    Nationwide Milk Shortage

    in Pattaya

    Posted

    Just now, Pink Mist said:

    We just stopped by three 7-11's after having been to Lotus and Gourmet market and Villa.  Very little milk at all on the shelves, but the full fat Meji, or Dutch Mill is what we normally buy.

    Very strange, cows don’t just stop producing milk ????

    If you copy / paste the Thai words from the app - กองโรคติดต่อทั่วไป - 

     

    Google has it listed this way - 

    Bureau of General Communicable Diseases, Department of Disease Control, MOPH, Thailand VG3H+83P, Tambon Bang Khen, Mueang Nonthaburi District, Nonthaburi 11000

     

    These are the co-ordinates - 13.853305141101103, 100.52754765468062

     

    I cant find it listed in the Grab app - may need to go to a nearby landmark.

    Thank you

    I have an appointment in Bangkok at the "Division of Communicable Disease Office" to collect my Covid Vaccine passport. But I have no idea where it is. I tried looking on Google with not much success. I have attached a picture of the booking appointment.
    Any advice would be great.
    Thanks, John

    Impossible to tell. I went yesterday around 11:30, line was big but moved pretty fast. at midday line was even bigger.

     

    But its super well organised and line moves very fast.

     

    In all seriousness, both jabs, hospital staff, nurses, volunteers did an amazing job at keeping lines moving and making the whole process as smooth as possible.

     

    Can not think of anything that could be done better or faster.

     

    Also amazingly, with so many people, all the staff remain friendly and smiley even when dealing with some super thick foreigners.

     

    EDIT: Sorry not yesterday, but 2 days ago, was out by 12:52, so an hour an a bit

    well said, totally agree. I had the same perfect experience

    you have to apply at the Ampur. Usual requirements are:

    • A  certified translation of your passport (may have to go to Bkk for this unless there is a local translation service they accept -  or you already have such a translation).
    • The landlord or owner of your residence must come along with their Thai ID and blue book.

    Some Ampurs may impose additional requirements, ask at yours.

     

    Thank you, very helpful.

    But they are nice people to talk to, I’ve just spent a while chatting to an Australian Probably getting a software glitch sorted out in the maps app. The maps has difficulty finding Thai addresses and there is a way to (Probably) add them.

     

    The shipping is incredibly fast with under promise and over perform. Any problem does get sorted out if you give a little more  time.

    How were you able to add an adderss  to Apple maps. I have same problem, maps won't recognise my location/home in Pattaya.

     

    Thanks

    Ten year visa for US

    in Visas and migration to other countries

    I will answer Johns question first, she gave the interview in Thai, and questions asked were where are you going in the United states, how long have you known husband, where do you work, what are you going to do in the United States and that was about that. 

    I will answer observers question now, Requirements and red tape, cannot say what the requirements were other than being married this time around. The only thing they tell you to bring is your passport as well as other supporting documentation that will help your case. We did put together a folder with finicial information, letters from her boss, and letters from friends and my family. This information was never ask for. The red tape or barrier is the DS160 form you have to fill out for any type of visa totally in english, getting a pass word to fill the form can be a pain, as well as other computer snafus that should not be there in an organization such as the State Department. I other words the process is not easy and would be impossible if you had no english skills. We applied in 2016 same form same info in folder, the only difference was the fact we were not married, the fact we had been together for 6 years had no influence what so ever, application denied. This time we were married registered in Chiang Mai City office, nothing different on DS160 other than being married application accept.

    If most of the guys I hear complaining about the Thai system had to fill out a similar form to the DS160 but all in Thai half of the folks stying here would have never made it. Over all the Thai system easier to recieve a visa or extension of stay it is in English as well as Thai. Other than the odd IO who decides to add something new to the application process I would prefer the Thai system. People from many countries can walk into Thailand for 30 days very few questions asked. Have a Thai try that in the US and see what happens, my wife did mention that fact several times while I was filling out her form.

    Thanks for the feedback.
