TM30 24 hour after returning still?
Tropicalevo replied to clivebaxter's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Immigration staff are just as confused as we are. ???? -
More COVID cases in Surat Thani?
Tropicalevo replied to phetphet's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
Definitely, but we have no idea by how many. -
I have no mind about this one way or another but the article was commenting on the fact that the 'masses' followed the rules and the rich do not. The event was back in January. I thought that Chiang Mai (and most other places) had an alcohol ban back then. Difficult to remember exact dates because then moved to state 'SHA plus' restaurants could sell alcohol, then it was bars could obtain restaurant licences etc etc. I do agree with your Puritanical ‘anti-alcohol’ comment though. ???? cheers.

Things are opening up. I cannot say exactly what as my nightlife stops at 22.00 from choice. (First check out tomorrow is 06.00!) The other 3 questions Yes. Whenever. Yes. -
Government Signals Concern Over Infectious Waste Management
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I think that it is pretty much like that all over rural and semi rural Thailand. It certainly happens a lot here on Samui. -
More COVID cases in Surat Thani?
Tropicalevo replied to phetphet's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
From the limited information that we can see, the majority of these seem to be ATK tests. ie self testing and then registering with the hospital. I would think that these are mostly Thais claiming the free medicines and insurance. Most of the foreigners that I know, including myself, who have found to be positive have not bothered to report the result. (If I had reported it, I would have received 50,000 THB from the insurance company.) The only exception was a friend who was going to Australia. She needed a 'fit to fly' certificate and so had to register as positive. She was told not to go to the hospital and to quarantine at home (mild symptoms). Her husband collected the certificate for her. -
Our guests have been doing self quarantine in their rented villas since December. 10 days in the villa and sorted. Whilst in the villa, they have been allowed to walk the beaches etc - just have to avoid people.

Thai actress’s 2nd autopsy confirms 22 small wounds on her leg
Tropicalevo replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Money. She wants more money. 30 million baht is just not enough to live on. -
Yes, I know what the 'blurb' states, but..... .....when I try to pay, I either receive a message stating 'no stock' or 'the store does not deliver to your location'. You do not live on an island do you? It's a bit different to living on the mainland. What I am ordering weighs more than 24 kilos.

Thanks. I will have a look. Nothing on-line.

There used to be a thread for this but I could not find it. Is there still an agent on Samui who would help to expedite orders from IKEA? If so, please can I have contact details. I need to order a couple of sun parasols but cannot find any half decent ones in the local shops. Lazada is my last option. Not impressed with them lately. I have seen decent ones on the IKEA website.

Security man killed crossing the road - motorcyclist in hospital
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I am always concerned about the Thai habit of wearing black or dark clothes. I understand that they do not show the dirt like white ones do, but black/dark clothes attract mosquitoes, retain the heat and make it almost impossible to see people on the roads at night. "Wear something white at night". -
Who let the Siberian Huskies out? Cute dogs waiting for owner to show
Tropicalevo replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I have seen quite a few humans doing all of that, but screaming at the top of their voices instead of barking. -

Thai court awards compensation for dog which died during treatment
Tropicalevo replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
And now vets fees will have to increase so as to pay for insurance against claims. I have had to euthanise a number of dogs here and I would never sue a vet. They are caring people and they love animals. They charge very low prices and will try their hardest to do the right thing. A sad, vicious attack by these owners. -
Covid extensions after March 25?
Tropicalevo replied to JoseThailand's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
A friend went to Samui immigration today and was given a 'Covid' extension until May 2nd. Looks like it is up to the local office to make a decision. -
