I do my best to avoid doctors in Thailand. My personal experience is, that if they are unable to properly diagnose a disease, they will come up with a fantasy-diagnose, which requires at least 4 different medications of which one will be antibiotics, suggest you to do expensive blood tests, suggest you to do expensive scannings, prescribe you useless physical therapy or even advise you to get surgery for am imaginary disease as soon as possible. All this just to take as much of your money as possible. On top of all this, Thailands hospitals have a multi-level price list, in which poor foreign retirees will have to pay the highest price.

A public spanking of all corrupt politicians and officials, would help save Thailand much more than 75 billion baht.

I Agree. You could spread happiness to 400.000 poor Thai people, by giving them each 500 Baht!

Trust me. There are people frequenting bars in Thailand for other than the alcohol.

Note to self: Never bring money to a robbery.

As if they are in a position, where they can select to be picky!

Just wait a few years. If that will not be to late for you. ????????????

It is hardly a surprise, that the richest families in Thailand have some of their money placed overseas. I am more curious how many Thai-politicians are doing the same?

You can not create herd immunity against the highly contageous Delta strain. It is all about getting as many as possible vaccinated, in order for the disease to become more manageable. Coronavirus infections is something we will have to learn to live with, as they will continue to be with us in the future, but can and should then be treated just like the annual flu. The people who have refused to be vaccinated, will mainly be the ones, that will be seriously sick or die from Corona virus.

My guess is, that the price will go up. Can a domestic traveller from Bangkok to Phuket now prove to be Covid free with self-testing using the Thai FDA-approved Anitgen Test Kit, or is this solely an option for Phuket residents?? Do we no longer need to show proof of at least one night reservation in a Phuket hotel?

The ministers of Thailand never misses a good Photo op.

You forgot: "Now even more double pricing". We just want your money, so please spend it fast and leave as soon as possible.

They could consider to open schools for fully vaccinated children, if they can find any.

If they are not able to prevent flooding in the whole country, they will have to protect as much valueable assets as possible with the money, machinery and manpower they have. As usual that means prioritizing to protect Bangkok, which is always hard to swallow for the bangkok haters upcountry. But based on pure logic, it makes more sense to protect a mansion in Bangkok than to protect a shed upcountry, with the same money and efforts.

I would believe, that the old adress can still be used for 90 day report, unless other is written on the website. No two visits to immigration will be the same, but I have always had good experiences with the woman in counter 1.

So they will not be occupying hospital beds in Thailand!

The vaccines should go to places, where the infection rates are highest. Not to Nakhon Somwhere, where there are very few infections.

Why even hold back vaccinations until friday, when you can just hold back reporting the vaccination numbers? Just like it has often been happening with reporting of other Covid 19 numbers.

Bad Girls out, good Girls in!

As long as they keep demanding a Covid-test before entering Phuket, we will keep postponing our travel plans involving Phuket. We are twice vaccinated with AZ and will under no circumstrances do a Covid-test. Anyway AirAsia has cancelled our flights in mid october and are apparently not having any other flights from Bangkok to Phuket in october, just like they are apparently not flying to Krabi anymore.

Agree. Going early, means that you will have to do 90 day reposts 5 times in a year. I always try to time it, so it will be only 4 times per year for me.

Wow, not less than 68 cubic meters. That´s a lot of water. The rainy season comes to Thailand every <deleted> year, but they are never prepared. Why is it so hard for them to keep the pumps operational and clear rubbish and weed from the canals before the rainy season starts?

They should not even consider to let foreigners buy land in Thailand, unless they actually intend to live here most of the year.

Scanning a code to get directions is a bit modern for me, so I didn´t expect that the code would lead me to a map. Why not just show the map, instead of needing to scan an app to maybe see the map, if you have the right app installed in your phone? When trying to scan the "scan me icon", all I get is some advertising and a suggestion to install something from Google Play. Since I didn´t remember my password for Google play, I had to pass on that option.

Today I went to do my 90 day notice at Immigration in Samut Prakan, only to find that the Pak Nam office was closed. There was no information in english about why the office was closed, and when it would be open again. I could read, that there should be a temporary service center @Thipnimitra Market, but no adress or any directions how to get there. A few kind people outside tried to help me, by telling me that I had to go to Bang Pli and since I didn´t know where Bang Pli was, they suggested that I took a taxi there. But that would not be an option for me, as I had driven to immigration on my motorbike. Then they said that it was in Big C Bang Pli and showed me that location in my Google Maps. Away I went on the motorbike to Big C Bang Pli around 25 kms from Pak Nam, which due to heavy congestion took me 45 minutes. After walking around in the very large Big C Bang Pli for 30 minutes, without finding any immigration office or booth, I tried to enter Thipnimitra Market in Google, which showed me, that it was not exactly in Big C, but in a night market 500 meters away on the other side of Thepparak road. When I finally got there, the immigration office was closed for lunch, so I had to wait another 45 minutes, for them to open. There were probably 60-70 people waiting outside the office on 2nd floor, with absolutely no social distance taking place. I have lived at the exact same adress in Samut Prakan for more than 10 years, notifying immigration every 90 days (totally around 50 times) about where I live. So couldn´t we at least expect immigration to clearly inform us in english, when they are closing one office and opening a temporary office 25 kms away, and give visitors proper directions about how to get there??? Now being back home after a trip to immigration, which took me 4 hours longer than expected, I went to check their website, which by the way is not secure (must be that Damn Windows 95 they are running), which also have no information in english about that the Pak Nam immigration office is closed, but only mention that there is a temporary service center @Thipnimitra Market, without any further directions about how to get there. http://www.samutprakanimmigration.go.th/
