  1. I learnt the basics of programming on the Sinclair ZX81. Plugged it in to an old TV. When the computer use to overheat I put in the fridge for a short while to cool down!
  2. I think you will find you got the Pfizer through expatvac not through the local hospital.
  3. One year later ........ I have had my eighth jab and have the ninth jab coming in two weeks. ????????
  4. Do you think they are going to give hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people the option to change their appointment dates at will?
  5. There will be no option to delay. The vaccine has a short expiry date when it is available. One month I believe when defrosted, which will mean when it is offered, you will have to use or lose.
  6. I agree , this poll has not been thought out properly. There is no option for people who have had 2 shots of Pfizer or 2 shots of AstraZenica. 60% for Other !!
  7. My wife wouldn't want a "great little car"! She wants a big car to show off in front of the villagers. ????????
  8. I can sell the OP a second-hand car for less than THB 2,000,000. How about THB 1,900,000? Save yourself THB 100,000! ????????
  9. A second-hand car costing THB 2,000,000 plus ? What car is this?
  10. Try Chulabhorn Royal College: https://www.facebook.com/CRAVaccineinfoCenter/
  11. Apply for a non-immigrant type O visa and when you get to Thailand extend for retirement.
  12. No, a non-immigrant 'O' visa is still a non-immigrant visa no matter how many extensions are granted.
  13. If older retirees were offered reasonably priced health plans and not refused cover because of age or because they have an existing condition, I am sure more would take up health insurance.
  14. If they are applying for a visa extension they are non-immigrants. So it is illogical to require someone to learn the language if they are not being allowed to immigrate into the country.
  15. Wise now have a digital debit card available as well. You can request and access this through 'Settings'. I don't know about needing a UK address though.
  16. Try contacting Expatvac using [email protected] Also call MFA on 02572 8442
  17. You need to compare the exchange rates not just the transfer fee. Today's Wise rate: THB 45.45 Today's Nationwide rate: THB 44.44
  18. Wise is a good choice to use for money transfers.. However, I wouldn't transfer all in one go, I would do installments spread over a period of time. This would limit your risk. It may also limit any exchange rates losses due to fluctuations in rates. Thailand doesn't use Iban codes, just Swift codes and bank account numbers.
  19. Hooray! My new Asda sim card arrived today, now to find out what to do with it....
  20. Do you avoid the lunch hour? Go say, mid-morning (10am) or mid afternoon (2pm). If I was you, I would ask them if it will take long as you are feeling unwell. Don't volunteer to come back another day.
  21. This is a problem many of us will have to face as we get older. ☹️
