It is required for all entries to the country. Your visa or extension of stay type does no matter. I take it this means I need proof of Covid insurance to apply for extension of stay based on retirement (will be going to CW in Jan.). If so, what docs do they want to see? I have April health insurance which covers Covid I know.

No difference from Thai FDA point of view. All imported meds need FDA clearance. Which DHL does for you. Of course, an occasional small shipment of some benign prescription med by regular mail can slip through. But you are asking for trouble regardless.

aussiexpat, you are talking out of your, er, downunder. Like Thailand India has a vaccine database based on national id. If Thailand-India choose to travel bubble (no flights yet between the two) they'll share access to these DBs. So forging vax docs is not going to be a smart option. Plus, vaccination is easily available in India and there is almost zero anti-vax lunacy there. As for numbers, fully vaccinated in India currently 25% and new infections yesterday was 13k in a country of 1billion+. Which suggests that if you are fully vaxed the chance of being infected in India is near zero. The reason India wasn't in the initial 46 countries is that one of their two main vaccines is not yet listed by WHO. They use Covishield which is AstraZeneca and recognized and fine. The other one is Covaxin which is in the final stages of WHO approval but not done yet (final meet next Wed.). Thailand didn't want to be in the situation of having to choose between fully vaxxed Indians but now they seem to have jumped the gun by a few days.

Fluvoxamine is a powerful anti-depressant which studies have shown that even if you get really sick with something you'll still feel great.

30k-40k if I remember correctly what I paid when I left. Mind you that includes a post-op meds charge, probably 8k, which would likely have cost a few hundred at the pharmacy across the street. Weren't you sedated for the procedure? They put me to sleep. The bowel cleansing wasn't fun but certainly not painful and I wasn't conscious for the actual procedure so zero pain. I would recommend Bumrungrud with a couple of reservations: (a) Meds are crazy expensive. You need to go out and buy. (b) They keep (or at least this doc did) trying to push additional procedures/treatments.

Bumrungrud a couple of months ago. Told to eat very light the night before. Then went into the hospital at 8am for prep. They gave me a room (not inpatient, no bed, just a couple of chairs) with restroom attached and two huge bottles of laxative liquid to take. Which of course had me on the toilet every few mins. After the first few movements the nurse came in to take pics of my poop and was happy when it reached a desired coloration (I kid you not). The op (colonoscopy and endoscopy) in the afternoon was after sedation so I felt nothing. In fact, woke up feeling incredibly fresh which made me appreciate why Michael Jackson liked to be knocked out by his doc each night. Anyways, executive summary took half a day, painless though somewhat expensive.

Care to share the reason? We're all anonymous here.

Excellent. But I believe their hours now are restricted. Went in the evening couple of weeks ago and it was all shuttered.

Actually, a good point HW. The answer lies in "Emergency use Authorization." Which is invoked when an illness poses a public health emergency. FDA assesses the med for a balance between risk and benefit before allowing use. EUA was used to bring the first AIDS drugs to market and saved thousands of lives. Same thing with the mRNA vaxes and C-19. After EUA, data is compiled and followed for regular authorization. In the case of the AIDS cocktails nothing untoward was found. All good. Ditto mRNA vaccines. Millions have been administered and there's no evidence of consistent adverse events.

Antivax is an industry. Con artists making money of halfwits. That's their right and their business. But the problem is the virus risk they pose to the rest of us.

In case anyone is interested here are prices (from a visit to the Institute of Dermatology) today: Scapho Jab 14,000b. Tremfya Jab 70,000b. These were quoted by a doc there to me, an obvious foreigner. Are these prices Thais pay or foreigners enrolled in the Thai system? I don't know but seriously doubt it. I can't imagine a Govt. run hospital, which is what the ID is, charging citizens 70k b. a shot of anything.

Are these currently the only biologics available in Thailand? How about Skyrizi or another? Any idea of the cost?

Thanks all. Today I went to JIB, who had assembled the PC, and explained the problem. I ordered a new printer from them because the Canon is growing long in the tooth and has paper feed issues. The deal is when the new printer comes in I'll take my PC in and they'll set up the printer and (hopefully) fix the disabled USB port. Yes, I know. There is a price to pay if one is a klutz. Like having to unplug a PC and carry it 3 km. in order to connect a printer. Go ahead laugh. I don't care.

Could be the same issue as below. Couple of days ago I pushed a pretty little thing against the PC table. But seriously I have no intention of messing around myself and causing further damage (accidentally deleting stuff, etc.). I might just take it back to the shop that assembled it for me.

I am in Bkk. Need a repair guy here for onsite visit. Yep, it's not a driver issue.

As far as I know there are no commercial flights currently between Thailand and India directly. The only way to get from one to the other is via Dubai or such. Stand to be corrected.

Therein lies the problem. No usb001 virtual port shows up in the dropdown I get.

I would happily pay except it didn't work:-( I really need a guru to drop by. Any recommendations?

ASUS TUF GAMING MOTHERBOARD B-560M_PLUS Canon MF3010

That's what's supposed to happen. And did with my old machine. But apparently a known problem with some versions of Windows 10, is the USB port doesn't appear in the dropdown for Choose a Printer Port (as you proceed along the Add a Printer steps). Then it gets screwy. There are workarounds it seems but I wasn't able to solve the problem.

I just got my new PC made to order. However, having trouble connecting the printer. Went through the Add Printer steps but at Choose Printer Port didn't find a USB option. Fiddled around and managed to disable the port:-( Being totally inept at systems stuff I prefer to have an expert come over instead of me causing further damage. Happy to pay a good rate. I am near the Victory Monument BTS.

That's for the kid's street value in begging and prostitution. No Isaan woman swells with pride at the sight of her half-farang child she hasn't the means to feed.

I wouldn't pay much attention to these polls. Questions are posed for shock value. E.g., "Would you prefer to live in a country with like-minded states and like-minded federal government all getting along, rather than a warring house?". A yes expresses current emotion but push comes to shove? No. It's a divided house, true, but dividing the country? Ain't going to happen.
