Bangkok Phuket Hospital, Phuket Town, has an excellent dental department. Had an implant done there, top notch.

+1. And Dental Clinic at Mission hospital.

Only to name some very good 5☆ hotels.....Villa Royal by MomTri...Trisara...Marriott Maikhao. In Patong i would choose Le Meridien.

Time to wake up that topic.

Was some days ago at wine connection to try that escargots and some new noodle dish. Food quality and taste has improved.

Anyway on way out checked the wine section and found a Cote du Rhone 2019 Gabriel Meffre. Thought about your Cote du Rhone advise Xylo last year.

Bought a bottle and really enjoyed it. Not sure it was a bargain at 750 baht but for me it was worth every sadang.

Sure the rain is mostly good for the nature and every year i enjoy the rainy season.

But now it's enough. I miss the sunshine and dry season!!! Enough rain till june!!!

MG doing it. Done it for friend some weeks ago. 50% cash 50% finance for 3 years.

Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) said it expects over 14,000 local and foreign tourists to attend the event across the weekend with a projected income generation of over B17 million. Of that total the TAT estimates around B7.5mn will go to over 8,000 local business owners....lol 8000 local business will profit from 40 stalls!

Sure much more then in Karon.....have a look at xylos reports at Patong the wake.

Suppose my question is what are the renewal rules. I knew I was expired but thought I would be given a 'grace' time ?

The DLT has asked for cooperation from the Royal Thai Police to suspend the charging for all holders of licenses which expired from April 10 to Sept 30 this year. The licenses are considered valid. Drivers can use them as usual,” the officer said.

“At this stage, the deadline is only Sept 30, but if the DLT issues an order to extend the period suspending services, the deadline will be extended for sure. Do not worry about the license during this time. No police will check your license for sure,” he added.

So grace periode is over since october that's why the BiB in action again.

Happy times with no cops on the road for many month are over LiK. Like i said before since 4-5 weeks they also fine in patong alot.

I think it will become a requirement to travel.

Yup stevenl i think so too.

RKI in germany puplished for 2020:

Group of under 20 year age which are more then 15 million children had only 11 fatalities and 68 in icu. 

For me it doesn't make sense to vaccinate them. Vaccinate risk groups and this one who want it this make sense.

Yup they back since the sandbox opened. Saw them many times. Same guys like before covid. They came out of their holes like tuktuk taxi minibus tattoo and tour scammers. Only the roguest crooks survived covid here and are still here. Watch your back sandboxlers!
