  1. 2 Questions: Let's say I test +ve on day 1 or day 5, and they want me to quarantine at a hospital and pay out of pocket and then bill my insurance cos that's the scenarios I'v read. 1- What happens If I say F you I'm not paying or I don't have money to pay ? how can they force me to pay first out of pocket and then bill my insurance ? 2- Can I refuse to go to hospital since I'm asymptomatic and insist to quarantine at the Hotel. ? I'm speaking in regards to Phuket Test and Go ONLY, I read some people did that and they isolated at their own cost at a hotel rather than a hospital.

    I live in LA, and I know what you are talking about. today just went to Ventura county fair and was surprised and amazed that I only saw few people wearing a mask outdoors while 2-3 thousand people are back to normal thank God, I think few more month here and people will be back to our good old norms, and I'm hoping Thailand and other places by mid or end of 2022 will also normalize.
  3. I knew you gonna comment when I was posting haha. I can’t wait till Oct 31st to see the updates and how it’s gonna take effect. Most likely will apply as soon as the website is up.
  4. Copied from the News https://asq.in.th/thailand-pass Pending Final Approval The MFA / Ministry of Foreign Affairs has recently announced that the Certificate of Entry (COE) will be replaced with the "Thailand Pass" system starting November 1st, 2021. The "Thailand Pass" online registration system will exist on https://thailandpass.go.th, and should be accessible by November 1st, 2021. Recent News Articles around "Thailand Pass" The new Thailand Pass system will be for everyone except for those who will be traveling as part of group arrivals (by sea), and Alternative Hospital Quarantine (AHQ) stays will. They will have to use the existing COE system until otherwise specified. Required Information for Thailand Pass Passport Information Vaccination Certificate Covid-19 Health Insurance Coverage SHA+/AQ Hotel Booking It appears that prepaid COVID-19 PCR tests may no longer be required (recently mentioned in the Phuket Sandbox reduced requirements). At the moment it is very hard to draw any final conclusions on the ease of the process, and who exactly will be able to enter "quarantine free". The chart released by the MFA did not seem to cover this newly announced entry method.

    I'm guessing you may actually be from a RED state like myself or at least you are one of the lions if you know what I mean. lol I had the same question on mind but was planning to figure it out when I land there. glad to hear it's getting more relaxed with that non sense.
  6. Does it also heavily rain in the south like Samui and Phuket ? Does it get flooded there also or just central and northern Thailand ?
  7. Wrong assumption but nice try. answering your question 10 beaches are listed because it's my topic and I'm only interested in those 10 beaches to compare between, thanks for the alphabetical list but it's unnecessary. much appreciated ????
  8. I was just about to submit my passport few hours ago for a 60 days tourist Visa, but thanks to my procrastination I didn't and now I find myself reading this article lol. music to my ears, thanks buddy.
  9. It's a multiple choice question so you can choose multiple beaches but please explain in few short words why you favor your choices. It's nice to see how and why people rate their fav. beaches and their rating criteria. we can all learn from one another.
  10. Hello my friend. I love when I see your comments, the details and all the useful info you add makes me trust your opinion and experience very easily ????
  11. Not that it’s my business but I got really curious what vendors you pay at home ? Is that a common thing in Thailand or what I understood the massage ladies etc. LOL sorry just curious.
  12. I appreciate you, the conversion will take place in the US and it’s a very high rate. So from my main bank it’ll be sent to MoneyGram converted and the. Sent to hopefully my Thai bank as Bahts. Or else I’ll use your method of course
  13. Tha k you for that, never heard of them I’ll take a look, I compared 6 different services and MoneyGram gave me the highest conversion rate and lowest fees just slower than others, but I’ll definitely look into wise.
  14. Hi Expats, US passport holder will stay in LOS minimum 5 months. 1- I need a bank that has good Bank app for iOS. 2- conveniently across Thailand branches or ATM’s either is fine. 3- No fees on ATM withdrawal or debit card transactions (In Baht of course) I will transfer money from the US to this Thai Bank Account via MoneyGram or PayPal once every two weeks it’ll be transferred as Thai Baht, so I can use it right away whether cash by ATM withdrawal or by using the debit card to pay for stuff. CIMB or Bangkok Bank is more superior and dominant ? Unless there’s a third better option that fits my needs. Thank you guys.
