Thanks guys …

Does anyone know if Pregabalin and amitriptyline are available 1. In Thailand 2. Over the counter or by prescription only?
In U.K. I have them prescribed ..
 

Ta..  

Low pay and easy million plus loans at high interest..what could possibly go wrong?

in the UK Johnson has decided to take the gamble, assume future variations are not significantly worse than omicron and return thee country to pre covid times.

If he is right then its over, if he is not the UK will be the first to suffer as any significant new variation takes hold.. watch this space..

we are travelling back to Thailand in July for an extended holiday with two kids under 13, I had made an assumption that the usual travel insurance bought in the uk would suffice, they all claim they provide covid cover, my wife who accesses some uk thai facebook groups is reporting problems  some people have using the Thailand pass portal as its rejecting some well know UK insurance policies(post office & AA), is this a common problem or I am i being misled?

U.K. now in national tier 5 lockdown, until mid Feb, no one is flying out of U.K unless under exceptional reason laws..

Has anyone had personal contact with Thai airways other than automated emails? 
if so how ?

I have two sets of cancelled flights from LHR to BKK and am getting zero response from Thai.

Ta..
 

I received an email this morning notifying me that my 3rd July booking London to Bangkok has Been cancelled, my wife’s saying there are reports of cancellations well into July. No offer of alternative flights, just advised to contact agent or Thai customer services. 
I had July internal flights cancelled a couple of weeks ago and the best response I,ve had from Thai Is that refunds will take up to six months.

A report is due every time you spend the night somewhere different than your registered address with Marriage Extension in Mukdahan, but can do it online - easy as pie

Thanks for the reply, I,m just visiting on a tourist visa, do you have the link to the online form? 

Sounds like a lot of Thai nonsense, I,m staying at our Thai home in Khemmerat for three weeks, is Ubon or Mukdahan where I will waste half a day on this? 

My wife is reading Facebook posts saying farang visiting and staying with family in Thailand have to register otherwise a fine Is issued? 

So we go to our Thai home next week for a month. For the past 10 years this has never been an issue, if it’s now required, what’s the simplest way of doing it?

OP as some have posted, you are in position of having readily available non o that would suit your needs. Forget convoluted plans re border entry points etc suggested. 3 visits a year (most likely because still working home country). Coming for quality time to visit wife and lids. Using TV and VE? What the!

Thanks for the reply, we do live and work in UK and are fortunate enough to be able to travel during school breaks, the wife and kids are also based in UK, I have always enjoyed the simplicity of tourist visas and always enter via main airports the rest of the family have both Brit and Thai passports.

I,ve come across reports in other forums where claims are made that Thai immigration are saying people have 'too many' Thai visas in their passport, be it 30 day or 60 day, is this new or common, if so what is too many?

I am married with two Thai/English kids and visit two or three times a year, should I be worried?

My thai wife has an indefinite leave visa in a previous passport and we have regularly travelled in and out of the UK with her carrying the old passport with the visa and her new passport.

She has come across reports/rumours of this no longer being valid, I have had contradictory advice from UK officials and it seems that the final view was 'its down to imigration control' on the day we travel.

Has anybody else experienced problems or aware of any changes for Thais?

Sounds like another opportunity to supplement incomes, the penalty threat increases the powers of officers to enforce their will.

The issue for Thiland is Broader than just politics, the inherent corruption and lack of accountability across all sections of society and institutions makes for a lot of trouble one way or another in the years to come. In many respects Thailand is far worse off as a society (Taksin as much to blame as anyone) than it was 20 yrs ago.

It's so dysfunctional it's hard to see a realistic way forward.

Anyone else notice the anti theft device on front wheel?

On a couple of occasions over the years i,ve had taxi drivers fail to reset the meter after the previous fare, but that's out of thousands of taxi journeys..

As its Thailand nothing is ever quite what it seems but do these proposed regs apply to a Hubsan X4 which is more of a toy?

Bored me silly, bad TV, just drivel..

Even a cursory glance at the tea leaves makes it clear the country is a long way from being in a position to hold legitamate elections. Far too many factors at play beyond the control of even the military.

Just great.

Another 6 months of conspiracy theories about how these two are innocent.

Spare a thought for the parents of the victims who probally like nothing more than the whole thing to be over and done with.

The British police have had ample time to at least make some statement on their findings and how long does the defence need to get their act together.

The whole episode is a shambles for both the accused and the victims and their families.

The difference is that the British Police reserve their comments/evidence for the courts. They are not in the business of playing to the media.

The role of a British Coroner in these matters should not be underestimated, a verdict of unlawful killing is almost certain, that then puts the onus on British police to formally investigate and report, the met has its flaws but they will not be compromised by keystone cops.

Yet again Thai logic defies reason. Its the police who do the extortion... <deleted>..
