  1. No, absolutely not. Hungarian probably wouldn't sound similar like Russian even to you.
  2. The very limited possible health benefits of quitting coffee have been explained by Sheryl. But is OP drinking pure black coffee? If not, the health benefits of quitting sugar and artificial "creamers" are more real. Whereas coffee has health benefits, this junk has no benefits at all.
  3. It isn't even remotely close in quality to bad coffee.
  4. Some people are not so happy if hospitals remember too much too long. I can lead to insurance problems. But yes, I was p issed off when BNH didn't remember my HN from 2542 recently.
  5. Actually, 2-6 months. (If 6 months, I wouldn't have been able to get it.) For heavens sake! I didn't know that there are places in the world more bureaucratic than my home country. Yes. So you can't bring it easily to Thailand in your luggage. Not impossible, though, but I wouldn't recommend it to a layperson.
  6. I suspect his expression "with multiple reentries" doesn't mean "with a multiple re-entry permit" but " with multiple trips into and out of Thailand"?
  7. Laos generally a bit better than Thailand - and much better than CM -, South better than North.
  8. The resistant ones have been overgrown by the more common not-resistant ones. Not unusual.
  9. Yes, but they have a generic version (Thailand is deemed too wealthy to be allowed to produce it's own molnupiravir). Very cheap, not very useful. They mostly still use Favipiravir, cheap and pretty useless. Paxlovid is not available in Thailand.
  10. It is not somebody I don't know. It is a friend who came with Emirates. Medical questions on flights are his job, so he had a certain professional interest in this flyer.
  11. I don't like her "r"s. It just sounds too stilted.
  12. Where? In Bangkok, March is better. In CM, it's not better. CM worse. CR bad, too.
  13. No, it's not flu season. Flu season in Thailand is the rainy season. (Thailand is not the only tropical country where this is the case) The reason is not well understood. I might speculate that during the rainy season Thais are more indoors. Flu vaccinations are given before the rainy season, in May, after the school holidays. Just 2 posts before your post somebody wrote: Yes, sad and tiring.
  14. Google it, then you will know what is a flight surgeon
  15. My thought, too. Infected at the airport.
  16. I was told Emirates distributes flyers stressing how clean their air is. A mask is not necessary. I haven't seen the flyer myself, but the guy who flew Emirates told me the flyer encouraged people not to wear a mask. He is not a native speaker of English, though. Maybe some nuances got "lost in translation".
  17. I had visitors from Europe the last couple of weeks, coming on 5 different flights. The visitors on three of these five flights developed covid-19 2 or 3 days after arrival. They were all between 50 and 65. Three guys on the same flight of Thai Airways got all infected. They had their fourth vaccine just one month before the flight, the symptoms were only a common cold. Lasted a couple of days. Another guy on a different flight was sick (more or less bed ridden) here for one week. Still another guy on another non-stop flight was sick for almost 3 weeks, he also infected his Thai girlfriend who also was sick for about 3 weeks. I discussed this with a friend who is a flight surgeon: "this was to be expected". BTW TG encourages passengers to wear a mask. Emirates, I was told, encourages passengers not to wear a mask because the air in their planes is clean.
  18. How to use the counting-machine: Of course, it has to be in view of the customer. There are 2 kinds of machines: most will count the right or left sides of the notes (first picture). After counting, the pile of money has to be turned around and the other side has to be counted, too. It does happen that there is a folded note in the pile. The other type of machine (second picture) counts the long sides of the notes. A lot more reliable. I still make them turn the pile upside down and count again.
  19. I know at least one consulate that in the last couple of years would not issue a non-Imm O visa if the applicant was not actually retired. They required that he had had employment in the past, that he had retired from this employment and that he got a state pension. Rich rentiers need not apply. AFAIK they changed their mind last year.
  20. I was confused, too. In April there was a hype in the media, the Thai goverment would buy Paxlovid. And after this, quiet. No reports of anybody who actually got it. AFAIK it really never was available in Thailand. Definitely not for the general public.
  21. 22nd The exact time will be determined after the World Cup, probably 3 or 4 pm
  22. That's a lie and you know it. Just two days ago, in another thread, somebody took the efort to detailed explain it. https://aseannow.com/profile/26070-partington/content/?type=forums_topic_post&change_section=1 I am not wasting my time on you.
  23. In another thread right now somebody says Samut Prakan.
  24. It's not even approved in Thailand. The only East-Asian countries where it's approved are China and Singapore (HK I don't know). Whether it's actually available there I don't know.
  25. Sky Zoster is a live-attenuated vaccine, like Zostavax. "A phase III trial demonstrated that NBP608 was safe and immunogenic and noninferior to ZOSTAVAX " https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/224/Supplement_4/S429/6378089?login=false I guess this answers your question.
