  1. When applying for a visitor visa to Canada for my wife (Thai). The website suggested an eTA, electronic travel authorization. So we applied and got one. My wife got one because she has had visas to Canada before. Now I am wondering if she still needs a visa. The gov website made it seem like a substitute for a visa. But we don't know for sure, and can't get that information from the websites.

    I fear that we will find out at the airport that the visa is required.

    I would like to know for sure. There is still time to apply for a visa, but not much.

    Has anyone from here had experience with an eTA for a Thai person?

     

     

  2. I am coming back to Thailand through Hong Kong. When I left three weeks ago, there was a lot of concern about Covid in China and some confusion over the requirements to enter Thailand, ie. PCR tests...

     

    I am out of the loop now, so I don't know the situation anymore. Will coming from Hong Kong be a problem, And do they require a PCR test on entry? Or previous to entry?

    My old 4x4 Toyota truck has 15 inch rims, so there are fewer selections these days.  Goodrich was one contender.  I just recently bought Toyo Open Country A/T 3 since I couldn't get the same Bridgestones that were on it.  $166 per tire here in the US ( plus mounting) for P235/75 R15  108T.  (IIRC the Bridgestones were more than that well over 10 years ago.)

    Seems like what I am looking for.

    I have. ????

    It depends on the conditions if the truck sinks right down in soft ground as I have done on my farm with my 2 wheel rear drive is it useless no matter what tyres. 

    4x4 is so different.

     

    I have my share of 4x4 experience, growing up on a cattle ranch. I understand that if the ground is soft there is no hope. But in our case we have been stuck in conditions I would describe as greasy.

    I just want an upgrade in traction.

  5. I have a 2010 Ford Ranger. We have been using the same type of tire it was sold with, some type of Michelin that is clearly for highway only. Excellent tread life averaging over 60,000km per set. But horrible traction in any sort of mud. We have gotten stuck with this thing on level ground more than once. It is not a 4X4.

    This time around I am will to give up some tread life and endure a little more noise, in exchange for a little more grip. I haven't compared tires in forever, and I have no idea what to try.
