50 minutes ago, webfact said:“We don’t have the personnel to inoculate millions in a quick amount of time, it will become a logistical issue next,” the source told Thai Enquirer on condition of anonymity.
but... But... BUT...
wasn't it only yesterday that the deputy director of the Department of Disease Control INSISTED that... and I quote... "at least 500,000 people could be jabbed each day nationwide and up to one million"?

I paid a visit to the posh new Thai Rak Thai Party headquarters when it opened on New Petchburi Road while Thaksin was in power. It was surreal, to say the least.
The whole length of the main hallway walls were hung with a gallery of Thaksin pictures. At the far end stood a life-sized mock-up of him surrounded by small altars decorated with flowers and candles.
Then there was the "Thaksin Library", choke-full with books allegedly authored by him - and on every subject imaginable. "He must've spent a fortune on ghostwriters," was my first reaction.
I thought this personality cult quite unsettling, reminiscent of what is practiced in North Korea or Turkmenistan.
Now... just imagine the Thai Rak Thai successor party, Pheua Thai, would've dedicated a "Yingluck Library". It would've brimmed with titles like:
- "My Life with Burberry Wellingtons"
- "The 101 of Daily Business Luncheons"
- "How to Head a Family Business Without Actually Knowing Anything About Business"
- "The Puppet and the Master - a Novel Centered on Montenegro"
Yes, she was removed by an illegal coup d'etat. Nobody is disputing that, and it is indeed a deplorable and criminal to remove a democratically elected government in such a way.
Yet... instead of standing up to the junta Yingluck opted to do a cowardly runner just like her brother. If she had stayed, maybe - just maybe - things would look differently today and Mr. P and his cronies would've long gone.
That she now deflects from her responsibility for the disastrous rice subsidy scheme only goes to show her lack of class. May I remind everybody: Though being chairwoman of the committee that oversaw and directed that subsidy program, she did NOT ONCE attend a meeting. Moreover, she KNEW that several ministers in her cabinet filled their pockets by siphoning off subsidy funds. yet she did nothing!
And Thaksin himself... well, he had absolutely no scruples sacrificing his own sister so he could pull the strings from behind the curtain (or rather, from abroad).

1 hour ago, webfact said:When it is in full swing he estimated that at least 500,000 people could be jabbed each day nationwide and up to one million.
Now juxtapose the above statement with:
1 hour ago, webfact said:Two million doses will be available this week. Eight million by the end of June.
Even under the best of circumstances (i.e. 1 million jabs per day), those vaccines will last for 8 days (if only 1 jab is administered. And let's not forget: Everyone needs 2 jabs to become immunized.
That effectively means that by the end of June a maximum of 8 million people (i.e. just a little over 10% of the population) will have received their first shot.
If "the pace will pick up" as the article notes, it will have to pick up a helluva lot if the time line of "4 to 6 months" to fully vaccinate a nation of 70 million people is to be observed.
Under the fictional scenario that enough doses are readily available for 70 million people, it will take at least 70 days right from the start (June 7) to administer the first shot, then another 70 days to get the second. That already puts the time line much closer to 6 months than the dreamed-up 4 months. If nothing goes wrong.
If there is only 1 single hiccup in securing a continuous supply of vaccines (and there will be!), the entire scheme is going to collapse like a house of cards.

Thank goodness she didn't accompany that gesture by a "wiggle walk" or a "flip-flop shuffle". That would've been REALLY bad!

As a Caucasian, I am deeply offended by the racism that I am subjected to almost every day here in Thailand. But I'll get over it.

The only time I ever really got stranded anywhere was in 1994... in a bar in Phnom Penh while there was gunfighting going on outside.
On the other hand, while I haven't seen my family back in the old country in almost two years, I don't feel "stranded" in Thailand at all.

2 hours ago, Jonathan Fairfield said:The man told local media that he was hired for 3,000 baht ($96) to drive the truck to the border and that he was not aware there were monkeys in the back of the vehicle.
Freakin' liar.
If I were hired to drive any vehicle that is obviously loaded with a consignment of unknown goods to a border area (i.e. a border crossing), first thing I'd want to know is what exactly is stacked in the back. Could be drugs. Could be weapons. Could be illegal wildlife. I could get myself into real trouble if caught.
He knew exactly what he was transporting. But money once again took precedence over ethics and morals.
But now he has the opportunity to prove that he still has a tiny bit of human dignity left and reveal who hired him. But I bet he will only cough up some run-of-the-mill nickname, claiming he had never met that person before.
Who in their right mind accepts to transport goods of a totally unknown nature for a total stranger?
I find this wildlife trafficking trade disgusting! It makes me so angry that I cannot even express it in words.
Look at the OP pic and watch the video. It's heartbreaking.

How many decades has he been in the police force?
And he has no clues as to what needs fixing and must ask "the people" for suggestions?
Get real.

If there is nothing to hide and everything were transparent and "kosher", there would be no need for such an amendment. Hence, there can be only one conclusion.

"The CSD police are continuing an investigation to identify the businessman who ordered the smuggling operation, although the unnamed Chinese national is believed to be operating from overseas and not in Thailand."
Go for the locals then. Should be easy to track back by interrogating the driver.
Somebody caught these monkeys, somebody packed them into the crates, somebody loaded them onto the truck.
And I bet there is a very close "associate" of this mysterious "Chinese businessman" right here in Thailand. All these little helpers had to be hired, had to be paid.
My second bet is that the local associate at the very bottom of this disgusting trade is doing this at grand scale - and has been doing this for years. Somebody has become very, very wealthy by engaging in this.
Also don't forget the local police and officials that are involved. A large illegal wildlife trafficking operation such as this cannot stay completely under the radar for long.
Everybody's been making dirty money. And everybody should pay for it!

I wonder whether he runs his construction business the same way he runs his health ministry portfolio -- with lots of delays, unavailable materials, and excuses, excuses, excuses.

1 hour ago, internationalism said:some 11 were found dead and 14 in critical condition.
They should be charged with killing.
Tip of an iceberg, run by officials.
That case was discovered by an outside unit. Locals are all in it
Unfortunately, you are right. And nothing will ever change as long as there is money to be made. The only true religion of all too many people.

The Chinese were flustered when the world came to call that nasty critter the "Chinese virus" or the "Wuhan flu".
While the rest of the world addressed the horse by its name and called the UK variant the... uhm... "UK variant", the English themselves preferred to call it the "Kent variant".
And now the Thai government has just announced that they detest the "Thai variant" to be called such, and that it should instead be called the "Egyptian variant".
The "Indian variant" itself is still known as such... but perhaps only because the Indian government can be a little slow sometimes. Will be interesting to see how THEY are going to deflect.
I still say it should be collectively called the "Chinese virus", for that's where it originated. And I don't give a toss how "flustered" Xi Jin-ping and his comrades may be over it.
However, I am rather surprised that this virus seems to have such extraordinary longevity. Usually, anything that comes out of China only lasts around three months before breaking down or becoming malfunctional.

Or maybe it moved to the United Kingdom BECAUSE of the alcohol ban and entertainment venue closures here in Thailand.

Here is how it usually works:
- Participants will announce a 90% discount* on a broad range of items or services.
- Note the little asterisk.
- A footnote in tiny font will then inform prospective customers that "only a strictly limited number" of these goods or services will be sold at that fantastic discount "as long as stocks last."
- The rest will be peddled at the regular price.

And here is the true reason why these Nigerian scammers (and their Thai accomplices) find such bountiful hunting grounds here:
"Gray would continue to talk to the victim constantly until gaining trust from the victim before claiming that he wanted to send many valuable items to the victims but they needed to pay for various fees throughout the delivery."
It's the sheer greed of those "victims". It's got nothing to do with love. I suppose that a good lot of these "victims" themselves would not spare a second thought of eventually stripping "Mr. Lanny Gray" of his last shirt if they got the chance -- and if only he were real.
If you're starting out a "love relationship" by willingly paying a person you've never met face-to-face god knows how much for "various fees" in order to take possession of "many valuable items" you've already shown your true face.
Equating "love" with "valuable gifts" is a deplorable basis for forging a romantic relationship.
I, for one, have absolutely no sympathy nor empathy for these "victims".

Yes, from China. It's perfectly safe and far superior to all the other vaccines out there. Or so their propaganda machine seems to constantly claim.
