  1. No contract? Here is why China is basically giving it away free so countries like Thailand can try it out on their people like test subjects but the government leaders are saying they purchased it get it where this is going?????
  2. Maybe shop around the tire size you listed are a dime a dozen finding tubes for these sizes I've never had a problem. Where do you live in Pattaya go to Soi 55 on Sukhumvit Pangyont.
  3. I see patience isn't the strong suit here this is Thailand give it time as it is being discussed in Bangkok right now. Fine dining that is good one. No one is ever happy that is part of life!
  4. That is why a committee is set up personally I think they made the right decision since the outbreak comes from illegal migrants who are being mixed in close quarters to others. In my next of the woods it is called renovations.
  5. I think that is the point he is trying to make, going through a so call agent you don't need to show funds!
  6. Talk is just talk here, if the government doesn't listen what are you going to do? Nothing! end of story!
  7. Look you damn idiot! Why wasn't you grandstanding a month or so ago when you had zero vaccine except the water the leaders were buying from Chinese. With all the donations coming in to bail Thailand out and joining Covax if one forgot you couldn't buy because you had no money and when you figure it all out Thailand was too far in back of the line to get any! This idiot is why the country has the problems it has banking all their marbles on the AZ is the reason you got the problems with the outbreak. Looking back now why don't this guy get a shovel and shovel his <deleted> somewhere else.
  8. True! sadly there are people who live here like to judge but are clueless to the reality.
  9. Old news from another old fool, extensive list now if the leaders would only apply that same standard at their own borders we wouldn't be having the outbreak.
  10. Maybe he was the one writing those fake death certificates for Joe and his buddies ???? better get a bag over his head before he starts to sing?
  11. Pile up the charges I don't think his intent was to murder the guy but this time they went a bit too far to up the ante to 2 million! In the end, it is all a show I just don't think he will do much time since I don't believe in Thailand there are jury trials he will be judge by his peers?
  12. Really? I've not seen articles but from reading other comments I got the impression they were.
  13. Are you talking foreigners or Thais? If foreigners if you use the website as suggested you should be able to get the Pfizer, the Moderna isn't available but is rumor to be coming October but as a foreigner you will have to pay for it. As far as I'm concern if the government wasn't so greedy and corrupt ALL vaccines when obtain should be FREE and for EVERYONE! Right now for the locals unless you are a front line worker or government? Thais are getting Pfizer as a booster many started with the Sino, then booster with the AZ now another booster of Pfizer.
  14. I would think the kids has been out long enough! I wonder why in the epidemic center Bangkok schools are opened? yet majority outside aren't in general many in the government schools don't even have the necessary technology to do online studies. If my daughter in-law brother is an example before the pandemic he was stupid I can only imagine after a year what he would be like if his sister wasn't on his case each day tutoring him. We were at the beach yesterday the topic of her brother came up ( 12 years old ) said he was old enough to be on his own I joked get ready in a year for those late night calls from your mother save your money you will need it. Everyone around laugh and smile agreeing " same " . Open the schools Oct 1st, why wait until the new term there is lots of making up to do!
  15. The pandemic has shined the light on this government the problem in general the average Thai have no idea how to go about making the changes their education system and culture has condition them to follow instead of lead. You remove the old piece what do you replace it with? do you take another piece from the swamp and put a new name or color to it?????
  16. Not pushing the suggestion. If there is a Will there is a way? years after my adoption another family member introduced me to a lawyer friend in Bangkok, it is a large firm across the road from the U.S. Embassy. She and the brother were raised in the U.S. speaks perfect English I've used her for a number of things and recommended to lots of people in Thailand particularly for visa matters. There is a way to by pass the parent particularly the father signature but it means going to court. Sounds scary right you know the word " abandonment " for me at least I would rather spend the money and go to court than succumb too their blackmail. Off topic there are laws on the books even in Thailand for child support never enforced due to the bias in the men judges and unless you have money to take someone to court and when it comes to the majority in general these deadbeats are rarely going to show up. I ran into a old friend we got talking he mentioned his situation that he has been caring for his Thai lady kid close to 10 years the last few been trying to gain legal custody using another lawyer in the end after close to 200,000 nothing said he could barely understand the lawyer and he was a retired lawyer himself. After I heard his story I threw out my friends name six months later I got a call said he got Thai legal custody, the mother served never showed up now the lawyer was working on a passport so he could take the girl to the U.S. and adopt her there. Shoot me a PM if you want the name.
  17. I wonder why you even got the Pfizer or any vaccine since you don't like hospital will only go when you are dead? Can't blame the dog since you got a bad case of diarrhea as for your wife don't love you maybe because you come across somewhat narrow minded and grumpy? ???? Look at it this way too, maybe what you got after the first shot you won't get anything after the second. I got my 1st just a sore arm I did here some get a slight fever next day everything is gone if I get the <deleted>s I'll let you know.????
  18. I went through the process 15 years ago I first started with a lawyer but a 3rd in the process I got a call from the agency after the conversation thereafter I let the lawyer go and allowed the agency to complete the process the reason they convince me I was wasting my time with the lawyer and since my plan was to adopt and live in Thailand they would do it for Free! As noted by another poster there is an office up from Monument Road I can't remember the name but I call it myself government road it is a red brick building on the right. Even if you have it in Thai which I did I walked up and ask a number of others and people seem to know and pointed it to me. You are thinking will I be able to communicate I thought all those working there are some of the best English speaking Thais I have ever met so if it is the same you shouldn't have a problem. When I was still using a lawyer I remember I needed to go to the U.S. Embassy for something maybe some clearance, also when in Bangkok I had to go to the Police HQ and get a criminal clearance that I didn't have a record in Thailand. I was also required to obtain a police history from my home town you can just go down to your City police department and get one. What was just pointed out wasn't isn't in order. Then the process it took a bit over a year I hear now it might take longer. I live in Pattaya, then the first requirement was you need to have lived in Thailand for six month straight before applying. They ask for financial records like bank accounts here and abroad if applicable, pensions etc future projection like Social security basically they want to know if you have enough funds. Since my son never knew his father passed away before he was born we had to go up to the village in which he passed and obtain the death certificate. Him dying was a benefit since many stories I hear if the father just took off still alive getting a release might be tough some I hear although gone for year once they hear the wife has a new foreign man hold the process up blackmailing. I remember having to go down to Chon Buri and doing a interview with some government guy then having to pay him to put a noticed newspaper? announcing the adoption to the public so anyone can contest? Then I got a home visit from a car load from the Bangkok office purpose was to see where you live is the home and environment suitable we showed them paper of the school he was enrolled and they did a short interview with our son. Once the agency took over actually went much faster we got calls with instructions each time anything was needed or we needed to make a visit. Oh backtrack a bit, they also requested recommendation from one family and close friend basically something about yourself I and the wife was ask to write something about ourselves. In the end, a bit over a year we got a call from the agency to come to Bangkok for the final interview when we were there I notice lots of other foreigner majority of them were adopting but taken them to their home country. In our interview there were like 10 people majority of them I had already seen from the home visit they were all smiling ( good sign ) it was more like a family gathering lots of questions and comments from the panel. Then they ask me to leave 10 minutes later I was called back into the room I noticed many of the panel were crying? I ask if there was a problem they just said after talking to my son ( then 7 ) how much he loves you I first held him when he was 6 months old. We left pretty confident the adoption would be approved months later we got a call that it was approved and the final documents would be mail, I had everything translated during the process including the final approval make copies even laminated. Today my son is 22 years old working and has his own family I and the wife babysit daily with our lovely granddaughter. Good luck!
  19. I'm in the same boat got all new stuff for my granddaughter for May, pay money tuition no word that money is going to be refunded or reduced got the shoes, socks then announced closed. I put them out a few weeks ago price tag 100 baht per pair snap up in seconds by a Thai even they are in the same boat?????
  20. All is good in the end you got your vaccine that is the most important thing. Stay safe and enjoy!
  21. Not sure about the other vaccine like Sinovac, Sinopham and AZ, but as you noted government backed website if you are a foreigner and your choice is Pfizer when you check in they scroll through the pages to look for your visa at least that was in my case for the Pfizer. When I was resting after my first shot, a number of Brits or Aussie were next to me one guy was asking why his friend got the Pfizer and he got the AZ, from the conversation the one that got the AZ was only on a Tourist and was extending it since he didn't want to go home?
