Insurance requirements for entering Thailand

I'm currently on a retirement visa ( which expires next month) but set to come back to Thailand in a couple of weeks ( I've got a re entry permit) Can anyone please confirm what insurance cover is required.

Market village opening and regulations

Thought I'd give Market village a quick look today, As it was the first day more shops were to be open. I was soon deterred at the entrance though, Asked to fill out forms and have my phone scanned, This on top of course having to wear a mask the whole time walking around and temperature checks, Han...

Re: Coronavirus (Covid-19) News

Genuine question! Will bars ever reopen ? Will groups of people be able to sit near each other again in restaurants ? I keep hearing this new normal! Everywhere in the world, Apart from the likes of Belarus ( Who seem to be doing fine 😉) Will things ever return to the old normal? Covid 19 is unlikel...

Re: Average cost of playing golf in HH

Thanks Harry, that's good to know. It sounds like an expensive hobby 😉

Maybe I'll stick to badminton and the occasional game of golf for now, Until I win the lottery .. 😉

Re: Average cost of playing golf in HH

OK Thanks for the advice Mikeyb.
Around £600 a month sounds pretty expensive.
I don't how much cheaper it is to play through a golf society though?
Rather than paying for individual games on various courses which is no doubt the most expensive option.

Average cost of playing golf in HH

I'm thinking of taking up golf in HH, but I've heard it's really expensive. I would like to know if it's going to be within my budget.. I'm guessing it's much cheaper to join a golf society and play through them. Could someone please give me an idea of roughly how much it costs to play. Assuming 2 r...

Re: Latest English Language TV deals

Air TV extra, in my opinion is the best IPTV streaming service around, available on Android box or fire TV stick. They give a free 2-3 day trial They have 7 days catch-up and VOD Make sure you go for the Extra package, not the regular Air TV, as its far superior. I've been using this service for a c...

Re: Quiz Nights

Thanks I seem to remember the London bar in Soi 94 having one as well, before they moved. I know there is a regular one in Cha Am every Monday as well. But it's a bit far to travel if your having a drink.. It's surprising there are not more, when you think of the amount of bars and as Rock Star says...

Ferry to Pattaya

Apologies if this has been covered recently But is the Ferry to Pattaya service likely to be suspended at this time of year, due to the windy conditions ? Can you get a refund if it is? Do they have an official website? I would like to go on the Ferry for a change, instead of using the bus. Thanks
