  1. Eight days after getting my Pfizer booster, I experienced mild but pervasive chest pain. I decided to play it safe and visit the Heart Health Center at Bangkok Hospital. They had me perform a stress test while doing an EKG, but found nothing to be concerned about. The doctor felt it was most likely the result of the booster and it was not the first case he had seen.
  2. Can anyone confirm permitted number of plants in flowering phase per person, I heard it was "1".
  3. Thanks for sharing your experience. My son may be coming out to see me in the Kingdom next month, his first trip over. So was the test administered at the airport and then the officials forwarded the results to the hotel? Also which hotel did you use?
  4. You might try sifting through the many videos on this Thai YouTube channel, everything from small rivers to offshore. https://www.youtube.com/user/FishingEZ
  5. 555. Hey, its not for everyone, but well stocked cooler on board, and small craft does not spook warry prey. Also great access to shallower water and low fuel cost.
  6. Sorry for late reply, just saw notification now. Thanks for your informed, balanced, and opened minded response! And, yes, there are several factors in the Kingdom that have led to a not so favorable opinion of the sport. Fly by night rental outfits renting skis to inexperienced (often high) people in densely populated beach areas is high on that list. I primarily go to wild beaches on uninhabited islands and also try to be as unobtrusive as possible when near landlocked people (amongst the otherwalrusses). It is a sad state of affairs that this light boaters paradise does not support a larger active following, I think largely due to being cost prohibitive for most Thais. The large reservoir behind Srinagarindra Dam is the premium large body of fresh water open to recreational light boaters that I know of, and I'm planning to visit there soon. Yes, many of the coastal rivers I explore have a lot of floating debris, imperative to carry a declogging device. According to a friend of mine, Kaeng Krachan Lake up until a couple of years ago, allowed PWC's. This the largest body of fresh water in Thailand and 40 minutes from my home, instead of allowing PWC use on the unpopulated portions of the lake, all use is now prohibited. This is the kind of thing that can happen without a larger and organized political action group. Registering the trailer is a can of worms that I'm still exploring, seems kind of optional and it may be cheaper just to pay the small fine that may never happen. Liability issues while towing and car insurance are the concern here.
  7. I've been operating a recently purchased 2018 PWC offshore to near islands mostly in Prachuap Khirikan province. It has the following pertinent specs: 3.25meters length, 325Kg, 125hp 3 cylinder motor. The craft was last registered in Chonburi, and is an early-retired rental unit. I plan to register the craft in my Thai wife's name who is a homeowner in Phetchaburi province. I want to set the craft up for sportfishing and pleasure boating offshore and the larger bodies of water outside of Kanchanaburi. At this point I've come up with a range of requirements for the captains license and craft/trailer registration. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
