  1. It is possible the terms of the Thailand Elite membership change too.
  2. As I noted, that's why I decided 3 years ago to use an agent to do all things related to IMM (at CW). He is up to speed with whatever shenanigans there are at CW, and I fulfill my financial obligations (correct funds -THB800K) permanently in the bank, and all the letters from said bank, including a 1 year statement, plus passbook, plus letter etc etc. His fee is money well-spent as far as I'm concerned, and good for my blood pressure.
  3. Exactly. I think the TM.30 has gone into hibernation again, to be brought out when another big joke is required.
  4. I use an agent now for all things IMM related. We live in Bangkok, and filed the TM.30 when the furore first arose, (pre-covid), and have lived in the same address. Last year in May we went to Koh Samui for 3 nights at an hotel, where they probably filed a TM.30. Upon returning to our address in Bangkok I asked the IMM if I/he needed to file a TM.30 or not. He said "no". In October last year we went to Spain and upon return I again asked the same question. Again, the same answer: "no". Since the May trip, I have obtained a new passport and the stamps were transferred without any issue, and my agent has filed all the 90 day reports since, with no issues. I don't even pretend to understand when, why or how the TM.30 needs to be filed now.
  5. Can you not block them? My Dtac & Samsung S21 blocks all spam calls as spam. Not sure how that identification works. WhatsApp you can block, if they use the same number each time.
  6. They have to discuss the date for next year's meeting.
  7. If you apply in Thailand the VFS application office provide a British Embassy letter for IMM to allow you to transfer stamps from old passport to new.
  8. Sharper: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12573454/?ref_=tt_urv Started off ok, but then so many twists and turns in the last segment I was itching for it to end, so I could go to sleep.
  9. What about the (chief) purser? He/She has the responsibility, but I suppose only takes the salary, not the accountability.
  10. Wash, rinse, repeat. Burn, rain, repeat.
  11. Is Thai Eye Center "his uncle's center"?
  12. 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).
  13. 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 >
  14. Or use zebra crossings/crosswalks to get from one side of the road to the other.
  15. Thank you so much. Will certainly give it a go.
  16. 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).
  17. 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.
  18. 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?
  19. 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.

  21. 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).
