Beautiful day here in Maeon..Moo10....Sun shinning with a crystal clear blue sky...Dogs and chooks all sleeping as per usual under our durian...banana..date palm..papaya trees..and at peace with each other. Quiet night at the shop with reasonable local customers..but wee bit chilly. I even had a scarf on...yet we sold out on ice..such is life ...sanuk..Tomorrow is MKRO day to stock up..chai

Any updates on Booster No 2. Been in UK since Xmas and just got back this week. My First and Second jabs were done at the Prom last Sept,while I got a Moderna booster in Glasgows Hampden Park (the football ground) but unlike in CM NKP it took me 8 weeks to get the verification certificate. One way return was easy...Thai Pass in 3 days..UK health Insurance accepted and Agoda booking at Holiday inn Express in Sukhumvit soi 11...for one night ...Neg result by 9 pm and 10 minutes later was sitting in "Leks last stand bar" with a beer Chang. Back to question..Just before I left...flew back Scottish / R-uk governments were starting to roll out their Boosters No 2...Programme..so...

Recon time to head back.from Blighty...Pfizer 1 and 2 at the Prom Chieng Mai..plus yellow book a week later with follow up Moderna in Glasgow Scotland..at Xmas.They however took 6 weeks to send and assimilate the certificate with NHS registration..ho hum..but mai pen ...Yes...Hoping los Moh drop the 5 day test.....Will give it another week..sanuk

All above correct..got back last week to Glasgow and new rules here mean that you can get a booster locally 12 weeks after your second c19 shot which I got in CM end of Sept...so headed to Hampden Park as a walk in ..No problem...however since I had a UK..ie English nhs med number ..Scotland requires a different called a CHI ..? Basically I had to locally register with a GP..get said number and upload my Thai vaxes certificated QR to be valid on the system....Just read also that all UK Nations documentation will be accepted by both EU and Thailand...for travel..Got to keep up ..chai..Happy New Year...sanuk.

KLM were more concerned that I had a completed Location approval certificate from UK gov.since you need it to prove that you are "accepted for entry"Showed check in lady my yellow pp..fit to fly..with the antigen..result anyway ...and she just smiled and said...dee mak..ka...

Got an Antigen test in CMedclinic at 12.30 Friday...Negative result plus FTF...at 5pm.Saturday down to Bangkok for KLM to Glasgow.on Sun 16th.Had already booked day 2 PCR in Glasgow for the Monday and also had a completed Locator form printed..Docs Checked by Airline..Monday test Negative...So now in my local... drinking coffee...

10 days ago..CM - BKK r/t 2 days down there on Thai Viet Jet.....zilch. Checked in on line and just showed Driving License but had ..Pink ID,PP and Thai Yellow Book in the bag just in case...Flights both ways were FULL...only a couple of "farangs"on board. good flight.. Incid if parking at Chiang Mai Airport always use the new multi story car park...small buggy delivers you to main buildng ...about 2 minutes. Also its cheaper than outside...

From 04:00 GMT on Tuesday ( ie 11-00 am Thai Time "pron nee") travellers aged 12 and over will be required to show proof of a Negative PCR or lateral flow test taken no earlier than 48 hours before departure.( flight or check in....mai ko jai..?) Health Secretary said the measures were temporary.

Mucked up my departure ...this Wednesday to uk..but KLM changed my flight so...now its Sunday.(with Thanks)...Been avoiding the "punji sticks" nose job but now cant avoid it ..Will try for an antigen test on Thursday..in CM...Roll on next year...????‍♀️

Heading back to UK via Amsterdam next week.so just checked my MOPH app.. Name -Correct...Citizen ID Number-Correct...Nationality-Thai-cor....eh?..????‍♀️ List of Vaxs-Correct..Certificates and dates -Correct...so....looking good also got a Yellow book and photocopies just in case.

Last time I renewed my Uk passport I flew back to London over a weekend ..Visited Victoria PP Office on Monday with pre booked appointment at 11.00 am ..got new one same day at 5 PM..On the Tuesday went to Thai Embassy and presented said PP for a new 12 month O Visa which I..picked it up on Wednesday morning ( now those rules have sadly changed) and finally made it back to CM a few days later ..before the lockdown..over 18 months ago..Heading back for a quick visit in 10 days time.....Never used any agents..
