What should I do if my PCR test is positive but I have no symptoms while in Thailand?

Peter ******

Insurance is always for specific conditions, not other way around.

If no mention of (or explicitly excludes) asymptomatic then not covered.

Is the carry-on luggage limit of 5 kg strictly enforced by Bangkok Airways?

Peter ******

What are effective cleaning products for ingrained dirt on floor tiles after renovation?

Peter ******

Type of tiles? Porcelain?

Do you really mean tile or grout?

If grout (which I suspect) then maybe only option is to remove and redo.

Usually start at top when building works an work down to avoid this.

Why are medical scans in Thailand only available with a doctor's prescription, and are unnecessary surgeries common?

Peter ******

Questions like did you expect insurance to cover it?

The radiation from certain procedures means that such use is often discouraged unless considered most appropriate.

I can remember visiting hospital in London with potential cracked ribs to be told that there was no way I would be x-rayed as chance of cancer did not justify it.

What is the process for obtaining a 60-day tourist visa for Thailand from the UK?

Peter ******

I suspect that they are ramping up admin in hope of lots of visitors.

They want visitors, not nightmare stories in media of admin just trying to get there.

They have had 2 years in which they have been able to employ staff on optimising existing system.
