Sorry to hijack this thread, but does anyone know if the 12-month (actually 2x 6-months) self printed statements available via Kasikorn's new K-Biz internet site are acceptable to Immigration (rather than having to wait for a branch to supply a statement). I realise a bank letter would still be required.

From what I've read Omicron is safer than the vaccines, and will probably be better at protecting against future infections.... ,

I see the Tourism Authority of Thailand are looking to create a TAT Coin. (Could they have come up with a worse name??) https://cointelegraph.com/news/thai-lawmakers-urged-to-approve-tourism-crypto-to-entice-digital-nomads

I read a few days ago that you need to be double vax'd to enter KSR now.... btw, I'm not vax'd (I'm happy to wait my turn), but I did contract Covid a few weeks ago. Symptoms were like a mild cold.. Slight fever (+1 C higher than normal), sore throat, ticklish cough for a few days, and loss of taste and smell for about 10 days. I did take Ivermectin at the first signs, and after a home "lateral flow test". Girlfriend also tested positive, but her daughter was negative, despite being the first one with symptoms - maybe no longer shedding the virus.. However, if you're very old & overweight, diabetic, or have other high risks then a vaccine is probably safer than acquiring immunity naturally. .

There are around 5-6,000 different crypto currencies (compared to just 160 national currencies), with a total valuation of around $3 Trillion. Too many to even list.. Bitcoin represents around 40-45% of that value, ETH another 15-20%.. The top 10 (incl. stablecoins) are 80%, the top 100, over 96%... Most popular exchanges are limited to a selection of perhaps 100 different coins, so unless you have loads of accounts you will have a fairly limited choice of crypto available to you. Any of the top 10-20 could easily increase 2-3x from here over the next few years, but unlikely to do much better. If you want BIG gains you need to look further down the pecking order...and then find an exchange that lists the ones you want. I look for coins that are newly listed on popular exchanges. Look for coins that have a high turnover. Eg. BTC daily volume is typically less than 1% of its total valuation; most are 1-5%, but some may be over 50%. High volume tends to correlate with a rising price as more people are jumping on board (but not always, so beware).. Next look at the potential value or the number of unissued coins.. around 90% of all possible BTC (out of 21 million) is already in existence.. so there is not much more inflation of its supply possible. At the other extreme, Shiba Inu has only 50%.. out of a possible 1 quadrillion coins.. and it's already in 11% place with 1% of the total crypto value.. it might increase a little more, but it won't continue its recent past performance.. If you're willing to watch continuously there are some coins that can jump 20-30% up and down every day (sometimes a few times every day). Even if the overall trend is down, you can often make 15-20% every day by timing the swings. IOTX is one that I've been playing with over the past few weeks.. My 1st (small) buy was up 7x, although it's since dropped back, but daily swings are still typically 20-30%, so plenty of opportunities to profit. It's currently in 64th place, with $2.5Bn total valuation, and around 15-20% daily volume/valuation... and there are only 5% of the coins left to be issued... so it ticks all my boxes. But for these more volatile coins only "invest" what you are prepared to loose. Good luck, and have fun..

After seeing a few more reports that the on-line system was working I made another attempt, and having looked at a previous submission (to check if the system was working) I noticed that I'd been incorrectly typing the Arrival Card # (memory obviously not as good as it was...??). Anyway, I applied and accepted OK on Tuesday, with the approval this morning.

I see from your later post that you use Rayong... as do I. I've tried on-line a few times since, still with no success, so it looks like I'll need to visit in person.. a 60km each way trip for me, and I suppose I'll need to get my bank book updated on the day to "prove" I have maintained my deposit... PITA trying to park by the bank... And all the time with covid still flourishing in Rayong.....

From the videos I've seen on Thai TV/etc it does appear that the health workers aspirate before injecting, to check that they're not inadvertently injecting it direct to a vein. Injecting IV is thought to be one of the main causes of severe adverse reactions and/or deaths from the vax.

Can anyone confirm if the on-line system (website) is working currently. I've successfully done most of my 90-day reports online since the system was introduced, including 2 since my last extension in March this year, but it's not letting me get past the first page now.. Report is due 13th Nov, and I've tried every day this week without success. TIA, edited to add... I can access the previous reports OK, and that normally means the system is working.
