Re: Covid questions for the forum

I left Thailand for work on 30th June and due to the worsening situation in Thailand and the timeframe for getting vaccinated have decided to go back to the UK rather than try and get back into Thailand. This is what I’ve found out so far checking online and asking people who have travelled recently...

Re: Dual-pricing in Thailand: Is it time to do away with the 'farang tax'?

It used to be easy to get a Yellow book in Hua Hin. A translation of my passport into Thai - approved by the police and then the Yellow book cost B10 at the Tessabahn.

Re: New immigration form (TM6) goes into effect in October

I'm sure the TM 6 was never a requirement for Thais but then again the TM6 cannot be the cause of the delays.
Thais fill out the departure section of the TM6 card to leave Thailand they don't need to fill out the TM6 card on arrival.

Re: New immigration form (TM6) goes into effect in October

Note: Go ahead and lose one sometime and see the BS you have to go through to replace it. You would think you've lost a Top Secret nuclear weapon security clearance card. A couple of months ago I realised I had lost my TM card while standing in the immigration queue at Don Meuang waiting to get sta...

But if I stay in the right hand lane it means I never have have to worry about changing lanes and I can drive at whatever speed I like. 😎

Re: Coco Beach Club

I have eaten here a few times and last night went back with my family. Ordered 4 dishes, steak, fajitas, nachos and spare ribs. The food took a while, as a few of the staff were off sick including ET himself. As usual all the dishes were excellent, the spare ribs are the best I have eaten for a long...

Re: Airport VIP Bus to and from Hua Hin

DHL don't have an office or agent in Hua Hin anymore which is why I assume they won't accept the Hua Hin post code online. DHL will deliver to Bangkok and will then subcontract the delivery to Hua Hin, I have had received several letters that have always been delivered promptly this way. Are you abl...
