I will be back next week if they change all the silly rules for getting back into the country.

No, it won’t affect the elites at all. They will continue to prosper. The elites all own US stock, crypto and foreign property. With no signs that the money printing will slow, inflation will continue to get hidden in equities and real estate. BTC will be well over $500,000 by 2025 and the Nasdaq north of 20k. Anyone that doesn’t hold US tech equities + cryptocurrency is in deep trouble moving forward. The elites know this and have been loading up. Fiat will be worthless soon so the poor will get double cucked unfortunately.

So if CP group's sales in their retail outlets goes down by 30% you are saying they are not affected?

A police spokesman said Thursday authorities will investigate photos of people collapsing on the streets, which they said some of them may have been "staged" to incite fear. Perpetrators of fake news face up to two years in prison and/or a fine of up to 40,000 baht, he warned.

"Staged" Shame on you Thai police spokesman. You are now threatening the same people that you are suppose to protect with a 40,000 baht fine and up to two years in prison, poor people who are now dying in the streets.

Pray tell how they would have been allowed to board a flight, oh wait fake certificates.  Is that even possible in todays day and age where follow-ups are supposedly being done by the airlines as well as a self attestation being signed by the flier.  Maybe faked certs in Sweden, perhaps, or is the employer grasping at straws and trying to deflect from his practices on safety.

The CPR tests were from Thailand. Seems like they are either faked or not very accurate. 

117 Thai berry pickers from Thailand in Sweden are infected with the virus. One of the employers believe that they all have faked PCR tests and vaccination records. The workers have been isolated and been given food and drinks.

Sweden's government is recommending wearing face masks on public transport during the rush hour, reversing its earlier Covid guidance.

Yes only recommended, it was not the law.

What military action has Thailand lost a military individual in?

They lost soldiers during the border war with Laos and also some in Vietnam.

You failed to mention that Sweden has a very high death rate per capita. At 18 months in Thailand would have to have 100k dead to be on par with Sweden. So please tell me again how wonderful things have been in Sweden. By their own admission they have failed miserably. 

Can't you read? I wrote that 14.600 Swedes died from Corvid, less than Belgium with a similar population, a country that locked down. Swedes are buying new cars, boats and house prices are increasing, Swedish citizens has never been as wealthy as they are now.

The PM points out the main issue is availability of the vaccines and method of distribution. We all know that..

 

People should not read into  it that there will be a quick solution within few months and return to normality . everyone is focusing on tourism.  Nobody will go on vacation to Thailand this year.. That is a wishful thought. 

 

Given how other countries are managing the vaccine distribution for many month , herd immunity has not be reached yet or even reached it  like in the Seychelles island people got  infected (recent news). The fear is mutation of the virus. 

 

Assuming that the virus does not  keep on mutation ,  we should look at mid next year before most of the population will be vaccinated

 

In today news, Guangzhou went into lockdown even with their vaccination effort.

Normality in the world will not happen soon.

 

NOBODY will go on vacation soon.

 

 

 

 

 

I am on a holiday now in Sweden, life is good here.

I live in a small village in Central Thailand.  10 days ago the local nurse came to the compound and put us all down on her records.  Yesterday we were given a 06 June 21 appointment for the vax.  How does that sound for organized?  I hope all you grumpy old men do not get upset with this news.

Pfizer?

How long would it that that guy to parallel park a car?  How many tries? 

I would be surprised if he knows how to load a weapon.

The level of fear in this forum is spiking exponential.

It makes me wonder how a country like Sweden can manage to live day-to-day without the entire population wetting themselves in fear.  Yet they do.
Just watching this process is an education in human psychology and it's practical applications.  Never in my life had I expected to see anything like this.  But here it is.
 

I left Thailand in April last year and went to Sweden, a move that I am very happy for after reading how things are now in Thailand. It was hard during the very cold winter months, some days was minus fifteen Celsius, but for me personal freedom is very important. Sweden has not locked down one single day so far and no crazy facemask rules when outside like most other countries in Europe. I have received two shots of Pfizer for free and there are only twenty Corvid patients in ICU care in the whole of the country now. 14.600 Swedes died from Corvid, less than Belgium with a similar population, and they locked down their country. The Swedish economy is doing great and life is like normal here. When this pandemic is over the Thai military "government" will face a <deleted>storm I believe, destroying a big percentage of the economy by creating a fear situation amongst the population. I really hope that they will be held responsible for the mess that they have created.

In my case each time the decision to refuse has been taken by a uniformed official, not by a nurse or doctor - in fact the nurses have always accepted that at my age (64) and with diabetes (stable but nonetheless a chronic condition) that I should be vaccinated. Refusal has been decided by a civil servant. It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that clinical needs are not considered, but here at least (Chiang Rai) vaccination is being allocated according to political decisions driven by xenophobia.

 

I have been refused by officialdom at provincial level - twice at the walk in centre operated by the main provincial hospital and once by the education ministry (I was the only teacher from my school not to be vaccinated, I am the only white teacher at the school). However I am sure that it also affects the Thais - this is anecdotal, but i am told in the rural amphur in which I live the police have all been vaccinated, the soldiers at the local army camp (only a small one with a couple of hundred men) have all been vaccinated, the government officials and, umh, err, that is it! Even the medical staff at the local hospital have not been vaccinated! An utter dogs breakfast!

 

Putting a stop to this form of pork barrel decision making should be one of the steps being taken...

I feel very sorry for you. I love the normal Thai people, but the current bunch of traitors dressed in uniforms are the ones who destroy this once great place to live and do business in. I hope that one day the average Thai will figure this out and kick those leaches back into the gutters where they belong,
