Is Thai Eye Center "his uncle's center"?

Thank you! I'm 65, but in good physical health, and have no comorbidities. I will wait until the bivalent becomes available in Thailand, although that may be more than another 2 months (which will be 6 months after my infection).

I am reading a sea change in the need to get vaccine boosters for covid. I've had 3 (the last 12 months ago), covid itself 3 months ago, (nearly 4), and I was planning on getting a 4th vaccination 4 months after my infection, as previously recommended by the CDC. But, as I said, there seems to be a growing school of thought that thinks it is not a good idea to get any more boosters. I don't know if any doctors here would subscribe to that, as most are in thrall to big Pharma. My query is simply to find out if others are reading the same articles. The Wall Street Journal has one about the new bivalent vaccine, which says it is not as effective as the original vaccine. < Link to unapproved social media source removed >

Or use zebra crossings/crosswalks to get from one side of the road to the other.

Thank you so much. Will certainly give it a go.

I'm on board with that.

I will operate that way too for the foreseeable. I'm having another vax in a month, so maybe the operator can do the magic and update my records, (Mor Prom, Yellow passport and Vax Certs).

Well not in Thailand, (at the moment), but possibly for some countries when one travels overseas, (like Hong Kong) etc. Things are still dynamic on requirements, as demonstrated by the relaxation of China's "zero covid" policy, and the resultant travel surge, and on/off restrictions imposed.

I have read in this forum that it is possible to change Mor Prom details wen you get a new passport. Indeed, I think I already did that, but as they recently updated the app, it has reverted to my old passport number. When I go to the Mor Prom LINE page it only shows my non-Thai ID number, and no facility to change the (blank) passport section. When I go to the app the Personal Information it shows my User ID (vax ID), but no way of adding my passport, and only suggests going to a "MohPrompt Station". Is there anyway to update online?

Impressive measures.

Yes, Philip inclined to put his foot in his mouth, but never to trash his family, and always to support the monarchy, of which he was an integral part, including through his own ancestry.

Add to that India and Japan. Thailand is just looking at the tourist $$$, but the cost of lockdowns etc, should they be required, will far exceed the perceived financial benefits. This is all sounding too similiar to January 2020, when the 10,000 from Wuhan came to Thailand for Chinese New Year. It will be a real test of whether the now high rate of vaccinated population in Thailand (as opposed to in 2020), have sufficient protection to weather the viral storm, (into whatever form it has now mutated).

I think you mean the "grift" that keeps on taking.

Living in a high rise condo we constantly have pigeons perching on balcony balustrades, and leaving a souvenir of their visit. They are an annoying pest, but there is not much to be done to deter them, short of buying a hawk. I have tried a deterrent tablet from Daiso that is supposed to emit a smell that scares them, and it appeared to work.

Thanks for pointing out my oversight.

Yes, I've just informed her not to come in this week, and to do a test on Tuesday, (4+ days after her sister had symptoms). I'm pretty sure she will be positive by then. It's an abundance of caution, but at 65 & 68 it's best to avoid obvious scenarios where we are exposed again.

My maid has just informed me that her sister, with whom she lives, has tested positive for Covid today. I had Covid 35 days ago, with normal cold/'flu symptoms, (I've had 3 vaccines), but I'm not sure whether my recent infection, now cleared, will give me a slightly better protection from the next infection. Just juggling whether to pause the maid for 5 or 10 days. This goes on forever. Any thoughts?

This shop "Photo ID" on Saladaeng, at the Silom Road end does passport photos. They take about 30 minutes to process, but the staff are well-versed in what size/background etc is required. The Silom Road area is next to BTS Saladaeng.

What hosting the APEC Summit means to Thailand: Traffic disruptions, traffic jams.

You could try contacting Mac Modern (the official LINE) for Xiaomi. They answer questions relating to the product.

Yeah. I didn't bother to pursue the NDID registration, because I assumed it would preclude non Thai ID cards. And I barely use Paypal, so it's not a big deal to me. I can't even remember why I opened a Paypal account, or when I last used it. Having Thai debit cards for Thai online transactions, and international cards for anywhere else, plus online bank transfer facilities covers all that I require now. Besides, if I recall correctly Paypal's transaction fees are high.

My ID number (Pink, I'm not Thai), was accepted, but there are other hurdles, as detailed above.

These are the requirements. I have a Pink ID card, which I keyed in. You then have to have an NDID, which I haven't registered, go to the bank etc.... I think I can live without PayPal.
