Nothing new here hidden in the change of name from Sandbox Freedom? " The New Norm " that is the catch? Now you got to meet all the Sandbox requirements come Dec 1st, all those requirement will now be the " New Norm "????????

Since many of the factories are being shut down due to outbreaks there is now a shortage of hair dye. Hopefully due to this fact there might be less B.S. interviews each day?????????

Not sure if the ops is asking for the company he owns? or just a curious employee? nevertheless something is missing here? With all these questions if the owner of company hasn't contacted a lawyer it should, and if they already have a lawyer get a new one. ????

The article doesn't say anything that most of us already know? HOPE! ???? O.K. I will get my pom pom out and celebrate this news!????

Continue the useless policy! Instead of pro-active testing and following protocol it is let them freely in do as they please then if a outbreak happens close! That has been the solution the last few months maybe it is time to re-think or resign the continue outbreak in Chon Buri is due to one person look in the mirror governor!

That is the problem where do you drain the water too? you are right is there a nearby dam/reservoir NO! Anyone that is curious when they put in the sidewalk could see you don't just pack sand and then lay bricks on top when it rains the water falls through the cracks between each brick creating a million little tunnel sooner or later the castle falls picture show just that. After the last rain on beach road I noted for someone to tell the Jomtien folks to stop what they are doing near the far end! Also all the water from Sukhumvit ( your high points ) runs down toward the beach at a number of points particular the two main roads leading down to the beach are drain pipes when it gets to the beach it drains into a large black tube under the sand into the sea when it rains and high tide no where for the water to drain after it goes into the man holes drains on the beach thus it back flows out and on to the road. If one go off the sidewalk and step down on to the beach you will noticed on the other side of the cement wall hundreds of small little PVC blue pipes from under the sidewalk drains dumping water into the sand which undermines the cement structure walkway. I've watch this technology throughout Pattaya for over ten years you should see what they do on the Darkside?????

I think if prior to buying your ticket online especially with the airline take a look at the different prices for the same flights, click on the rules and regulation and it should note what you are getting? It should include more miles if applicable cancellation charges and length of ticket use paying more will give you some flexiability in cancellation charges and greater length of the ticket.

I don't think anyone really has the exact answer it changes daily with each vaccine and if there is more variants? I remember data suggesting one year for Pfizer and Moderna that was before the Delta came around. Would be safe for me to say that is the reason we got vaccines like Pfizer due to warp speed since it takes years before a vaccine is approved we got it in record time red tape cut which I would assume not all the normal data would be available like length. As time goes and goes each month they test and now they are suggesting boosters everything I read suggested at some point it would be necessary just a bit earlier than expected. ????

If you got to wait as noted make an outing out of it, whenever I have to go to the U.S. Embassy I could drive but I enjoy taking the bus from Pattaya, once done, I go for two or three hours massages ( good for the circulation ) especially it if ends happy???? in your situation then go back and pick up your passport you be surprise time fly's if the 1st time it ended happy get yourself a cheap room, take a shower, a nice dinner, and repeat the next morning you are fresh to do the drive. As you noted you got no one if even you do? you got a build in excuse you are old, tired, why rush home enjoy yourself it works for me.

For me I was told if you become more entrenched into the Thai culture and the type that has their eyes opened and not with tunnel vision it will eventually get to you? I know guys living here have a very narrow view of life, they eat western, play western, socialize western live on the Darkside and in town bars, girls, drink that is it. If that is the case you luckily narrow to how much you get bashed but if one isn't as lucky that is why whenever you log on to Asean or majority of Forums in regards to Thailand you read and will see majority have a negative view or as many say bashing of Thais. No one including me came to Thailand wanting to feel like that but after a while the constant beating bashing it wears on a person it doesn't mean we hate the place or its people I'm glad Asean is around to let up vent and express ourselves. That is pretty much the same where ever one is the grass is never greener some where else????? Whenever the pressure gets to me I'm just happy to have choices one of them is going out eating western, then visit a number of A/C gogos and relax and view the steaks like in a butcher shop? Should I have a steak or go cheap for a hamburger?????

Thought I give everyone an update on my situation regarding Hyundai H-1, as noted I was having a tough time getting a look at one of the H-1 model and that was for a reason? Before I get to my story I and my Thai son did as suggested go on Facebook and other research forum to get some consumer feedback on the H-1 Van, majority of the feedback were positive and service and parts were reliable although they don't have a large stake in the market nor a factory in Thailand. I pretty much looked at the van models particularly the Toyota majority of them were imported from Japan thus the reason the cost although I could afford it being old school I just couldn't see buying something at that price when I could buy two homes for the price they were asking they were nice but not nice enough to justify the money. So, let get it on, I wrote to Hyundai HQ in Thailand and to my surprise I was contacted back after the weekend by an English speaking saleperson the reason I wasn't able to see any H-1 models was because they were all being recalled throughout the country since the new model the Staria was coming out. When I visited the dealer down the road from my home Banglamung they had now 3 new models starting price 1,799,000 - 1,999,000 this was the next generation models there were some plus and minus compare to the older H-1 models to be honest being old school or just old the damn thing didn't even need a key to start up nor did it have a transmission shift everything was push button and digital Hell NO! The new model had lots to offer but also didn't have some of the things I like in the H-1. One thing they do know is how to market the product teasing you to look but when you do the lower end models didn't have much but their website or brochure don't indicate it. I left thinking a bit more than I wanted to spend plus I like the seating configuration the older H-1 model provided. So I contacted Hyundai HQ again to see whether they would sell me one of the older H-1 the answer was yes but I would need to go into Bangkok but it was suggested I could go to Y-tube to view all the older models. The older H-1 models starting price was 1,300,000 that was really basic for 200,000 more I moved up to the Elite 1,5000,000, I was nearly sold until told no screen to watch yourself backup and no T.V for my granddaugter, side door need to be manual closed so next up with 1,700,000 another 200,000 I would get nearly all I needed. So from there went back down to the Hyundai dealer and spoke to the saleperson and told him I contacted the HQ and if he was willing I rather order a older model after a bit of negotiation I ended up with the H-1 Deluxe model 1,729,000 more than I expected to pay but with a bit of negotiation and saying it is an outdated model I was actually doing them a favor, so I made an offer 1,700,000 and they throw in all the bells and whistle insurance, custom floor mats, rain screens for the side windows, door handle guards and tinted windows 60-40 one problem they didn't have it in white my favorite color it only left was dark chocolate brown. Picked it up August 12th, mother day the wife was super happy we since have done a number of cruises around town to the beach everyone loves it. My daughter in law 90 plus Kilos has her own space and leg room she sweats just sitting always complaining A/C isn't strong enough to reach her now she is in heaven. My granddaughter every time we go out points at the van she now wander all over the Van can't decide where she should sit or sleep? It is like a mobile home? Just waiting for everyone to get vaccinated and the country opens up so we take it up to her farm. ????

Since no one is going to tell you I will! Good Will what f good will, first you started this whole mess and yet your are selling it to other countries as for Thai you have done very little while other countries have stepped in and help with their outbreak yet when you donated only gave enough vaccine to your own citizen here in Thailand 100,000 doses of junk! Recently to not look bad finally donated 50 million baht, that is chicken feed based on your economy and size should have done much more this is just an example prior to the pandemic every time there is a problem in the world earthquake etc.. the donation doesn't even register it is a real insult to everyone including your own country who want to lead the world. What a <deleted> joke! As far as I'm concern the next time the CCP gathers a fully loaded equipped drone needs to be deployed. ????????

This is old news even if it wasn't the good Dr. has zero power to push it through prior to the Sept 1st it was brought up and shot down quickly even his peers know it isn't going to work they can't even enforce the curfew. Maybe he is trying to get attention or a promotion who knows with these guys obviously he hasn't gotten the earlier memo. ???? Dr. go back to signing those fake death certificates!

"Not final" there you go the announcement is just for show, look how old the dude is guess he was prime to take the fall lost of pension for two years he isn't worry the Red Bull family has or will more than make up the shortage!???????? This case isn't going anywhere except in circles.

Thanks thereafter I did do more of a search there isn't lots of data on the testing but what so far seem promising. I got a email last night from a friend who just went to England, prior got a shot of AZ here in Thailand after his quarantine he was given a shot of the Pfizer. Based on research the W.H.O. said " under condition " shortage Thailand certainly fills that requirement.

Must be? they copy and follow everything else guess they just miss this one?????????

It is a complex with the Brits in general I think! Never knew until I got here 15 years ago they in general seem to have a problem. They are good people but for whatever reason some come across as if their <deleted> don't stink! ???? Maybe they should just get over that people for a long time just don't see them as Great Brit any longer. Tea anyone!

Is it any surprise the Thai leadership isn't going to bad mouth the Chinese, good will now that is another laugh they are still selling the water and the Thais are still buying at the expense of their own people while the top guys all got the American donated Pfizer as boosters. Good Will! W.H.O. their connection to China, no one else has endorsed the Sinovac as far as I know along with the Sputnick! Testing what testing?

Sino isn't recognized in many countries? then it is useless without your name etc and in English especially in the West. Nevertheless, wait a few weeks hope the immunity builds then when you feel safe go get that Happy Ending?????

Everyone outside of Thailand been doing a few months after the outbreak in early 2020, Testing, social distance, to maintain production add shifts to 24/7 this was recommended prior to any vaccine. I guess you guys never got the memo!????

I've not seen or heard of any study in regards to AZ with Moderna or Pfizer but did see Moderna with Pfizer AZ is a different vaccine than Moderna or Pfizer MRNA. Interesting when it comes to the Thai leaders I don't think they are going to let go with the AZ since they got so much invested in it! Seem they are playing a bit of a mind game with their population?

I got my second shot yesterday at Medpark, 1st doses nothing but a sore arm, the second shot 6 hours later I felt a bit funny, just felt I was coming down with something a bit of a headache arm started to get sore but no fever morning my back was killing me which is the case whenever I feel a flu is coming. I had a tough time during the day walking bending finally went to my regular massage 3 hours later I was like new.

I kind of wonder if the student really understand their own government not that I feel they shouldn't it is actually a bit refreshing to see new faces than the same people using different colors. This guy from day never had any experience whatsoever he was handed picked for one because he was military, second a loyal subject of the late HM. Putting him in place was to create stability and it has definitely done the job it was predictable based on their history and culture. If one thinks hard there is nothing in his history to suggest he and he alone could have pull this off the reshuffle of the government and rules was to insure he got elected. The key was when the restructure documents were in place he didn't approve it he brought it to the palace that should be a big clue. You watch him when he became in charge he has been fine groom every speech and appearance are well plan out when you are getting rich beyond anything he ever imagine and all you got to do is let others pull the string why would he step down over a few thousands protestor for what how he handle the pandemic? this has been going on since 2014 protest now if he does step down does anyone has a Plan B, who are you going to put in charge is there enough clarify students to replace the entire SWAMP that the PM swims with daily! But I guess you got to start somewhere?????

While they were worrying about the foreigners coming in which required a lot work they forgot about one thing? Their own they were trying to vaccine their residents in Phuket but forgot the rest of the population once they heard it was opening guess where everyone who wanted a job headed majority unvaccinated the reason the government stop travel into Phuket?

Scratching their heads! Everyone told you so you bunch of idiots but I guess this is a good excuse to continue lining your pockets before you guys start over again can you go down to Jomtien and tell them to stop what they are doing! ???? people given a job that has zero experience all due to family ties.
