 Thanks upnotover

just found that for him to try 

Hi there

hoping someone can help a friend of mine

hes lost his wallet with everything in it, and needs to contact his bank in Stockton on tees

been trying the numbers, but keep getting either no answer, or wrong number 

anyone know what is the correct number to ring ?

trying +44 345 7887444

and + 44 0345 7888444

not sure what I’m doing wrong here, and he’s old and struggles to even use a smart phone now

any help would be much appreciated,

he needs to cancel his bank card (not debit or credit card) and order a new one 

this would go to his daughters, who would then post on to him here in Thailand

Fist you buy a saucepan next you will want to swim in a pool or drink a beer with a meal....

yup

a swim in the pool, nooooo, too cold 

Drinking a beer with a meal , yes 

will it spread the virus too?

wonder how many of the locals will be bypassing these checkpoints on the back roads 

They all did it here when we had lockdowns and road checks, just skirt round it on a back road and on your way

Always pays to check everything is correct before walking away.

 

Thais are renowned for making errors when copying information from a supplied document, be it numbers or wording.

 

Thanks and i quite agree, but for me its a bit hard when i can't read Thai  !

Immigration here seem unable to provide any paperwork in English, or any other language other than Thai, unlike most civilized countries

Food is a necessity, for the immediate future clothing isn’t and they don’t want people going to the stores for non essential item - its that simple and not difficult to figure out ! 

 

 

but, but most people go into these stores, Makro Tesco, Big C to do food shopping , you know, those poor folk who wander around looking at food and the prices, so why not look and buy so called non essential items

But you have not explained how stopping buying pots and pans will stop the virus, even if someone just goes into the shop to buy a pan

Smoking has for many years been increasingly banned. And taxed.

 

Vehicles are regulated by hundreds of rules because they kill.

 

Laws are being enforced to reduce the covid deaths. 
 

same same

You were doing so good till i read the second line 

You mean these rules, which most people ignore , these regulations that the police refuse to enforce ?

Laws are being enforced to reduce Covid deasths ? 

you mean the social distancing, the signing in at shops and malls, the wearing of masks all the time, the no drinking of alcohol, , all these that are ignored again by the majority of the people here

Because you'll be spending less time in that busy Tesco or Makro.

wow, less time ?

so you say we should be rushed and herded through eh store because we might catch the virus, and stopping to pick up any extra items will be deadly ? What if i linger over the meat counter too long, or get stuck in the queue to check out, will we die ?

I'm guessing your reply was meant to be a joke, yes/No ?

Well the more it spreads and mutates - becoming more infectious and better at killing - the quicker that day will come. Some people only think about today.

but but but, your saying that it will continue to spread and mutate, therefore making the vaccine almost useless ?

Nice opinion on the "better killing and more infectious ", bit short on truth and facts, but hey, your welcome to your opinion like anyone else

I'll try to help you there: shopping for clothes can be postponed by a couple of months, shopping for food can't. If you still don't get it you can PM me @Anutin.

 

I don't get it, so can you explain to me please

If i'm in a busy Tesco or Makro, with no social distancing, buying food to eat, how will preventing me buying non food, like a saucepan, or a jacket stop the virus ?

Back AGAIN

The saga continues 

Well turned up this morning ( 6th time) for my certificate of residency, about 30 minute wait, and then got it, no worries 

So off to the hospital for my medical ( 3 rd time) no worries, 20 minutes and 100 baht and all good

Goes to DLT office and gives the paperwork to lady, who looks though it all, and the new certificate, then goes off to talk to someone

Come back, puts all the papers on the counter and says, 

No good, need immigration !

managed to work out that the immigration had put my house number down as No 2, NOT No 12

So back to immigration ( 7 times now) and after around 1 hour and a lot of talking, finally get to see an occifer , who when i explain what's wrong, tells me its my fault !!

Refused to explain or answer when i said, you print it, you check it, you sign it, how is it my fault but just said, not my job

Told cant just alter the number by adding a 1, oh noooo, not allowed

You need new paper now, so we need all new paperwork from you, ? I gave up at this point, threw all the papers to her and said you sort it out with those\Finally , after a lot of huffing, puffing and glaring at me she said, come back Friday maybe ready then

soooo, we will see what happens Friday morning, No 8, but if ok, still means another medical No 4 and another trip tp DLT ,No 3

Have you considered a yellow book? 

Nope

how would i go about getting a yellow book, if i don't own any property, or rent any property ?

Live with my lady in her house, so she does the TM30 paperwork 

BACK AGAIN

Another wasted journey again today\seems  the boss man is too busy to come to the office this week, so can't sign my papers

Told to come back  next Wednesday , when he should have time to come to the office and sign them

Asked for some letter to show i'm waiting for new licence, so i don't get fined if stopped, but surprise surprise, no can do

So now over 2 months trying to renew my licence ,which expired 21st November 

and these people want us to treat them with respect ??

well. an update for everyone on here 

it seems that the TM30 reporting, for any stay in hotels, guesthouse, etc, requires a TM 30 change of address on return

This is Nakhon Phanom immigration office, who say they have never seen or heard about the 30th June notice saying TM30s are no longer required and that i should eb happy, they not fine me for not coming earlier !

So the TM30 in my passport, the TM30 i did for my licence renewal is not acceptable, so luckily i had the correct paperwork to do another one 

That's 3 in 2 months !

So it seems that we have certain offices that are too stupid to read, or understand the rules, and they certainly don't like it when you point them out to them 

Not only did i have to waste nearly 2 hours, i STILL don't have my certificate of address, to enable me to get my licence

Seems they forgot to get it signed by some boss man, who is not back till Friday, so another 100k trip to , hopefully , get this paperwork at last

so far 5 trips, 2 medicals, 3 TM 30s, and umpteen papers, 

And they still want us to treat them with respect !!

Tried to find the official copy form immigration showing this 30th June 20 report on not required any more, but comes up unavailable

any oner have a link or something to it, so i can print it off and stick it under their noses ?

although did that with the 2 months prior and 3 months after  money i bank, but they say, no understand that and pushed it back to me saying,  we not use, we say 3 months prior, 3 months after, now we fine you 1,000 baht for being 1 day late !

is this the same Astra Zeneca vaccine with an effective rate of possibly 70% ?

so even if we manage to vaccinate the whole population of 68 miilion, ? then that means there will be a round 20 million people still able to infect others and potentially die from this : deadly: virus 

And this is not counting the other 15_20 million people who cannot, for any reason, have the vaccine 

So maybe slow it down, maybe ? 

Eradicate it ? in your dreams

Astra Zeneca has been produced to be non profit and this is known throughout the world, however the Thai Generals wont want that. Brown envelopes and sticky fingers.

 

????????????

is this the same Astra Zeneca that has had numerous court cases and paid out billions in fines and compensation to the courts and the poor sods who took their meds and vaccines, then found themselves with debilitating illness after Astra lied and misinformed them about passing the safety tests, about how safe they were, about how they had had long term testing , when they knew they had not

See how many outstanding cases still remaining against Astra Zeneca, even after their almost annual outing to the courts 

sound familiar  to this vaccine by any chance ?

Will have had a negative Covid test within 72 hours of travel, however tested positive whilst in an ASQ.   The whole point of quarantine for 14 days to be sure an individual doesn't have the virus.

used to be 75 quid to buy a fit to fly certificate on e bay, way too expensive > How much on Khoasan Road , 500 baht ?

People from the UK shouldn't be leaving to go on holiday anywhere outside the UK - and there shouldn't be anyone arriving either.

 

A national lockdown may hurt the economy, as we have seen so many TVF members post on different threads, but the fact is that if you initiate a harsh lockdown until the virus is eradicated, then you're going to be laughing happily to the bank. China did this and is now the only economy that is growing. China should never be an example of anything, as they have a terrible human rights record. However, I think we can all acknowledge that they contained the virus (which started in China) successfully.

 

Plague island (UK) needs to be shut off from the world - only goods and emergency travel should be allowed. If these measures had been implemented at the very begining then perhaps the UK wouldn't be in this situation. Approaching 60k cases a day now. Quite what this family of four was thinking is beyond me. They've now selfishly prevented any Brits still waiting to get back to their families here, all because they wanted a holiday. Selfish a-holes.

confused

so we have an unknown amount of infected people in Thailand

So as you say, we lock down completely ? How hard a lockdown ? stop all traffic between provinces, including transport, food, etc, plus any essential workers ?

And whay happens in these locked down provinces, these with an unknown amount of infectious carriers ? do we let these continue to infect all the people in the province, and let the deaths increase ? 

surely if you have thousands of infected people locked into an area, who can, and will still intermix, then how will this prevent the spread, or the increase in deaths ?

You have almost all effectively closed restaurants for dine in. You should have closed off all travel when this first started and none of this would be necessary. Again a fine example of effective leadership

does this "all Travel" include deliveries, food distributions, essential workers crossing into different provinces to work  ?

If not then a complete waste of time 

especially when most Thais, and farangs, know he back roads to by pass these blocks

If I drink 15 I'm not so sure, so I guess they are trying to stop people from getting drunk.

Will be instersting to see what this means in practice.

 

 

 

maybe it means like the last big lockdown, we use the back roads like all Thais to bypass the control checks

Same as the beer. if village shops run out, got to the local town and buy from there, maybe 6 am but no worries 

sam4 as going to the next province to meet up at the bars , just like the Thais, so not sure how having the plods sat on the roadside will ever stop it in any way
