Hopefully no Thai schools will stage a Z themed fancy dress parade.

Correct, they are fascist, which is just at bad.

It is not open at this time.

No crossing to Myanmar is open.

Do you know what crossings are open to the east or elsewhere? I'm based in Chiang Mai.

Before covid closure I used to do my visa runs there.

Check the ones here that is shown on the Thailand Pass site. https://tqm-app.com/static/thailandpass/index.html

Thanks for that, was able to find a policy for a little over 1000 THB which is a huge difference

So far the best price I've found is the Luma Asean Pass. About 3600 Baht for someone 53, duration 2 months. Last time I bought AXA but now they are charging about 4,500 baht for just 2 months, when it was 3500 for 3 months before.

I'm assuming that USD 20,000 health insurance is the only insurance that is required.

Vaguely remember reading somewhere that if you arrive after a certain time PM you need to stay 2 nights in test and go. Don't know if it's true. 

If I have a 60 day tourist visa, what are the possible combinations (if any) to extend my stay to 120 days by doing one of the following:

1st preference

- 1 border run + 1 30 day extension at immigration office (in which order should these be done?)

2nd preference

- 2x border runs to get 30 days each

Received a QR code with a link to a document which lists the Lanna hospital as the only testing site in Chiang Mai. I'm assuming that's the only option?

Also it says you should get tested on day 5 to 7 after arrival. If I arrived on a Monday then I'm assuming that means I can get tested as early as Friday? (Want to leave ASAP and visit friends living out of the city)

Need to get a faulty SIM card replaced. Google maps now shows true stores only at Lotus Kamtien, Central festival and Central airport.

Where do you get the neem? I haven't noticed it in any of the usual places  I go to. 

Lazada has many choices

I read somewhere that growing Avocados is very unfriendly to the environment.

Better find a 'happier' crop to grow.   LOL

They need a lot of water to cultivate. So it's only environmentally unfriendly to grow them if it creates a shortage of water for other purposes or a lot of energy is used to get water to the trees.

Is pyrethrum available in Thailand? In Australia you can buy it as a concentrate but i haven't seen it here. Willing to consider low hazard alternative if anyone has a suggestion.

Main problems are ants and caterpillars. Ants absolutely murdered jalapino and pepper plants. Caterpillars a problem with the eggplants.

I seem to recall if if you went at midday , then the results would be available by 5 PM that  evening 

Do you know if testing can be done when you walk in?

Obviously with no website there is no way to make an appointment unless they are taking appointments over the phone...

RAM Hospital . 

Can get a PCR test done at 8 AM and the results back by 12 PM the same day .

   Most other hospitals/clinics only get the results back 24 hours later and they all charge 3500 Baht .

   I have asked in numerous places and RAM is the best option .

 

   (P.S Could you mention my name when getting the test done, thanks ???? )

Strange, I have tried searching google as well as browsing Chiang Mai Ram website and I can't find any info about their PCR testing.

Sorry, this post by mistake

Couldn't find any threads about this.

Arriving back to CM Monday morning with an international flight Tuesday evening, so this is cutting it a bit fine.

Any recommendations?

From Google, the Tuberculosis Center seems to have opening hours mon - fri 8.30 to 15.30 so that's it I guess.

I'm looking to get my certificate at the location near Suriwong bookshop. Anyone know if the service is available weekends?

Does anyone know if the vaccine passport centers are open Saturday and or Sunday? Operating hours?

My final STV extension runs out in November so I'll need to get the covid extension. Please link a page/thread showing requirements.

Also, do they require you to show proof of insurance? My insurance runs out in November as well.

I've seen a lot of products on Lazada but it's not clear if they are just fertilisers or actual cloning compounds. I've seen Clonex brand advertised but it seems a little pricey.

I checked out Bakermart and Yok. Neither is of any use for Japanese cuisine. Definitely more available at Rimping but have yet to check out Tops.

Last week I was able to extend my STV in Chiang Mai with over 2 weeks to expiry. So every office is different. It was comparatively quiet which is not surprising.
