Lorry

Buses to Buriram don't pass through Korat, they go via Chokchai

Does this still exist? I used it before covid and I am wondering whether this bus station stil exists and whether they still have buses to Bangkok 24 hours. If yes: buses or vans?

They accepted the culling of people

I think I have heard of it as part of the covid bureaucracy. It doesn't exist anymore

They do this to give you an incentive to learn Thai. ????

This equation doesn't make sense, either. BTW 75/21%=~350

That's correct. That's wrong. 150g/15=10g per pack of 5 (you said there are 15 packs), which is 1 serving. So 3.jpg says exactly the same as 1.jpg I have no idea what your equation is supposed to mean. In this label, "sugar" has a different meaning. Here it's not นำตาล, it's นำตาลทราย. That's the amount of sugar out of a bag put into the dough. 21% of every single cookie are this added sugar. But of course, other ingredients also contain sugar นำตาล (there are no sugarless raisins). That's why the end product contains 10g sugar for every 34g serving, which is roughly 10g/34g=.3=30%

I would call this multiparametric

3 planes doesn't mean multiparametric multiparametric means T2 (= T2WI) FS in 3 planes + DW (=DWI) + DCE-MRI BKH has a 3T MRI. They can be surprisingly cheap, let's say half of BPH, but 11000 really sounds too cheap.

They do have a special relationship with WrLife.

Yes, that was last month. Internationalism reported that they don't have Moderna anymore, they offered him Pfizer. On the phone, they deny having any vaccine (last week). Whether they have vaccine if you just walk in I don't know.

You didn't care to read my post, did you?

Good.

The private hospitals don't have vaccines anymore. As of last week, Bumrungrad, Bangkok Hospital, Samitivej, Medpark, St Louis and Sukhumvit Hospital all deny having vaccines. Kasemrad Prachacheun offers Pfizer only for those who earlier paid for Moderna and still didn't get it. Vejthani denies having vaccines, but you can get free Pfizer once a week if you make it on their list.

That level is unknown, unfortunately. The measurements of antibody levels aren't even standardized. Others have completely different values, eg you may be good to donate plasma if over 850. If you really want to know your immune status you should also measure neutralizing antibodies, more expensive (maybe 3000) and not done everywhere. But you still won't know whether you should get a booster or not.

Friends of mine just came back from the north. It's packed with tourists. People cannot get buses out of Pai. They are now back in Khao Lak, where they live. It's full. Farangs and Indians. Other friends just came to Bangkok and had difficulties to find a hotel on lower Sukhumvit. They had to settle for rooms without windows.

Why did I mostly meet the others?

Things don't work like this. Sheryl says, he is in a government hospital. Goverment hospitals only accept cash. They don't work with international travel insurance. You are not going to change this. Pay cash. You want to transfer the patient to a more capable hospital? To another government hospital? In this case, that's a decision between the 2 hospitals. You can politely ask them, but you don't have the power to change their decision. If you want to transfer the patient to a private hospital like BPH or Bumrungrad: The government hospital he is in now will not provide the documentation a foreign insurance wants. That's normal. Contact the private destination hospital (they will make millions of Baht from this patient); talk to their supervisor. They will handle the government hospital. They will organize the transfer and put it on the bill for the insurance (they will want a guarantee of payment from the insurance before the transfer - of course, you can always pay the transfer cash and claim it later) The insurance probably works with a local assistance company, eg April Assistance. A good assistance company can handle the government hospital (they may have to send staff to the government hospital). Most are not good. If you know the destination hospital, you can PM me, I might be able to help you with contact details.

Of course not. Then Thais might be unhappy with the decision of the goverment to let tourists in again. Quite a few Thais I know say that Thailand felt better the last couple of years without the farang. Obviously these ones don't live from tourism. 8 friends of mine arrived in the first week of this month on 3 different flights. 5 of them developed covid 2-3 days after arrival. I was watching when 3 of those infected took a taxi. All drunk, loud, boisterous. One of them had "a cold", was sneezing and coughing. No masks. The driver was wearing 2 masks, so he obviously took covid seriously. The next day, all three had a positive ATK. My friends had the new BA4/5 vaccines before they came and were only sick for a couple of days. The sickest one of them got Molnupiravir from Bangkok Hospital. The taxi driver cannot get the new vaccines (not available in Thailand), he will not get Molnupiravir and he doesn't have insurance to pay for Bangkok Hospital.

He is dead. Isn't that proof enough for you that he died?

This trick is well known. It just has the effect that every farang in Chonburi is considered a sleazy Pattaya sex tourist. What exactly is uneducated about these looks?

It coincided very well with an incredible surge of tourism, since end of October. Flights from Europe are fully booked. Airports at departure and arrival are packed. Airlines and passengers don't care about masks or disinfectants anymore. Difficult to find free rooms in Pattaya and Bangkok, at this time of the year this is very unusual. Tourists running around, maskless of course, in Bangkok everywhere. Lots of unmasked farang on the BTS. Many young American couples in my neighborhood. Europe and US have a death rate of about 2 per milion dying from covid every day. Europeans and Americans, and their governments, think this is just fine. Hundreds of dead per day is called "living with covid". Thailand has much lower daily death rates, tourism will level this out.

Sure, from the farangs in Pattaya.

I agree

I called Bumrungrad and Dr Donna 2 days ok. Both said they don't have any vaccines. I am talking about the original vaccines. The new, updated vaccines are not available in Thailand, as Sheryl has explained.
