Will update 1 may. Some still will come before.
So what if you fly into Thailand say May 3?
-
Anyone up to speed what the requirements for Thai nationals are? They still need ThailandPass?
And can ThailandPass already be applied for now for entries after May 1st?

It's simple and anyone with a bit of brain knows: drop all Covid restrictions.
Thailand, known for its bureaucratic hassles, is not worth these hassles.
Am currently in Europa. No more masks, no more restrictions, life back to normal.
Of course Thailand could do the same without risking any death wave.
But as long as the brains-in-charge can't differentiate between mild and severe cases, well...
Just as a reminder: pre-Covid there were some 45k flu death victims yearly in LOS.
Of course, our control freaks in Thailand won't let go easily of this chance to control us.

So what are good makes of implants? and ones to avoid?
Well the top one I reckon are Straumann ceramic implants. Korean products seem to be the cheapest.
It's quite important how the material used reacts with the body over long time.
-
Don't try to save money on an implant, material used is crucial. You get cheaper material, sure will be okay for a few years...
It's one of those events to preventively better pay more than less.
Most bigger clinics do a good job, some overcharge for bone graft, should not be more than 5k baht or so.
Altogether 70k-80k for one implant should give you a solid result.
Oh and doing the surgery and getting the implant fixated are two completely different crafts. I'd chose a clinic with specific specialitsts, not an allrounder.

Finally some hope for this country, but the regime's cheating and lying to fight off change will be unsurpassed.

Inflation invites higher interest rates , that you can not ignore .
Higher interest paid to investors could well change many ways people invest .
There is no interest paid for money in any crypto currency account .
Lots of options to earn solid interest on crypto, DYOR.

On another note: Thailand is quite crypto-friendly and one more the more progressive countries in regards to blockchain revolutionizing finance and other sectors.
Why would anyone use banks these days to wire money internationally? New much cheaper and much faster services mostly run on such blockchains, e.g. XRPL. You won't know you're using it, but select digital currencies are for real, solving real problems.
Of course anyone has the right to ignore progress. If you're happy with the meager interest a bank account pays, oh wait, did I mention inflation?

What crypto coin is it?
- 27 trillion in circulation
- unlimited supply cap
- only 1 node
- 1% of holders own 30%
- 25% supply minted in the last 6 months
- 38 million notes printed every day
- loses at least 3% of value every year
- in a bear market since its conception
That's your normal <deleted>coin. But there's real value out there. DYOR.

95% of the responses just prove: it's still very, very early ????

Nothing will work for tourism as long as Thailand has this arbitrary quarantine scheme. People who test themselves negative get positive results, insurances don't cover asymptomatic quarantine, etc. etc.
Thailand gets a lot of bad press currently in the West for the quarantine ripoffs and arbitrariness.
Travelers prefer countries with less to zero such hassles, and there are many to choose from.
Thailand overestimates itself once again grandiosely.

In the long-term it's still a good entry point. Even better so because there was like three months consolidation now, preparing for a next move. If the OP has a time horizon of say 3-5 years, it will be very worthwhile.
Just don't get into trading, it's like catching a falling knife, no one succeeds.
Many already wish they'd bought earlier. But they keep on repeating the stale old arguments - criminals use it, it's not secure tech, etc. In fact, cash is more difficult to track - and assets get more and more digitized, meaning initially the Internet was all about transfer of information, now we're about the enter the Internet of value.
Stocks, properties, everything will get tokenized.
Better stay with cash and banks? They're a thing of the past soon.
Actually, one can never have enough quality crypto tokens. Again, it's still early, relatively. Once Bitcoin tops $150-200k, everyone wants to jump in. Mark my words. This is just the beginning.

There are some craft beer places in Bangkok with great beer. Cambodia’s Kingdom Brewery does some nice brews for the Thai market, but difficult to find.
But everything in Thailand monopolizes even more, given the undemocratic power structures. No hope here for that bill. Even though, what’s going on with cannabis is a bit surprising.
In the meantime I’m quite pleased with Singha’s Reserve brew. Quite hoppy and tasty, not your average Thai beer at all!

The question had popped up in here about change of tax number once you become Thai. Went to the tax office yesterday, all I had to do is sign a form. Now the Thai ID no. is the regular tax ID no. Easy, no complications and no additional documents required.

There's a telling interview in the other newspaper titled "Grimaces replace smiles for retirees" (not allowed to post link here) with some interesting facts and numbers. Hardly any Permanent Residencies granted less than 800 in two years...
Quotes by the immigration's deputy chief.
Also says holders of Permanent Residency can work? That's news to me. Makes the strong case how not easy it still is to attain citizenship here...

Anyone aware of any after-stroke care & rehab facility in Chanthaburi province? Person with stroke received first emergency care at Trat Hospital, but they're not the typical gov't hospital it seems, they lack everything.
Any insights appreciated.

The attitude of oh so many foreigners here to be above the law is embarrassing for the rest of us. Of course no one likes wearing the mask and debates about protection will continue endlessly.
But as if they claim to be more intelligent, special breeds, foreigners again and again display their uncovered mugs with stern face, like shouting: dare to tell me I should wear a mask?
Had a recent confrontation with a lousy Italian freak guy at Apple Store Central World. He was dirty and smelling and wearing old shabby cloths - and sitting there "testing" an iPad, clearly above his budget. Of course he did not wear a mask.
Apple staff obviously were hesitant to confront him, somebody asked him politely to please cover his face, and Apple shops are quite strict about those rules. Oh man he began shouting about freedom and stuff and he's a customer here willing to spend a lot of money.
Couldn't keep my temper down and let him know he's an embarrassment to the rest of us.
Anyways, all the foreigners around here not wearing the mask is not an act of defiance, it's a sign of arrogance and non-respect towards everyone else trying to just get along.
So whatever the reasons for the OP's "arrest": if you're one of this arrogant breed, well done boys in brown.

Download the QueQ app from App Store or Google Play. You can make an online booking for any booster you want - Moderna, Pfizer or AZ.
App menu is in English, but vaccination centers are in Thai. Overall pretty easy to manage though, our whole family got a booster appointment within a few days at the Thonburi vax center.
It's for first, second and third shots, Thai citizen and foreigners. I don't think they distinguish whether you had your other shots abroad.
Gd luck!

Unrelated but relating to an earlier thread: by getting Thai citizenship one is automatically added into the national healthcare system (NHSO), even when one did not have a social security number as a resident.
Nothing needs to be done, the system adds you automatically once citizenship is processed. That's quite neat.

What is the advantage to changing other than promotions, etc.? I hadn't even thought of doing that.
Besides the legality issue, as a Thai you receive interest ! My Kasikorn branch however was not able to transfer the account, had to close the old and issue a new one.

My khet (Wattana) insist on a copy of the MOI letter sent to the individual applicant - NOT the letter sent by MOI to SB advising that 'X' has been approved for Thai nationality, a copy of which you get given by SB. Luckily I did receive said letter although it's literally just a pre-paid postage item folded and stapled, not even in an envelope and certainly not registered / EMS delivery.
Incidentally, the letter says that the process at the khet has to be completed within 60 days of getting Thai nationality, which it specifies as the date of publication in the RG. Of course the letter was dated a month after RG publication and didn't arrive at my address for another 2 weeks ...
Once I've completed all the steps at Wattana I'll post more fully but for now let's just say it's by no means "in an out in a day".
Wattana is a bit tricky, I just completed my ID marathon there in Sep/Oct last year. They insist on the district chief signing everything, but she's hardly ever available... you have to keep pushing... the 60 days no one respects, they all say 60 days doesn't matter.
At Wattana they also say they receive so many NEW citizens, so they are overworked... guess it's mainly the government employee's syndrome. During last Covid measures they issued tickets, to please come the next day... yet most staff were sitting idle... nice people, and once the ball gets rolling things move quickly.
