Stupid lady. Its private property. Thats the entrance fee. 100 Meters down the road you can have a nice view from the shoulder of the road for free. In any case its worth getting bashed about for 50 baht. You need to pick your fights not the other way around.

Good question. 7%-8% is ridiculously high interest rate for a secured personal loan from a private bank.

Probably the smaller ones. We usually stay at the Marriotts,Hiltons, Avani/Anantara's as there proper resorts. There just better maintained,service orientated, and an overall better experience in my opinion. Theres certainly nice Thai run hotels though. We just haven't had the luck of staying in one.

Hotel.com,Booking.com,etc.are really handy. I prefer booking directly most of the time for rewards and changes are easily taken care of when you're dealing directly with the hotel. Your also more likely to get upgrades in my experience. That said, I just booked Centre Point Korat on Hotels.com because it was 180 baht cheaper than their promotion on there website. Great hotel if you're in Korat or passing through. Happy New Year!

You won't have a choice. Theres not enough vaccines once again. You most likely wouldn't be lucky enough in any case to get an mRNA vaccine unless you've previously paid for one.

Cancel and book directly with the hotel. Easier to deal with any changes anyways. Who wants the hassle of the government delaying something so important.

He's usually wrong. Probably better to just keep his mouth shut.

I've got a load of Hilton points to use. We'll play it safe and order room service. It's only a 20 minutes drive to the hospital from the Millennium. Its also a nice break for my wife and I. Stay safe!

Going to Bangkok next week for a booster. I think it's going to get worse if whats happening in the rest of the world is a gauge. Hopefully the Hilton's prices may drop.

Insightful post. Perhaps a harbinger of things to come.

Honestly don't think many people were actually going. The two times I've been dragged down there lately it was pretty slow. Pretty drastic to close an entire street.

Thats good news. Earlier reports weren't so promising. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3162208/omicron-good-signs-sinopharm-and-sinovac-shots-fend-severe

55 million of those vaccines were of the Chinese variety. Hardly worth counting.

So right on! He's started that blame game in a speech this evening from his subsidized military mansion.

That was nice of her.

...and get duped into staying at a hospital incurring ridiculously high priced substandard hospital care.

No.

Your going to need to phone private hospitals and ask for the international department. You may have to travel a bit. Im finally getting a booster of Moderna next week. I have to travel from Issan to Bangkok, a 10 hour's. Try Khon Kaen,Bangkok,or Pattaya. They seem to have vaccines available to anyone occasionally. You'll need to Google private hospitals Thailand. As usual Thailand has dropped the ball, with Anutin the lead Ball dropper. Good luck

Another Thailand vacation "nightmares" story evolving.

Interesting. We visited early evenings on our recent visit. I can't understand what all the hoopla is about the place. I guess that's the place to be "Seen".

Especially with lousy customers like North Korea and Thailand.

I wonder how many booster shots are actually available? Bangkok and Chonburi seen to be the only somewhat reliable places to get boosters, occasionally. Nothing much about boosters here in Sakon Nakhon. Big news yesterday about 200 booster shots available at Vibhavadi. Thats pretty bad. This is all a more baloney to cover there once again poor management of vaccines. Getting booster's outside to the general public is once again a complete mess.

That should cover 15 minutes. Probably be over by the time you find a parking space. 200? Anutin bragging about how everyone can get vaccinated, 3 or 4 vaccines if they want. Everyone knows he's full of Sh**.

These are insurance insisted on by the government in many cases. Complete scams.

Its in the large print. She should have tried the, "I'm a Tic Tock user" angle.
