the complaints were the long lines at immigration

After moving to Pattaya, the new immigration office on Samui seems like heaven. 

Fortunately I deal with the EEC one stop office in Chonburi, only been to Jomtien immigration once.

To fly to Samui, you just need a ticket.

Samui has no special rules.

Had to show vaccination record flying to Samui during Easter. 

I went to the office in Chaweng and asked for my son that visited me this week. 

Must be vaccinated to fly into Samui.

Good timing, because America just ruled mask mandates unconstitutional and we no longer have to wear masks on planes, buses, etc.  

Don't that mean that pants mandates also are unconstitutional?

Do you also buy your medical insurance from nail salons as the women smile nicely ?

Got my PCR-test done at a beauty shop in Sweden before traveling here six months ago. 

Was asked to spit in a test tube, got my certification 8 hours later. 

Biggest scam industry right now is PCR-test before flying. 

There's no international authority to decide who can write certification.

Hmm... despite my lack of training and knowledge in this subject, I was leaning towards a preference of getting infected (by omicron)  rather than the 3rd jab of MRNA... everything I was hearing (reading and Dr John Campbell mainly) made me feel it was unlikely to produce symptoms any worse than a cold, and ultimately give better immunity results. 

In the end, got the 3rd jab...... 

Think I got the omicron, had light flu symptoms and guy at work tested positive. 

Got my booster anyway last week.

Traveling around over Songkran, I got the impression that everyone knows it's everywhere - and cares very little.

10.000 ppl at full moon party at Koh Phangan during Songkran.

Fist fights amoung drunk people after closing time.  This is norm, anywhere in the world.

It was better pre-Thaksin with no closing time.

Tourist Police are no different from other branches of RTP including Immigration and Traffic police.

Don't forget the railway police. 

They had the same in Jomtien in January 

Bring an umbrella.

How would that work? The certificate  number and passport  number and vaccine number and administrative  details would have to be integrated into the Mor Prom MOH Data  base.

My vaccination records from Sweden are accepted, not in the Mor Prom

Noticed that Rasta bar moved 500 south when I visited this weekend, also good live music.

Surely, they have to accommodate visitors and guests?

The ones I have gone to don't seem to ask or bother.

Do you not have a friend with a condo in Pattaya? Get him to drive it in and park it up.

My condo demands parking sticker. 

Thank you Per, how about opening hours. 

Here in Pattaya they enforce 11pm closing time.

I haven't seen any postings about daily new Covid-cases since April 5th and April 7th from my two usual Thai-sources, perhaps it's not that interesting to share any more

It's like here in Pattaya, nobody cares anymore. 

It's like the normal flu, 

Got my my booster shot today, they did want to see my Swedish vaccine record.

Showed passport and asked for pzifer #3 and got it in 5 min.
