Truly amazing, even for Thailand.

not really. USA is much more amazing in this field

SO now all countries can use the TEST AND GO  ? those are good news.

so what about my SAND BOX application ? can i change it to test and go?

the reason for this saudi move is supporting USA in it's alliance against Iran and China.

but the story of the stolen blue diamond is an amazing one that did not get the right attention.

anyone who thinks about doing serious business in thailand should study this story carefully,

and reach his conclusions.

simply unbelievable from begining to end, with the highest level of childish corruption

that can be found only in early middle ages legends.

it all depands on your net worth.

i think an expat who does not own a business / job in thailand, should bring / invest

in thailand no more than 5-10% of his net worth.

that is because the rules and regulations here are not clear and everchanging, so in case

you get in unpredictable troubles (i was once threatened with ARREST by immigration in bangkok airport

just because i could not remember on which airline i came to thailand !!!)

you can pack all quickly and leave.

COD yes , but fakes are pretty easy to spot . If i see something , i check other items in the shop and possibly also the shop location / streetview . There is also the thing , do not expect to pay peanuts for a caviar item . There is many types of shops on both , some specialist shops , some just a bunch of goods . Avoid shops which do just a bunch of good in different categories if you do not want a fake or cheap item . For example if you want to buy a gpu , buy it from a computer shop , and yes they are on shopee and lazada .

I got preference on Lazada , but that's just because i'm used to how their system works and they were much faster with a English version of their website .

MOST traders on lazada are honest, but there are few rotten apples that destroy for all the others. the problem lies with lazada management - they do not punish or kick out the crooks.

that is why you can find a fake iphone12 , fully priced,  besides a genuine one. no warning or note in the fake one that it is fake. when you discover it is too late and you will lose either a lot of time , trying to get your money back, or your time and money.

Philippines

???? Beginning February 16th, travelers must be fully vaccinated to enter the Philippines.

Effective January 22nd, travelers with a vaccination or recovery certificate no longer need a pre-travel PCR or antigen test. Unvaccinated people will still be required to present a pre-travel test but will no longer need to get a test after arriving in Switzerland. 

Moldova no longer requires fully vaccinated travelers to present a pre-travel test. People can now travel to Moldova without having to self-isolate if they have one of the following: a vaccination certificate showing they are fully vaccinated, a PCR test within 72 hours before departure, an antigen test within 48 hours before departure, a COVID-19 antibodies certificate (valid for 90 days), or a medical certificate attesting they had COVID-19 in the previous 6 months.

do you think that in february they will change the sandbox rules, and reduce the PCR test to only 1 (instead of 1 now)?

i am about to file another PASS application but not sure if to do it now or wait to 1 february,

maybe that will be easier.

interesting to know how many were tested positive and what was the ratio between paid customers and positive found customers.

if , say, only 3% were found positive, as the official statistics are, than the company can still make money.

THIS GUY IS AN IO GENIUS

To apply for a new O or O-A visa requires more extensive insuranec

to apply for non-O does NOT require any insurance

now is the best time to travel, but not to\in thailand.

acctually the pandemic is over and most of the world (not asia) open

normally with millions of people in the streets.

seems like another glitch in their system.

i got today another notification that new rule from the government

says the hotel must be fully paid in advance.

did'nt you publish similar post few days ago? well nothing changed

absolutely no reason at all to own a car in a city like bangkok.

there are cheap taxis everywhere and with MRT you can get anywhere FAST.

note that i did not say cheap, i said fast, but it will be also cheaper to use the public

transport and taxis.

we once calculated that even is you spend 150 baht on taxis daily, it will be cheaper

,annualy, than owning a car, and you will even save time on park searching.

“We have been pioneers on this front in many aspects,”

he is right. thailand is a leading nation in so many fields, surely they know what they

are doing with this covid.

many even argue that cobid-19 was never a pandemic to begin with, just another flu, and the whole set up

was planned years ahead with the vaccines and world hysteria.

in the spirit of the campain: DON'T DRINK, DRIVE,

I suggest  a new slogan :

DON'T CHEW, SWALLOW.

i guess they like it that way. this really came to my mind after my 2 failed attempts

to apply for the THAILAND PASS and pay for pcr IN PSAS .

I DID NOT EVEN GET A REJECTION reply, they just ignored me, even that i booked a flight

and a hotel with that PASS application.

so if they truly cared about tourism and jobs- they would propably imporve it, since they

did not do anything to improve despite the many complaints, and even made it worst by

adding that stupid PSAS site - than they propably do not care about their own people and economy.
