Did You Listen To What Momma Told You?
DefaultName replied to siftasam's topic in Family and Children
Stick in at school or you'll end up sweeping the streets. Have you SEEN what street sweepers EARN these days! ???? -
I bought last year - not 10m though! - paid the deposit from funds already here, then transferred in more than the full purchase price. That way the "it came from overseas" paper from the bank showed enough ฿. I had no problems - used a solicitor of course, I don't have the money to risk anything going wrong.

Yup, here too.

It's a monstrosity, especially in its prominent position by the sea. I know that there are rules as to how high buildings can be within a certain distance of the sea, and I'm suddenly wondering if that new flat bit between it and the sea - where they feed the poor these days - was intended to increase that distance and help make it legal. IMO, knock it down and burn it, and put that hideous new Walking Street sign on the pyre while you're at it.

Many of them don't care, not all, but a lot. They want to be SEEN to be green, but they don't actually care.

If you have your 13 digit ID number - the ones issued for this purpose start 60000 - then download the Mor Phrom app, and you should see your certificate and Digital Health Pass. Or not, there are reports of issues with it (there's a shock ????). It worked fine for me anyway. Oh, there's a pop-up with a lot of Thai on it - something about post-jab feedback - and 2 options, the small Thai word is "close" and that gets me past it.

I use surge protector extension leads in my condo (where I can plug in 5 things) but I don't actually know if they're any use at all as my wall sockets don't have an earth. Does anyone know about that? If they do work, maybe the OPO could use those. Not too worried personally as my building has good lightning protection - metal rope round the roof, which goes to the ground in several places. Multiple local transformers cooking off causing power cuts haven't affected anything either. Am I safe?

Central Pattaya. Storm yes, but nothing special.

Vaccination on a tourist visa?
DefaultName replied to placeholder's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I'm not aware that visa status plays any part here, I don't remember being asked about mine. -
Thailand to introduce 500 baht tourist entry fee from Jan 1st
DefaultName replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
"to bail out tourism businesses hit by the pandemic" If it was used for that, it would almost be acceptable. Likely the big boys of the tourist industry will benefit, but I think the small players who really need it won't see a satang. -
Everyone will be exposed vs. everyone will be infected?
DefaultName replied to Jingthing's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
As a non-medical person, my take is that everyone will be infected. The vast majority won't even notice. The vaccinated who get sick won't get very sick. The unvaccinated who get sick could be a lot sicker, possibly hospitalised, possibly die.
