Right, what they worried is a positive result and imagine if you are a foreigner.. Hell no..

This is the truth. Test positive then carted off to a hospital for 14 days at 30,000THB a night. 

I left last week and they asked for PCR test at check in. 
 

Flying to Greenland via Dubai and Copenhagen. 

You don't need the True HDD, you can use any HDD it just needs to be in a case that supports e-sata and sata cables as thats what comes from the True box. 
 

I have had this set up for years, it works somewhat OK, but I have lost all my recordings several times. 
 

You need the following. 
1. HDD in a case that supports e-sata. 
2. PVR subscription with True. 
3. USB thumb drive for pausing live TV. Don't know why you need the USB drive for pausing but you do. 
 

TBH its not worth it, its very out dated compared to Sky, Virgin etc.

332 m2 roof

Thats a big roof. Do you live in a huge mansion? 

For those living in the Saraburi area Kasemrad hospital are doing walk ins for Moderna vaccine Monday to Friday. 

If all these tourists brought in Omicron then all these tourists have the $50,000 insurance so shouldn't that have the hospitals making a lot of money that goes back in to the government? 

It doesn't matter how good a rider you are. You can be Valentino Rossi but you can bet your gonna come off at some point wether it be your fault or a drunk driver knocks you off. I still have a 9" plate in my right femur from 20 years ago in Pattaya. I have a mate who was knocked off by a drunk driver not only once but twice and 2nd time broke his collar bone. 

I was sat at a red light and some clown rear ended me and knocked my scooter out from under me and it fell on the floor. I went to his window to say <deleted> and all he said was sorry na. ????
 

Its all fine and dandy riding bikes around here until it goes wrong. So after my experience and close friends experience just stick to scooters for quick trips to 7/11 etc.

I plan to go to countries that either don’t have Omicron yet, or where it has passed.

 

i am in Pattaya now, and everyone has it, I can’t go anywhere safe.

My mate lives in Pattaya and he doesn't have it. 
 

How do you plan to return here as its a right farce now? Sandbox or what? 

Western kitchen type and Western kitchen height. 

What delay? Ive just spent 6 days in Pattaya and the City was booming. Loads of bars were open and many of them jam packed full. 

Going here in the next few days for a 14 day extension on my visa exempt. 
 

5 mins from my house. Nice ????

To mee there is another important point, thats about delievery times.

Lazada is realy slowing down and allow their courier companies to send the orders around from hub to hub to hub to............ Now normal delievery times to my address is around 1 week for national orders and around 3 week for orders from China.

 

The other day I see an express shopee delievery car, maybe shopee is going to do something about the delievery problem ?

Ive noticed this too. It shows the tracking on the map and the delivery truck is going here, there and everywhere instead of direct to me. 

I had this problem years ago with Nationwide. I got so sick of it I called them and told them if they do it again I'll transfer all my money to another account. It fell up on deaf ears and it happened again so I transferred all my money out of Nationwide and put it in Halifax. Sent them an online message through their system and got some reply from a clerk saying my complained would go higher up the chain of command. Then some manager messaged me apologising and all this would be fine on the next transaction. So on the next transaction it, yes you guessed it, it got declined. I called them up and went nuts with them. However I was talking to an Indian call centre and the clown on the other end could hardly speak English so at this point my blood was boiling and ready to behead someone. Put the phone down and sent another online message ranting on about the call centre staff cant speak English and Nationwide is an English building society and I expect to speak to English people when I call. Checked my messages a day later and behold there was a message saying that they have confirmed my credit card had been cancelled as requested and a new card will be sent out. <deleted>! The thick Indian call centre clown had cancelled my card as they couldn't even understand what I was talking about. So back on the online messaging with another complaint and I got a reply saying they would credit my account with £50 as a good will gesture for the inconvenience. 
 

These days I don't seem to have this problem anymore as transactions need verifying with the Nationwide app and they work fine now. 
 

You could try Nationwide or open a Starling bank account as you already have Wise. Starling is similar to Wise and very good for overseas transactions. 

Just order it via Line from BPH.

What parts of the dog should you grab or strike in order to convince it to let go?

Why would you strike a dog? Thats not teaching it to behave, thats teaching it to be scared of you. 
 

Excersize and discipline is the correct way to control a dog. 

Last week I done 1 day Q and the hotel used Phayathai 1 hospital for my PCR test. 
 

Result all in English, no Thai at all.

You order it via Line. 
 

Just register on Line with BPH and you pay upfront and then they tell you when to come in for it.
