Requirements to enter Chaengwattana
Dirk Z replied to brewsterbudgen's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I was there 5 days ago. Had to show my vaccinated evidence but inspection was not very thorough. -
Not True. There are now some reservation about Astra. I would go for Pfizer.

I also never understood. But lately I have seen Thais drinking. Genetically they don't tolerate alcohol well and women even less. They like to sit close in groups and get very loud. I do believe this helps spreading a virus. It is not like having a beer or a glass of wine with a meal. Unfortunately the latter group suffers from the behavior of the first.

Thailand increases number of 'low risk' countries from 46 to 63
Dirk Z replied to Jonathan Fairfield's topic in Thailand News
There are some high risk countries on this list like Romania. But since everyone entering needs to be vaccinated, have a negative test and a short quarantine, it did not really send to matter where they come from as they impose no threat. The threat is from everything that starts moving connected with tourism like cleaners, tuk tuk drivers etc. I wonder how many of them are vaccinated. -
How can i get a thai driving license ?
Dirk Z replied to bluebanana's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I would go to the appropriate Land Office and ask for the requirements. When I did this I also found out that they only work by appointment and the next one was in six weeks. The medical certificate has a validity of 4 weeks, so this helps for planning. You also have the latest version of requirements, things have a tendency of changing here sometimes. -
90 day online reporting time frame
Dirk Z replied to Kenny202's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I did on-line three times successfully but the last two times by mail. Now each time I have the paper version ready, try on-line and if that doesn't work just mail the paperwork. Both times reply after six weeks. -
There is an even spread among the different brands. This is what you can expect, because there is no "best" beer under the pilseners.There have been blind tests with beer lovers in which they were not able to determine their favourite beer nor their most disliked beer. The choices were no better than what you can expect by chance. So you just believe what you drink. I love craft beers and IPA, but just one.

Isn't that Bang cock? -
Poll -- do you take a daily dose of low dose aspirin?
Dirk Z replied to Jingthing's topic in Health and Medicine
A colleague of mine took it for no other reason than to be on the safe side and had a cerebral hemorrhage. Don't take it unless prescribed says me (MD). -
Just got my second Jab today and the Mor Prom App doesn't work
Dirk Z replied to Jaws1973's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Yes, that one. It looks exactly the same as in the app. -

I just scanned the QR code on the certificate i got from the hospital. This produces an approval which is the same as from the app. Make a screen shot and crop it a bit. -
What is it with loud exhausts ? (and tail tidy's)
Dirk Z replied to piston broke's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
Yes, and in UK too, but other countries also have the name and in my case it is derived from Dirk, a hundreds year old name that also has been in the family for some generations. Polite people (with sufficient IQ) tend to call me Richard sometimes.... -
What is it with loud exhausts ? (and tail tidy's)
Dirk Z replied to piston broke's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
It is the name my parents chose for me and that has been mine for decades. In spite of the unfortunate synonym it is a perfectly normal first name in the country where I am from and in many others. It should be clear (but here the IQ comes in again) that it is an original first name and not a fantasy nickname. So not chosen but given. It is beyond me to choose a fantasy name just because of disrepectful morons. -

And mocking someone's name in a pathetic attempt to be funny is inversely related to IQ. -

There is an inverse relationship between the dB's of noise and the size of an essential part of the (male) driver's anatomy. -
But I'm not sure if a tourist on a tourist visa can get a residence certificate. I got mine only after the personal 90-days reporting.

Life in Thailand getting back to normal – but only if you are vaccinated
Dirk Z replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Being pro-vaccination is not a belief but based on a plethora of facts and evidence. If non-vaxers would be 1-2% nobody would spill a word, but the numbers like 20-30% are a serious threat in terms of them needing hospital beds. As they die away the threat becomes less, but until then they cause costs and are a considerable burden. You cannot really compare this with other diseases like from smoking etc, because the numbers - although still too many - are manageable, unlike a Covid outbreak. But over time according to Darwinian principles the problem will solve itself.
