Vaccinated people are less likely to be infected by covid so if you do get infected by somebody it is much more likely from somebody who is unvaccinated.

From the article you posted : Although fully vaccinated people were less likely to contract an infection, when they did — what’s known as a breakthrough infection — they can transmit the Delta variant at a similar level as unvaccinated people.

He said that not being vaccinated was a person's basic human right. You can't force anyone to be vaccinated. 

 

But equally he felt that owners of businesses and those offering services to the public were within their rights to serve who they wished in order to protect themselves, their other staff and their other customers.

Personally speaking I am double vaccinated, but am also of the opinion that the first part of the above is correct meaning you should not be forced into being vaccinated it is a personal choice, & vaccinated people can carry the virus just the same as unvaccinated people. 

I agree that business people should have the right to serve who they want and not be pressured into doing so by any government decree 

All this will achieve is driving people to "Do their own thing" and to hell with what the government want to impose

Thailand’s economic engines may not be as strong as they previously were, the central bank governor said on Thursday, as the country’s vital tourism industry has been severely hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Not wishing to rub salt into the wounds but you know exactly who to thank for this situation, Mr. bumble and his cohorts who think they are doing a sterling job ........LOL

Play the game take the knocks ...............

In response to the PM's comment I think it is he who should stop being so selfish and allow the restaurants to sell alcohol in Pattaya and stop hogging the business in government preferred places like Bangkok & Phuket

actually he is correct in that every child should learn to swim, it should be mandatory ....  as for the language I have always said schools MUST make english a requirement.  A child that can speak English has a far better opportunity to travel and advance in life through career prospects, than one that can't. 

Unfortunately I think what he really means is - Bangkok is sinking so best learn to swim

& secondly learn Chinese as you will in the not too distant future be speaking it ..............

I would dearly love to say something but would definitely be banned from this forum - the only thing I can say unfortunately is R.I.P Nong Bas I hope somewhere down the line you get justice.

Since the flooding in October, she said that the birds have taken to roosting on the roof of her house and their droppings emit a foul odour, making living in the house almost intolerable.

Possibly not the best promotion for selling the property ...................LOL

I would say I'm surprised if I were .........................LOL

Don't believe everything you read, the amount he had was reported to be 30grams no KG ..................LOL

Try opening the bars ......................LOL

Obviously the methamphetamines causing the problems, the marijuana would normally make him relaxed .....

Who said there will be no flooding this year or did he mean special areas in Bangkok ................LOL

Interesting, I read recently that once the existing stocks of Chinese vaccine had run out there would be no more, yet here we are....more on the way.

You beat me to it, shouldn't be too surprised I suppose at least he is consistent - He never tells the truth

Made my day .................LOL

More dependence on China, selling Thailand down the line ....Sad!!

concerned about the significant increase of daily infections and clusters, especially those possibly caused by people marking the holiday “untraditional” with alcohol or parties.

It is traditional for Thai people to congregate in clusters, stop using alcohol as the main cause as it is not the case, if Thailand persists in this idiotic witch hunt all they will succeed in doing is driving it underground which will make the police happy (more tea money) but a big overall problem for the government.

Thailand to target ‘quality’ tourists and first timers.

So they expect that the tourists will only come one time to Thailand than?

No they want the first timers as they will be easier to rip off than people who have been before and know all of the scams .....................LOL
