    Since I spend most of my time in Isaan—I can tell you why so many Provinces have low vaccination rates.  Up until about one week ago, these people had only SinoVac as a first shot.  And up until about six weeks ago, they were offered only SinoVac for both shots.  It doesn’t take a rocket scientists to understand the government tried to use up SinoVac on the Isaan people. They worried only about the "tourism provinces".

    ..... may I add: and other REMOTE Provinces; i.e. Mae Hong Son!  I, as a falang, was excluded at all. If I would have needed  the vaccine/s urgently, I had to go to the private hospitals in Chiang Mai (4 hours by car! and CM a dark red zone).

     

    Now it's changing  (I guess, after  an "overwhelming" delivery of better and redundant vaccines).

     

    Today I had a nice talk with the young and open minded director of our amphoe hospital.

    You really think every country in the world ruined their economy so a couple of companies can make a few tens of billions? ????

     

    The economic damage is well into the trillions world wide. Forbes put it at $24 Trillion back in February this year so it's far more than that.

     

    @Ukrules; sorry this is a misunderstanding. Maybe I didn't make it clear, that my remark

    [quote]Toward the end of his remarks, he asked people who cannot swim to learn, claiming that he has taught children how to swim. He said that, if you know how to float on water, you will never drown and people will help you, but “if you drown you will die”. He also suggested that Thai people should exercise and study two languages to survive.[/quote]

     

    you have to study at least 10 years in the milirary highschool :smile:

    Seems to me that AN has become a real laugh a minute forum. Every time I read it something even more ridiculous has been reported.

    Never mind, we all need to laugh about something these gloomy days.

    Warning:

    in the future they will collect 200 Baht if you are laughing or taking photos in the Khao-San-Road.

    He might however find it difficult to even book a hotel room in Geneva without a Swiss Covid certificate (besides not being allowed in any other place), so he would have to sleep on the couch in the Embassy of Thailand in Bern.

    Sleeping on the couch?? Impossible, hmmm ..... because of the damage to the couch (look at the black coloured hairs .....)

    Could the relevant agency for the 90 day online reporting system first. I called the hotline the other day and told them I have not been able to use it since January. They said "Yeah it's a big problem". I guess we know who is the priority.  

    I think it's better to tell every IO-officer, that the 90-day reporting is an absolutely waste. Stop this idiotic order as soon as possible. Ask them, how many culprits did they catch because of this reporting? And most important: tell the officers, they should report this to all IO-officers in the line up. 

     

    They should feel and learn that the falangs don't like stupid and needless reports.

  7. Mr. Prayut, put the foot into your own arXh!

    Your typical military style: the bureaucrats should do or correct something, but you don't give them any concrete details (because of ignorance and imcompetence).

     

    You should already think in advance, before you are giving orders. But this presumes competence. Of course, a MP cannot know all, but his advisers should have this quality (to fill the holes of normal ignorance). 

     

    Yes , that is a sign of competence for "leaders" of a government to have chosen quality staff, and not minions or boot lickers. You are only a leader in an abnormal bureaucracy.

     

    MP, look at other countries and order only what is essential to protect your country against covid (as here already mentioned):

    • vaccinated 2x against covid
    • PCR-test from the country of origin, because you need it already for your plane, bus, train etc. (no big time difference between leaving and arriving! in Thailand).
    • do something against farangs who let their medical bills unpayed. Then we don't need to show the health insurence document. It worked all the time before your military coup and, crazily, Thailand and its medical care didn't go bankrupt.

    Othwerwise, please take an injection against inco.......e).

  8. Prayut's thoughts don't go more than to the end of a table. In genral, it is a good idea to replace the vaccine by pills, if effective. But it has to be appoved by science if effective.

     

    But replacing the vaccines by the pills has a lot of consequences. Can the pills against covid replace all the laws and orders concerning the necessary (double) anti-covid vaccines? I.e., if you go to the haircutter, leaving the province or the Thai country, going into the pub or a bar, reducing the distance to the neighbor sitting in a bus, train or anywhere in the publich area???

     

    The list goes on .... and the cheating will do so, too.

     

    Officer/police in the airport: "Where is your required vaccination document?"

    Answer: "Pfizer’s Paxlovid or Merck’s Molnupiravir COVID, don't need the vaccines."

    Officer: "Show me the pills!"

    Answer: "Are at home".

     

    Officer confused. Everbody can say this (unapproved). And that can (will) reduce the covid pandemie???

     

    I guess , Prayut did not yet think about these consequences in the bureaucracy.

     

     

     

  9. Many years ago, when I had a yearly flight to Thailand, I used EMIRATES from DUS in Germany. Stop over in Dubai. Good quality and not expensive.

     

    Yes I've read many times that Qatar Air is excellent. My problem, it doesn't fly to DUS, but to FRA. Not so comfortable for me.

    Anyone booking on the thai pass to travel very soon now is just nuts - or desperate. If you've waiting 18 months like me and many others, you're ok to wait a few more weeks or a month to wait for the desperate to iron it out, help fix it just or collapse it

    We planned to go to Germany during the Northern smoky saison of the coming year. Will not happen under this idiotic conditions of the military Thai government. It's only interest is to MAKE MONEY out of this pandemie. What a shame.

    We have time to wait, too.

    Somewhat misleading report.  As of 2 days ago (28 Oct) 42% of the entire population is fully vaccinated and 17% have 1 vaccination.  One month ago these figures were 30% and 17%.  Each day, +1% of the population is being vaccinated putting it at the top of the world for the past 2 weeks.  The rollout to 12-17 year olds is moving ahead nicely.  103M jabs have been administered thus far.  Thailand has made good progress in the last two months with plans to exceed 70% by mid December.
    The opening to tourists is focused primarily on the fully vaccinated.  
    Given how the tourism industry has been decimated, moving ahead carefully at this time seems good for the people of Thailand.  It's not without some risks, but many steps have been taken.

    It seems you forgot something very important.

    The main danger doesn't come from the (vaccinated) falangs - vaccination is  a must for them - , but from the not fully inoculated people here in Thailand, more than 50%. And the reason for the very low number of vaccinated people in Thailand, Thais and foreigners as well, lies with the military leader, who didn't like to spend the budget money for this urgent vaccination.

     

    Another reason, the Thai leader and his bootlickers first served the interests of his "friends" in special provinces, dependimng on tourists. The remote areas got fogotten, as I can confirm here in the Mae Hong Son Province.

  12. They say: quarantine-free, but it's not - 1 day in reality!

    A typical misinformation of the military government.

     

    Another example: They say our orders are only for your health/protection against the covid virus. The reality: many, many of their orders are made to MAKE MONEY (for the riches).

     

    More examples:

    • look at the headline of this thread: 1 day "quarantine" for the foreigners = falangs are forced to pay for the covid losses of the Thai hotel owners.
    • BEFORE, quarantine-free moving was allowed only for "special" (hotels in) cities/provinces; Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Ko Samui, Hua Hin, Pattaya without considering the reality (danger) of the covid situation. Poor provinces have been missed (sorted out).
    • The falangs, including returning expats, had and have to show double covid vaccination .... ehm because of a danger for the Thai population. In reality: the danger of a covid infection doesn't and didn't come from the falangs, but from the Thais themselves. The vaccination rate in the foreign countries has been by far much, much higher than in Thailand, where the military dictator needed so much time to order the vaccines in foreign countries.
    • the military leader made big mistakes in handling the covid problem. The most serious one was in April 2020 allowing  the Thai people to return to their families for celebrating their songkran at home. Result: transporting the disease to the provinces and therafter back to Bangkok and the surrounding areas.

  13. When you are reading all this contradicting government "orders", then you unvoluntarily think about the future of Thailand.

     

    I - i..e. - cannot refuse the idea: what would happen, if Thailand is forced into a war?

    My ideas:

    • although ruled by a military "leader", he wouldn't know how to react. Because no plan about it.
    • the leader would announce an order, shut up all you minions. This is a military problem which can only resolved by us. But it will take some time.
    • the leader will order all available submarines into the Mekong to defend the capital and the channels near to his house.
    • the leader will call ASEAN to suppoert him, because some important generals are just not at home, but shopping with their family in Peking, Mumbay , Ney York or Paris. It will take some time to return at home. But he urgently needs them. He has already ordered a military first class plane for their returning.
    • the leader will ask the parliament to take over the responsability (until the end of the war).
    • the leader will promise another election - after the war.
