Phu Kradueng National Park reopens doors to tourists
tomacht8 replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
It's ten times the price for long noses. Disgusting pricing policy. -
Phu Kradueng National Park reopens doors to tourists
tomacht8 replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
Completely excessive, bureaucratic requirements. It doesn't matter to me anyway, because I generally don't visit parks that operate the double price system. -

tomacht8 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Is there already the planned transfer option at Suvanabumi Airport? Many airlines only offer Bangkok as a destination and not e.g. Koh Samui. Same with Phuket. There is no long range airline which over Krabi as final destination. Can travelers book the connecting flight seperatly themselves? -
Thai PM orders nationwide crackdown on loan sharks
tomacht8 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Unfortunately, that's the way it is. The greatest archivment of the PM was the crackdown on state lottery ticket sellers. For quite some time, the prices are back to the before crackdown level at 90-120 baht per ticket. TiT -
OP-ED: England’s unfriendly travel regulations
tomacht8 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Clear. If Thai officials stupidly declare that they did not intend to inject full doses or in other unapproved areas of the body is one thing. But the claim that other ingredients are used by AZ Thailand is a damaging claim. I am currently fighting with the EU authorities for the EU-wide recognition of the AZ vaccine made in Thailand. -
OP-ED: England’s unfriendly travel regulations
tomacht8 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Do you have a source for your claim that there are other ingredients used? According to the AZ statement: Q: Can I travel with COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca that has been manufactured in Thailand? A: COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca that is made in Thailand is of the same quality as AstraZeneca's vaccine made in Europe, Korea, Japan, Australia, and elsewhere https://www.astrazeneca.com/country-sites/thailand/press-release/travelling-with-covid-19-vaccine-astrazeneca-made-in-thailand.html -
UK continues its refusal to recognise vaccines administered in Thailand
tomacht8 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
May the reasons could be Thailand's silly announcements: a.) not wanting to administer full doses, b.) to inject the vaccine in other places and not as approved in the deltoid muscle of the upper arm. -
UK continues its refusal to recognise vaccines administered in Thailand
tomacht8 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Unfortunately, it is not uniform across the EU. For example in Germany is AZ made in Thailand approved. Versions of EU-approved vaccines approved abroad (original or licensed productions) are equivalent to the mentioned EU-approved vaccines for proof of vaccination protection. For more information, please refer to the list below. https://www.pei.de/DE/newsroom/dossier/coronavirus/coronavirus-inhalt.html;jsessionid=C9A2FE58903AA2021679E75E3E22907A.intranet212?nn=169730&cms_pos=3 -
It doesn't matter whether 100 or 100,000 tested positive per day. The decisive factor is how many people are severe, symptomatic cases and absolutely have to go to the hospital. In Europe, lockdown measures are increasingly controlled using this parameter. It is undisputed that the vaccinations are currently reducing the number of serious and fatal cases. The big unknown here is the appearance of new dangerous mutations.

Thammanat says ruling party deeply unpopular; must prepare for elections
tomacht8 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The majority of the Thai population wants better and honest people to lead the country in the future. The distribution of wealth in the country has become increasingly unfair. The bottom 50% of the population own only 1.7% of the country's wealth. The top 1% own 67% of the country's wealth. According to the Credit Suisse Global Wealth Report 2018. Either the 1% elite resign voluntarily or there will be violent outbreaks. It's a shame, actually. Thailand has so much potential and could have become a big tiger, but the greed for money from the top people has eaten there minds. -
UK continues its refusal to recognise vaccines administered in Thailand
tomacht8 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
True. 2.Shots Astra. What is the problem? The vaccine is the same that is being injected all over the world. Is there a good reason for that? Or it is just the obvious ineptitude that the UK government has shown on several occasions? The morbid compulsion of the UK government to do something different than any other country in the EU. Profiling mania with partially empty supermarket shelves and expensive forced quarantine for fully vaccinated holiday returnees. I'm not British, but that would annoy me as a British. Sorry to say that. -
Thailand seeks to slash quarantine period for visitors
tomacht8 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Next week everything will be changed again. Do those responsible even know their own current rules themselves? The whole thing is only half clear. Will the Phuket sandbox now also be abolished? 7 days forced quarantine, locked up in the hotel room for vaccinated people also for Phuket and Koh Samui? -
Honor, sincerity, righteousness. With such disgusting figures as "representatives of the law", the legal system degenerates into a laughing stock. Equal rights for all, a cornerstone of any functioning society, are mocked here. Such figures do not belong in a public office, but in a prison. They broke their oath to honor, uphold, and defend the law.

With the international recognition of vaccination certificates from Thailand there are already problems with their mixing of different vaccines. If the vaccine doses are reduced now, further problems are bound to arise. Hopefully there will be no revocation of Thai vaccination certificates at international level.

Don't worry, Dr Wichai. I always invest my money where I have 100% control over it. The returns from my apartment buildings in my home country provide enough money that I can live here very comfortably. I save myself all the stress of having to deal with the authorities here. From my own experience I can say that property in Thailand is more headache than joy. After 25 years in Thailand, I can safely say that my next big investments will definitely not be in Thailand. Have a nice day.

Alcohol disinfects and makes it harder for the virus to lodge in the throat. The whole alcohol ban can be most likely counterproductive. For example, the immunologist Beda Stadler said: It is correct that alcohol breaks viruses. After all, alcohol has been known for many years as a recipe for a natural disinfectant. Another advantage: "If you have a cough and the viruses in the mucus wash down the esophagus, fewer viruses can get into the lungs." But even if, according to Beda Stadler, one effect cannot be dismissed out of hand: So far, there have been no scientifically sound studies on the connection between alcohol and viruses. Conclusion: The alcohol ban is not scientifically justified.

If you are infected with Corvit, that is not a 100% death sentence. 98.96% survive an infection in Thailand. Worldwide the survival rate is 97.94%. The survival rate in those who are fully vaccinated is even higher. Thailand should try to adapt its opening policy to the available intensive care bed capacity and stop dragging infected people to hospitals with zero symptoms. Whether a month more or less will make all the difference. In 2020, Thailand had a total of 538,883 deaths. 1 cancer 19% 2 ischemic heart disease 12% 3 stroke 10% 4 lower respiratory tract infections 9% 5 HIV 4% 6 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 4% 7 diabetes 4% 8 road injuries 4% 9 Chronic kidney disease 2% 10 cirrhosis 2% People die of all kinds of diseases and it will stay that way. The virus is there and it won't go away.

Gov’t on right track for economic recovery: Spokesman
tomacht8 replied to Jonathan Fairfield's topic in Thailand News
The government now anticipates this year’s annual per-capita income to be 232,024 baht. That's just a statistical average value that unfortunately doesn't say much. What the distribution looks like within the income pyramid would be much more telling. According to Credit Suisse's Global Wealth Report 2018, the richest 1 percent in Thailand controlled almost 67 percent of the country's wealth. The bottom 50 percent of Thais had a meager 1.7 percent of the country's wealth. Even before the outbreak of the coronavirus, Thailand was one of the most unequal societies in Southeast Asia. If the Gov’t is on right track, is relative. -
So what if an older man marries a bar girl and takes care of her and her family? Suddenly the sex tourist becomes a husband. Most of the bar girls are abandoned mothers by their Thai husbands. Thai hierarchy? Ridiculous. These Thai women don't have a chance in the Thai hierarchy. Your image of people is ugly. The protection of marriage and the family is anchored in almost every country in the world. Just not in Thailand if the husband is a foreigner. Funny, when Thai men marry foreign girls, a lot of these xenophobic rules don't apply.
