There are several casinos in existence where the police accept "tea money"i in return for turning a blind eye yo what is going on Alan

Hi guys, I v=currently lie in Ban Chang and my wife wants to visit Hua Hin. She has said that there is a car ferry from sattahip but I can find no trace of this on-line. Does anyone know whether such a ferry exists? I know there is a ferry from Pattaya. Does this still run? If so, is it a car ferry or passengers only? If it is passengers only, does it have easy wheelchair access? Due to a stroke, I am confined to a wheelchair. This plus arthritis in my knees makes a journey by road difficult. Thanks, Alan

I blame climate change for all this crazy weather Alan

Much the same here in Ban Chang Alan

As I am confined to a wheelchair , My wife went to Immigration (rayong) for me yesterday to extend my "visa" I had gone with her to the bank for the letter confirming my bank balance and so on. It seems that their is a new regulation regarding how long money has to be in the bank for. She didn't really know what the rule change was. As a result, we hsad to go back to the bank today, Apparently we now have to wait about 5 days to get a new letter. Anyone know what is happening? Apologies if this has been answered before but I don't look at the forum frequently due to being disabled. Thanks. Alan

Thanks. I've book marked the site. My medication will add quite a bit to the cost! Alan

Hi guys, Are there any farang nursing homes ( with farang food in the Chonburi/Rayong areas? An indication of the basic cost would be helpful. I would need a private room with 24/7 nursing care due to a stroke, Thanks, Alan

I had mine done in Rayong. As I was having some minor problems went to a clinic in Rayong and had laser treatment on both eyes within half an hour. Now, no longer need glasses at all after wearing them for 50 + years

Is this for transfers in or out? I use Bangkok Bank so should not be affected Alan

Can't see most Thais taking that advice somehow Alan

Does that include the bar and restaurant? Alan

Thanks, I had forgotten that. Only problem is that we would be living in Scotland where the laws are different - e.g. at present masks MUST be worn on public transport and maybe in shops. Alan

Bangkok Pattaya said October for Moderna now pushed back to November? Friends told me about registering for Phizer in Rayong so I booked and got my 2nd jab about 10 days ago. Due to a stroke I need a medically accompanied flight home on a scheduled flight but can't stay with my brother as there are too many stairs in his house. Also Noi got the Chinese vaccine and Dear Boris doesn't recognise it so she would have to isolate in a ludicrously expensive hotel for 10 days. Not sure whether I can isolate with her at no extra cost - apart from food and drink! I suspect not somehow. Yet covid numbers are coming down in Thailand while they are going through the roof in the UK!I don't know who to believe more - the Thai government or Boris. Probably not much in it? My return home is likely to be 2024 or 2025 at the earliest as when Noi applies for indefinite leave to remain, she will be 65 and exempt from all the tests. This assumes the NHS is providing a decent service by then! Alan

Watching the rain until my brother calls me from Scotland in about 10 minutes. Been raining since about 08.00 am Alan

Won't last for ever someone will beat them eventually

1984 is back again with Faux News leading the way😬 Alan

A likely story😁 Finally get my 2nd jab on Monday Alan
