  1. I had 2 Pfizer vaccines followed by a Moderna booster. The recommendation at the time was for a minimum 6 month period between Pfizer and Moderna. I think this still applies.
  2. I have now extended my OA visa at Korat immigration on 3 occasions using the 800,000 baht method. I have only ever presented a 6 month bank statement available from Bangkok Bank on the day along with photocopies of my passbook covering the 12 month period. Having said that my passbook shows every individual transaction. There are no amalgamated entries. My most recent visit was back at the very end of March.
  3. As I sure you are already aware the manure needs to removed regularly to reduce the risk of infections. Bovine mastitis will result in your milk being rejected. Dry manure is valuable, wet manure not so. I currently pay 30 baht for filled 20 kg bags. However, I only pay 800 baht for a dumper truck load of wet slurry. This time of year it will be almost impossible to dry it out.
  4. The shrewd ones have by then had a house built back home, invested in the family business and are set for a change in life-style
  5. Let's hope he's not firing blanks.
  6. Limited sympathy from me, unless he makes good on settling the hospital bill. From September this year all those on OA retirement visas will see their health insurance requirement rise from 400,000 baht to 3 million ostensibly because of defaulters. So those who abide by the rules, valid visa, valid health insurance are penalised while those who ignore the rules are subsidised.
  7. This article has some general information on the process here https://mahanakornpartners.com/ debt-recovery-practices-in-thailand/ As you acknowledge you have two issues to resolve: The current debt and the possibility of a repeat situation.
  8. Operation Save Big Dog finally gets put down. After months and months of defending the indefensible even this bunch of amoral sycophants could stomach the blustering, narcissistic, lying, inept charlatan no more.
  9. It's the word "again" in the headline that's got me.
  10. According to my wife (the fount of all knowledge ????) yabba can now be bought for 20 baht a tablet in our local village. Apparently the dealers have been forced to cut the price to remain competitive with the ready availability of ganga. I dread to think what they use to cut the methamphetamine. It's a downside to the liberalisation of cannabis that I don't imagine was conceived when the relaxation was enacted.
  11. Yes, once set up, you can forget about it*. No worries about failing to make a payment on time. * Useful for an oldie like me as, according to some of the younger posters on here, I am by now in the grips of dementia. ????
  12. I had to set it up as a direct debit with Bangkok Bank and the PEA. If I remember rightly, initially I got a form from the PEA to complete, then present to my bank and then return to the PEA. Longwinded but it worked. ????
  13. I invariably buy 5 x double tickets for each draw. Over the last year I have won on two numbers 4 times and on three numbers just once. Has it changed my life? .............. No!............ I continue to buy tickets for each draw and I remain out of pocket. ????
  14. I wonder how old it is? Anyone importing meat illegally isn't going to be worried about such niceties.
  15. "What happens to it?" The RTP are now rolling the world's biggest spliff. Have fun boys.
  16. Good to see no sweeping generalisations there.
  17. Nothing's changed. Bar girls are still immeasurably more beautiful than their clients.
  18. Tourists beware. Given that the fuzz is slang for the police I find this whole headline deeply disturbing.
  19. I'd probably throw a party rather than a rock. Everyone to their own, I guess.
  20. I tip where and when appropriate. I have never experienced a tip declined nor an indication that it was considered insufficient.
