  1. The 650 B Covid19 insurance mentioned by ubonjoe has a 14 days waiting period (or negative PCR 72hrs prior). The only cheap insurance with no waiting period i have been able to find (i just returned from Europe) was from MSIG called Personal TA Inbound Mini for 660Baht. Worked fine for Thailand Pass. The international vaccination certificate from MorProm works fine too. Thailand Pass got approved in 2 hours after submitting application. Landing at Suvarnabhumi Airport, there is a counter where they check your ThailandPass papers and give you a sticker, that's all.
  2. AirportPlaza from April 1st, open Saturday/Sunday only. Hotline: 0981025783, 0981028632
  3. A friend of mine has recently been in the same situation,he needed a very simple phone for limited purposes. He got himself a new Oppo A57 from Lazada, about 1500Baht. The phone does everything that is required, all Apps are working, 2 SIM slots AND a memory card slot. Mind you, that model is already a few years old, so you won't get any OS updates anymore, but works fine, fast GPS, good battery life and fast response. For something a bit modern and still budget-orientated, check Lazada (or any other store) for a Xiaomi Redmi 9. Its various models start around 3000Baht. I very much second the recommendation of not buying a second hand phone, prices are too high, quality is dubious.
  4. Just been there in January. The office was almost empty, the whole process took 20 minutes. Funny enough, the digital fingerprint scanner is not used anymore, they took fingerprints the old fashioned way, so bring some wet wipes with you. As mentioned already, you need a letter of request stating the purpose of the police certificate from your employer. They seem to require a letter of confirmation of residency too. There is an extra fee of 50 Baht for the EMS postal service, they will provide an envelope on which you can write your adress on.
  5. I used to own its predecessor, which was advertised with almost the same pictures. Android was supposed to be version 9, was in fact 4.4 Memory was advertised as 128Gb, was in fact 12GB Screen resolution was advertised as full HD, was in fact very low. The tablet was running a non-erasable background software preinstalled by its manufacturer which altered the results of most of the common benchmarking tools. For a normal User everything would seem fine according to its advertised specs.... And as a bonus it also had a Virus/Spyware preinstalled, which was continuously running in the background (cloaked with the name of a popular App) stealing information and sending it to who-knows-where. I managed to root it and clean it, now it functions as a videoplayer for the village kids.
  6. May i ask a follow-up question? What is the time allowed for the visa-transfer? And, is there any penalty if done late? Thank you!
  7. Thank you very much for your quick and helpful reply! As always, it is most appreciated.
  8. Greetings. I would like to ask the experts the following question: Can a Non-I visa issued in Isan be transferred to a new passport anywhere, i.e. in another province? The person in question has just received his new passport while visiting Chiang Mai and now would like to transfer his visa at Chiang Mai Immigration. If possible, which documents/requirements (apart from the embassy-visa-transfer-letter) would be necessary? Thank you everybody!

  13. Yes, Hua Nam Dang camping ground is perched high up on a cliff, in the morning the surrounding forest is often immersed in a lovely blanket of mist/fog. Nights in the cold season usually are cristal clear. For those with a pickup truck, a motorcycle or good walking boots: there starts a long track along the mountain ridge all the way to Wiang Haeng, very scenic.
  14. There is Huai Nam Dang National Park on the border to Mae Hong Son province. The campingground is high up on a plateau, has all the amenities and is right in the middle of nowhere. Easy access by highway 1095 to Pai. Coordinates: 19.303126, 98.598955 Don't forget to bring a blanket or two!
