  1. Is anyone aware if agents can arrange for professional translation of marriage documents (Australian divorce certificate and Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage issued by the embassy) and submit to the Ministry of Consular Affairs in Bangkok? I travelled to BKK to do so, but after collecting the documents from my embassy couldn't arrange immediate translation and get to MFA in time. I detest BKK driving, an agent would be my best option if it is possible. Appreciate any constructive advice thanks.
  2. Please - if you wish to contribute information spell out acronyms and abbreviations so the broad readership understands your comment.
  3. Agree ... Such a lost opportunity, could have put a road alongside the railway tracks when developing the dual-rail fast train project. There seems to be available land along many sections of the rail line and some short stretches of minor roads currently exist for short lengths. The city planning officials could help in the short term by synchronising traffic lights on Phetkasem Rd. It's frustrating to wait three cycles to get through Soi 70 lights only to travel mere metres before joining the line waiting at the next set.
  4. The jury is still well and truly out on this. The NSW government has, before children are largely vaccinated or the population can access booster vaccines, chosen the Let It Rip policy, encouraged by the Federal government. Christmas Day was a huge super-spreader event. The wave of infections will only now be starting to show in the stats. What will not show is the number of people being infected, not requiring hospitalisation, but unable to work. Hospitals are already facing staff shortages as people succumb to the extraordinary burden placed on them by Covid-19. Many have resigned or retired, burnt out. Many of those still working are dog-tired, on the edge of puling the pin too. And many will be victims of the virus, spreading it to co-workers and staying at home to isolate or to recover from symptoms. Either way hospitals don't function without health care workers from doctors to janitors. Elective surgery and other 'not yet life-threatening' surgeries are already being cancelled/postponed. Tomorrow New Years Eve will produce yet another super-spreader event. So holding up Australia's response to Omicron as a shining beacon to other nations is a very questionable call.
  5. Somewhat related ..... I returned to Thailand, plan to use the 65K baht per month into Thailand option for extension this November, however my December payment had a shortfall of 7K. I realised the error and transferred additional funds 30 Dec but it got caught up in high current international transfers and public holidays and didn't arrive into my Thai account until 4 January. Transfers have satisfied the 65k requirement since then. Do you think this will satisfy IO if I bring copies of 7K transfer sent and bank book showing receipt into account 4 January? Any comments appreciated.
  6. Good for you J. ???? I'm booked for Monday next. Same experience with registration as others - no confirmation email was received, however I emailed Medpark after 4 days and received a confirmation and important details. It's worth noting that vaccination does not prevent you from acquiring the virus so you can still spread it if you don't continue to observe social distancing, mask-wearing etc. The huge advantage is (as noted by a member above) that sickness and one's risk of dying is very much minimised.
