  1. Arriving in Mukdahan at 4 PM and expecting to be in Phuket same day? Hell that's a challenge. Another way of saying I don't think that there is any chance. Distance is about 1500 km, 20 hour drive on the road. The closest airports are 2 to 3 hour drive away. Haven't checked the schedules. But simply no way. Realistic: drive to Khon Kaen, overnight and continue with (connecting) flight next morning. Connecting: next non-stop is not before Friday from Khon Kaen.
  2. Contains medical advice about substitutes.
  3. Shell will always have good explanations why their fuels are special. More mileage, longer motor life.... Some magic technology/add-ons etc. My car hasn't seen Shell or Esso in 135000 km. Still running fine.
  4. When will this clan have bought the whole country? Competition? What's that? I love monopolies.
  5. What a difference head- vs tail-wind makes. Vancouver to Bangkok scheduled flight time 15:55 hours (uff). Thailand to Canada 13:05 hours. Small detour avoiding unfriendly airspace. (errors excepted, Vancouver 15 hours after Bangkok in Winter)
  6. Dirty farang again. And some still believe there is no xenophobia in Thailand.
  7. Works fine 500 km away (I am logged in user) 45 Baht shipping crossed out. Can't confirm general statement 95% not work. Absolutely not true. If you say 95% of orders are not free shipment: maybe. Often there is a lower limit specified for free shipment. Nothing unusual.
  8. Tests for domestic travel (to Koh Chang)?? That would have made news over the last long weekends with the masses. Can't remember any mention from the last months and that applies to all domestic destinations incl. Ko Samui and Phuket (which were the last to abolish). Vaccination certificate? Hotels can make up their own rules, Maybe ask ahead. And both websites linked above say that there are no more tests. Just read in "306 thoughts on “Koh Chang Ferry” from the ferry site: https://kohchangferries.com/
  9. Not giving a rough idea what the problems are? Such a general question might require a certified specialist or just an experienced user.
  10. Sorry but I had to put a big laugh on that. Simulating the deaf? No! I don't what the fuss about getting ID card changed is. Marriage not registered in Thailand or not? Too much paperwork at banks, land office ...?
  11. Booking online and paying "personally" at "their office"? You really believe that there is a Skyscanner "office" in Edinburgh where you can go and pay???? Sorry but you have a long way to go until doing an online booking. Online booking is at >your desk< and usually requires some credit/debit card. (other non cash payment forms maybe available depending on country) Best look for a good old travel agency in your area.
  12. I have seen this interview in the morning. Unbelievable how this liar can keep a straight face. But after the nagging questions about the cruelties seen in Ukraine he got somewhat excited.
  13. Royal Garden, 15 June to 31 July. every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, 11:00 to 15:00. (errors excepted) All stuff available. What is Covovax? No Moderna. Walk in, no appointment needed. First day was so quiet they are sitting and waiting for customers. Source is in German, poster in Thai language (organized by the P. city hospital) I would have to chance to go there end of June but I also got enough after three shots.
  14. Good that they never set exact rules about type of mask I wear an alibi model with the least obstruction of breath. In Germany they had forced "FFP2" masks. Hell, wear them for an hour in hot climate!
  15. More than I expected. Whole country green zone. Stop the crazy color codes. Let's hope some easing of mask rules will follow. Is it too much to expect some common sense like no masks in open space or riding bike? Don't expect that mask in shops/malls will fall soon. Did they wear masks at the full moon party? Suggest to watch some videos about the reality in Pattaya, Khao San rd. etc. A mate comes from Germany on June 25. Of course with Thai pass/insurance. Have just sent him the good news (not for him)
  16. Did you try at other banks (Krungsri, KBank, SCB, ....)? Does it show the Mastercard logo?
  17. I tried to understand what is written in Thai language about this ID Confirm. Didn't really get it but obviously not relevant for the average expat (50/50 Health Scheme? Some Wallet function?).
  18. No. Just coming back from town. Used a KTB ATM with the "ID Confirm" sticker with my Bangkok Bank card (Mastercard Debit). Usual procedure on touchscreen. Got spit out 20k and new balance on my Bangkok Bank account displayed. And that's about all I can do on this foreign ATM.
