You can register the via an application on your Smartphone.

Validity and package will be shown as 12 months. No issues.

I ordered True unlimited SIM from Lazada before. It cannot be registered from app. I need to walk to the True shop to register, get my photo taken, etc.

I've just had an email from MSN (they say) about closing older versions of email from today.

 

The font is something like Times NR and all the commas look OK (unlike a Nigerian scam)

 

A link is included whereby you can register to update.

 

It doesn't look pukka. Just a feeling...

 

Anyone had the same?

Does the email come from hidden email address like the one below?

"Mail service team <*** Email address is removed for privacy ***>"

If yes, it is a scam.

this opens the book on another load of questions,how do these private hospitals access the vaccs when govt cannot presently,i would have thought theyd confiscate it and use on the health workers not sanction it?why would the govt allow the rich to circumvent the process of govt vaccs.what of the costs and acceptance by authorities of such a process.?what if someone has an adverse reaction,whos responsible?its another mad corruption fuelled dash to the pay out,private hospitals -wow no moral compass what so ever.par for the course unfortunately.i find it hard to believe that this can pass muster when every other country so far says and acts as vaccination is a public right and the rich cant queue jump.we are living in a moral vaccuum if its allowed to pass,who do they source the vaccs from?pfizer astra are in full knowledge of this?i see the chinese are selling their vacc on open mkts but what do you expect from the buffet crew who gave us the virus,typical!theirs is 2nd rate anyway so i think if your gonna pay you will get a good one.this shows in the full light of day how corrupt the system is.

Letting rich jump queue to take Covid vaccine is not as bad as it sounds. They will become human guinea pig for hastily developed vaccine and the rest of the population will benefit from the early vaccinations results.

Thai Union Group CEO, Thirapong Chansiri said, however, that, as of Tuesday, 23,630 of the group’s 27,552 employees, or 85%percent, have been given PCR tests and only 69 of them, or 0.29%, tested positive.[/quote]

 

So if only 0.29% tested positive, then why 85% has been tested?

 

May be because they don't have a crystal ball to predict how many percent will be tested positive without testing 85% of all employees.

Is it true that all positive covid19 cases are required to stay in hospital until it passes?  If so, that is the first thing that needs to be changed.  As testing goes up, positive cases will go up as well.  It is a complete waste of time and resources to do this, no need to have asymptomatic cases and those who feel fine to be hospitalized, the hospitals will fill up very quickly.

Only treat those that need care and attention and the rest just need to quarantine until their infection passes.  Hoping the best for Thailand!

Not all the cases. All the Covid positive Burmese are kept in a quarantine facility (not field hospital).

ok thanks. I googled it a bit and seems to be an iphone only issue, messenger can't handle it when there are 2 sims and only one of them has internet

Messenger working fine including voice and video calls on my iPhone 12 with one physical sim from my home country and one eSim from AIS. Only AIS eSim has internet.

So covid19 positive migrant workers are not kept in hospitals? 

Probably because they are asymptomatic. If no cough, no fever, staying in quarantine center is enough.

Thanks all,

 

As it seems to be a restriction on our work laptops, (since using work wifi on my mobile worked) would any IT experts hazard a guess on what is exactly blocking me when I use my work laptop?

 

Many thanks all

Probably the corporate firewall blocking the sign up page as suspicious website.

I doubt illegal Burmese immigrants have work permit and social security

Illegals will not come to hospital to get treatment for the fear of being arrested.

Many Migrant worker camps and dormitories here in Bangkok as well as the rest of Thailand.  Seems they are being a little short sighted if they are only thinking about Samut Sakhon.  They need to start testing openly in all of Thailand and free.  However, where do you put a positive asymptomatic migrant worker who has no money to pay for the medical care above what the 30 baht scheme they can use will actually pay.

If they have work permit, they have social security. Social security will pay for the treatment.

My work permit expires January 2021 and my passport expires August 2021. Can I extend my work permit for 2 years as usual or will they only extend it to the passport expiry date? I don't plan to travel next year so was going to wait until June to renew my passport.

Yes, you will get 2 years extension of your work permit despite your passport expiring earlier.

The Thai authorities should not be surprised that Thai hookers slip back and forth without passing Thai border formalities because the Casino pays off immigration on both sides to let customers and staff pass through without formality.  A few years back a group of farangs was also able to pass through and come back without any passport checks. 

 

They make is sound like the hookers must be swimming across the river at some remote spot but this is blatantly not the case and we know that Thais can't swim anyway.

Water in the river between Mae Sai and Taichileik is only ankle deep this time of the year.

Well, I didn’t use the Thai version of the iPhone 12. Not even out for sale yet until Friday. 
 

I imported that iPhone 12 from China (mainly because of physical dual SIM). While the bands are almost identical to those of the Thai version. It lacks band n71, not sure if that could affect speeds!

 

Does iPhone 12 (China model) support 5G in dual SIM mode? iPhone 12 (Thai model) fall back to 4G if two SIMs are active. To get 5G, need to remove one of the SIM.

Then the local officials who know this illegal route is open have a lot to answer for.

Prayut who has thousands of soldiers at his disposal could easily have shut the door on this happening... but only sees students as a threat... well now you may just have found another one..

If 80+ have sneaked back in and looks like they have a high infection rate then it's about to get interesting in the north west.

It must be bad in that hotel for them to leave a very well paid job to come back here to nothing.

Even the countries like US cannot stop illegals crossing their natural borders during the Covid time. There is no way a third world country like Thailand can completely secure its border.

Wealthy Thais like to gamble as well, there are no casinos in Thailand. Tatchilek has casinos and women, do you think the women would go there if they had no clients?

Tachileik is flushed with drug money so plenty of local clients for those Thai ladies. After making the shipment across the border, local drug runners like to spend their money in Tachileik before going back to the hills to prepare for next.

Makes me wonder whether at least some of the punters are well to do, connected Thais also entering Myanmar and re-entering Thailand illegally. Otherwise why employ so many Thai women? (could be I'm just naive about the whole thing)

Wealthy Thais don't need to cross into Myanmar to enjoy the company of Thai women. They have more choice in Thailand.

She is Thai and came in on a bus so why do you say she entered illegally?Are not everybody entering Thailand quarantined?Why wasn't she quarantined?Sounds a bit suss and the authorities a just saying she entered illegally to divert the blame.

If she entered Thailand through the porous border without going through passport control, it will be illegal entry.

Ok lets cut the <deleted> nonsense here; 1,2 billion baht divided by an average of 40,000 baht per person for quarantine (as most were Thais it is probably  a lot less) means that at least 30,000 people went through. In the last 3 months that is at least 1,000 people arriving per day... Didn't happen! 

According to flightradar24 site, 72 international flights landed at Suvanabhumi Airport alone today.  Each plane carrying 50 passengers will easily meet and exceed 1000 people arrival per day.

Sorry, I don't get it.  Why are these guys allowed into Thailand without a 14 day quarantine? How many hours is someone allowed to spend in Thailand without going thru the standard procedures for foreigners arriving? 

They are truck drivers. Falls under the same rule as cargo flights. No 14 day quarantine required.

6) Carriers of necessary goods, subject to immediate return after completion.

All businesses has to pay credit card processing fee to the bank and all of them pass down the cost to the customer. Many merchants increased their prices to absorb the cost of the credit card fees but that’s the ‘hidden’ method of charging a fee. Those merchants ‘should’ then offer a ‘discount’ for people who pay by cash. Some are upfront about the fee and give the customer the option to pay in cash.
