  1. buses in airport transport don't have anything to do with covid restrictions. There is some other reason. Happen to me many times on arrival as well as on departure. fly more, swear less
  2. emirates are very reliable. It's the biggest airline. Even if somehow they cant take you glasgow, they will take you London and get connecting flight
  3. fwd 30 days from 650b. Must be activated 14 days before starting date or need to do pcr before entry. They do 1 year from 4200b multientry. From 1st May might be lowered to some $10k or even entirely abandoned. But I would count on it yet. I think it's good to have covid insurance for a year. You can get covid every few months and never know when need to be hospitalised
  4. he did not expose details of his sex life, but denounced sexual abuse he witnessed in prison when serving some 4 years for lese majeste charges (selling dvd copies of an australian television documentary). That was just one sentence he wrote. He has another lese majeste charge hanging over for threatening queen - he was spotted in a crowd of protesters through which queen decided to drive unannounced and unguarded (that incident was used by Prayuth to introduce special emergency law in all bangkok, which lasted for a week, this law only escalated scale of street protests)
  5. the first bite is wet, the next once can be dry. That snake was identified as cobra, deadly
  6. if a large international summit is planned only one month in advance that well can happen: "Last month, the White House issued a statement saying that the special summit will take place in Washington DC at the end of March. ASEAN members, however, could not attend due to scheduling conflicts. “It is a normal occurrence. In the past, we have faced the same problem and we have to find a new common timeframe,” Don told the Thai News Agency on Tuesday, after the cabinet meeting. The dates of March 26th and 27th were proposed last week but, after a few exchanges, both sides realised that their leaders’ timetables did not match." https://www.thaipbsworld.com/special-asean-us-summit-postponed-until-may/ so fingers crossed that one will also be postponed
  7. possible her "bood" is the same category. But also can have a meaning in rapper's slang. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapsus "In philology, a lapsus (Latin for "lapse, slip, error") is an involuntary mistake made while writing or speaking. ... Types of lapsus[edit] In literature, a number of different types of lapsus are named depending on the mode of correspondence:[8] lapsus linguae (pl. same): slip of the tongue lapsus calami: slip of the pen[9] With the variation of lapsus clavis: slip of the typewriter lapsus manus: slip of the hand, similar to lapsus calami lapsus memoriae: slip of memory Types of slips of the tongue[edit] Slips of the tongue can happen on any level: Syntactic - "is" instead of "was". Phrasal slips of tongue - "I'll explain this tornado later".[clarification needed] Lexical/semantic - "moon full" instead of "full moon". Morphological level - "workings paper".[clarification needed] Phonological (sound slips) - "flow snurries" instead of "snow flurries". Additionally, each of these five levels of error may take various forms: Anticipations: Where an early output item is corrupted by an element belonging to a later one,[10] thus "reading list" - "leading list" Perseverations or post-sonances: Where a later output item is corrupted by an element belonging to an earlier one[11] Thus "waking rabbits" - "waking wabbits". Deletions: Where an output element is somehow totally lost, thus "same state" - "same sate" Shift or Spoonerism: Moving a letter, thus "black foxes" - "back floxes" Haplologies[12] or fusion: Half one word and half the other, thus "stummy" instead of "stomach or tummy"[13] Pun[14] "
  8. the prime minister said several times "software" instead of "soft power", before being corrected by journalists. His previous language lapsus was mispronouncing names of different vaccines (even if he read text from the script). At the same time he was responsible for contracting them from producers. and not a year ago the government sued her (and the other 20 musicians) for defaming government, when they criticised failed vax program. Change of events. "Teen Rapper Milli Fined In Social Media Crackdown On Celebrities Who Criticise Govt" https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/40003616
  9. as every day there is a contradictory statement, simply buy air fare sometimes a week before the most convenient time for you to come (to allow for thailand pass approval). get all documents ready (2 vax, AQ hotel booking, insurance, and including recovery certificate if you can organise one). For those who need to come shortly, there is no point delaying journey. It might be a long wait, beyond 1st of July.
  10. what if Lao customs officers sneezed and spit when opening container for border check up on entry or even on exit to china? that would be more likely to detecte and not some several days old residues from Chantaburi fruit pickers. That distance 1300km takes at least 2 days for a fully loaded some 20 tons container at temperatures some 60C inside container. Add to it waiting at 2 borders - usually many hours. There might be even obligatory change of driver on the border due to covid regulations. Covid thrives in low temperatures, like chilled or frozen meat. There were many cases of out brakes in meat processing companies and even in beef imported from south america to australia and to china
  11. not only that wall, but also a roof of a newly build bus terminal. "At Bangkok’s Don Muaeng airport, the roof of a new bus terminal was blown off and a wall collapsed during heavy rain yesterday. There were no injuries reported as the newly-completed bus terminal was yet to open."
  12. google translation from today's meeting of department of disease control. To be discussed at the end of week. "They will discuss whether to suggest adjusting to testing with ATK or not testing for infection at all. The details of the action plan will be discussed at the OCC meeting for further decision-making, while adjusting the color areas will be proposed. However, the number of infections in the country is higher than those who enter the country. Therefore, the relaxation of immigration will not result in increasing the number of infections in the country." https://www.naewna.com/local/648378
  13. disease control department is meeting on Thursday to propose as radical as getting rid of any testing on entry from 1st of May. I don't think it would happen yet, but at least they are considering. Very much depends on Prayuth's personal opinion and he tends on conservative approach. googletranslate "They will discuss whether to suggest adjusting to testing with ATK or not testing for infection at all. ... However, the number of infections in the country is higher than those who enter the country. Therefore, the relaxation of immigration will not result in increasing the number of infections in the country." https://www.naewna.com/local/648378
  14. it's him approaching them with over 1mln bribery (that's what some journalists have discovered and asked him at press conference). He has a history of sexual abuse, at least from age 24, when in London some 20 years ago, raping and imprisoning 2 ladies. Likely more would come, the last week was holiday season.
  15. there is no ideology in this party and it's now about support for Prawit at the election. So those in Prayuth clique are sidelined and forced out. Too late for Prayuth to get any large party behind him. The only hope for him is senate. But PPRP is also disintegrating, did poorly in some by-elections. Hence they are already trying behind the scene to form coalition with phuathai
  16. "Mr. Chuchai had suffered three broken ribs, broken teeth, a swollen face, chest pain, and numbness in his right leg due to a herniated disc." Why he was lying on the floor, not answered phone calls and why nobody else see any elephants while he was shouting is mysterious
  17. try to get to menager. Offer to pay some few hundred baht for information. If supplier doesn't deal with individuals, offer to buy off restaurant itself. Also check google maps for "co2 gas" and "dry ice". You can translate thai entries to see, who they are. see https://thaidryice.com/en/co2/ in bangkok - they have 50kg. I think an industrial size 20-30 litres would last you for about a year. Empty tank itself might cost some 5-10k. For filling 380g bottle they charge minimum 300b and 1 litre for 900b. So not cheap. lazada has also options - that is for fish tanks https://www.lazada.co.th/products/seasun-sdqiping-co2-cylinder-2l-4l-2-4-co2-cylinder-2-liters-4-liters-carbondioxide-gas-g-58-g58-i1695326028-s4786790154.html? https://www.lazada.co.th/products/jrm-4l-co2-co2-cga320-i2858644581-s10427585951.html
  18. unless he is a bank menager (which is not mentioned), how can he help opening bank accounts to many people? writing on the back of his suit points to being a guard
  19. that's bad sign for thailand pass and covid testing on entry. There are over 2 months to make decisions, he should not say yet. They should follow more on international policies to covid
  20. yes. good enough for 1 year visa, but for 30 days not as good (still might be the cheapest possible)
  21. yes, it's good for any entry. it has 14 days gestation period, so needs to be activated 14 days before entry. Otherwise insurer would demand pre-departure PCR (which is not to thailand anymore). You can take it for only 30 days fro 650b (but you will be covered for the remaining 16 days - good enough, if you activate beforehand). If you plan to travel often it's wise to have for 1 year from 4200b. Still, hospitalised covid can happen within the next year, good to have some back up
  22. check agoda. chose somewhere close to place you will be visiting. You can easily get around 500b. I tend to stay jomtien
  23. yes, recovery certificate is only important on entering thailand, which still checks pcr on entry. With certificate is not scary anymore. There is also a remote possibility, that in the future certificate will replace pcr/atk on entry - for those, who have them. That was and is a case on entry to some other countries. Yet before vaxes times, Iceland was allowing entry just with certificate issued within a year
  24. yes, for 90 days after recovery you are cleared even with a positive pcr.
