You can't buy APC's, tanks, submarines, support a grossly inflated police and army force AND pay people a decent pension.

I thought the only restaurants allowed to be open and serve alcohol were licensed restaurants and ones that are SHA (or SHA+?) approved........plus those that pay regular tea money of course.

Banned on airlines (I think). The valve causes moisture to collect on the valve itself and the moisture is then expelled into the air.

Anyone kind enough and knowledgable enough to explain the difference between SHA and SHA+ hotels? Thanks in advance.

Cheque book back in the drawer then.

People are for ever complaining about being scammed, contracts not being honored, laws and rules not being complied with or being enforced........as one member on this forum said......just get on with it....."it is how we roll in Thailand". If you don't like it get out. This is pure sarcasm by the way............ mixed in with a dig at a certain poster.

Pure genius.

Scares me when you see all these apartments in the likes of BKK all caged in....deaths traps!

Not too sure being married will make things much easier re: ILR for the UK......and if you are granted ILR you might find your wife is not free to travel abroad for any length of time.

My thoughts exactly.....even if you have a plan...in a blind panic, smoke...it can all fall apart. I always have a PEP every place I go and make the kids do the same.

Health insurance policy or anyone returning to Thailand: Expats living and working in Thailand with a valid visa or residential permit are also exempt if they can produce a Social Security card or certified letter from their employer. Otherwise, they are required to provide proof of health insurance coverage in Thailand, according to a detailed Q&A on the reopening process from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Tried that before...wife was furious.

8.6 million soi dogs to choose from.

Just been told our hotel in BKK, booked for first two weeks of Nov, is now SHA+ BUT........ we need to do nothing. No suggestion that we have to be vaccinated or that we will be asked?

Thailand at its best....policy on the hoof, no thoughts lent to the impact of any actions.....the usual total lack of foresight and empathy.

It is only the poor half that are unvaccinated, so no biggy.

Good idea........and getting on a bus you could be looking at a two year jail sentence for gathering in a manner that might spread the virus.

Hua Hin-Suvarnabhumi Airport bus resumes service...........and some people say the Asean forums are dying a death........whatev's.

Really tight pants with a bulge......(the bulge being a wallet)

Obviously not.......real men don't look...they just step out.

Don't you just scan the Q code.... Or is that something totally different?

Not at all silly.....why should rapid gains in capital wealth (almost exclusively the already wealthy) remain totally tax free whilst PAYE (usually poorer working people) pay tax on every penny they earn. If my salary doubles from 40k to 80k I have to pay 45% income tax on the increase, whilst a multi-millionaire's mansion doubles from 500k to a million and they don't pay a penny?

That is disgusting......no way would I be caught wearing odd socks.

The hotel we are staying in in BKK Nov 4 to Nov 15 is now one of the one night quarantine hotels. Are the people quarantining allowed to wander about, use the gym and pool, go outside????
