Talk really quietly then use a football ref's whistle.

I believe the bribe was offered after they'd been arrested. Way too far down the rabbit hole by then.

I seem to remember them having this egate system for arrivals at Heathrow for a while, and I never had a problem with it. Very quick in fact. But it must have worked too well because they abandoned it.

In fairness, she did "fret". https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2023/03/01/police-probe-death-of-finn-near-pattaya-markku-tapani-karjalainen/

Probably a valid observation.

Oh well that's that solved then.

Going back to the OP: One nearly opposite Lucky Bar One near Warorot Market One near the UN Irish Pub One near the Exhibition Centre One up from Chiangmai Gate I'm sure more will pop up or others can add to the list,

I live in Changpuek and Grab is usually around 100-120 to the south/east of the city. Bolt is around 70-80, but they are like rocking horse poo to find. Much easier going home in fairness.

Which in the case of some of the posters here is non-existent.

whoop de doo, that's some "conclusion" with next to no basis in science. How about (from 2016): https://www.beckersasc.com/asc-quality-infection-control/staphylococcus-aureus-infections-can-cause-blindness-4-insights.html

There isn't. Staph infections and damaged sight is not a new thing.

Of Staph? Yes they have, for years. Did you do anything but google "Covid vaccines bad"?

It's staph, which is a common bacteria which afflicts many hospitals around the world, even those with much higher standards than many in Thailand. And occular cellulitis with accompanying impaired vision or blindness is a far more common result of staph infections than you would think. Scientific papers discussing these facts are not difficult to find. Of course the antivax brigade will be all over this like a cheap suit, because they tend to avoid things like proven science.

let's not forget Anutin was the main reason Thailand was on it. ????

Yes, that would be a bit of a game changer for those travelling from afar.

But that was before someone came up with "swab hubs"....

Rapid Tests are not very reliable.

They've had two occasions where sandbox arrivals have tested positive on arrival having tested negative a few days earlier. The Delta variant takes about four days on average to show up I believe.

Perhaps you could do it with ThailandPass. Other countries collect and verify data to allow visa exempt travel. e.g. the US has ESTA.

Mine has stopped updating completely at build 20000 because it doesn't support the checks. Mind you it's that old it doesn't even have TPM. ???? Maybe this will work for some but it didn't work for me. https://www.techspot.com/news/91691-here-how-bypass-windows-11-tpm-cpu-requirements.html

Erm...

I think they will change before the end of the week. And then possibly change again before November 1st.

They announced this new app this morning to replace COE. Essentially you will still upload vaccine certs, insurance, etc. to a site, then when they've verified it they will send you an email with a QR code. It looks as if scanning that code ties your documents to the app which you can then flash on arrival. I *think* that's how it's going to work, but you decide. It could equally well be a new version of "Red Light, Green Light".

The pretty picture of the new ThailandPass they announced today - to replace COE - suggests that Covid Insurance is still required.

Do any of the telcos in Thailand offer bundling of mobile phone/data and home internet plans?
