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

But a tourist tax of 300 Baht at arrival is nothing compared to the dual rates of hotels which can make more than 1000 Baht per day.

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...

Re: Buying online from Lazada

I've ordered from Shopee several times from my desktop and it's been fine. I ordered twice via smartphone and it never arrived but I got the refund. Apparently they can't find the address then.

Re: Flying to/from Thailand, latest updates

I applied for a Thailand Passport at 2pm yesterday and got the approval at 10pm. I have uploaded a letter from my insurance company stating that Covid is insured up to $100,000. I only need it in June, but I didn't count on the expectation that it would be taken down in June.
