I hope that the opposition to its destruction is successful, all buildings of merit that have an iconic presence should be preserved.

I am 75 and was pleased to get the Sinovac and AstraZeneca jabs in Krabi . The horror tales and the waiting for Moderna or Physer seemed to me to be based on nothing other than personal prejudices.
Thanks OP for giving us a positive report with a good outcome, I am now in line for my third jab in January and must say thanks to the local government, well done.

Flying to Bangkok from Krabi next week and ended up booking Thai Lion as they were 30% cheaper than Airasia.

Has anyone downloaded the Airasia app and managed to make it work. I keep trying but am unable to access Krabi to Bangkok schedules and costs.
I had five years of flying with Airasia between Australia and domestically in Thailand and when the Covid hit they had little chance of survival. Airlines such as Qantas, Singapore, British Airways and of course Thai all received enormous sums of public funds to survive, Airasia was on its own and its no wonder they are broke.
I hope they survive as without competition we will all pay much, much more.

From Westpac Australia to SCB in Krabi took less than two minutes for my last four transfers, I usually send late at night as the Oz dollar is always better late evening and before I have reopened the Wise app on my iPad to press I have made this transfer an email is in my inbox saying money received. This is followed by money sent , close the Wise app, open SCB and its there. No complaints from me and no, Wise is not paying me to promote them as claimed by a previous poster.

When a light bulb goes out in the ceiling light and you get a table and a chair on top, look at it and seriously wonder if you should. I have considered myself super fit for years but all of a sudden I have started considering the risks, I must be getting old !.

As to be expected on T V only one person has taken the attitude that the Principal has acted correctly. The damage that keyboard warriors can do is immense and also without consequences .

My vision seems to be deteriorating slightly, can't imagine it has anything to do with old age however I would like to get eyes checked by a competent professional so asking for any recommendations in Krabi please

I did a transfer from Australia late last night and got three emails at the same time, XX is sending, money received, money sent, Pressed the buttons for my SCB and it was there, all within the time it took me to open and close the apps. One thing I have noticed is it came via Deemoney, will check the coding of the deposit on my statement.

I can only speak for myself but I have been using transfer wise funds for my last three marriage extensions without any problems.
When the Consulate stopped issuing income certs I went to my local Immigration Office and asked them what they required, 400K in the Bank was the reply.
I had read all the information on TV especially that posted by Ubon Joe so I acted confused and asked was the information I had wrong, my I O pulled out a thick book and leafed through it , made a phone call and then said O K , 40K a month from overseas.
I went to bank and obtained twelve month statement and looked at the codes applied to transfer wise , these were marked MCL00001, nobody in the Bank could tell me the meaning of this so back on TV, another poster had queried this with Kasikorn and it turns out that it denotes funds transferred by API system which is funds from external source.
I presented my IO with a single sheet summary of transfers, copy of bank statement with transfers neatly underlined, copy of bankbook pages and note referring to bank codes. This has been accepted without question for my last three extensions, no requirement for PDF copies or individual Bank letters apart from the usual covering letter.
My advice would be to approach your Immigration Office and try to get someone to listen , reading the reports from many posters it seems a futile exercise but you will never know until you try it.
So very thankful I live where I do...

I was reading this thread last night and noticed the reported variations of transfer times. I have in the past had transfers from Australia happen nearly instantly and others that took over 24 hours. I initiated a transfer last night at 2130 local time, 0030 Australian eastern time and my iPad immediately pinged with Wise response saying money received , will be paid out in next minute, shortly after this message another saying taking a bit longer to process, no worry from me. Before going to bed I checked and found funds in SCB and looking at emails they informed me at 2210 funds sent. Looking at my overall transfers with Wise I have had no problems and will continue to use them.

I have an old 2006 Ford Focus that I am very happy with, decent performance, cold air and quite economical. The only thing that is annoying me is the digital info screen has sort of faded in the centre and is becoming hard to read, very much like aircon remotes do. Has anyone had this problem and been able to get it fixed or seeing the car is so old should I just live with it ?.

S C B in Ao nang prints mine and the required letter with the all important stamps at once and charges 200 baht, I like living in the laid back South.

My first reaction to this report was to laugh, reading it a second time my reaction was still the same.
It is a fact that certain people in Thailand are untouchable, he happens to be one.- 2

Called Roojai 28/04 and bought coverage, quoted VISA number and gave details as requested. I wondered why they only asked a few questions and was told their system identified me from my phone number as existing customer. An email was sent with Policy number virtually immediately and a few days later Postman was knocking on door for a signature for the paper policy from KPI. Totally hassle free, just hope I never have to claim, just saying I don't want Covid.

Roojai, starts at 300+ and top cover 850, seems OK . 1,000.000 cover for death with wife as beneficiary...whoops ...

The advice always given to people considering a move to Isaan is rent before buy or build, logical and sensible. This post is to get information from anyone in the area, pro's and con's, properties you know of, where not to go etc. any info would be appreciated.

Anyone want a Breitling Navitimer bought brand new thirty eight years ago In Bangkok. It still keeps perfect time, has had two or three new leather straps and people still comment on its appearance.
It cost less than $A 100 , who needs to pay more, by the way its not a fake, its a reproduction. -

Stop messing around, you live in Thailand so do what the locals do, 60 psi. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw a Thai setting the pump for this pressure and I asked him why so high, his answer, go faster, use less petrol and last longer.

Land around Chong Pli and Nathai offer some great views and far enough from main roads to be quiet. Prices are ridiculous but you pay for what you get.

Wise man, enjoy your new toy, still the easiest and best to use.

Do people have to be told unwise actions can sometimes have consequences.
There seemingly must always be someone to blame , look in the mirror !!.

For once I can condone any action he takes against this excuse of a man. As the Father of Daughters my reaction would be , shall we say, more physical, and if I am not capable I would have no hesitation in arranging his Hospital admission.

jwest 10 in answer to your question I simply received an email from Krabi Hospital and when I replied was told Jan/Feb for booster. Suggest you check where you were originally jabbed.
