9-10 months to vaccinate 50%... In other news, Thailand to open borders in April 2022 upon vaccination of 70% of the population.

Ask your kids to pretend to be gay. Always works.

Yeah, completely secure. Saw two passport pages of a foreigner girl on the flipsite of the "Do not overstay" form they gave me last time at Chaengwattana... She looked cute. Should I go back there and ask for her phone number?

You mean they pay as 50 baht to take this thing off their hands? Okay, count me in, good for a beer...

Are you implying that Thai cops and clowns are the same?

That's why plastic bags are banned now, no doubt.

... and to 'mail' your regular brown envelopes in time, so that their good work can go on.

This is directed towards whom? Everyone in the world? Is the Thailand Royal Police the international online police now?

I always tell myself, with all the dirt and filth in Thailand, who worries about something fallen onto the kitchen floor? If you're still alive after 4+ weeks in Thailand, chances are good that those dropped chicken breasts won't be bad for you.

I got one into my passport more than 20 years ago for overstaying 2 days. (Yes, I'm a hardened criminal. LOL) Normal blue colour, not red.

That's what I thought, too. Probably not even taken in Thailand...

Bread(t)-on? Rye-kjavik?

Is it open to Non-Thais?

Yes, I got that email from Grace, too. LOL

Letting him leave without squeezing out money of him for his heinous crime of overstaying? Not the Thai way...

Will booster shots be offered to the wider public. All I see is hospitals offering two shots Moderna. But where can I get 1 booster shot?

Exactly. Enjoyed awesome red wine in Australia, 10-15 AUD the bottle. What they sell here in Thailand must be the worst Aussie wine, retail in Oz, what 5 bucks? Sold here for 350 to 600 baht!

About time some quality Australian red wine made it to Thailand. What one can buy here is terrible, and the prices are ridiculous.

Yes, at the larger branches with foreign customer traffic they seem to be more competent. However, I went to a large K-Bank branch near Victory Monument once. For some reason the branch manager went out of his way to help me pay a bill. I gave him the money, he went to a cashier, cashier takes money, counts out change, branch manager counts too, comes to me, sitting at a counter booth, hands me the slip and the change... Change is wrong and 12 baht short! Something like that never happened to me at other Thai banks. But yes, at some K-Bank branches they have cute assistants standing around like hostesses...

Could someone please give me updated info on how Thai citizens can return to Thailand from Malaysia? What documents are currently needed to fly in? What, if any, border crossings Malaysia/Thailand are open?

Did the clerk also go for 30 minutes through your passport, intently checking every single visa from other countries 4-5 times? (My passport is almost full.) - After 2 minutes, of the bank clerk being unable to find my latest visa extension, I politely pointed it out to her on one of the last pages. Still she had to (try to) read what was written on every China- , Cambodia visa, etc., from six years ago! Then she went to the branch manager, with the same procedure going on for another 15 minutes. - Absolutely clueless. In my experience, staff at the smaller K-Bank branches have to be the most incompetent of any bank in Thailand. Got a debit card in the end, after the clerk had told me at first I could get an ATM card. At least I can avoid going into the bank now, where staff don't speak English and are clueless.

But changing the reason to working is easy? The problem for the work permit application then is the visa category, even if it was changed by immigration to 'working'?

I tried to google 'Kasikorn ATM card', but only found debit cards. I don't have much use for debit cards in Thailand, but would prefer a simple ATM card. Does Kasikornbank still give out 'ATM cards'? If not, could I, at least use the debit card I receive for online purchases (e.g. Agoda, Air Asia), or ATM withdrawals abroad (e.g. Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Vietnam)? Who has experience using Kasikorn debit cards for online purchases and ATM withdrawals overseas?

Never got into K-Pop. I get the homogeneous groups, the dancing, costumes and makeup. But do they actually call this singing?

Can be done? If yes, how long is the new extension valid, if original extension was for 1 year?
