Yes,

 

one time I was stopped in Hua HIn and as my Thai licence had expired I gave the cop myvalid  UK licence.

 

Not accepted.

 

So gave him my expired Thai licence.

 

No accepted.

 

So gave him my expired IDP.

 

All smiles and waved on my way!

Did you insert a 100Thb bill in it?? lol

I think you might have had the same reply as I did, which was an auto reply saying your application was successful.

It then say's an appointment will be sent to you in the future "to which you must reply within 24 hours or it will be cancelled".

Not it will be sent within 24 hours.

 

Yeah, they Copy/Paste from one email address to another. 5555

Well given the complete lack of competence demonstrated so far by the Ministry of Public Health why should they not have a go?

 

Frankly the Ministry of Silly Walks would be in with a chance of doing better!

Next week it'll be TAT. 55555

If I did not have my wife with me it would have been almost impossible as no one spoke English. But there were only 2 other farangs so that is understandable.

Do they speak Swahili?? 55555

Not for a while yet.... I expect it will be after having had 2 vacs and so far nothing!

Exactly, by that time we'll all be dehydrated. 55555

I have the 13 digit code too and waiting couple months for a Vax date but I registered on this newest system that is for “first shot only”!

I’ll make by decision with whoever calls me first!

 

Me too, enlisted in 2 different ones, waiting, so far nothing. Nothing is really , not blaming anyone, well organized. In this latest one there is a possibility to register as PR, BUT there is no allocated space for Th ID card number, only Passport ????? Maybe something that our friends following FB could / should point out.....

Pretty naïve really, with the UK having reached 73% fully vaccinated (with well regarded vaccine) and daily deaths under 100 for the last few  days, Thailand is only at 5% and using a vaccine of  concerning efficacy,   and deaths well over 100 and rising. It is more about where we are now, not where we have been. 

 

 

What is probably even more important is where we are going... One's for sure, not to the bar...

Yes i myself have a friend who rents a bungalow year by year he hopes to come to Samui via Samui plus he will get 45 days we are trying to work out how he can get a visa to stay permanent. big problem is he has not got a Thai bank account  . he has all the paperwork insurance two jabs etc. flight booked for 25 August .only can hope by then the Samui plus is still open . stay safe my friend 

The Th Bank account should not be a problem.....

Maths not our strong point? 800 million baht divided by 14,000 people equates to just over 57K baht per person. Entirely plausible given the higher rates that most SHA+ hotels are charging. Probably not much being spent out on the streets though.

Absolutely correct. Nowhere to spend money except in their overpriced private expanded confinement....When you add a mandatory stay of 14 days this brings you to 4071Thb / Person incl. hotel .... Have a look at the ASQ Hotel rates, how much is left?????

I got through very quickly yesterday at 11:20 am Sunday. I live in Ubon Ratchathani. My problem was in the visa section. I have no visa as I am a permanent resident (PR). Thee was no category for those with PR. Last night, at about 8 pm, I received an email saying the site had recerived my email address and I should proceed with registering. I replied that there was no category for those with PR. This morning I clicked into the site and found that PR had been added. A few minutes later I successfully completed the registration.  Even though I am 71 years of age, I don't hold out much hope of receiving a  vaccination from registering at this site. 

There is a category PR listed in Visa type....

Not a great way to be thinking, IMHO. Some things may change, but some things stay the same. 

 

Think back to when you were a child. You would create things out the materials that you had at hand and fill in the parts that you did not, with make-believe.

It's up to you to create the world that you want to see. If I believe people mostly care about each other; then I act in a caring way, mostly. ????

Not liking the world is only a reflection of your state of mind. There are billions of amazing people out there.... I'm sure ????

 

 

 

Wouldn't it be great to know one out of these billions??? ????

Not quite. While you can make any offer online. It is from limited information compared to a face to face interaction. I.E. When an online girl shows up you could be in for some surprises you did not want.

But the good news is it's about the only option these days.

You could go 7/11 and find out. 55555

I am in full agreement with your plan. That form of grape juice is one of my primary essentials.

I was crushed last weekend when I was unaware of "no alcohol day" and had a good selection turned back at the checkout! Felt a little better when the  checkout operator was confused when the scanner would not register until the next one over quietly reminded her of why .

Felt a little better or bitter?? LOL

We use Makro for doggie food (Pedigree small adult) but our creatures are fussy over treats. Takumi Dogaholic Chicken Jerky required, panic over as a different Lotus's had the relevant stuff today.

That's what you get with HiSo animals. 5555555

You missed a lot. It's under discussion and evaluation since weeks.

I think Thailand is not the only one.

 

Hoping that the second jab will be AZ I will take the Sinovac stuff tomorrow.

You can trust the plans/promises in this country, don't you?

How about the upcoming 3rd one?? 55555

People food no problem, but we are running out of doggie treats (Tesco, sorry Lotus's were nil stock today) and our two rottweilers will kill me if they don't get their treats.

 

OK, they're chihuahuas, but in their minds they are rottweilers ???? 

Are you far from Makro?? They stock Kgs+++++++
