Never understood the obsession with BBQ's..........................especially in your own backyard, 10m from a perfectly good kitchen,

In your own backyard, 10m from a perfectly good kitchen, in a national park?

What are they talking about? What annoyance to other visitors at tent areas? Why would other visitors visit tent areas other than camping themselves? How many people camping do not barbecue or cook food without making some smoke? No one does. It's the whole charm with camping.

Considering camping in Thailand has become a very popular way of holiday among Thais in recent years, this isn't going to be received well, especially considering the vast majority of camping areas in Thailand are in national parks.

I don't think most Thai worry about the MP's salaries, they worry about the top ups from other areas !

No, they worry about their own salary. 10-15k a month in BKK is rough nowadays, even for Thais. The avg. salary in BKK is twice that. Makes you wonder if it's even worth risking your life when you could take better care of your family financially doing something else.

I registered a month ago or so and I am today being asked to pay (pre-pay, Thonburi Healthcare Group, THG), is this that batch or is this a new batch of vaccines?

Very confusing as I read news yesterday about the gov't (?) ordering Moderna and an identical number of vaccines to what was already "ordered" months ago. Is this the same or whats going on?

Here in udon it seems like there's still a ban on serving alcohol, but there are plenty of restaurants and bars outside city center that has been serving for weeks. However, the interest from the locals seems to be pretty dull, as I've yet to see any of the places crowded (half full at best, but mostly just 2-4 tables), despite some of them otherwise being very popular places and always overcrowded, and yes rumors here spread like wildfire. "Everyone" knows they're fully open and serving, yet not that many want to go. Its not like Thais suddenly became law-abiding citizens, not even the police are, as they're allowing them to serve alcohol, but people here, young and old, instead invite friends and family over for party, which I can hear everyday nowadays. 5, 10, 20 people... walk through the villages, there's parties everyday.

I see he decided to wait for the better stuff, meanwhile down here in Phuket unless you have a work permit you can't even register for a vaccine, no hospital, private or other will accept you and no app either. Unless anyone knows better?

Thonburi Healthcare Group (THG) has been open for passport registration in the LINE app for the Moderna vaccine already for some days.

My wife and I registered 4-5 days ago. I registered just 5 minutes after her and there was already over 30,000 people in between us. We're around 400,000 in the queue.

THG has scheduled for the vaccination to begin October 1.

No other requirements than name, DoB, phone number and ID/Passport nr. No address or anything. They will call you or ask you in the LINE app.

Google and look for the QR code to add THG as a friend in the LINE app, or add THG manually.

Ask a Thai person to help you, though most are in English, but not everything (including questions about underlying illnesses), but it's very straight forward and takes less than 2 minutes.

I really hate this "They are each as bad as the other" narrative.

Nothing justifies firing 1,750 M302 missiles at cities, farming communities, and other civilian targets, full of innocent Jews, Arabs, Christians and, so tragically, these two Thais.



This is an act of pure evil, long-planned and driven by internal Palestinian political considerations. It has nothing to do with the Temple Mount or a handful of justified evictions ordered by a civil court, not the nation of Israel. The ability of the Israelis to destroy most - but not all! - of these missiles is irrelevant. This is a crime against humanity.

Supposed liberals in the West who try to gloss over the enormity of what the unelected Hamas dictatorship are doing are, themselves, complicit in this evil.
 

No one's justifying anything, nor are people saying they're equally as terrible. There's two immoral governments, one is less evil than the other, but none of them are good. There's a reason why Europe have had a sour relationship with Israel since the Israeli Mossad terrorism attacks in Europe. They haven't changed a bit, often takes part on the opposite side of the table, constantly talks <deleted> about western Europe and gives support to extremist leaders, like the Hungarian Victor Orban and other opponents just to stir up conflict. Despite this, Israel still receive support from Europe, since Hamas is the worst of the two evils.

You saying it's the Israeli court's decision to evict these Palestinians is just you being ignorant. It has clearly been on the Israeli government's agenda for decades to expand territory and remove the Palestinians, who have lived there for over a thousand years.

They're waiting on the locally produced supply of the AZ vaccine that's supposed to start becoming available in June.

 

Let's hope you're right and that there won't be more delays and setbacks in the rollout of non-Chinese vaccines.

Seems like Sinovac is the only vaccine used in Thailand at the moment as the AZ has been standing on 115,000 for a while now, if I don't remember incorrectly.

Perhaps they should deploy the fleet of 'Smart BMWs' to catch him.

 

We have 1000's of police dedicated to arresting foreigners and potentially putting them in prison for what amounts to a misdemeanor (overstay) yet they allow someone like this (also a foreigner) to remain free.

 

I wonder how wealthy this guy is.

 

 

This is a photo of him from just a few month ago roaming freely around on Koh Phangan. You judge, does this guy look wealthy to you?

All i can say is that is what my partner told me and she is in Surin. Unfortunately i'm stuck in the UK at the moment looking to be back in October one way or the other.

Glad to see things looking a lot brighter in the UK. I looked yesterday and wow just a couple of thousand cases. What a difference from last time I looked. If that continues you will most likely be able to come months before that. Didn't the Thai gov't say no quarantine from July 1 if you've been vaccinated?
