back day 7 (hopefully morning) then clear to leave ? -
PSAS Refuses All Credit Cards
UbonEagle replied to Jaymatheson's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Fair point Geisha, i suppose if you get it day after ASQ you're still facing the same period on the sidelines. Then i remembered the ASQ no beer rule also, think i'll be taking the golf clubs to somewhere like mission hills and getting a few rounds in during my week ???? with a cold Singha after
