Re: Noise cancelling wireless headphones

I ordered a Bose Quiet Comfort 35 II from Lazada, but it was much smaller than the original, no wonder, it only cost 500 baht. So I sent it back and ordered the same one from another retailer who assured me it was the original. But I got the same crap. In order to have really comfortable headphones ...

Re: Flying to/from Thailand, latest updates

When I checked in in Vienna on July 30th, I was asked about travel insurance (not Covid insurance). Only when I proved to live in Thailand I didn't need it.

Re: Flying to/from Thailand, latest updates

To return to Thailand you must have a vaccination certificate, usually 3 doses, or a certified Covid test.

Re: Flying to/from Thailand, latest updates

I came back from Austria today with a fully occupied Airbus A380 (more than 500 passengers). To my surprise, the TM6 form was not required. I only read that they are thinking about it.

Re: Thailand hotel prices and availability post-covid

What bothers me about agoda is that you can book in 10 different ways (directly, via discount emails, via Google maps, via tripadvisor and many other booking platforms and you can see 10 different prices. Most of the time booking via Google maps is the cheapest, often by a very significant amount.

Re: Kasikorn K PLUS mobile banking app

I got a debit card from Kasikorn, which is accepted in most places just like a credit card. But to get a real credit card, I should buy an unnecessary and expensive life insurance.

Re: Thailand tourist slump continues

Last year they wanted the blue house book with a copy. This year I had it with me but didn't show it and they didn't want it anymore.

Re: Flying to/from Thailand, latest updates

I easily managed to enter Suvarnabhumi with my Thailand Pass (QR code printed on paper). Strange that they also asked for the vaccination certificate, although this information is already in the Thailand Pass. Something weird: I have a TM6 form left that I fill in before I travel. I use the form I g...
