I don't know - Trainline says its for a specific train - also I plan to use Trainsplit they are cheaper even with their "flexible" ticket (which does have some restrictions)

Not quite sure where to post this Q and indeed if it is liable to get a useful answer. I am travelling to Manchester airport with my Thai partner and I wonder if anyone has experience of immigration process times there - I want to make an advance train booking to our final destination and am wondering how long to leave after arrival. Normally I would allow 3 hours (we arrive at 12.00 midday) Murphy's Law shows trains up to 2.30pm and then nothing till just after 4pm In the past we have used Heathrow and it can take hours to get through. Thanks

I wasn't aware that the insurance is still included last I heard stopped DEC 21. However if it is still active then mine (booked before Dec 21 was accepted for my Thai Pass BUT you have to get a certificate in your name from the insurance company in my case AIG - this was the email I used to cask for the policy - [email protected]

A joined up country - I fly to Manchester then to my residence in Scotland - is there a border check? Not likely I guess and by the way anyone from Scotland have problems with getting a certificate that shows all three vaccinations??

Slightly off topic but many mention the Thai app - 1. can you have the info for two people on the same phone. 2 Do you have to be connected to the internet to show the info or is it downloaded to the phone? sorry if they are silly questions but I really know nothing about the Thai app.

Thanks for the input everybody i agree there would appear to be no downside but if you read the back inside cover it says "Any correction of the certificate, or erased mark or failure to complete any part of it may render it invalid". So if you sign and you shouldn't have or if you don't sign it and you should have you could be stuffed either way. Excuse my cynicism about all bureaucratic rules.

So when you go abroad you take the Thai certificates as well? We were only planning on the yellow book - thanks for the input

You refer to this link in several posts and I have used it in the past but now it seems not to show information about Thai wiring If you are aware of it fine if not then I'm just letting you know. http://www.crossy.co.uk/wiring/

Today my Thai gf got her yellow vaccination book. On the first double page it shows her name, DOB, nationality and passport number - after the passport number the book says "whose signature follows" - she was not told when she collected the book that she needed to sign the book in the "whose signature follows" space. Can anyone who has or has a partner who has a yellow vaccination book advise me if they have put their signature in this space? Thanks

I came back in Dec on Thai pass - booked holiday inn express through Agoda about 5K baht included everything. 3 average meals but absolutely no complaint.

A couple of weeks ago I got my new Non O retirement extension (which of course I checked on the relevant pages). Today I made a copy of the passport and at the back I saw my notice for 90 day report - it says 24 May 2022. Well I leave Thailand on 10th May. I think that this happened one time in the past and I had to do nothing (picked up by the TM6 departure card I think). However I was out of the country for 2 years (Covid) and I guess it's prudent to check if anything has changed about this.

As far as I recall Emirates operate two flights from Dubai at similar departure times: 1. Dubai - Phuket - Bangkok 2. Dubai - Bangkok - Hong Kong I know I tried to check in the wrong flight on my last trip!

Years ago in the UK there used to be a place where you could send your old glasses (prescription change) for recycling to poorer nations - anything like that exist here in Thailand - I have a few pairs accumulated over the years.

Thanks mtls2005 seems to fit with batch I have for Thai manufacture (A1608)

Thanks Crossy - looking for visa for Spain and BLS (where Thais have to apply) website says Thai Astra not accepted because no WHO approval - must be well out of date and not very helpful to potential tourists.

Anybody know where I can find out where (country) a particular batch was made? Also has the AstraZeneca vaccine made in Thailand been WHO approved?

I entered Thailand 17th Dec on Thai pass using Emirates Insurance included with ticket - absolutely no issues. I have just booked a UK to Thailand ticket for September so does that also include the Insurance which i thought ended for bookings after Dec 2021

I have a UK VOIP number (two actually) I also pick calls up and make calls from these numbers on my mobile (Thai sim) using Grandstream lite app. I only use this with my in house wifi (no data on my Thai Sim - don't need it). I can confirm that I regularly receive OTP codes for my banking etc. Although beware some UK banks at least demand a mobile number and hence a UK VOIP number is no good for these banks - Obviously I am not au fait with US banking OTP requirements.

I was with TOT with inet and IPTV - the TV content gradually went down but not the price. Couldn't fault the TOT support but I was paying 1200 baht a month. I had been with 3BB before with no complaints but I moved to "the sticks" and they couldn't supply - now they can - paying 738 baht including TV with channels I can watch in English. I feel sorry for TOT staff - the techies are fine but the marketing/sales senior management appear to have no idea of (or don't care about) farang customer needs.

15,000 baht minimum ? Have things changed that much I came in on Thai Pass early December and paid around 5000 baht for the 1 night and PCR (hospital test) and airport collection.

Yes topt that occurred to me after I made the post. And thanks ballpoint even allowing for the above it always pays to have options especially as there maybe callers who don't have line.

Thanks for all the input can I just clarify that WIFI calling is only for outgoing calls i.e. she can call Thailand but cannot receive calls to her mobile number whilst abroad

I have 2 VOIP UK numbers which allow me to make and receive calls in Thailand. I am shortly going to be in the UK with my Thai gf - anybody know of a VOIP with a Thai number which allows calls to and from Thailand?

To the best of my knowledge that ended for bookings after Dec 01 2021 ( I booked in November to come back in Dec on that scheme). If you believe that the scheme is back please can you give a link.
