I pointed out to him that it clearly stated on note 'Sunday 23rd January, 9-11am' for second test. But he insisted I had to pay as it was after Day 7.

This is how I see the whole process of the PCR test just a great opportunity to get money.

That's how I would interpret it Tel. 

It's such a shame Pdoggg as I was already gearing up to take the plunge and go for the trip then they stopped the test and go and now that they have reintroduced it they have added a double the expense element as I would already be in my place of residence comfortably after day 1 test at the sha + hotel then during day 5 would have to leave my residence to get re booked into a sha+ hotel well I think I know when to call it quits and this as they say " is the straw that broke the camels back "  I have truly had enough .

Guys if I am reading this right does this mean now that we would have to make two bookings for a Sha + hotel one for day one and one for day 5 ?

On behalf of all our forum members who enjoyed his posts and his bar, we are sorry to see him go. Frankly, I don't blame him. Why put up with abusive attacks?

We have lost a quality which to my mind is far better than quantity.

Or sometimes a negative can actually be a positive such as something like, "disgusting, there were many prostitutes loitering 100 yards away from the hotel".  

I am going to review my reviews with that criteria

The sooner they stop hyping up the Omicron fast spread the better as can be seen below.

Seems the Big O is quite contagious especially in airports and planes.

Yes Pdoggg, never mind what sensible precautions you may take the problem will be  the sheer volume of people congested into a tight space.

Quite a good read here in the discussion part many varied views on How it feels running the gauntlet of entry and the frustrations that come with it.

But looks like I should be ok.

From what I have been reading you are OK to go which I am delighted for you as it's been more of "touch and go" rather than "test and go" over the past couple of days that's for sure       safe journey Q G looking forward to reading some of your adventure. Cheers Tel.

Been there and back mate, went on the 16th, home on Monday. Spent the entire time in Samui, and it was perfect.

Nice one, good to hear.

I can tell you Big Tel, it was anything but slow.

Great to hear Ciobha now the fun begins, enjoy your trip my friend 

Here's a tweet from Richard Barrow on the subject this Morning.

Richard Barrow who seems to be in the loop is saying Anutin is proposing that even those who have already been issued with Thailand Pass should not be allowed in unless they arrive in Thailand before 10 January. I'm not due to arrive until 15 January, so that would be me fecked.

But it's only a proposal to the CCSA so might not be implemented - I hope.

I can feel the stress simply sitting here at the computer regarding this situation now with you Q G,  I really hope that you get to go and enjoy your well earned trip.

the only 4 I could have physical attraction to are Big Tel, Red Rock, Farangbah, and Anthony.

Thank's Lefty not only for the compliment but also to be included in a group that I like you would also consider the other three members. I know Anthony & Red Rock certainly maintain and are in great shape as for Farangbah I have lost contact but I cannot see Him loosing His appeal or shape either. I only work out on  two items of equipment these days one being the Pull Up Bar & the main one are Gymnastic Rings which I have set up in the stair landing area of my Home. They are a challenge and humbling that's why I Love them so much.  Cheers my friend    Tel.

Happy New Year Guys, Here's to a fantastic 2022
