Doubt they'll struggle, more likely just to borrow more and increase debt. Thais seem to have no problem with being in debt.

Perfect, just ignore it.

I've need one each of the last 3 times for renewals.

Free? IS there a criteria one must meet?

Think they're always needed.

Depends what you do...

Certainly do, i made a lot of money selling all my gold ( 2.5kg / 163 baht ) when Brexit happened.

LOL

What you describe is correct, but it'll never change, like it or leave it. If you mind your own business you'll never be involved with any drama's in thailand as serious as this, or you'd be very unlucky to be.

who cares???

Not any more, there's a herb out there for every occasion now. Joe Rogan ( a massive advocate ) uses a certain type for working out for focus, he's a mean Mofo as well.......google / YouTube is your friend.

Perfect outcome.

Would you rather just wait at the side of the road?

You could n't change the flat with the spare yourself or there was no spare?

Handiest thing about having correct address is you can use as proof of where you live ( for some things you do ). Many many Thais paperwork are a mess - car and bike books + licenses / tabien baan / chanotes etc all with completely different names, it's something they don't seem to care about.

I arrived 25th night and had to return 1st for second test, when i rocked up i tested then went home 450kms away, got results 2300 that night. I was told that if + result i'd be able to self isolate anyway.

Thai's have no idea what's happening outside thailand, for a lot not even outside their Tambon. They don't care.

I just recently did test and go. Arrived day 1 at about 2100, immediately test then went to bed. Woke up at 0600, results by 0630 and offski by 0700. Got a message from the nurse to come for second test at 0800, turned up showed ID etc. Asked how long for results and was told 10-12 hours, when i asked why so long the guy said i could go home and wait, so i drove home 400kms away, got results at 2300 that night. Mate that was in same hotel similar story. It's all for show...... and money.

Thai Pass is very simply and getting even more so. Anyone who's travelled quite a bit in the last 2 years will realise things are getting much easier and will continue to do so.

My bad you changed icon and did not delete post, apologies.

You post ( now gone ) suggested that some places within Phetchabun province it may not be possible. However, in my recent experience i'm saying otherwise. how do you delete posts?

I've actually been here and never thought much of it tbh, not much going on when i went, about 2020 i think or maybe just before covid.

Muang PB / Lomsak / Wichian there's no problem getting alcohol at any of the places i've been over the last few months, none at all. Khao Kho is the same.

Tell me where in Muang Phetchabun at a popular restaraunt you cannot get a drink. More or less back to normal, has been for a while.

No problem to drink at SR outside by the pool, great place.
