My sister recently got covid a week after vaccination. That's just too early for the vaccination to have any effect. Bad luck.

For me, personally, the difference is huge. 20 years ago, I spent time with a Thai bureaucrat exactly 10 minutes per year. Including preparation and travel times, 30 - 45 minutes (measured, not guessed). Now, it's a regular occurrence and I spend about 10% of my time with Thai bureaucracy (estimated - a friend estimates 10-15%). Mostly immigration, but there are others, too. Travel to CW is a day trip, every ~75 days (not 90 - and please don't tell me about the 90days-online-fairy). Preparation, including reading up on their latest whims, and producing tons of photocopies, takes ages. I do not enjoy this. Now, with taxation, I can imagine this to increase to 20%. It's a worst case scenario, but if it really gets so bad I will consider my options.

Only for hours, maybe even less. Not official-looking. Anyone can guess thre purpose? Fishing??? (there is an upscale mall next to this place, where they could sell their catch)

Too late - OP has never been heard of again. He was so scared of this toxic snake, he jumped straight into Khlong Bangchin and drowned.

It won't be easier, because TRD won't understand my foreign tax return. Let's start with the subtleties of the difference between Swaziland and Switzerland, or Austria and Australia... (Of course, in my home country they don't know the difference between Thailand and Taiwan - they are not any smarter)

For the poster who sent the laughing emoji: I really, really would want to see how you would react if you get covid, can't breathe anymore, all your Ivermectin didn't help, and the ER staff just laughs at you and doesn't care. We don't do this, we still treat you - but you guys really make me vomit. Once you get it, you typically want all the treatment society (not you) can pay for.

BP has an article today stating that vulnerable groups (over 60 or with preexisting conditions like diabetes, HT, obesity - so the typical AN member) should continue vaccinations. Thailand has more covid than any other country in South East Asia. This year, so far 700,000 infections, 48,000 hospitalized, 205 deaths. That's much better than it used to be, but compare it to influenza: 490,000 infections, 36 deaths. (That's influenza, not some banal upper respiratory infection whith an adenovirus. If you have ever known someone with influenza, you know it's a real disease. Covid is worse, it's not gone away and it wont go away). I will get my next shot soon.

Prachachuen 28, opposite DBU reliably flooded every time it rains Prachachuen itself is not flooded, starts a few meters inside the soi

Is it possible to block someone in a way his posts are not displayed to me anymore? (Too much clutter posted by some people)

Air tickets, revisited: Buying a ticket out of Thailand to the US and paying with my foreign CC may or may not be a remittance, this has been discussed extensively, at least 3 times. So please don't start this discussion again. What if someone else, living abroad, pays with their foreign CC? I wouldn't even have to reimburse them, they owe me money. IIRC, this also has been discussed a long time ago, and the answer was, - in the UK, HMRS would consider this a remittance - in Thailand, probably too - this would effectively mean all tickets out of Thailand are taxed, and someone recommended to fly to a neighboring country first, and buying the long-haul ticket there Do I remember correctly?

I know this beautiful wall all too well, its a real eyesore. Unfortunately, our area at Prachachuen is flooded anyway, every time it rains. We don't need water from Khlong Prapa to achieve this, we can do it ourselves. It's not that much (less than 50 cm), though, and it's usually dry again within 24 hours

The recommendation would be Tadalafil (eg Cialis) 5mg daily. Not Viagra, it is excreted too fast. Cialis 5mg for this purpose is covered by many insurances.

Generic viagra from GPO (called Sidegra) in Bangkok, 20 tablets of 100mg each, 1000B. Generic cialis from India (called Apcalis) in Bangkok, 4 tablets of 20mg each, 400 B. Half of these prices in Western Europe (if self-pay). A fraction of these prices in India, eg apollopharmacy.in

Thailand's Cashless Leap: Ahead of the Asean Pack by 2028
Lorry replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Technically, you are right (not sure about " no country"). Practically, I am right. You cannot go to a country you are not familiar with and expect to pay using the internet. We just had this problem on a business trip, just a couple of days. It was a PITA. As usual on AN, this has degenerated into "I am right! Me, me, me!". Very useful.
