On this subject, is there any companies that make supply and erect big sheds in Thailand ? I'm now looking to lay a slab and get a shed approx 10x6m if possible. Does anyone know the cost of something like that ?? I would then do as Harry did and build a small office/bathroom with AC in one corner of it...

Does it  include oxygen masks?

Why, is the air pollution bad up there at the moment ?? 

40,000... It will be finished off a lot nicer at some point and an outside bathroom added below...

It suits us for camping out at our plot in Chaiyaphum...

The wood was recycled from another older house we had on the plot.

Well - because it spreads like wldfire - only some walk asymptomatic spreading it in their wake because they don't know they are sick....

The lucky one's survive, anyone with a weakened system probably will not.....

Take a look at this guy, youngish, tough, a super human specimen, good habits.....

Look at the before & after.....

In his case, he worked in health care....

Many others weren't so lucky and are no longer walking at all - because they came in contact with some that thinks just like you.....

 

Just looks like he couldn't get hold of his regular supply of steroids whilst in lock down !!

Btw asymptomatic people don't leave a trail of bodies in their wake... 

It's more a case of unlucky ones die and everyone else gets a cold and continues as always ..

The roads had been relatively safe up to this point... 

All good things must come to an end !! 

I'm just jealous, still no going out for me... We are on lock down in the marina in Singapore still, no end in sight..

What did you buy in Big C ??

check the legality of the resignation letters

Imagine if that was the former FFP !! The Election Commission would have done everything to have the party dissolved :)

Sounds like the ThaChana app is now mandatory !! Thought it was optional ????????

Depends on Laos entry conditions too.. If they impose 14 day quarantine, it's going to be a non starter !!

This is Thailand were even expats don't like to pay  for decent quality tools.

I'm like you, bought all my cordless tools over from U.K, little by little in checked luggage (batteries in carry on).

My wife is under strict instructions not to lend them to anyone, I don't care who or why ????

I have a couple Maktec tools that she can lend to people who really need something done....

Yes, because a lockdown will definitely prevent mosquitoes from biting people. ????

Lockdowns don't seem to prevent people getting Covid either judging by UK results !! 

If just for the occasional DIY job, then one of the previously linked ones will do.

However, if he is a "tradesman" then something more durable and long lasting would be more economical in the long run.

You really do get what you pay for with power tools...

Just because you stay onboard in port doesn't mean you don't come into contact with shore reps, vendors or dock workers etc...

Exactly.. I've been onboard for 4 months now, although we have had no contractors onboard, the chef goes out and shops for provision. So there is always a chance that we could be exposed.. Having said that, I believe it's all over hyped and overkill...

There's a Dengue vaccine that costs 3000baht at my local hospital. While I had Dengue  I asked the doctor if I should have it in future and he told me it doesn't work. I respected his honesty.

Apparently only for people between certain age brackets and only if you have already had Dengue !!

In other words, as your doc said, it don't work...

If they passed a COVID 19 saliva test then why are they in quarantine?

Because tests aren't reliable and quarantine is mandatory for all arrivals.

I registered with the UK government and they sent emails stating flights, prices and how many seats were left!

A few airlines still flying, see attachment. 

Oman Air suspended all operations and I haven't seen any reports that they resumed flying yet !!
