I just wonder from where the blame is being shifted. It can't be from the government as they have never accepted any responsibility for anything that was not a wonderous achievement.

If you do come you can easily make a small fortune. Just make sure you are starting with a large one. And be prepared to pay a ton for medical, no matter whether the private or state. The state hospitals have a policy of multiplying the standard charge by up to to 3 fold for us farang. And medical insurance has a limit depending upon how high a premium you are prepared to pay.

I recall the question posed to farangs on arrival to Thailand forty years back. How do you become a millionaire in Thailand ? Come with many million !

One point that the Thai people in general fail to appreciate that in many cases it is not the foreigner who ends up paying. Those of us who have a family here will, when we die, leave to that Thai family whatever is left in our estate. They will end up the loosers. I have recently needed a CT scan at a government hospital. When booking the scan, we were told that it would cost Baht 17,000 but to bring a total of Baht 25,000 to cover total costs. The bill charged turned out to be Baht 29,000 for the scan with the total coming over Baht 50,000.

Which planet are their script writers inhabiting ?

But when will 70% of the population be vaccinated ? The figures referred to in the seventh paragraph highlight the lack of clarity in the governments information releases or the clarity in the reporting of them. It does seem that most organisations in the world, be they national, global or scientific sources, believe that not just two shots of one type of vaccine will provide the necessary protection. Has the government considering how they can cater for the multi-sourced vaccines in order to protect Thais against all variants ? And if they wish for social freedom for Thais in Thailand the need to include all non-Thais.
