The only one comment I would make is that if you plan to stay long term in Thailand try to open an account in the Province where you will be staying. Otherwise its just a pain. To get anything done or changed you have to deal with the bank in the Province where the account was opened. If you use your ATM card out of Province you will incur a charge.

@Steve *******

what you paid $5 for Ray-Ban. I must live in a cheaper part of the country.

@Brian ********

yes that's right. Should have made that a little clearer.

I think you would need a full UK motorcycle along with an IDP which is stamped up for motorcycle. And as I understand it this would be valid for 90 days after which you would need a Thai licence.

When I had my booster shot at a local village hospital I was given a slip of paper to show it had been done. I then took that to the main health department in town. They then supplied me with the yellow vaccine passport at a cost of 50 bht. It was all pretty straight forward.

@Cory *******

I would also agree with that. Backpacks so much easier. You don't need to bring much as almost everything is available in Thailand. Just travel light and make it easy. And by the way I'm not some young backpacker I'm 66 and still travel this way.

@Terry *******

me too. That's why I buy a good quality coffee, use and use a coffee press and drink it black. I also like to try not to consume too much sugar. Also use low salt fish & oyster sauce in all my meals. Got to try your best.

Why not just to Thai foods and forget the Farrang foods. It's so much easier.

Always flew EVA before covid and never any problems. Always good service.

I get exactly the same. Sometimes can get a translation, sometimes not. What I find is you get the message translation not available. But then you can manually copy and paste the text into Google translate and it then gives the translation. This makes me think it is Facebook and not Google which is controlling this. But I could be totally wrong.
