Post Covid Still testing Positive
DefaultName replied to bankei's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
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. -
If you don't want to get vaccinated, don't get vaccinated. But you can't also expect to mix with those who are.

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.

New Measures Might Be Implemented After CCSA Meeting On Friday
DefaultName replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
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. -
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.

Hospitals around the country told to prepare for surge in cases
DefaultName replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Just have the asymptomatic self-isolate at home, hospitals can cope with those actually sick. -
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.

Sawatdee Pee Mai! Traffic woes as Thais return to Bangkok
DefaultName replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I still can't understand why, with all the restrictions in place, they still allow people to drive all over Thailand. -
As a condo dweller, I can't charge one. So, no.

2 and 3.

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.

Several factors make Thais vulnerable to Omicron variant infection
DefaultName replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thai's also like to live and sleep in very close groups. That has to be a factor. -

Screws found in 2 of my tyres. Should I replace all 4?
DefaultName replied to davidst01's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
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.
