Have an appointment at the Vientiane Thai Consulate in a week (Monday, April 22, 9am) and am wondering what the best current options are for getting there from Bangkok. I've previously (very long ago) taken a Nok Air flight to Udon Thani and then a bus to the border. Another ancient run was via a van that I hooked with at the On Nut Tesco parking lot on a Sunday night. I guess just taking an AirAsia Bangkok-Vientiane might also be an option. Any recommendations? Thanks.

This absurd "they lied to us" nonsense has been beyond ridiculous for a long time now. It says nothing but how much the speaker has zero clue about the scientific method and about science itself. So to spell it out for Covid, it has ALWAYS been said from the very beginning that this was a NEW VIRUS. That means they, the scientists, had much less to go on from the start, and, as such, their understanding would likely significantly change as more was learned. As more research was done and data collected the virus's virulence (and mutations) became better understood as did the efficacy of various vaccines, so that NECESSARILY public health recommendations also changed. THAT'S HOW SCIENCE WORKS. And that has been the experience with Covid research. So continuing with your imbecilic "they lied to us" does nothing but communicate what an idiot you are.

My experience with the current version of online 90 day reporting is the window is 14 days before to 7 days before the reporting date. For example, my submission has been rejected when I've done it 16 days before, and it's been rejected when I've done it 5 days before. But it's been accepted when I've done it 9, 10, or 11 days before.

Totally confused at first by the headline for the link to the article ("...flutter..."). But have now learned still another quaint Briticism courtesy the Asean Now news writers:

What a retarded term, "baht bus." How about "bench bus" since that's what's characteristic about them: seating is on two benches facing each other. After all, the actual Thai word is something like song taw which just translates to two benches.

I do this every month online. I have my SCB account linked to my US bank and just send away. I get near market rates (e.g. today SCB gives 34.92 THB/USD vs. the market rate of 34.79). And only pay an additional flat fee of of 300 baht.

In the Bangkok Post story on this, the Juangroongruangkit family were issued the deeds in 1978, but the land was not converted to a forest reserve until 1984.

Is there a specific window like the last system? From my looking at the page it seemed they just wanted you to apply within two weeks before your reporting date. I submitted mine on Jan 5 with a reporting date of Jan 10. And I just got an e-mail back that my application was rejected, with no reason given. All it said was, "Please contact the Immigration Branch Office in your residence area." So it looks like I'm going to Immigration tomorrow. I live in Bangkok, so my question is, should I go to Chaeng Wattana or Muang Thong Thani?
