Lorry

There is a good place near km 175 of Sukhumvit Rd, OP can PM me for details

Hatari is good because it is one of the very few brands where you can easily get replacement filters. Xiaomi is another one. It is very difficult, to say the least, to get replacement filters for the Japanese brands. In a thread from the time PM 2.5 started, like 5 or 6 years ago, somebody posted his experiences looking for replacement filters for, I think it was Sharp. You don't want to go through the same ordeal.

The Chinese will populate it again

You shouldn't wai back to the cashier in BigC or the waitress in Pizza Company, neither the staff at the door or the information counter of a hotel or hospital. Neither a 10 y.o. child. Older people (meaning over 18) may remember the times when a cashier in a supermarket wasn't required by his employer to wai the customers. Not all Thais were happy when companies started this - it devaluated the wai.

I have the cheapest model from Hatari. No app required. I also have the cheapest model from Xiaomi. No app required.

That's not foolish, that's smart.

For suspected skin cancer it's Dr Anna and no-one else. It's a rare condition in Thailand and Thai skin doctors aren't familiar with it. Sheryl has written this a hundred times. Dr Anna only works at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital. Actually, be happy that she hasn't retired yet.

The lady in Bangkok Bank figures an anti-masker is an irresponsible and unhygienic person who doesn't care if he infects others. I avoid to deal with this kind of person, but her job forces her to speak with you. So obviously, she doesn't take off her mask. She isn't stupid. But what exactly do the American culture wars have to do with the health forum of Thai Visa?

Yesterday I wanted to ask whether you are blind (seriously). But today I guess SSH is right:

? Plenty of songthaews all over town. Even on Sathorn Rd. Very strange comment.

Yes. Eat only stuff that your grandma would recognize as food. Don't buy anything that comes packaged. That rules out 90% of what an American style supermarket sells.

You conveniently forget Pratadbu. I invite you to come and have a couple of glasses of the yellow tap water of Pratadbu.

In Bangkok, yes. But tap water is not safe for human consumption in Pratadbu, for example. Even in the city center of Udon Thani I got diarrhea from the tap water I was stupid enough to drink.

Half a million donated doses of bivalent vaccines are arriving today. Another 500,000 have arrived already, and 500,000 more will be donated by France. This has been reported by English language print media.

The UK has been free of rabies for 20 years. So they handle dog bites differently from countries like Thailand where rabies is endemic.

In the whole world, out of tens of thousands of rabies deaths, there are a handful of survivors. So it's only 99.999% deadly.

As this has been brought up by various posters: Current guidelines (WHO, American CDC, Thai Red Cross) don't care about this. Neither do they care if the dog never leaves the garden. (Reason: rabies is 100% deadly, vaccine is very well tolerated) So these posters are right: You should get post exposure prophylaxis: 4 shots of vaccine plus 1 shot of immunoglobulin if you have never had rabies vaccine. If you were vaccinated before, only 2 shots of vaccine. (There are other vaccination schedules, too)

I second Dr Petcharat, for the same reasons as Sheryl. BTW Bumrungrad is not more expensive than Samitivej

Agents don't do CoR (at least I have never found one to do it for me). That's what she told you, Thai way.

Yes, you can. 30 days before expiry, in Bangkok (and maybe some other places) 45 days.

At lest that's what is written on the package....

Where in Thailand are you? Emla is easily available in bigger pharmacies.

Yes. This is what I did the last 2 times. After I got my report at CW I always canceled my online request (it was still pending).

That's nice to hear, I will definitely try online again.

I did my last 90 days 15 days early. Then I realized that I "lost" 15 days - it had become a 75days report, because the new 90 days started on the day of my report (but if you report late, during the 7 days grace period, the new 90 days start from the day you should have reported, not on the actual day of your report). Result: the next 90 days report is due about 2 weeks before the next visa extension. So it will be 2 trips to CW insteaf of one.. Of course, I am always glad if I have a chance to visit CW.
