    Is there any place around here that has decent beach waters?

     

    Calm would be a better description than decent. At this time of year all the beaches are going to have waves, check the tide charts to find out when they will be lower. Often in the earlier part of the day. By the way my kids at 3 had no trouble playing just into the water with waves, in fact they loved it..

    From what I understood, schools could apply to the ministry of education for a budget of 50,000 baht per month to pay for a foreigner teacher. 

    Is this still currently the case? 

    What is the latest info on this?

    Urban myth. There is no such budget at all. I would like to know where you heard it, as I have been here 30+ years working in education and have never heard of it.

    I think they did renovate the domestic section at DM around 2017.

    And yeah, comparing swampy with DM is like comparing potatoes with cheese crackers.

    The domestic airport was closed years ago, and now all domestic go from Terminal 2.  

     

    The two can be compared. DM has a soul and Swampy does not. Just a sterile cement bunker full of duty free shops, most of which are now currently closed.

    Lmao. More fool you for coming to a country which is ruled by coup leaders who could not organise a chimpanzee's tea party. This country is in the hands of the most incompetent people who are making it up as they go along. Get back on the next plane out to a country that is worth visiting & treats people as adults not children.

    Can you even get up and walk with that two ton chip on your shoulders? Nice rant out of left field.

    Judging by your attitude, sounds like Karma.

    Wow, you will never make it here. I give you 3 months here max. What a horrible thing to say. Karma, you are the one who should be thinking about it.

    Maybe I have lost sight in the color maps so excuse a dumb question.

    Yesterday checked in at a hotel in Pattaya (no ASQ/ASH).

    I had to show my vaccionation status which surprised me somewhat.

    Hotel tells me only vaccinated guests.

    SHA+ hotels require all guests including joiners to be vaccinated. At least that is how it was in Phuket.

     

    He was checked at a non ASQ/ASH hotel. This is why he is surprised and posting.

    I also take a metal tiffin (see photo) to the night market to buy my curries. Every single time, they look at me like I'm completely crazy.

    A "pinto" in Thai. But not used to take to the market in Asia. It would be packed at home.. Rice in the big pot, then veg, soup, and curries individually in the others. A unique style I must say.  One of a kind.

    Dr Anutin is selling pfizer to his friends at his rancho at khao yai for 25k. They have grassed him to a scottish investigative journalist

    You lost credibility when you posted Dr. Anutin. He is an engineer not a doctor, although he likes to dress up as one.

    My wife tells me today there is a lot of Covid in the town of Chiang Rai, places like HomePro and Makro are having problems, so my going to Immigration and DLT tomorrow is worrying despite being vaccinated and having new good quality masks in a dazzling array of colours.

     

    I think you best not listen to your wife, or stop listening to village gossip. This comment is just silly.

    Best estimate for education re-start is November.

    This refers to schools, such as pratom and mattayom but it seems the universities are up in the air.. Perhaps November for some of the universities that are still on the Thai schedule, but there have been no provisions to inoculate the students as of today. The universities that are on the western calendar seem to be shooting for Jan.  Chula I know is on the western schedule. Most have had no in class learning since March.
