  1. If its an emergency you could get a taxi or van taxi. Also I think busses allow unvaccinated passengers. Good luck.
  2. Its the requirements to travel by train or plane. Maybe you can get a fake document or just be smart and get vaccinated.
  3. No, the only country that gives the custom officer 40% of the taxes collected. Quite a moneymaker for these bandits.
  4. The Nations Health Minister, Anutin himself, literally has blood on his hands. He will be judged in history as the "Total Idiot Health Minister".
  5. Oh please. They can pull over for wearing an expensive watch you may have bought 10 years ago. Unless you're carrying a reciept you could be liable for duty tax. "There is a high risk of corruption in Thailand’s customs administration. Burdensome import procedures and corruption at the border are obstacles to doing business in Thailand (GETR 2016). Irregular payments are commonly exchanged, both in import and export (GETR 2016)." https://www.ganintegrity.com/portal/country-profiles/thailand/ we disagree. You may think Thai customs is the cats "meow". I think they need an overhaul from the ground up. Enjoy your weekend Lou.
  6. Not true. And Thailand is the only country to give there customs employees 40% of whatever they sieze or tax. Quite the incentive to keep Thailand and its customs employees to keep up this ridiculous farce. You'd change your mind if it happens to you I'm sure.
  7. Hotel rates are dropping again. A keen indicator of tourists numbers.
  8. Why the hell would you be traveling around unvaccinated? Of course you need proof to travel by train or plane. Ugh!
  9. Friend in Hua Hin is on resperator. Two jabs of Sinovac. Next wave may be perilous with all the people vaccinated with either Chinese Vaccine. Hope Anutin gets what's coming to him!
  10. Its to late I think. If you're planning a domestic holiday best to do it now before another lockdown. .....And definitely get vaccinated.
  11. It's as if this is going to last a lot longer than expected. People who were vaccinated over 6 months ago, roughly 60% should be getting there booster shots or avoid crowds altogether.
  12. Definitely better than it was a few months ago. I've got the Pfeizer because of the US donation. Wife and Grandma are scheduled December 18th for the second Moderna. Friend in Bangkok has his postponed due to the GPO not delivering enough doses according to the hospital SMS. Good luck to you!
  13. Or just don't want to be showed up by what the Private Hospitals do best. Order medicines and vaccines. Anutin has to be one of the most hated men in Thailand. Completely inept.
  14. Thats impressive. That must have cost a bundle! Don't they ever inquire who's cutting there wires? Good for you. You gotta have good internet these days!
  15. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the article and the headline. No coralation.
  16. The quote your getting is the base or lowest priced model. You could call a few other dealers including ones in Bangkok. I doubt you'll find much variation in prices. Good luck.
  17. Nice scooters. Reasonable price. Nice owner, I think Swedish. https://www.tontonsamuirental.com/
  18. Have you tried Paypal? I've found that works with the most stubborn sites.
  19. "Thailand not invited to US democracy summit" That's a shame.
  20. Thats insane. I remember getting a Cambodia Evisa within hours. I feel for you. It seems at every corner Thailand steps on its own feet at allowing vaccinated tourist into the country.
  21. No country pulls you aside and taxes the watch,purse,or phone your wearing or have on your body. If you think thats normal procedure then your as crazy as Thai customs police. Unless you're unawares, Thai police, immigration, and customs aren't the most upstanding of people.
