It seems to have changed. I was using an agent outside of BKK for 1 year. This time I was getting a lift to main Immig. but they pulled me over to another desk, saying to me NO CHANGE OF PROVINCE, and I was fined 800b. Eddy

I need to go to KL after June 1. I have had 4 shots and a booster in Thailand. The booster was about 4 months ago and all are stamped by the hospitals . Apart from my PP and shot records, does Malaysia require a special paper or is it now just walk thru as it was 2 years ago? Anything needed for the return to BKK? Thks Eddy

I have just had Moderna booster and I have a hospital-stamped paper certifying this and 2 previous AZ. I plan to see friends in KL next month, going by air. Is this certificate enough for flying? Or is there still some kind of Covid passport?? None of the nurses was able to answer this, although one said I could obtain this other document at the airport (in my case Don Muang)...even though she thought I had to get it well in advance. Also: I understand that Malaysia is "open" but I'm not sure if they want an LFT done on arrival. Also: (Today is 14 April) Do I still need the 1-day hotel here when I land, or is this history now? Eddy

Thanks. useful. After 1 April does Malaysia ask for 1 day quarantine and test? I have had 4 vaccines. Eddy

Ive tried twice in 6 months to do the 90 day with On Line. All have been failures and there are no caveats such as getting a new pp. In the end I decided to pay a reliable and inexpensive agent. Her fee was the same as 2 cabs to MTT. Several days ago I tried the online method again but nothing has come back. Should I wait longer---i still have 9 days to spare (?). On past performance, waiting did me no good and I was rejected on the second use of an agent. Tomorrow I will just use the agent by EMS again. I won't risk a fine. Eddy

Off to KL once I can fly there. Short holiday. I live in bkk i had Az And Pfizer last year and I am fine. the hospitals gave me their signed papers of vaccination. Is it enough just to take these, or do I need to register them for flying? One nurse told me to simply take them to the airport (DM), but a Thai friend tells me I must use a phone app to convert them to a gvment paper or image. Do I need a blow test also? confused Eddy

Thanks to all. I’m still confused cos about 12 yrs ago I quit a “top 3” university and retired on the extension. When the university asked me to return p-t 6 months later they took me to a small room in San Phlu and changed me back to 0 in 3 minutes, but I did need to go to the Labor Office the next day. 20 years ago, as a newbie, a respected southern university commanded me to head to Penang asap to get a real 0 instead of my 60 or 90 day tourist visa from Gibraltar. Luckily I turned that place down and went to Bkk where my new HRD said “rubbish” and got me all pukka in 4 hours. To this day, I still wonder why some guys have to go to Penang or Hcm (I know Pinoys have to) while others don’t. Btw I’m a Brit. Eddy

Presumably the above means a visit to Labour Office to apply for an O visa. Does the HR of the new firm need to do it all (or will they?). From my experience of years ago, they need to sign something and take me there. Will this also mean a trip to the embassy in Penang? If we are allowed to go? Eddy

Need to go to KL for business (by air) from Bangkok, Expect to stay a week. Any ideas re opening/quarantine or anything else? I had 4 vax, all recorded. Eddy

What is the current situation for a Brit living in Bangkok who needs to visit KL for 10 days?...(Today is FEB 10)...by plane. Do I have to quarantine in a Q Hotel? For how long and how many tests? Im fully vaxed and boosted. I read that Malaysia will halt lockdowns soon because they badly need the dosh there. Eddy

Last year I registered with 2 hospitals but they both summoned me within about 4 months. The gunk was free due to embassies being kind. As I have some medical training I checked Canadian and Spanish research which suggested that PF could repeat in 4 weeks and AZ about 6 weeks (ie not as Thai doctors tell you). I had the vaxes 1 2 3 4 and no side effects at all. Subsequently, it turned out that the Spanish and Israelis were correct, and some brands could even be given at 3-week intervals. I believe Israel is now routinely giving 4 shots. All my LFTs for 9 months have been fine (no, not my liver) and I havent even had a cold. My last AZ was October 28th, meaning that I had 2 plus 2 vaxes over about 3 months. When should I have a booster, and what brand shd it be? Eddy

Agree but TIT and the boss wants the work done under his eyes. Complex PR with major clients. What does the law say? Eddy

I have had no prob with Aetna (recent surgery no hitch) but I pay a damn lot with 40k OPD and no excesses. No dental included but complex stuff covered in my Platinum. It's big and I think owned in the USA. I think they bought out BUPA here, so my broker moved me directly. I think now that I have paid for years, the cover is forever. Any thoughts? Eddy

A good friend works in a cramped office with 10 others. Today, a lad in the office showed two double lines on 2 separate LFTs, so likely positive. He went to a hospital for an ATK (?) at 3pm but nobody knows the outcome. To be sure, the kits were bought from 2 different brands. Only 2 people from 11 are fully boosted...all are Thai and most had 2 SV or 2 AZ months ago. I don't know the boss but he sounds like a hard master. What should happen? Should the guy go home and isolate, or should everyone WFH for 5 days and get tested before return? Honest answers please because some of the staff have families and most use the MRT. Eddy
