How long's a piece of string - it depends on the bar, the beer and the company. (I've paid significantly more than Bht150 for a pint in Thailand) .

When I travelled up to Bangkok from Hat Yai last month an email to Thai Smile received a response confirming all I needed as a vaccination certificate. [email protected] Takes a day or so for them to respond, but they do reply.

This is what Thai Smile say, proof of vaccination is enough.

I've ordered from Passion Delivery, and Sloanes which is one of the stores on the Passion site. I've been generally impressed, particularly as they're delivering to Hat Yai. Goods arrive next day and they're packed well in a cooler box with dry ice, so everything is still frozen on arrival. The Bht500 delivery charge whilst not cheap is understandable.

Geologist - exploration and mining; gold, diamonds and base metals. Worked for different companies, different countries. Now semi-retired and just do a few months consultancy work each year on projects that I like. It's been good fun, which is why I'll probably keep my hand in for as long as people need me.

That's probably the best idea, strange as it may seem.

Nor have I. I best leave well alone, I can only see pain: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

The now sacked Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives Thammanat Prompao. You can understand the opposition to this rezoning and industrial estate "smart" city, it will mean their little fishing village will be obliterated along with their way of life.

No one's listening to the people of Chana, there's far too much money involved. If you want to understand what it's all about then the CNA report below explains it.

They say the border with Malaysia is going to open on December 16th. But there is no chance it will be open as normal. No doubt there will be vaccination and test requirements to enter Malaysia, then the same coming back, plus Thai Pass and health insurance.

He does so love to make himself hostage to fortune. Omicron is under control until it isn't, there'll be no floods in Bangkok until there are.

Singapore works for me. I moved my finances from Lloyds Jersey to HSBC Singapore twenty years ago, I've been largely happy with HSBC.

Not sure why anyone will come unless returning home/family or for business. Tourists? Many hotels are closed and/or up for sale, ditto shops and restaurants. The pubs aren't allowed to open nor the karaoke lounges.

I don't think anyone is lying, however, the totals don't include ATK numbers only PCR results. Testing is not proactive, unless there's a large cluster which forces them to do large scale local testing. Looking at today's numbers you can see searching found 155 cases, whilst 3,811 cases were walk-ins. The 1,157 test kit results aren't included in the total of 4,000. So I trust the trends but consider the numbers indicative only.
