You can book on-line in advance for an extra 10 baht to ensure you get on the one you want.

That's good to know. Thanks.

Has anybody taken the Pink Line to Immigration at the Government Complex? I've taken it a couple of times past there and there appears to be a walkway from the station. But from the station to building B would be a good trek. I also read that there would be shuttle busses. Any first hand knowledge?

I knew a couple of guys working on the Seacrest. I was living in Songkhla at the time and it was bad. Of course, the majority of the guys on the ship were Thai and it was very sad to see the families gathering in the Amarit yard everyday hoping to hear some news of their loved ones. 

The input to the amplifier would be RCA plugs. Thanks freeworld and impulse for your suggestions. Exactly what I was looking for. 

I’m looking for a Bluetooth receiver so I can play iTunes through my old Marantz stereo system. I’ve done a little research and the price range for these units is quite broad. Any recommendations? I live in Bangkok and would prefer to buy locally rather than order from abroad.

Thanks for that TJ. I'll watch the Super Bowl live but this would be a good link to have next year. During the regular season can you watch the replay of any game?

This season seems totally unpredictable. Are the Eagles really that good? I just watched the Bengals - one of last year's super bowl teams -- get demolished by the Browns. The Packers/Rodgers are going nowhere. Bucs/Brady? Looks like he should have not 'unretired'. The Rams? The Chiefs? No single team seems to have the inside track. Guess I would pick the Bills to win it all at this point, but things can change quickly.

Saw some of it on TV last night. Amazing how calm she was under pressure. Congratulations!

If it’s live music you’re looking for many places are open now in Bangkok, including Saxophone, Speaker Box, Green Room and others.

I am grateful to yourself and orchis for this info.

When was Hua Lamphong originally due to close.?

When is it currently due to  close.?

Many thanks. 

Originally due to close in late December 2021. But there was a lot of pushback from the public about closing the Hua Lampong station. The government has been quiet about it since then. I have not seen or read anything about when they intend to shut down Hua Lampong for good.

I am sure you are unaware but the rink at Central World has been open since November of last year.  The GF's daughter has skated on it now twice while using the penguin support as she skates, or learns to.

Sorry, should have read your post more carefully as you did mention Central World. I was thinking of the rink at Central Rama 9 where they played hockey. That's where Johnny Oduya played when he was training during the NHL off-season a few years ago (as referenced by the OP). They had a full size hockey rink there; the one at Central World is a bit small for hockey, but a good place for kids to learn to skate, for sure.

I have observed some bad skating being done at the rink in Central world.....

Not something you have to worry about anymore as that rink has been closed since the beginning of the pandemic and it appears now to be permanent. Hockey has apparently moved out to MegaBagna. https://www.bangkokicehockey.com/

still running from Hua Lampong (station remains active) but you can also board at Bang Sue, the new central station.

Trains out of Hua Lampong can be boarded at Bang Sue but be careful! It's the old, original station -- called Bang Sue Junction -- not the new Grand Central. They are several hundred meters apart. If not familiar with the area I suggest the OP board at Hua Lampong.

The plan is for all interprovincial trains to leave from Bang Sue Grand Central in the future.  

What time is kickoff in Bangkok? It looks like 06:30am Monday, is that right?

Betting line says Rams up by 4+. They are playing at home, so that's an advantage. 

It's the Year of the Tiger now. I wouldn't bet against the Bengals in the SB 555!

Don't know how the next round can possibly surpass the last two days, but look forward to next week's games!

Can’t see any of the home teams losing. SF going into GB in winter? No way. Buffalo at KC is kind of intriguing tho...

Well, I'm 0-2. That's why I don't bet on football lol. Great games, tho.

Even though my Bears didn’t make it, I love watching the playoffs. Congrats to both Cincy and Buffalo. Looking forward to Sunday’s games.

As for the 2nd part of your question, when I went last month I got there at about 07:50 and was out by 09:00. They start processing at 08:30. 

The Red Line stop at Lak Si would be physically closest to MTT, but depending on where you live, it may be more convenient to take the Green Line to Wat Phra Sri Mahathat which is not too much farther away. Certainly if you live on Sukhumvit or Phaholyothin it's easier to take the Green Line rather than transfer via MRT Blue Line to Bang Sue Grand Station to get the Red Line. (Although the Red Line is free these days, so there's that.)

I somehow missed that announcement. Interesting, it was made a few weeks before my first jab. 

I also got a text from P2 moving my 2nd AZ jab from Sep 29th to Sep 10th. Does anyone know the reasoning behind changing the dates?
