Better yet don't expose yourself to infection risk until actually eligible.

There was a previous report of a member that wasn't eligible yet and not allowed to register until they are eligible.

Tv movie by Ron Howard. Pretty trashy, pretty funny. Including four links. The first is the entire movie though very bad quality but you have to watch the beginning part because a lot of that is not on the part 1 link. Then parts 1,2, and 3 are better quality. Watch this until 12:50 https://youtu.be/cToHoWnZPdQ Then these three https://youtu.be/NeGg_IOfObA https://youtu.be/RpKPg6sb79s https://youtu.be/tt5cTeYShAA

I think the trashing of International Living is overblown. Yeah they are a profit seeking business. But at this point I think their biggest flaw is a tendency to overemphasize the positives of places and glossing over the negatives. But they still provide a lot of good information especially about lesser known choices and you're not meant to take their word as gospel. If you're interested in a place its your responsibility to go deeper than puff pieces from any source.

Yeah, but they won't. That's not how they roll.

Everyone should have the right to be informed of what's in the food they eat, and what is not, and to not be deceived. This is a much bigger issue than specifically Islamic dogma. For example, the other day I ordered an expensive duck dish from a Chinese restaurant. It was duck alright. Duck Beaks! The menu did not say it was a dish with only Duck Beaks! What council should I complain to?

This is kind of bad but I'm still watching it. I feel dirty.

Yeah, not being in the top 10 is significant. People can find the full list in this link: Best Places to Retire in 2022: The Annual Global Retirement Index (internationalliving.com)

Maybe they could send a text? (Easy to translate.)

Hi there, Simon. What an exciting and somewhat unusual new "home" that you have. Coincidentally, I quite recently looked into Mauritius as an option but I'm confused about the income rules. I have read that you need to import the 1500 per month but from another source I read that you need to PROVE at least that amount as income (such as pension). So, which is it? If it's more flexible then someone with pension of 1300 but having assets could still easily qualify but if the rule is based on proven income, it would be a no go. Another question, do the transfers need to be each and every month, or could you in theory just import the full 18,000 one time?

Wow, and low cost too.

At this point I think its logical to assume that almost all of us are going tomeet Mr. Omicron. If isolating at home which is very common now its a good idea to check that the case isn't becoming serious by checking oxygen levels. So looking for suggestions for a specific pulse oximeter from Lazada to buy. Or warnings about which not to buy.

Where exactly did you call to hear that? Another member said when they call with a time they can only say in Thai.

I want to note that Pattaya 103 Fabulous FM radio has been consistently broadcasting that all of the vaccine boost programs from Banglamung Hospital are for THAIS ONLY. They also announced today the program has moved from the indoor sports stadium to the hospital failing to mention the Monks college. I am not suggesting their announcement is correct. Just reporting what they have been saying.

What's the difference between the BPH and Jomtien Hospital paid for Moderna program? Delivery in March and even then no guarantees is probably TOO LATE to be of use to boost against Omicron.

So predictable. Backing away from your ridiculous clearly worthless anti expat histrionics, the question I have myself and would ask others including Thais: Is it REALLY worth the risk now to voluntarily expose ourselves to conditions where infection risk is very high in order to get boosted? Its fair to assume that Omicron will continue to spread very rapidly here locally, then peak, then decline, perhaps by March. So why take such a high risk now? Yes good chance many or most of us will be infected with this anyway sooner or later, but why basically almost ask for it right now? I don't have a definitive answer. Its something we'll have to grapple with ourselves. There isn't a right or wrong answer. So far personally i have not gone in. Yes I want a boost. No I don't want to expose myself to a very high risk of infection in the process. I suppose most everyone knows by now how incredibly infectious Omicron is. It's second only to measles.

You're missing the point entirely. Queuing for water brings relief when you get the water. Queueing for anti Omicron boosters in cramped poorly ventilated environments has a high chance of infecting you with that disease. I think its an outrage.

Excellent Brazilian film. Pedro Fasanaro looks like Michael Cera, yeah? Private Desert (2021) - IMDb The Independent Critic - "Private Desert" The Brazilian Oscar Entry

No. From the U.S.

NO!!!!! https://edition.cnn.com/2022/01/11/health/deliberate-omicron-infection-wellness/index.html 5 reasons you should not deliberately catch Omicron to 'get it over with'

Sounds like projection.

If you're looking for guarantees you're barking up the wrong tree.

Temporary retirement visitors? OK, everyone is temporary but that should be another realness alert to retirees that view themselves as having higher more permanent status than that. Thailand doesn't offer that to retirees.

I would trust Fascino the best Boots P and F chain Hospitals are very overpriced.

I think you should go together. Try to get any kind of doctor's note. That might help. People asking why wait so long, that's irrelevant. Stuff happens. This couple now must deal with it. Best wishes.
