Really  , medical personnel need practice to give vaccinations doesn't give me much confidence in their abilities or was it just to be seen on tv etc .

Some people may say practice makes perfect but just not true for this country otherwise there would not be a road death toll over 20,000 every year .

It was just the normal African American B movie for me and no i am not being racist just don't like they're sense of humor and have never seen one movie that i enjoyed although some have the occasional good piece but just not enough for me and that's IMO so no need to quote me .

That's got to be a bit difficult living in LOS. Is it not? I mean how is that working out with Thai people?

As i said in my post i don't associate wit6h them so no problem for me .

Thailand has always been the land of fake from clothes , watches , jewelry etc etc that's why so many tourists came here full knowing that a lot of what was being sold in markets and on the streets was fake but was very cheap , i bought a fake Armani belt from a market back in 2007 and still using it today and very happy with it . Fake name brand golf shirts and shorts are another of my favorites and still wear them too .

I have myself noticed a marked change in my personality since moving here and my attitude has certainly changed towards locals and expats alike.

I used to be warm and fun to be around.

Now I'm aloof and a bit miserable.

People annoy me very easily and I hardly ever smile.

Not sure if that is a direct result of Living in Thailand or just getting older.

This is me now after returning here in Sept 2017 after going back home for 3 1/2 years to qualify for age pension . I stay indoors only going out to the supermarket or pharmacy , cant stand being around in laws only the step daughter and grand kids when they come visit and the wife and i well its pretty much over just waiting to be told to get out which i would do now but nowhere to go .

Such is life and i don't mind being alone its been a part of my life since i was in primary school (very short) and subject to bullies which changed as i got older and 188 cm tall in high school . These days i wont take s**t from anyone .

Not everyone wants to go to Phuket though....

Why just Phuket this can apply to the whole country .

Driving Distance: 1159.7 km , Estimated Duration: 13 hours 20 minutes if average speed speed is 87km/hr.

The short answer is ZERO - Whatever the family feels they can get away with.

Personally I didnt and wouldnt pay a penny.

 

Each to their own and their individual relationship.

When my now wife came back here after staying in Aus with me for 3 months she told her mother that we go married there and will be no wedding in Thailand hence NO SIN SOD back luck i would never pay anyway she had already been married and divorced at least once .

So another special holiday becomes a waste of time due to the second wave .

If you can get 80% + fully vaccinated by Oct 1 then sure fully open up but if not hmmmm .

Is this going to be like the so called Super Polls and maybe just have a few hundred test subjects or will they do a proper testing with thousands of people . They will probably never tell the public anything a bit like not knowing how many were being tested daily for the virus because the Worldometers site were not given any numbers for a very long time to put on their site .

The only time i spent there was changing flights at the airport on my way to Bangkok and have no intention of ever going as a tourist but that's just me .

Covid-19 will become just like the flu needing booster shots every year especially with all the variants that will keep mutating so Pharma companies need to be vigilant in updating vaccines as is done with the flu vaccines .
