  1. What is the legal situation if positive and you refuse to go to an over priced hospitel? Can you legally refuse to be carted off if you want to quarantine at home? Surely they cannot force you to pay these ridiculous prices if you refuse to do so.
  2. That's the one as recommended by your good self to me several years ago, 11.5 k but I expect that has gone up a fair bit
  3. Bangkok Hospital Bkk, they do anesthesia as well, better than gagging all the through it. Forget the Dr name but a women, very good
  4. As far as the hotel goes book one which has a refund promise if things change, a lot do even if they deduct a bit for admin fees. Some things have nothing to do with covid effect, in 2019 I waited 2.5 hours for bags after landing at Bangkok. Travel has become more of a pain since 9/11 covid is just another thing we have to put up with.
  5. Not in real terms, most don't need 16 meg of ram and 500 gig SSD. Better get the basic model and external storage SSD
  6. Not 42k mine was 29k with an educational discount, just ask a student. Shop price is 32.400 for the basic model
  7. Na just got a Macbook air M1, blows anything else away, unless you are 12 years old and want to play shoot the baddie games. Previous ones 30k+ Acer lasted 3 years and HP laptop which lasted 2.5 years. Sound on the Macbook air is the only real stereo on a laptop I have ever heard
  8. Serve agent customers- queue jumpers in other words forking out 6k to an agent to do just that!
  9. Even though such an extension was obtained with lies and cash payment! Maybe nothing to fear just at the moment, but for how long when some decent force decides to clean the cesspit of corruption up? Amusing how many are against corruption, until they can benefit from it personally.
  10. If issued from a province you do not live in the stamp is totally illegal and worthless as it was obtained with false declarations re residence
  11. At one time people breaking the law argued it was OK to give an agent their passport to do constant border runs, until it was not. Now they insists bribing officials for extensions from places they do not live in, and might have never even been to is acceptable, well maybe that is coming to and end, along with their illegally issued extensions. I do hope so. All these people do is make it harder for the rest of us as happened when we had to keep funds in the bank longer in an attempt to restrict the cheats
  12. Yes written they can ignore money in the bank, but only doing so if they are paid is corruption and ILLEGAL. Also it's written in the rules the extension HAS to be obtained in the province you are living in. So. if an agent gets you one from another province that is misrepresentation, fraud and also illegal. Why try to sugar coat corruption?
  13. No chang Classic, got bottles from last 2 weeks all 5% these new ones 4.8, never bought the other ones
  14. Used to be over 6%. noticed the other week cans were 4.8 now latest bottles from 5% to the new 4.8%. Chang Classic, not as tasty either. Will not be buying any more, only as a last resort anyway, did they announce this latest drop? doubt it, why do they do this?
  15. Unlike the dogs who, bark all day and night, <deleted> all over the place, sit outside 7/11, stink out houses and cause a traffic risk, not to mention attacking people and killing kids as well as a rabies pool!
  16. I always leave the country, let the imbeciles have their water fights ????
  17. No such beast as a cute dog, they are all pests in one way or another.
  18. Most successful Asian girl group ever. their MV's racked up over a billion views, one has almost 2 billion. Lisa got 100 million views on her single in 24 hours, a record. I'd say that's pretty famous
  19. Ever heard of rachinee luktung? Pumpuang is still known as the Queen of luktung, and a real Princess wrote a song for her. So I doubt Princess Lisa will be getting any problems. Low brow country fairs sounds a bit snobish, much to be prefered over hi brow Ekami clubs etc, and many singers earn a good living. They should be proud of Lisa, worked hard made her dream come true and has a few million dollars in the bank- for meatballs!
  20. Why not cut out the middle man and just offer the IO the cash up front? It's all legal and above board after all????
  21. Surely you have to put the address on the TM30 in the province where you are moving from, which you never lived in, then have to do the TM30 every year. The agent must enter a fictional address on the extension form. is it the same one for all the customers? Seems like one lie after another
  22. But there is no loophole around not getting the extension from the province you live in. All the ones I contacted can only get them from upcountry, I don't see how that can be legal. Then you are stuck doing the 90 day reports and re entry permits with the agent and paying over the odds there. OK if you are hard up, but foolish and risky if you have the funds anyway.
  23. Ubon had a vibrant nightlife left over from the Vietnam war and the US serviceman, there were some bars which lasted until a few years ago. See Saw was one I just got to see before it closed, great cafe. Wrong way bar is not bad good music selection.
