Vaccination doesn't reduce infection it just reduces the risk of serious disease to the vaccinated

If TAT is expecting 10M tourists, that's 3000 infected.

 

More than enough to kick off another wave.

 

May need to persist with quarantine or deal with widespread transmission.

Not necessary if they are vaccinated.

I was tested  in Finland in the cheapest company

My "company" in Sweden was in a beauty parlor, was told to spit in a tube.

No nasal swab, felt very dodgy.

My Mrs got a wireless router from True that has a SIM card slot..

I was surprised of the speed on this TOT 1 year unlimited SIM I got.

40-50 Mbps is way better than expected.

Nonono !! wifi or straight connected by cable has always a difference .....from big to small difference

I know, was commenting on the capacity concern from the poster. 

I'm totally happy with 40-50 Mbps

I used to develop software that could use 9.8 Kbps

Now imagine everyone else in your neighborhood using that same SIM or a similar plan from someone else that uses the same provider.

I've been using this method when I lived in Sweden for the last two years. 

Has worked perfectly. 

Why should it be different from a line connection. 

If the provider has capacity it doesn't matter if it's wireless or not. 

This is a great solution instead of cable or fiber especially if you live out in the sticks. 

I can use it anywhere I have cellular coverage. 

I pay less than 100 baht per month for unlimited internet. 

I have a bachelor's degree in computer science.

I find it rather amazing they found any given that these people obviously tested negative within 72 hours of their arrival.  

In Sweden a company got caught not testing the samples just writing certificates and pocketing the money.

Around 100.000 certificates was issued by this company.

90 day reporting link to the COE or Thaipass data?

COE and Thailand pass is administered by MFA.

MFA and Immigrations never speak to each other.

My HR already been to immigrations and got me a nice TM47 slip.

Not got refunded for ticket yet, it was a cheap ticket to singapore.

OP, Correct your insurance needs cover time that you will be stamped in for. In your case 9 months

I bought insurance for 14 days (my sandbox)

Had to show ticket out in 14 days for my COE.

Got stamped in for 90 days as per my non-B.

Cancelled my ticket out.

Thanks for the reply but I live on the darkside.and use a P.C windows 10...

I live on KhaoTalo and use a PC with windows7.

I connect to WiFi to my phone set up as WifFi hotspot and works as an Internet router for my PC, tab, other phone.

Best part of is that I can use this solution on vacation or if I move.

Please get something better than an INDEX, it doesn't have to cost a fortune.

 

Index is really not what I'm looking for.

My problem is my size (61) and slightly oval head.

Hard to find something comfortable.

My philosophy is that if you have to wear something on your head then wear something decent. 

After seeing my work mates helmet, I've decided to upgrade my helmet.

When I lived on Samui it never went fast.

Here in Pattaya I drive way faster.

My friend is new in town and needs a good helmet.

Anyone have recommendations on shop?

Looks like rainy season on Samui

No way to do this in 6 hours, time to change your air tickets

When I arrived in Phuket sandbox seven weeks ago, I got my result in three hours.

Swab at airport, taxi to Patong, shower and welcome drink, call from reception saying I was negative and free to go out.
