  1. The limit of 500 was made on BPH's Facebook page the same time the walk-in announcement came out. Perhaps some missed it, or it was lost when partial info was passed from one person to others, or some just flat out ignored it.
  2. My wife operates a small business selling plants here in Thailand so I asked her the OP's question. She mentioned Vitamin B-1 for plants, so I researched it, but it seems this vitamin is debatable of it's effectiveness, also mentioned was IBA (indole butyric acid). Both available on Lazada.
  3. Millions of doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been given, and there have only been 1,000 cases of heart inflammation. Doing the math, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that for every million doses given, there have been 67 cases of heart inflammation in boys 12 to 17 (nine in girls of that age group), 56 in those aged 18 to 24 (six in girls), and 20 in males 25 to 29 (three in girls). That means the risk is quite low. While it’s true overall that children and young adults have been less affected by COVID-19 than older adults, there’s no guarantee that they won’t get very sick if they catch it. Experts are particularly worried about the new COVID-19 variants, which seem to spread more quickly and cause more severe disease. The available vaccines do appear to protect against these variants, and the vast majority of current hospitalizations and deaths are in people who are unvaccinated. The risk is small — and the benefits are huge.
  4. You'll get better answers if you give your location.
  5. My wife got a SMS text from my 14 y/o son's international school today stating if we want him to get the Pfizer vax we need to add his name to list, name added ????. Are the paid international schools getting Pfizer and the free government schools getting Sinopharm?
  6. OP be sure to protect any other remaining assets before the daughter(s) find ways to take control of them.
  7. The OP asked about my thoughts of the recommendation by Thai authority..., I'm from the US and even though my family and I currently live in Thailand, I'll take the recommendations from the CDC over the Thais, luckily they both say the same thing, people 12 years and old should get vaxed.
  8. "Why only unvaccinated kids need to show this as the vaccinated can also catch and spread it. It's implying that if you have the vaccine you're immune to Covid." I don't take it as implying someone is immune to Covid, everyone knows you can still catch Covid if vaxed. I take it as those unvaccinated are likely to get sicker that those already vaxed and need to be monitored a little more closely.
  9. My wife just got a SMS text today from his international school saying our 14 y/o son is allowed to get the Pfizer vax, she added his name to the list and we will see what's next.
  10. What's the value of the bike? Cause I found this on the net; Thailand customs allows visitors to enter Thailand with personal effects, the value of which does not exceed 80,000 Baht, without paying import fees as long as: 1) the items are specifically for personal or professional use; 2) the amount of goods are reasonable; and 3) the items are not subject to restriction or prohibition.
  11. I recently replaced all the ageing wood on my eves/soffit with this vented vinyl material from Home Pro, it's both bug and weather resistant.
  12. Did she have access to the green book? If yes, there's ways they can borrow against the car. If I were you I'd make a police report fast as the borrowed money may come back to haunt you.

    Beer Prices

    That's a great price if the LEO is genuine and not some unauthorized mixture of beer/lao khao. I pay a little over 600b for a case of large LEOs.
  14. I'm not an official spokesman for the process, but I'd guess it's a mixture of both; those with the SMS text are sure to get their jab and the remaining vials will be given to the walkins.
  15. I agree to a point, but a long time ago there were MANY MANY unvaccinated and giving an open green light of "first come first served, no appt needed" would only cause mass crowding, frustration, confusion, and more complaints from the dammed if they/dammed if they don't types. I hope someone can give feedback on how today's no appointment needed experience went.
  16. These photos were taken at Central yesterday @1200, before the walk-in announcement.
  17. When sending money via Wise, does it mater which option we choose for the "reason for transfer" question? i.e. Long Term Stay vs monthly living expense.
  18. Aren't most of the girls currently back home? And if/when they do return, who's to say they won't be required to have been vaxed?

    Small Flies

    Eye gnats? Use lemon to keep gnats away from your face and eyes. Wet a rag with lemon, and brush it on your forehead and cheeks. Do not get the rag near your eyes, because lemon will burn. The gnats will be repelled by the scents of lemon and will stay away from your eyes.
  20. A unit that runs everyday, how many BTUs for how big of a room?
