When will people learn that it's nothing to do with the breed? It is how they are raised. Whether it's a lion, a polar bear, a chihuahua, a cat, a budgie or whatever, they are all capable of inflicting very serious injuries and therefore need to be trained.

I think you misspelled "Warehouse"?

Wow, I wasn't aware of that ... thanks for letting me know ????

Oh my goodness! Imagine what might happen if Thai motorists were allowed on the road "without the need to undergo the testing or examinations required to be granted a license in Thailand"

Fallon Sherrock holds her own against the men at darts - she got to the final of the Nordic Masters a few months ago where she was beaten by Michael Van Gerwen: https://www.skysports.com/darts/news/12288/12411839/nordic-masters-fallon-sherrock-denied-first-pdc-crown-as-michael-van-gerwen-wins-first-title-in-2021

All these Thai policies meet the "Thailand Pass" requirement. Some of them provide asymptomatic coverage, some don't (the cheapest one, for example). I used Axa, fortunately I didn't have to make a claim. https://asq.in.th/thailand-covid-insurance

Thanks for the help, all done and dusted.

I have an old motorbike that hasn't been taxed/insured for over a year. It has a 2564 sticker on it. Do I now need to pay for a full or part year insurance and tax on this bike? How much should I expect it to cost? I don't know how the system works, a brief explanation would be very helpful ????

Thanks for all the suggestions - I opted for Tawan in Patong in the end because it was nearby. Will check out Prasut next time I am in the area.

Indeed. Have been through this process before. Any specific recommendations gratefully accepted ????

I'd like a helmet of at least reasonable quality that fits my big farang head. Somewhere near Patong/Kamala would be preferable if possible. Any ideas?

They have announced special rules for the Pattaya event - each adult swimmer that your jetski hits knocks 15 seconds off your time, and 30 seconds off if you can strike a child or an OAP.

Insurance covering asymptomatic hospitalization has been available for some time. You would hope that these policies would be paying out as promised ... This site shows prices for symptomatic and non-symptomatic cover for different ages and timeframes, quite useful. All policies listed are Thai: https://asq.in.th/thailand-entry-requirements The reasons given for asymptomatic tourists being "denied coverage" isn't clear, but as you can see from the above, 2 of the 5 policies specifically do not include it, including the cheapest one.

"Quarantine horror" is from the "Yahoo News" headline. She isn't quoted anywhere saying that herself.

How would "dave dave" have known that they were reading a Thai book?

Judging by my recent experience, you can go to Phuket Immigration a week or more early (Friday 22nd Jan or before in your case) and they will give you a 30 day extension for your 60 day Tourist Visa. As another poster said, Patong Immigration is very friendly and convenient. I think you need to apply for the 30 day extension before you can get a COVID extension.

Easy to explain. They get paid less money.

How do you know that they aren't reading a book on their iPad/phone/device? Do you go walk round the whole coffee shop staring at people's screens and demanding to know why they aren't reading Western literature? After all, it's not as if you'd be able to read anything in Thai ????

That's an interesting possibility, DrJack. I'm not aware of reports of Phuket Immigration turning down COVID extensions, so since this would be my first one I am inclined to go down there early and see if luck is on my side.

That seems like solid advice. I was sure I read somewhere on this forum that immigration might just add 60 days to the date that you applied for the COVID extension, and ignore any time remaining on your visa? That could of course have been nonsense ???? What you say makes more sense to me.
