Bought my home office setup at Index and pretty happy with it. Has sliding keyboard shelf and they have a lot of options with different desk sizes etc. ????

Best beach imo: Tien beach, 2nd place Monkey beach when it's high tide. But you can explore the whole of Koh Larn in 1 day with a motorbike if you wanted. It's a small island and easy to get around on a scooter. Also it's very quiet now because of no Chinese so even the main beach looks ok. ????
Accomodations, I have no idea, I only go for daytrips. ????
And yes, Use Bolt if you can. Easy and cheap for transportation.
Have fun!

Singapore has just doubled its number of cases in one day, I think the Minister of BS may be a tad optimistic here considering the way that Omicron is spreading.
Cases are not an important number anymore with Omicron. Who cares if there are millions of cases when almost nobody needs hospitals/ICU's. Most people survive the flu or the common cold also. Better to get Omicron and get a free natural booster for your immune system!

You mean that you were more than 7 days late.
What do you think '>7 days' mean?

Was a few days late with 90-day reporting (> 7days). Normally fine is 2000THB. Agent fixed it for 300THB. Agents? Definitely yay.

Did you read this bit from the OP, second post....
"I'm actually now on a 60 day Covid extension..."
And in what way does that make my suggestion invalid to talk to a good agent if he encounters any problems? His Non-O, assumably volunteer, is expired. Maybe you should focus on giving information that can help the OP?

Issue is that there are rumors immigration will not give you an extension if you have paid for a 'dodgy' volunteer visa/extension in your passport. At the moment those 'dodgy' visa's/extensions are not available anymore since the recent change of some head immigration officer in Isaan. What I also heard is that you need a passport change before you can get a new visa/extensions. But as said, this is only from hear saying. To the OP: talk to a good agent if you encounter any troubles or if you are not sure how to proceed and post the outcome. ????

Like I said, I have nothing negative to say, the police are doing a great job, keep up the good work. I love living here, no complaints.
Read the article and my comments before making annoying replies.
The police are doing a great job? I hope you understand that those Covid rules are just plain stupid... Anyway, I'm going out before everything needs to close for some cold virus at 9PM. ????

Dozens of people locked inside a nightclub.
What could possibly go wrong?
Not much, they probably got a free Omikron immunity booster. Fire risk excluded.

You just trying to wind me up with this rediculous comment?
I've been living here (same place) for 20 years, long before the <deleted> moved in.
Well the thing is... TiT. I would probably never buy something in or near Pattaya or stay at a place where I can't move out reasonably fast because of things like that.

I'm OK with the policing.
If you don't like the laws you are free to leave.
My house is not far from Bongkot.
Some of these bars are often open to the early mornings. Drunken idiots making noise, driving their vehicles drunk, at times you get the very load big bike going at speed through these narrow streets. Lots of people sleeping.
Yes these laws are affecting the pimps/bar owners, too bloody bad.
I like to live in a safe place with my family.
Are you the same guy who decided to live near an airport and went on complaining about airplane noise?

Funny thing: I got some cold symptoms, next day I tested negative. After 3 days my symptoms were gone and I did another test: positive. And yes, I wear a mask, not by choice ofc. Stayed at home until negative. But tbh, looking at Omikron stats, better get it over with fast now it's mild and you get a free immunity boost! Party on! Those who are brainwashed with fear by the media should stay home and lock themselves up.
Imo, it passed Pattaya already.
And yes, my life and freedom are more important than some old people dying from a disease or old age. People die everyday. Seems like many people have forgotten that.

You wear the mask to protect others!
And even when you had it, this not mean you can't become it again.
And so far I understood, for many omicron is really only like a cold, but for some it's much more. only because you had no problem not mean everybody is the same.Protect others from something I don't have anymore? Chances getting it again are pretty slim maybe even zero. Imo probably everyone in Pattaya had it or was in contact with it.
For some others flu is deadly or the common cold or traffic or hearth problems or high blood pressure or gazillion other things people die from. Heck, people die even from old age! Time to get things back in perspective.

Unbelievably stupid not to wear a mask with Omicron everywhere.
I had Omikron, so I can stop wearing that ridicules mask now? BTW: I had far worse colds than that so called 'killer virus'.

You mean some people died *with* a cold virus? People die from cancer, obesitas, traffic, smoking, hunger, hearth disease, ... why are those so called Covid deaths more important than other deaths? Even if those 5500000 were real Covid deaths out of a global population of 8000000000 that's peanuts and not worth blowing up the world economy. But hey, I understand, the media got you.

Had (probably) Omikron. Tested positive after my symptoms were gone. While I had symptoms my test was negative. Had worse colds from dirty aircons than that. Better make hotel aircon cleaning mandatory every 3 months!

18 hours ago, Blumpie said:Only conjecture but it sounds like it could have been delta. You were vaccinated so very mild symptoms. With Omicron they usually end 3 days after symptoms like clockwork. That is, if you feel it at all.
I know, it's gone from something to be fearful of to just going "oh shoot, I need to isolate now". I don't fear it anymore.
Got some cold like symptoms starting on an afternoon last week. Took some vitamins etc and went to bed early. Next morning, symptoms already went down. Went to the pharmacy to get a test. Test was negative. Ordered some more tests from Lazada. 4 days later with 0 symptoms I thought let's do another test. Guess what? Positive. Retested myself to be sure. If I didn't had retested myself I would never have known I even had Covid. I have had far worse colds from air conditioners than this. Time for Omicron to run thrive and provide everyone with a free natural booster.

Those time schedules mean nothing. They leave when full, just like the old days. Just be sure to catch the last one back to Pattaya. ????

Someone I know did a volunteer extension with an agent in Pattaya last week and it was 34k (so this is without the needed conversion!). But as there will be a new head of immigration in Isaan from tomorrow on, all bets are off the table.

After 1.5 years people still believe that lockdowns, even hard ones, can stop this virus? Protect the weak and elder and let the rest get on with living.

Thailand might be able to bluff there way through the death rates but the cannot hide the burning of bodies or cold containers full of dead bodies
You still believe all that media <deleted>? I guess you think half of India died also and that Italy and Brasil have no population anymore?

The UK is so far ahead of Thailand in numbers of vaccinations that it is out of sight.
Same happened in India and that country is probably the opposite of the UK. In fact it's very simple. These kind of virii propagate until there's an equilibrium of infected and non infected. That's when it starts to drop fast. Lockdowns or stupid measures they only prolong the economic hardship until the equilibrium has been reached.
For more information study some statistics and graphs. It's all pretty clear.

yes your correct and the alternative is sick,death, for family friends this is not a rock and a hard place, this is easy to choose
I agree, open up would be the best choice. People get sick and/or die all the time. If it isn't from/with Covid, it is from traffic, cancer, hearth strokes, high blood pressure, etc...
Easy talking when you are on welfare. Not so easy talking when you need money to survive.
Possibility for legally doing remote work

Not really.... source of income is where the work is physically done even if it is remote work.
But anyway, Thailand doesn't care about digitals who work from their office at home as long as they don't work for Thai companies, customers, etc...
