Fair Enough.Life sure must suck in that position. Suppose Govt. Compensation is all they can get from that situation. Younger folk should Move though …..

TRUE Great for Live English Premier Rugby & Football. Other local Cable is complete rubbish. Never watch western tv shows only NatGeo, Discovery & History Channels, all on TRUE. Use Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Apple for TV series & films. SFX Cinema for Latest Movies. No use for these unreliable streaming “boxes” …….had once, never again.

Pagallim report most accurate here. Karon & Kata Beaches are Open & best on Phuket. Karon main road a ghost town with many power cuts so don’t stay there.Karon Beach has Reilly Irish Pub & Anda Coffee & comfortable No Name / Walkabout Sports Bars & Hilton. Forget Kamala. Ghost Town & Pointless when you can stay in the lively Patong or Rawai, both close to Karon / Kata. Do check out the uniquely wonderful STAY Resort Rawai.

Often there. Never seen a single bib there . They do pull over foreign bikes everywhere else and have their lucrative late hour road blocks outside Patong and Rawai.

So what IS the point of this practice ? No evidence for Safety ( that’s what your Horn is for). What Else ? Aesthetics, Nicer Sound, Performance I would get but no one here claiming these so why the extra ( designed ?) Noise (if avoidable) ?

So? Solution is still Move.

Obviously nowhere Urban. House with Back Garden near Hill or Beach Walks. Kata or Karon Hills Ideal.

Never did any DLT video or online. Used Yellow Book / Thai ID with Longstay Visa & Med Cert & Old Licenses to convert two year license car & mc to five year in March 2021. TIP: Produce Air Ticket for imminent travel to get immediate DLT final test / issue appointment. Cancelled my flight later same day…..

Another BIB traffic scamming scheme commences…..politically presented as “increased road safety” of course….might even work ….for a week ….

Living near major Airport but expecting quiet….. move

Complete Nonsense. They have already been processed. Cannot change a completed personal test process. Already past the transmission phase anyway. Thai Problem that so many Thais are not vaxxed or vaxxed with Sinovac. Nothing to do with the dirty foreigners ….this time…..oh but wait …

Vachira Hosp. busy yesterday with vaxxing Thais with first Sino then AZ. So Don’t understand this four hours long wait walk -in stadium service. use Vachira ! Packed though ……but organized with everybody seated.

Does this walk-in process include for foreigner Pfizer booster after govt. AZ double jab here ? Or is it just govt. Pfizer 2nd shot after Sinovac 1st jab ?

Ozi; if we remove lack of education and add politics as root causes of expressed ( but not actual) Covid ignorance then the only remaining conclusion is “ evil deranged liars” = your “death cult” ; so much in common then with a certain bomb-loving “religion”.

Yes Cap, but here’s my killer theory …probably half the anti vax cult ARE vaxxed and just Trolling ! So that broad 20% ignorance drops to 10% …so we could then be close perhaps to Actual “Herd Immunity” ?

Invariably the anti -vax cult crowd appear to be absent any education beyond junior high. It’s as if they never discovered how to learn properly, to challenge unreason, like pre-enlightenment throwbacks, they are immune to reason, logic and true science. Cue “sad” emojis, but no rational argument, from such “characters”, when responding to simple common sense. Surely they misguidedly see themselves as rebel freedom- fighters for some grand cause. They also invariably invoke their individual “Rights” without any mention of balancing those with Duty and Common Good. Isolate the lot of them now by Law. Let’s have a Vote as the time for discussion is Done.

There are no real “rules” here once inside the country which cannot be ignored or circumvented by connections and payment. Utterly Corrupt BUT far Safer than “rule of law” western nations. I would not comply with that described venue entry process. Not present here in Open Phuket. Bangkok like all large cities seems a literal pandemic nightmare. As AZ vaxxed Resident I can’t catch or transmit Covid in any serious way so when out in Patong tonight I will not be following any damn “rules”. Nor will anybody else either…… Impossible to have a good time with mask! Wouldn’t bother. There are the Buddhist Cultural norms here and enforced regs. by govt and banks about having certain docs. And some property laws are enforced by courts against unconnected people for political or financial reasons. There are NO persons of any influence in prison here ! That’s it . murderers walk free here every day. people without valid passports / ID are ignored. Lawyers mainly Crooks or not even qualified Lawyers. Property freely used to acquire illegal loans, etc. Now it’s wise to comply with certain “rules” to minimize your financial & legal exposure as a foreigner such as Property, driving, Imm. & bank documents ( which only you must hold !) BUT connected / wealthy persons here can and do just buy their way out of any non-compliance trouble if they can’t be bothered with “ the rules”, which evasion is simply impossible in any advanced nation.

It’s been coming and the time is now for mandatory vax by law. Analogy is Smoking. Even civilized advanced nations with educated rational populations, with full access to sufficient science, surprisingly all have this circa 20% adult hardcore rump of dangerous anti vaxxers who need to be dealt with by our elected reps. enacting democratic laws for best protection of all.

Natural Position is Down / Closed. Otherwise Open Access to Sewer…and Snakes ! Safe & Tidy & Lady Happy.

Use WISE to get THB to your THB account. Avoid using Foreign Bank Cards here. If using them at ATM select No Conversion.
