All government offices, including Immigration, are closed on Friday 26th February 2021. This is for Makha Bucha Day. As this is a religious public holiday, there is also a 24 hour ban on the sale of alcohol on Friday #Thailand

If you drive in #Bangkok you might be interested in one of my other Twitter accounts @BangkokParking. Whenever I park at a new place I always tweet about the costs and the GPS coordinates. Yes, I know, not exactly exciting. But I thought my notes might be of use to someone.

🚗 Car Park at Palladium IT Pratunam, Ratchathewi, Bangkok 10400.
💰Fees: the first 30 minutes are free. Then the first 2 hours are 20B and then it’s 30B/hour for the 3rd & 4th hours. It’s then 40B/hour after that.

The CCSA will meet on Monday at 2pm to discuss the relaxation of restrictions for things like drinking in restaurants and for the re-opening of entertainment venues. Hopefully the full re-opening of schools will also be on the table for discussion. #Thailand

I agree with Bill Heinecke. It is high time not only to make ASQ quarantine more attractive and cheaper for foreign tourists, but also to consider allowing tourists, with vaccine passports and negative tests, to stay on Samui and Phuket island. Both have international airports.
Bill Heinecke: “Quarantine is not easy. It is difficult. Thailand is the only country in the world with no drinking in the room while in ASQ quarantine. That is understandable if you are in a hospital or state quarantine, but not if you’re paying for five-star accommodation.”

Phuket is the perfect testbed for allowing vaccinated tourists who undergo rapid testing on arrival to enter the country on holidays, Bill Heinecke, founder and chairman of the Minor Group, told a seminar held yesterday https://www.thephuketnews.com/phuket-perfect-testbed-for-reopening-tourism-bill-heinecke-79087.php #Thailand #ThaiTravelNews

Don’t panic! I’m just cooking lunch. Which is a good reminder not to trust just one air sensor. If a grilled pork vendor sets up shop next to the air sensor the charcoal burning might affect the sensor. We have the same problem at school when the local council fumigates the area.
If you’re staying inside today to escape the air pollution, don’t forget that you will also need a good air purifier. My living room was classed as “unhealthy” before I turned on my Mi air purifier remotely. By the time I went downstairs it was 21.4 times better than outside.
The air quality in Greater Bangkok is not looking good today. Don’t forget to switch your #COVID19 mask to a #BangkokSmog mask if you’re going out today. As it’s classed as “very unhealthy”, everyone should avoid outdoor exercise today #ฝุ่นกรุงเทพ #ฝุ่นPM25 #ฝุ่นกทม #Thailand
