  1. Test & Go. Or Test & Fail the test, locked up. You take your chances.
  2. I'm in country, post-Vaccine (x 3) post-Covid, and will avoid any official test points because I doubt if they would consider me safe and I do not want hospital again.
  3. I'm trying to get a claim through them at the moment, they aren't being helpful. I'll see if my Agent can help on Monday.
  4. If you don't want to get vaccinated, don't get vaccinated. But you can't also expect to mix with those who are.
  5. She got hospitel, basically 3 women in a 4 bed hotel room, no nurses, they had to do their own tests and Line in the results many times a day. Looked nice & comfortable. I was put in a 30 bed hospital room, no air con, no privacy, almost all Thai, not even lockers for your stuff. I and another who went at the same time just kept saying no, politely. After a couple of hours, they found us a 2 bed room which was bad, but much better. I think it was down to him being South African; they were p00ing themselves over Omicron being from SA. That it isn't and that he hadn't left Thailand in 5 years didn't matter at all. Got me a room anyway. ???? I was mainly over the Covid before I went in, but something showed on my lungs, so, injections and pills, and tests, tests, tests. 5 days in and I got home to self-isolate for 6 days with a bunch of pills (steroids) to take. Freedom Day Saturday, but I feel fine now. Better actually, I've been having knee problems for a while which the steroids seem to have sorted - for now anyway.
  6. One thing for sure; if they leave it a month, there is no way that they can isolate asymptomatic cases. There just isn't the capacity, so self-isolating at home has to be the way to go.
  7. Wife was minor, but you know Thais and how they like to "go doctor". I was worse, got over the Covid fast, but something settled in my lungs, so I did need hospital for a few days. 5 days in, I got home to self-isolate for 6 days with 50 (fifty!) pills a day to take. Ends Saturday. Not planning to go far, but there's a legal bar/restaurant under my condo, that'll do for now.
  8. Just have the asymptomatic self-isolate at home, hospitals can cope with those actually sick.
  9. Failed a home test, wife insisted on hospital test (Banglamung). She got hospitel, I had something show on x-ray, so hospital, not a nice place. Never saw hide nor hair of a doctor, managed to speak on intercom after 5 days and convinced him that I could isolate and take pills at home, freeing the bed for someone who needed it. And here I am, self-isolation and pills stop Saturday. Not risking going back.
  10. Unfortunately, the final decision is not the mayor's to make. I won't be doing the official checks at the checkpoints they've set up, I'm just out of hospital (not hospitel) and apparently could test positive for a few weeks. NOT being dragged back, wasn't a nice place to spend time in.
  11. I still can't understand why, with all the restrictions in place, they still allow people to drive all over Thailand.
  12. As a condo dweller, I can't charge one. So, no.
  13. Insurance is always a gamble, usually they win, that's why they sell it. Sometimes we win, that's why we buy it. Shut up and pay out like you promised.
  14. I'm in hospital quarantine, they told me that I cannot isolate at home "is law". True, dunno. As it happens, I've developed some symptoms, so I'm probably better off here with the drugs, but I had no choice unless I wanted to go full-on-Israeli.
  15. Thai's also like to live and sleep in very close groups. That has to be a factor.
  16. A bit late for me; I started 10 days in hospital quarantine yesterday. ????
  17. I would keep the tyres on one axle the same model and age. If the other axle has a different brand and age, I don't see an issue.
