One of the required safety measures is that venues must improve their environment and air circulation system and that all staff are fully inoculated against COVID-19.

So how do all the beach bars in Phuket , samui etc improve on air circulation in a bar that basically has no walls and is an open air venue ?

Could never figure out why these places were not allowed to open as you would be more likely to get covid in an enclosed restaurant than one of these bars !

Yet you can have a function with up to 500 people if you tell the local authorities , but just can’t have the demon drink at it !! ????????

Would recommend Asus. Bought a display model from powerbuy at almost half price as it hardly had been touched . You can get decent Asus laptops and notebooks on lazada with pretty good specs from 13-17000bht . Just a case of looking through buyer reviews ,if they have an actual shop or store they sell from etc to find best seller.

I’ve 20kgs hold luggage and 7kgs carry on included in my ticket price. An extra 25kgs is 200 baht if prebooked.

 

Log in, go to manage booking and is straightforward, meals,seating, extra baggage etc.

 

Flying from Phuket to Udon Thani.

I looked yesterday for around 3 weeks time and it says no hold luggage on the dates . Maybe destination’s vary. 

If flying internally with air asia after arriving be prepared for a shock .

My mate wants to come and see his wife and kid up north and looked at flight from Bkk to roi et with air asia after 1 night in Bkk waiting on test . 
There is no hold luggage allowed and only 7kg carry on allowed. So now he is having the hassle of getting his bags sent while he gets a flight .

Liable for the years rent if you leave ! ????????

Turn them off . If you keep turning them off then what is he going to do apart from send the agent round to tell you to put them back on . Upon which you refuse and they can waste each other’s time trying to get you to comply . If the owner says put them on or leave then tell him no problem as long as he returns any deposit and agrees not to charge you for the rest of the year .

Motorola g9 play for about 4000bht is decent phone or if you want similar with great camera the g30 for 5900. These also have great battery life and very easy to use with good display and speed.

Redmi 9t lite or just 9t is also good as is redmi note 10,10s and 10s pro.

After weeks of looking at reviews of many I opted for the redmi 10s 6gb/128 model as it has everything I need , looks good , fast , good display , 64mp camera and battery that lasts 2 days easy . It is almost identical to the pro version except the pro has a 108mp camera and was around 1800-2000bht more . I paid 5800 for mine from lazada .

Most arrivals are from Japan at number one, followed by Singapore, Germany, Qatar, and China respectively.

Really ? 
The flight from Japan that arrived the other day had 43 people and 32 were Thai ! A flight from Singapore had 3 !!

I’m smelling porkies ! ????

Would think booking one night in Bkk and after clear test then fly to samui would be easiest way.

My exciting conversations about quantum physics ! ????

Is there a requirement that restaurants have to serve food in order to comply with the relaxed regulations?  I realise that restaurants will want to sell food also but I haven't seen that emphasised anywhere by the powers that be.

The basis for having alcohol was to be served with your meal as far as I was aware . I have been in bars with restaurant licenses also and only about 15% of customers if that actually ordered food.

Been borrowing the TAT calculator ?

They were 260 billion bht in debt or something ! ????????????

Surprised they didn’t go through every bill checking every customer had actually ordered food ! ????

Everything else was ready, he pointed out, saying that all the locals had been vaxxed and not a single one in the tourism industry had Covid

I’m pretty sure just about every part of that is lies ! ????

In most cases no I wouldn’t , but I have bought watches from dealers that only have Facebook pages. But they have been going for several years and post photos with customers that they sell too most of the time . I could have met them to purchase the watches but it would have involved travelling half the country , so was easier to pay them and them send the watches out.

Now, here's my quandary - You have to take a Covid test and show you're negative to board a plane. What use is another test after getting off the plane other than to generate revenue for the people performing the test? Did I suddenly get Covid from any of the OTHER passengers who ALSO tested negative?

When I returned here in February Thais were not required to have a PCR test to enter the country and airlines that were flying here were not asking for proof of one from Thais as far as I remember.
That’s why I couldn’t get my head round why put a bunch of negative tested people on a plane with a bunch of untested ones . Plus several clear tested non Thais arrived in their quarantine in Bkk and few days later tested positive.
