Chokchai brand is my favourite.

Nope. It means exactly the same. 7 days for vaccinated and 10 days for unvaccinated. It is all in the OP.

Updated bank book ?

What happened to the AZ 1st/Pfizer 2nd combo that was supposed to start in October ??

I’m watching Hell on Wheels a great series about the laying of the transcontinental railroad in 1860’s USA. Also , Hatfield‘s & McCoys , based on a true story about a long time feud between two families shortly after the US civil war ( 1865 ). Both great western series and available on fmovies.

Pfizer x 2 at MedPark last month. Thanks Joey B ????????

Found Cold Feet S01, S06, S07, S08 and S09 on fmovies.to

Try AdGuard, I use it on iPad, iPhone and a Windows laptop.

Well at least you don’t have any delay waiting for the statement which means a return visit another day for many. My IO charge 20 baht for copies, irrespective of quantity. Which is okay because they always like to have copies of all the pages of my bank book and copies of passport pages from donkeys years ago.

Yes, I have to order my 12 month statement from Bangkok Bank , takes 3-4 days. Return to the bank to get statement and a letter, make a small transaction and update bank book then off to immigration, this takes all morning. 90 days done online so immigration visit once a year and is only 10 mins away, so all in all could be worse. The photo goes on their paper copy to be filed, often wonder where they store all this paperwork ?? but in the past have received receipts which are on the back of some expats paperwork !! The number of copies they make is also amazing, no wonder wood is so expensive in Thailand !!

Some of the things you mentioned are common to other IO’s also. On my annual retirement extension ( done last week ) I also have to produce a 12 month bank statement, this is the 2nd year I have done this in line with some changes made to the financial requirements for retirement extensions. 200 baht for the statement + 100 baht for the bank letter. Bank book to be updated on the day of extension, I usually withdraw 1000 baht to enable the update to be dated correctly. A webcam photo is normal practice. Only the fingerprinting is something I have not seen before.

Got discounts for the last few months, the bill was 1/2 the norm. Got this months bill yesterday, back to the normal pre discount.

I am failing to see the connection between Big Joke/ 90 days online reporting and the Digital Passport !!

This should be right up your street Owl . Apologies to TBL !

Yes, I think these are all variants of the Covid19 vaccination certificate. Some posters are talking about a Yellow book that is available in some government offices for 50 baht as a “ Vaccine Passport “ but not sure if that’s accepted or necessary for travel .

Yup, seems like overkill. I have 6 screenshots in a “ vaccine “ folder on my phone now ( cert from Medpark + the green cert from the QR code. + four screen shots from the app ), goes hand in hand with the paperwork needed for immigration !! ( bank book and 12 months statement !! ).

Because you can’t go below 400k in the the year preceding your extension.

Not all immigration offices will accept bank book only. My immigration requests a 12 month statement from their head office ( Bangkok Bank ) which takes 3-4 days to arrive plus the bank book updated on the day.

Yes, NW used to charge me £22 for a standard transfer and £30 for an urgent transfer, both taking around 3 days ???? Last time I did a comparison they had dropped the transfer charge but Wise still wins hands down with the better exchange rate .

I think you are probably right, number of users, it started working again okay after 9pm last night and is still okay this morning. Took your advice and did a screenshot of the docs and saved onto phone.

Okay, initially I got a message that translated as: “Notification number: Phone number not found in MOPHIC system, please contact the place where you received the vaccine number OK.” I emailed Medpark to add my phone number to their records and they sorted it within the hour. But, yours looks like a different problem, sorry.

Last time I sent £10k from the U.K. I did a quick calculation on direct bank transfer v Wise transfer. £300 better off transferring with Wise compared to direct from NatWest ( at the time NatWest had dropped the £22 transfer charge also). It’s a no brainer to me .

Haven’t had that, presumably you have got the OTP ?

Yup, when I try to open both those the app closes, it did work before though.

Yes, I wasn’t suggesting that your post was incorrect or misleading only that despite this information the U.K. government (rightly or wrongly) has already decided to go ahead with a ( 3rd ) booster shot. I looked for the YouTube video by DrJohn ( posted two weeks ago, 14.53 mins long) and agree , he does explain it very clearly and makes it easily understood for the layman. The points he makes are quite clear: Herd immunity has now gone out the window. Antibodies achieved by recovering from the virus far outweigh antibodies achieved by vaccination. Everyone will contract the virus at some stage whether vaccinated or not. Serious illness will be vastly reduced by those vaccinated with 2 doses. Although he doesn’t say as such, reading between the lines of the above statements I feel he is hinting that with 2 doses of the vaccine we will still contract the virus and a booster is unnecessary. Indeed , it has been said for a while now, by various experts, that once we achieve the goal of vaccinate the population ( those who comply obviously ) with 2 doses then a yearly booster will become the norm ( as in the flu ) , available for those who feel they need it while those who didn’t vaccinate or feel a booster unnecessary can boost their immune systems with Vit D , Zinc or use the more controversial remedies.
