  1. Seems reasonabl. Better than getting kicked out. It's basically 17,000 baht. That's what they usually charge. Perhaps you can lend him the money? I know it's not spare change.
  2. Great Choice or the new Google watch coming out. I've got the Galaxy watch 4. I'm suprised how fast the 5 came out. I like the Galaxy watches as they integrate well with all my Samsung products.
  3. What a waist of money. Not even the "owners" of these dogs buy dogfood. There left to scrounge around and fend for themselves. They'll be a lot of donated bags of dogfood available for sale on Facebook marketplace and in the ma and pa corner shops trying to make a buck.
  4. Crazy talk indeed. Out of all the coup leaders in Thailand who was your favorite? .... Or are of the ilk, "I haven't met a dictator I didn't like". Anyway you'll have a new one soon as everyone, including the military are getting tired of this one. Anyways some people like the guy. More power to you.
  5. The sooner these bums get kicked out of office the better.
  6. Still a struggle on weekends and Holidays. Traffic bad in the morning coming in and bad with people leaving the beach in the early evening. Still fun if you can spend a few nights. Usually a little cheaper than Hua Hin.
  7. Zostavax isn't recommended? Medical Hub of Asia, you gotta be kidding me! My friend just had it, absolutely miserable for two weeks.
  8. Your right. There calling it LOT #2. 1800 baht for the same old Moderna you can get free everywhere else. I feel totally conned. No refunds or exchanges. Thainess.
  9. "Thainess - a true definition?" Dual pricing.
  10. I use Netflix Thailand and I don't find anything blocked. I'm going to stop using as I've found I can stream everything from KODI free. Just need a descent build.
  11. Udon Thani Bangkok Hospital: Kindly see the vaccination administration date as below: 25-29 October 2022 : 8.00-17.00 hr. 1-4 November 2022 : 8.00-17.00 hr. The flu shot is also available with 790 Thai Baht per dose. For adult, it is required only 1 dose. But for children, it is required 2 doses to complete the course.
  12. Try to be close to a City. Udon Thani is good. It might sound adventurous but it's deadly boring with little choice for western food outside of Cities. I wouldn't do it again. Just visit her family on occasion and buy something anywhere but Issan.
  13. Really painful! I'm suprised it's unavailable in Thailand.
  14. There deposits for when they would eventually get them. They weren't calling them Bivalent at the time but second generation. Hopefully it will be coming sooner than later. I think Thailand is going to rely on it's own locally produced vaccines. I'll need to contact them tomorrow. I'll get back to you with their reply once I find out. At the other spectrum I don't think many people are concerned as they were initially. Personally I believe in being vaccinated along with my entire family.
  15. I've told my wife that I can't wash the dishes or do the laundry. Didn't past muster though on the BS scale.
  16. I'd Dr complain. Regular smoking is horrible enough. So easy to smoke outside, everyone inconsiderate.
  17. Depends on the view? If its a beach view or a view of a rice Paddy. Blocked seaview will drop the value of your land. Blocked view of rice fields not so much. What a quandary.
  18. The assailant looks disturbing. What an odd target.
  19. That's what I thought. Especially with Anutin's ambition to be Prime Minister. Scary thought.
  20. Thailand had a terrible start to the vaccine rollout initially. "The outbreaks has highlighted criticisms of the country's vaccine programme for an over-reliance on AstraZeneca shots produced by royal-owned Siam Bioscience, a slow roll-out and a confusing registration system" https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/thailand-starts-long-awaited-covid-19-vaccination-drive-2021-06-07/ Luckily the US donated 1,000,000 Pfeizer vaccine's to help alleviate the dearth of vaccines available. Perhaps you were in the right place at the right time. I live in the Northeast and had to travel to Bangkok to get Pfeizer and Moderna boosters. Anutin's plan was to aquire vaccines later as he thought they would be cheaper. They weren't and vaccines were difficult to aquire with long waiting lists. "When the coronavirus threatened to spread across Thailand a year ago, Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul shocked the country's doctors by scoffing at warnings and describing the deadly COVID-19 as "a common cold." https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Turbulent-Thailand/Thailand-s-vaccine-failures-anger-Prayuth-s-business-support-base
  21. Udon Thani Bangkok Hospital took deposits about a year ago for Midernas second generation (Bivalent). vaccines. I got 3 for about 1800 each. My wife has a reciept. Reminds me I better call and find out when they are expected. It was such a disasterous rollout for people who had pre ordered vaccines a few years back. The Thai Red Cross ended up taking 40% of the delivery to resell and it seemed the government was determined to make it very difficult unless it was Sinovac or Astra. Hopefully smoother this time around.
  22. My wife made that tonight. Delicious.
  23. Ouch. You have to be careful. Rental agency has a 5,ooo Max payment with thier insurance. Fortunately I have had a problem driving cars or motorcyclees in Thailand for over 20 years. I rarely drive at night and don't drink which helps. I've found Hua Hin the most pleasant place to drive a Scooter in Thailand though.
