We cannot get a Yellow Covid-19 vaccine passport issued in Thailand IF we have received our vaccines outside of Thailand.

 

 

 

 

 

So we cannot go out for diner if the restaurant wants a proof to be fully vaxxed? Or is there a way for tourists/expats who got their shots in the home country? Get tested each time before entering a restaurant?

Why not ?

Because you can't know today if they're already bankrupt tomorrow.

Interesting as at odds with all the other replies but thanks.

Would be the 23.30pm flight. 

A night flight from BKK to Europe is a good choice. You're tired when boarding and you wake up in Europe's morning. Pre covid I took the Thai direct flight to Munich regulary. Departing at 0:50 am and I felt less jetlag.

...My advice, fly Emirates...

Good advice. Emirates did always very well for me. SIA is a fine airline too. And a couple of years ago Oman Air had the best availabe BC from Asia to Europe with very reasonable prices. But that has changed since 2018 or so.

Anecdotal or experienced yourself?

Finnair BC I experienced myself. KLM was used by friends and there are hundreds of horrible reviews too. 

It might have something to do with the announced opening of the country

Finn Air and KLM are known for the worst possible service om ground and on board.

Thailand plans to end Covid quarantine requirements for fully vaccinated travellers from at least 10 low-risk nations from 1 November, officials say.

According to German media it's already decided. 

And please be very carfeful using internet. The virus could be downloaded.

High floor, beachfront and the only direct neighbor is a nice Bangkokian who comes here with his family 2-3 times a year for a weekend. 

No drinking, said the beloved and honorable general. You see how right he was.

No parties, no drinking, no gambling?

No sex, no restaurants, no walk in the streets, no fun at all.

But do not forget: No take brown envelops. The virus could sit on it and kill you

well lets work out a quick budget say for a 70yo male living in Pattaya 

 

1 bedroom condo say near jomtien ......about 10,000 a month ?

grocery ,3000 baht

enertainment 15000

utilities internet,electrcity water 4000

health 1000

still leaves over 10,000 baht

That's far from what I would call comfortably, but for sure better than the same amount in one of our home countries.

Btw: What about health insurance? Right now it's not mandatory for extensions based on O-Visa but I bet that will change.

Golden Rolex look like pimp watches imo, but SEA is a a good place to wear those items because anyone expects they are 1k-Baht fakes.

When I was robbed in Laos ages ago, they took my wallet with a few USD but were not interested in my Speedmaster

more fantasy fiction ….. concur with CherryTree on this…….

Pattaya must be the worldwide capital of condo delapidation & mismanagement….. …and sleaze….weekends there I get….. but what on earth is the attraction to actually live there ? ……ladyboys maybe ?

fantasy fiction? google "Saranchol" or "Silver Beach" and learn.

I am long enough in Thailand and Pattaya to know that most condos are badly managed and maintained. But who claims "all" has no idea or only knows the cheap charlie places behind third road.

What's the attraction to live there? Well, restaurants, supermarkets, short way to downtown, the compared to BKK much better climate (if you live right at the beach), sports facilities, golf courses and more.

Yes, Infrastructure is extremely bad. The streets, water and electricity supply, stinking chinese tour busses - all known. But this is SEA, not Switzerland you know.

And I confess, there are people who prefere to live in Issan's middle of the nowhere, who like to chat with their toothless neighbor about the deceases of his water buffalo, enjoy the cheap lao kao there and the shopping opportunities in mama's bamboo hut shop next door.

To each whar he deserves or likes.
