As part of my project to explore all of the #BKKcanals, the guys at @HiddenBangkok kindly invited me on a trip today to explore the canals on the Thonburi side of #Bangkok. This is a THREAD of the highlights #Thailand.
Welcome @RichardBarrow to Hidden Bangkok Boat . #hiddenbangkok #hiddenbangkokboat #Thailand #amzingthailand #canalhousebangkok
🔴 An article in the Bangkok Post newspaper today has a few more tidbits for fully vaccinated people wanting to fly to Bangkok in November without having to do qurantine. [THREAD]
🇹🇭 Bangkok prepares testing protocols as reopening looms https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/2200927/bangkok-prepares-testing-protocols-as-reopening-looms #Thailand [1/3]
🔴 Immigration is closed on Friday 22nd October for the substitution day for Chulalongkorn Day (moved from Monday). In addition, all government offices in the central region will be closed on Thursday 21st October for a special once-off holiday marking the end of Buddhist Lent.
From today until 26th October, the Government Pharmaceutical Organization will sell Antigen Test Kits (ATK) online through the website http://www.gpoplanet.com. The ATK’s are priced at 800 baht per box, which is 40 baht per kit. The online shop opens at 8am. #Thailand
I would really love to see the Thai government doing something like this for expats who have already lived here for a long time. Particularly ones who have Thai families. If they look after the expats they have now, then that will help attract the ones they want. #Thailand

The Illuminated Boat Procession is taking place now in Nakhon Phanom. Here are a few of my photos from this impressive festival. Hopefully I can go again next year. That was a good trip. Here is the photo blog: https://www.thailandphotomap.com/2019/10/16/end-of-buddhist-lent-trip-to-sakon-nakhon-and-nakhon-phanom/ #Thailand #ThaiFestival
The wax castle processions to mark the end of the Buddhist Lent will be more subdued this year, but this wax carving at Wat Phra That Choeng Chum Worawihan in Sakon Nakhon is really impressive (📷 sakonnakhon) #Thailand
Today I had my first consultation to have a tuxedo fitted. I didn’t realize how much effort goes into the making of it. I’ve only bought off the rack clothes before. So many decisions to be made and of course all of the measurements. I have to go back on Saturday for my fitting.
This is what we know so far about the re-opening of #Thailand on 1st November to fully vaccinated visitors from low-risk countries. We should get more details soon, including the list of countries. But it looks like you only have to stay in a pre-booked hotel for the first night.
