  1. I travel overseas for work all the time and have used BBL app and online banking in many countries without a problem.
  2. I use online banking with Citibank almost daily and my address on file is in Thailand. Only restriction I have with Citibank is that I must have a US address registered for my Citi credit card. For debit card and normal banking Thailand address is fine.
  3. Not sure if the test is available but would suggest you contact Chonburi Cancer Hospital to ask. A friend of mine recently visited there for further screening after showing positive for HPV31 and HPV51 on a pap smear test so they should know about this one way or the other.
  4. A digital smart TV still needs to be connected to an external digital antenna to receive the signal. Readily available at electrical stores for a few hundred baht but you will then need to mount the antenna outside somewhere. Once connected you can tune in all the channels.
  5. Entered Thailand 3 or 4 times a year for close on 40 years and never happened to me. This post makes no sense. Why would immigration not stamp a passport particularly at Swampy?
  6. I used Laser Vision International a year ago. Highly recommended with latest technology. Not the cheapest but service was as good as you will get with regular after surgery checkups included for 1 year. I would recommend Dr. Anun Vongthongsri. https://www.laservisionthai.com/
  7. I was told AZ+AZ in Thailand is minimum 8 weeks between doses. I needed to travel urgently before my 12 week AZ second dose was scheduled and Phyathai 2 said they could bring it forward to 8 weeks.
  8. The yellow book is not needed for travel. All you need is the official vaccine certificate issued by the Thailand Ministry of Public Health which you get after second vaccine and has QR code that links to Mor Phrom App. The yellow book is something invented by Thailand and only supplements the vaccine certificate. It has no QR code which some countries require so there is really no point getting it. I am traveling right now to Dubai and Oman and they ask for the vaccine certificate.
  9. I have a 12-month ongoing retirement extension and also have a yearly AETNA insurance plan that covers Covid and is good for re-entry into Thailand. I have read that the Covid insurance coverage should cover the length of your visa. How can this work with yearly renewable plans if the retirement extension and insurance policy do not start on exactly the same date? I plan to leave Thailand for 3 months soon and on my return in January my yearly insurance expiry date is before my retirement extension needs renewing. Anybody had this issue when applying for a CoE? If so was the CoE application accepted?
  10. If you are travelling out of Thailand you need to closely check the Covid entry requirements of the country. I'm not sure about Dubai but I hope to travel to Oman in October and their regulations clearly state that the Covid vaccination certificate must have a QR code that can be scanned and links to a database that confirms the validity of your vaccination. The vaccination certificate issued by Thailand's MoPH, as seen in your Mor Phrom record, does this and should be officially recognized. The Thailand Vaccination Passport does not have a QR and is really not much use anywhere right now. It looks good but that's about all. On the other side of the coin, I have two mates who are also hoping to travel to Oman at the same time. One is from the US and the other Canadian and neither has a vaccination certificate with a QR code. Both are having issues getting visas.
  11. Does anyone know somewhere I can get a Covid-19 PCR Test with a certificate that includes a QR code? I specifically need the QR code for the country I am travelling to. Certificates from the private hospitals in Hua Hin where I live do not have a QR code. Maybe somewhere in Bangkok can do this.
  12. I was given a choice of % tint at Nissan and opted for 40% as I wanted UV protection but did not want a tint too dark so as to affect my night vision. 40% was the lowest they could provide but has proved to be just want I wanted.
  13. If you want a high-res, good quality dashcam then I would also recommend 70mai. I bought a 70mai Dashcam Pro Plus+ front cam only but rear cam is also available. Easily fit it myself and has many features that cheap cameras do not have. Bought mine from AliExpress coz was a bit cheaper than Lazada but took a couple of weeks longer for delivery. Recommend also you purchase a high endurance memory card for the dashcam as they loop record continuously. Check out their website to see what they have available. https://www.70mai.com/en/dashcams
  14. It really amazes me how many people post ridiculous replies to posts without actually reading the posts in the first place. Is this a language problem or just plain stupidity with people reading what they want to see not what the posts actually say.
