Hi Doc,
i was at the airport in Chiang Rai and asked about my CR-Phuket-CR Flight with Vietjet for this Month about Covid Requirements.
They told me,if you have 2 Vaxxine Shots already,dont need any PCR Test,only Certificate for the Shots or show on Mor Prom App.
Register on website www.gophuket.com and present QR code before arrival.
Hotel Confirm Reservation and receipt of hotel reservation must be shown at the check-in counter.

The link you posted for gophuket takes me to hotels.com ???? Hijacked?

Hi Guys/gals,
Anyone know the current COVID requirements for domestic flight arrival non-stop CNX to HKT? I am double vaxxed with Pfizer and have my shot card to prove it. I have booked a flight on Vietjet but did not see any C-19 requirements for the flight nor anything on the HKT airport website. Thanks in advance!

The reality is that 6,000 people got kicked off the site 5 or 6 times each before they figured out it only worked if they used Windows XT with IE 1.0, attachments only accepted in WordPerfect and Lotus 1-2-3.
Now Now, Let's not poo poo older programs. I wrote McDonnel Douglas Long Beach facility's first engineering specification that used a computer in 1986. Was on a dual 5.25" floppy IBM 5160 machine that had been bought but no one was willing to learn it. Used WordPerfect 4.2 as a spell check. The typing secretaries had daggers in their eyes when I revealed it, they knew it was the beginning of the end for them.

Suburbs are kinda back to normal except trying to get a drink with your meal. You basically to the nudge, nudge, wink, wink to ask for a beer. Tired of being hit on by Katoey waiters in response... Please allow drinks with dinner at least in CM.

In a land where the laws affecting ability to stay, let alone land ownership, have no guarantee from one day to the next, really? To see what might happen with this scheme you only have to look to Malaysia changing their requirements for foreigners to stay long term, making it retroactive, and Thailand copying that game plan themselves:

45 minutes ago, Puccini said:It is a misunderstanding, respectively a lack of knowledge about the documentary procedure involved here.
From the news article linked to in the OP:
The Polish government wanted an "official letter, from the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs, confirming its status as the Thai government’s official representative for receipt of the vaccine donation" and the MFA told the hospital that the correct procedure was that the hospital "should consult with the Disease Control Department directly"
Since the authority to confirm Thamasat's "status as the Thai government’s official representative for receipt of the vaccine donation" apparently lies with the Disease Control Department (DCP), Thammasat should have proceeded as follows:
1. Apply to the DCT for the letter.
2. If and when the letter is given, have the signature on the letter "legalised" by the MFA.
2. Next, have the signature of the MFA official legalised by the Polish consul in Thailand.
3. Finally, send this document to the Polish government.
All this potato potaato paperwork s--t when 1.5 million free Moderna vaccines are involved is just mind numbing!

Our overall plan for my later fragile years prior to the big dirt nap was to live out towards Sakon Nakhon with a flirty young nurse living with me 24/7 (to change my nappy's and such) in a 2 bdrm house next to my wife's house (she's 20yrs younger) and that the nurse would one day run over to the wife's house with sweat down her bra-less hastily wrapped bosom and a tear in her eye to inform the wife that I have expired whereupon the wife would walk over, see the big smile on my face, kiss the nurse on the cheek and then kiss me for the last time knowing that I died happy. However, immigration rules are really starting to kill the buzz of my last ride!

No matter where you go, there you are.

Really? It was not announced on thethaiger.com which as I know is just one place with live Thai news on English. But do you have some answers about the topic maybe? That’s strange to send me link to a social media site with billions posts when I’ve asked about an exact subject. I’ve googled about it but I couldn’t find the answer on English.
Wife just stumbled across it on one of her Facebook groups this last Sunday and as the day grew so did the number of locations/times for walk in over the next week or so. The way they use FB here as a major media outlet astounds me. AZ for the first shot and Pfizer for the second. Already know of people that went Monday to some locations. For 18 and over with no previous vax walk-in. Monday they lined up at 3:30am for an 8am opening.

It's been admitted that 90% were returning expats, hence why they have not used the word tourists.
Nor does anyone mention number of business travelers. I know of 2 Chinese that are coming back shortly purely for business.

Not just you buddy, I have a group of about 20 guys (all well educated/traveled) that are married to Thai women in the US and all of us agree that when they step off the plane back here in Thailand, their IQ goes down 15 -20 points, their English goes to hell, and logic is right out the window. We used to live here 2004 time frame for a bit over 3 years and almost divorced her then over this kind of behavior as she was making my life harder not easier as I had to look over her shoulder for anything that had to be done. Went back to the US and all was good again. Have now been here for a bit over 5 years this time and right back having the same kind of arguments based on lack of basic thinking/planning on her part as when we lived here before. Only have about 1 more year to go and then back to the US.

It's not that we old guys think no one notices us checking out cute young girls, it's that we are old enough that we could care less what the hell other people think of us ????

I'm not sure of your question, but here's something about US taxes/Thailand and FACTA;
Accounts Not Required to Be Reviewed, Identified, or Reported. Unless the Reporting Thai Financial Institution elects otherwise, either with respect to all Preexisting Individual Accounts or, separately, with respect to any clearly identified group of such accounts, where the implementing rules in Thailand provide for such an election, the following Preexisting Individual Accounts are not required to be reviewed, identified, or reported as U.S. Reportable Accounts: 1. Subject to subparagraph E(2) of this section, a Preexisting Individual Account with a balance or value that does not exceed $50,000 as of June 30, 2014. 2. Subject to subparagraph E(2) of this section, a Preexisting Individual Account that is a Cash Value Insurance Contract or an Annuity Contract with a balance or value of $250,000 or less as of June 30, 2014. 3. A Preexisting Individual Account that is a Cash Value Insurance Contract or an Annuity Contract, provided the law or regulations of Thailand or the United States effectively prevent the sale of such a Cash Value Insurance Contract or an Annuity Contract to U.S. residents (e.g., if the relevant Financial Institution does not have the required registration under U.S. law, and the law of Thailand requires reporting or withholding with respect to insurance products held by residents of Thailand). 4. A Depository Account with a balance of $50,000 or less.
https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/131/FATCA-Agreement-Thailand-3-4-2016.pdf
This is the reporting requirement for the Thai Bank or brokerage company to report to the US Treasury Dept, not the individuals requirement to report to the IRS. He is asking about his reporting requirements as an individual.
Etaoin Shrdlu's response is correct for the requirement to file a form 8938 with your income tax return in addition to the FATCA reporting that filed on form 114 online with the Treasury dept.

I'd say more like up and hobbling. Buddy of mine from CA just gave up for the night. All his docs are .pdf's and the site is bombing out. Have steered him to the Adobe website that will convert .pdf to jpg for free after setting up a free account. He has no programs that will convert .pdf or "save as" to another format.

Also the code is filled with German comments and indentation left and right, it looks like they outsourced the development to a team of German coders...
Looks like they are going to have to drag out the Enigma machine and get crack'n on that code!

Findings of these studies suggest that the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection via the fomite transmission route is low, and generally less than 1 in 10,000, which means that each contact with a contaminated surface has less than a 1 in 10,000 chance of causing an infection.
