Until the booster shots come out and be mandatory, then immigration will check if you updated your vaxx with no. 4/5/6/7/8/29/30. All planned for early next year already.

That guy up north will be reminded of his infamous nickname again soon lol

Let me guess, 6 months from now we have extreme drought and water reserves are nearly depleted.

I understand now why they want rich tourists, if you get tested positive, even you got your double vaxx, you end up with 150K + hospital bills.

If you prefer to also risk and actually die, that is the only cheap alternative, even you would still lose 30-50K in that case. They didn't have much choice, they were sent to international hospital that was most near by. Again bear in my mind, they had zero to mild symptoms, if it actually went bad, the bill must have been near a million. Could bankrupt people, specially teachers that not earn that much. I am no longer going to advice people coming to Thailand as long this continues.

In the hospitals obviously, where else.

Update from my side, my friend with wife and kid just got released after lock up with little to no symptoms and presented the bill: 380K baht. Another farang who did it alone paid 150K baht. Both were vaccinated.

For the extension based on a Thai child you usually also need the pictures together, thai mother id card, thai mother house book copy, child house book copy, thai child birth certificate. I believe it requires additional steps or a minimum age of 7 or something to do it without the mother. To be recognized as the father I believe you needed to be married when the child was born, just the birth certificate with name is not enough. Regardless to anything, its cheaper and easier if you can make a deal with the mother directly I guess.

Agree to that but I think it is wise the OP at least thinks about it, just like with even minor car accidents, costs can easily run up to 100-150K and many people arrive here teaching or backpacking with no access to such resources (directly). I'd say that it is really needed to be able to get up to 150K cash in your hands guaranteed, in case of emergencies, minimum, while in Thailand. Having that amount directly available can prevent bigger issues too in case of being extorted or other crazy events, that do happen from time to time. Some are lucky for 2 decades, other get bad luck within their first week, for me it was after 9 years.

That is what happened with my friend wife, kid too and he is even double vaccinated and just came from Phuket a month earlier lol. Regarding to my wife also said that she couldn't get me in the insurance that she did manage to get for herself and my son.

One must be insane to invest 500K in government bonds, that is not a solution for the rich but for the insane. Elite visa would suit way better, after merely 1 year in poor yearly returns you would have paid 5 years of the Elite visa already, 2-3 years for 20 Elite visa years.

USB3 ports on a laptop are usually attached to the motherboard, that means entire motherboard replacement + battery + keyboard + screen issues. Doubt that is worth it VS buying a new laptop. You could still use the old laptop as a computer for with the TV or a monitor too.

Finally an answer why my LM green small 60B cigarettes were out of stock all the time.

Most likely cheaper to get a new laptop instead. You would need model specific type parts for this job, easy to do yourself if ordering online tho.

Only now I realize how much I miss our quality tourists, not making a joke too, life was fun with these figures around.

It doesn't really matter if you are a teacher or not, in any case you get tested positive you are locked up in a hospital. I have a friend who is in it now for more than a week already even he had just few symptoms for 2 days. But yeah if they are gonna test you constantly that is quite risky VS the pay hehe, I would insist the school I teach at covers me on that or get an insurance to cover it. There is some choice in pricing but it is certainly true that this can easily set one back 100-150K baht (and that is in case of mild symptoms).

If they only took those revenues into account, they must be clueless. I still suspect we indirectly fund the agriculture business by half 555

You could still get a debit credit card right, then you deposit like a amount of choice and you can at least use the same functionalities. That is the only thing they ever offered me here.

I think we should not be to fast drawing conclusions, he might still walk free assuming they play fair and won't find anything. If he doesn't walk free I am quite concerned what to do myself if someone breaks in.

Not to mention how it goes in Africa with mining the resources, using children and chemicals that cause new problems while we still have plenty of oil.

I could imagine them staying away from it at a certain age, certainly if you are also a foreigner in Thailand. Quite a high risk if they can't go after property or family easily.

I am starting to become crazy I guess, every day there is some kind of post with what they think to achieve or focus on, they still do not get a single thing right either. It is just hopeless at this point.

Chiang Mai isn't that backwards in terms of that, except the immigration there. They are quite easy going, many people fly up there recently without any issues, they just did the antigen tests on arrival and done 10 mins later.

They could tell him they found some drugs and that he now needs to pay X amount to walk away from it. But doubt they are that bad in Udon.
