Re: Thailand tourist slump continues

Don't these statistics tell them something. It isn't tourists arriving for a holiday, it's Thais & Expats using the Sandbox as a reasonable method of return to Thailand. Do they seriou9think that % of people are travelling around Thailand. TiT never ceases to amaze me. Never underestimate the po...

Re: Student protests in Thailand

I understand and have read the Thammasat Student Union protestors demands. But I must say the protest at Din Daeng that I watched live tonight was just a bunch of bored, unemployed teens wanting to burn off some testosterone and vent their understandable anger at life today - but I doubt a single on...

Covid related food shortages/price hikes

Over past month I noticed on my recent visits to Tesco-Lotus that they seemed not to have certain brands or entire categories of food items I like. I initially put this down to EOFY stock run-out/rebuilding, but it has actually got worse. One entire isle is now dedicated to storing boxes of noodles ...

Re: Coronavirus (Covid-19) News

I just watched this brief 2018 doco about the Spanish Flu and pandemics. They didn't know at the time of this documentary that Covid-19 was on our doorstep. In a moment of irony the segment ends with the guy saying we don't know when the next one will hit, it could be in 10 years. https://youtu.be/3...

Re: Vaccines - Covid 19

So the system isn't that smart/joined up. Out of interest, how do you know that they’ve been vaccinated by their Embassy? Danny Boy I witnessed them with my own eyes, screaming out "viva la France" as the needle punctured their delicate white European skin. I may have gone a bit overboard...

Re: Effects of Covid-19 on land transportation

Chonburi is a dark red province and is in near lockdown and permission is, or will be, needed to enter the dark red zone starting at Samut Sakhon and then to cross other dark red provinces to get to Chonburi. Once in a dark red zone you will need permission to depart and quarantine rules come into ...

Re: Effects of Covid-19 on land transportation

Reading this it seems the buses have ceased operation. Am I allowed to drive from Prachuap Khiri Khan to Chonburi (and return) to check on a rental property?

Re: Vaccines - Covid 19

It seems like there is a 24 hr. window between the announcement and the vaccine appts. for US citizens and they don't say how many doses are available or how to contact the facility to register. Maybe I'm not seeing everything but it seems like it's not well thought out. Exactly! They post details ...
