Same here (north Thailand) We got sick with dry cough late December-early January

Dry cough lasted weeks but no severe symptoms other than that

May 2020

Refused to pay and left the order

Parcels from USA are still arriving-but expect delays

PM sent

If your serious about bee keeping the check the plans for-"plans for topbar hive"

Just google it

Its another option-easy to construct-great for a variety if bees due to no pre-set foundation

I added a landstrop size box to one end to easily introduce bees from a standard frame size comb down from the top bars

Sure air quality is terrible,but slowly the local farmers are changing from burning to just plowing the stubble back in.

  The major problem now is the fires on the mountains,whether set on purpose by the mushroom gatherers or by more natural means.

 That and the lack of garbage collection that leaves most villagers no option but to burn there trash (usually at night  to avoid getting fined). Makes air quality even worse at night when theirs no escaping it.

 At well over 3 times the max limit for PPM its sure to cause respiratory problems.

Village announcement this morning said B300 fine foe no mask

At least they DID hand out fabric masks here 2 days ago

It should be manditory to at least to slow the spread

Ya-and worse is Lao and Malaysia are also closed I understand

   And with today's new regulation requiring a medical cert. and specific COVID health insurance we couldn't get back in even if we could leave.

  Pretty much out of options for visa requirements aren't we.

Anyone? I'm in the same situation.

I will need to extend Non o marriage visa shortly

Done at university hospital Chiang Rai-between 11,000B and 15,000B

including blood work

Yes-confirm first,for all the good it'll do you

Went for CT scan

Asked the total cost 3 times before going-12,000B

After test was presented with a bill for double that

Luckily the wife was with me-she went to billing department and ended up paying 10,000B

So they not only misrepresent there costs the often hit you harder if your a foreigner

Bought 1 kilo bulk seed

Planted some and sprouted right up

Now have never ending supply

Can't beat the cost of homegrown

Used frontline -but it was imported

Bought it from local vet shop and was totally useless

Shots from local vet works for ticks and heartworm

Fleas are controlled by drops monthly

Old post-but an update-Across from the old bus station theres at least 4 different herb shops

All carry literally hundreds of Thai,Chinese and western herbs and spices

Same thing happened to me-they never stapled the card

Paid 1oo B for a new card at immigration

390 B delivered in Chiang Rai

Hi-Looking for tool steel bar    (high speed steel)

Does anyone know the correct color code sprayed on the end of steel

Funeral fund-100B per person-if there's 3 persons covered in your family,pay 300B

Local village saving plan-up to the depositor -generally 500B per month

Easy enough to make, and easy authentic Jamaican recipe's found here.

Found nearly all ingredients locally.

Best option is spray foam on underside of roof tiles-but its costly.

Next best is the rolls of foil back insulation-can be glued on roof tile or onto ceiling tiles

Be sure there's adequate attic ventilation with either roof vents or gable vents

Went to PEA-next day they installed 2 cement poles at 600 Bht each and ran wire from main road

Then paid extra to have them connect from there to the house-like 100 Bht each and a bottle of thai whiskey and the cost of the wire-all told under 2000 B and done right.
