There are 2 recommendations for Jomtien Air, I'll add another.  New install - replacing a seriously old unit that failed - a few months ago; a clean, fast job, works perfectly.

I use BPH, so I contacted them already, they got the department I saw last to call me.  When I said I needed my second jab, not my first, they couldn't do it.  Apparently, the government allocates doses precisely, so you have to get your second where you got your first.  It means another trip to Bangkok for me.

Honesty was NOT the best policy! 

It says "first dose only", but on Thursdays you can book for a second dose of AZ?

I had my first in Bangkok, I'm trying to get my second locally and not have the risky trip up again.

so sad loss -due to thai driving standards - speed !!!!

Doubt if that's to blame this time, it happened in Cambodia.

If you book, don't spend any money that you can't get back, or afford to lose.

You may be fine, but personally I wouldn't chance it.

My wife has emergency access to my card, but not regular.  I can't trust her with money; have money, spend money, next week will look after itself is the attitude.  I keep telling her that when it's gone, it's gone (not strictly true, but......  ????).

I've started paying spending money (she doesn't work) into her bank account monthly instead of putting it in her hand, and pushing her to leave something in there each month.  I'm hoping that actually having some money and seeing it grow may help.  Not counting on it though.  ????

Not 90, but I was 8 days late on my last one (forgot).  When he asked me why I was late, I said "Covid" and coughed into my hand.  He couldn't get me out of there fast enough.  ????

My take is that only vaccines will get us through this.  Every country that's coming out the other side has a high percentage of the population vaccinated.

The government needs to get out of the way of private hospitals buying vaccines - if they can find them now.

The government needs to stop re-inventing the wheel; if something - vaccines, drugs, etc. - has been tested and approved in the more advanced countries, accept that, don't waste time re-doing the research.

And for any God's sake, if you don't have the expertise to design a website that works - and first time at that - employ someone who does.  These continual fails and new sites look amateurish and do not inspire confidence.

It may be just me, but professional golfers in the Olympics doesn't seem right.  I know that a lot of "amateurs" will make money from it, but these are career professionals.  They couldn't play in a local competition as an amateur, but they can go to the Olympics?

........ an issue with the concept of continual flotation ............

Love that phrase.  ????

When this batch of Sandboxers get home and start talking, I foresee a lot of cancellations.

Just stick a cheap plastic cup or saucer in between.

If this small number of customers can generate 1 billion in a month, it makes me wonder just how much is generated in Pattaya in a normal high season.  Or even low season for that matter.  Staggering numbers really.

Does a brown paper bag work?  There have definitely been occasions in Farrangland when one would have been useful.

Hm interesting, seems like in 2013 the class for trikes was changed to be in A and a few countries will allow a holding of a B license after having it for at least 3 years to ride trikes so they add a limited A to the drivers license. The DLT probably ignores the restrictions column. So what they actually should have given you is a Thai TukTuk drivers license ????

If we Brits don't understand our own licences, how do we expect the Thais to?

It might also be more professional if they responded to messages. I sent two questioning if there was a technical problem and they were ignored. I was just about to raise it as a topic and then found this thread. My problem mirrors others. Very erratic delivery, if at all, and I like others have received nothing at all, one delivery a day instead of two or two newsletters the same. Today, nothing at 17.06 Thai time.

I have to agree.  On a user forum, we put up with a lot.  On a professional, money-making forum, we expect professional behaviour.

That was done before but was removed as it defeated purpose of the email ,why sign up for it when its there to click etc.

 

 

 

I was wondering why that was important, then I thought of advertising revenue.  Ah well, money wins again.  ????

Sorry, but if they were certain he was dead - and face down in the mud make that easy to see - then why risk lives.  Just wait until the tide comes in and use a boat to get the body.

Its been reported.

Got one now. 

If Asean Now is planning to be a resource across Asia, then need this sort of thing to not happen.  Like many, I've been a user for years and won't go away for a minor issue, but new users may well consider it unprofessional and leave.

A suggestion would be to put the Newsletter in a set place on the forum and give us a permanent link.  That way if it doesn't turn up, we can go and get it.

No newsletters again today.
