The price in USD he stated indicates that is correct. So about 1.3 million baht a rai. That sounds very expensive if its in a rural area.

Note the word " arrivals", Not tourists. Presumably do not want to admit the number who are not tourists and wanted to get back as soon as easier quarantine requirements were made. Guess what may happen to the numbers when they have returned and its then mainly tourists.

My cost in Rutnin for the one eye cataract and epiretinal surgery one year ago was approx 189,000. Baht. They provided me with a complete breakdown of costs after the surgery. So in theory they should be able to give some guidance. FYI Medication for Surgery 42k Medical Supplies 21k Medical SENSAR 13k Operating Room equipment 24k Operating Theatre 10k Nursing daycare and service charges 1.5k Physician Procedures 69k Anesthetist 8.5k Dr Roy did both together, it took nearly 2 hours as a daypatient. The presurgery tests are extra. I suggest that you are careful picking somewhere to do the epiretinal surgery. Its not just as simple as cataract removal and lens replacement. Best get somebody experienced at doing it.

You can buy a house in your name, but cannot own the land. There are foreigners who do so, and lease the land with a formally registered lease. Depends on age, how long you think of staying, what your future plans are, etc. If you are new to Thailand and not lived yet here for long, then i fully agree with others who are suggesting that you rent somewhere first and get to know places and areas.

I paid cash. Not used credit card. There is likely to be a surcharge. Ring a few places to check.

For price you go to the thailand gold traders association website. If i remember correctly it has historical data. There are plenty of other sites for gold price history, but you need to look for one that gives you in thai baht accurately. Check a few dates over the last few years to be confident. I do not recall having to pay any tax ontop of the price when buying or selling in one of the big and reliable companies in bangkok chinatown.

Maybe floating markets will become more of a necessity in the not far off future. So many parts of the bankgok surrounds could well be under the water. Is that why they are building the new elevated section of rama 2 out of bangkok to the south. Its a vital link to the south and malaysia?

Maybe more likely wet. Buy your own boats now?

And how many are Thais? Maybe they will outnumber the Tourists. There must have been many waiting for the 14 day quarantine to end.

See below. Original shortened paper from birth has the old NHS number bottom left. I required a full version in 2014 and got the printed version with more detail. That does not specifically state the NHS number, But note the number 322 on the left that matches the number in the NHS, the MYZL is presumably a code for location. I understand what Blackcab says thanks. There is clearly no reference to NI number on the birth certificate.

I suppose we should be grateful that the autocracy did not mention the other major sin. No sex ; People are in closer contact than any of the other three activities Oops, should I delete this? Before some clown sees it and adds more bright ideas how to dim everybody's life.

If they were born in uk, then there should have been numbers allocated.chrck birth certificate. If its NHS number you need to get then you will need a new 10 digit no. To get that you will need to get registered with a GP. Because of covid, GPs are supposed to register people regardless of residence in uk. If its an NI number then check birth certificate. I dont know, but you can search online. Best telephone them to query with uk birth ertificate details

You must get onto the "NHS app". To do that you need your 10 digit NHS number. All the details will be in there, and you can download the certificate to print it. As far as i understand you do not need an original certificate. You can request an original certificate to be sent too your home address, if you have the time to wait. They say on their website how long you may have to wait for it. It was 1 week at first but because of the mad rush to get certificates in July it then went to 2 weeks, You need to check what it is now.

I have lactose intolerance and most yoghurts are no problem. The problem with yoghurts with breakfast cereals is that they make me gain weight. i find its better to use milk no lactose. Then i still get good calcium. I don't understand now having things like bacon / eggs at breakfast very much. In Uk it was nice now and again, I find the same here but use it as a lunch treat a couple of days a week. Oat based cereal is good for the digestive system and is being shown as reducing cholesterol, but do not add sugar. Cheerios original have claim for fame but get boring, good muesli with fruits and no added sugar is nice. Hahn mentioned earlier. I find good. Granola something to give variation. I ordered some Oatibix from abroad that I have at breakfast 3 to 4 times a week. Cannot find anywhere to buy here. I find it helps with the digestive system. Not too sure if Weetabix would do the same,

Try to register on the NHS app and put in your last address when you were registered with a GP. If I recall, You do not have to put your NHS number. Just your name and address. NHS I spoke to said that they could not find records, but that does not mean there is no record. When I went for my first vaccination at a pop up center. they found my name and had a reference under my last address from 26 years ago. I had not thought to put that in to the registration, because all my personal details are registered elsewhere now. When I put in my name and the old address from 26 years ago it worked and i got registered. Then I found my new national health number under the new system. When in UK I have registered with a new GP in my home town location. So I will be ok from now on using that. Try registration on the NHS app with your last address for a GP. Let us know how you get on.

Unfortunately they did not admit they had no boxes at present, as main office has confirmed. So i cannot say at present could be another month until i get one. The internet connected with 3BB appears to be good and i am using my current android box ok. True asked me why i was leaving. i told them that the old systems of satellite and cable are now superseded by tv boxes on which you put apps that can connect to whichever services you want. And they will need to change to a similar model if they want to keep customers. More will leave and change.

Hi rick Unfortunately, Now its going on the red list, Its worse because you will now have to go in hotel quarantine regardless.

The headline is dreadful. Glad I am already vaccinated, and not going to get anything potentially "squeezed" into me from a robotic arm.

I don't see why it should be a problem, however it is not so easy to get a good photo of the passport, because of light reflection. You simply need to find a good surface where you can focus light onto the passport so that the reflections do not blur it. With the COE i should think you will have no problem scanned or taking photos. FYI for the passport, some authorities do not accept scanned copies of a passport. I have had this happen when they demand a photograph. Note that in the UK the requirements for COE in June did not state to include the visa page from passport. Surely they need it? I included it with what I gave them for my COE.

I was going to say the same but there is no need for me to add comment. The first time it happens is always a challenge to figure out. I went through this problem a few times in the past and as you say that is the fix each time. Its an example of how useful the forum can be. Solved very quickly. Great response by all of you.

I have a swift 5 since jan 2020 which is similar a bit higher spec than the swift 3 . Screen size 15 inch. No problems, very good. Highly recommended. Note that it does not have a CD drive, but you don't really need one much now. The similar swift 5 model is upgraded now and more expensive than you need. The swift 3 is extremely lightweight like the 5. The SSD is a must, far faster. I recently identified a price about 23k, Quick search now. For SF314 price is around 24k Baht Do not get the cheaper 256 GB HDD. Look for the 512 SSD. There is an SF316 with larger screen but extra 6k baht. Probably not worth spending the extra money unless you need the bigger screen.

And we know one Thai who owns one of the very large construction companies. Work continued throughout most of the lockdowns without the appropriate measures that everybody else had to take. It is good to see that they recently introduced a lot more measures for the Construction sites and workers. However, much too late.

Nobody seems to point out the obvious issue from these figures and the lack of attending to Farangs and vulnerable ones too.. Half of the numbers are Myanmar. And they are likely to be principally migrant workers, and likely young. Its obvious that the average age is far lower than it should be if the most vulnerable are going to be vaccinated. So they care more about them than they do the rest of the foreigners. Perhaps they fear that they were spreading covid and wanted to give them Priority. BS. Most are going to be construction workers or other menial jobs, and they do not want to lose the cheap labor. That's probably a more realistic reason for the relatively very high number from Myanmar . Remember that its primarily money that counts, not people.
