Did BPH know you already got 1st shot with AZ? All the hospitals I’ve ask does not allow mixing of AZ and Pfizer yet. 
 

They do however allow mixing of Sinovac and Pfizer.

No

I had AZ in Bang Sue in  late July and got an SMS from BPH that I could have Pfizer last week at Central so I took it. No side effects from either. But I also have a 3rd shot scheduled next week Pfizer so the question is should I take it. In US they say 3rd shots are boosters 5-6 months later. Any ideas?

Ridiculous wait times at Pattaya traffic lights. Noticing now many cars just turning when they want, not waiting for any lights or arrows. Maybe covid craziness.

Speaking of lights, last night in Pratumnak, at least 3 motorbikes now shut the front headlights. It's bad enough at night when I'm driving my car I almost run into the idiots who have no red tail lights. In California they'd ticket you in a flash.

Mor Prom App --> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mor.promplus

 

Yes, it's nice to finally have a Thai ID number.

 

Easy to install and use, shows my first dose. (top right pick with computer screen and dripping syringe).

 

No certificate yet for me until I get my second dose.

 

 

If you've been vaccinated here then you now have a Thai ID number. 13 digits, begins with 600000nnnnnnn, should be somewhere in your vaccination paperwork.

 

 

 

 

 

You people are driving me crazy. I ahve 2 vaccine certificates and no ID number 6000 or anything else???

There is no universality in what one was given at an inoculation. Mine simply has my name, time and date of next appointment:

 

 

 

Or, you can pick them up for free at most pharmacies. The approach in UK is they want to eradicate cases, not make money off the facilities to achieve that; it's quite radical. (And yes, I know nothing is free etc, but having just bought an antigen kit (5x) made by Roche for THB1400, it's a bit "freer" than that.)

 

 

4 tables. Not necessarily in the same restaurant.

 

 

Yes, I got my office whiz to do for me...still drew blanks. Need to check with my hospital; it's possible the Mor Prom app for this is different to the one I completed using my pink ID.

I did Pfizer after AZ in 4 weeks, OK by USA doctors and internet sites.

If you are too lazy to learn to read Thai, it's a good idea to befriend a native to help you. . 

Problem is genius is that there is no corresponding info on my Bang Sue doc  or BPH to what he is asking.

Get rid of this Mayor

Shame they did not order enough vaccines so as to make this feasible, then delaying the time between jabs of the AZ was just the cream on the cake. In case anyone is affected the revised time between shots of AZ is 8 weeks, not 12 or 16, your vaccination centre may have "forgotten" to update you. It is easy enough to prove vaccination of both staff and customers using the Mor Phrom smartphone App so that is doable, but Antigen tests before entry, a dead duck that will be ignored.  Before I get told that the Mor Phrom App does not work for expats, it does. Basically on you paperwork received from the vaccination centre is an Id number that starts with a 6 and is 13 characters long, enter that and it should the bring up your details., certainly worked for me.

Coronavirus latest news: Booster plan 'urgently' needed as vaccine protection for elderly may fall below 50pc by winter

Whichever way you read it,even johnson falls to 61%    Plus the UK are 12 months ahead of other studies especially AZ,and boosters "urgently"  needed,even Sky news now reporting

Get booster 6 months after #2.

USA says wait one month between and can do AZ and Pfizer second. If you tell you had Sinovac recently, they will cancel you. I had AZ one month ago and Pfizer yesterday at CF. Sinovac is useless sorry, do some research.

Sir you are correct, this is exactly the plan.......They want to sterilize Bangkok ,Khao San road, Beach Road, Walking Street etc etc etc They want another Singapore...

 

Clean, life-less, soul-less is the goal.......And trees, art, nature, and beauty just get in the way....

They will never fix the dirty water, just build a bridge to Koh Larn and advertise it as the 'Phuket of the North'

I went down to Na Jomtien yesterday, just missed the lights at Chaiyapruek and sat there waiting for them to change for five minutes. Now half a click further on there's another set of lights at the Second Road junction which I also missed, though they changed back to green a lot faster than the ones at Chaiyapruek. Clearly a work in progress then, the Pattaya CIty traffic engineers will have to spend some time on the phasing to make sure there's no chance of them being green if you've just come from the Chaiypruek junction, and to make sure the wait last several minutes at least before you get a green again. Just what Suk didn't need, yet more wretched traffic lights.

I completed form yesterday morning and got sms back in the evening. Just leaving to get my pfizer jab which is booked for between 2pm and 3pm.  The link is for any non-thai over 40 that has not yet received any jab.

To Mr.RONALD.
This is to confirm that your appointment to receive the Pfizer vaccine is on 25/08/2021at  13:00 - 14:00 at 6th floor, Central Festival Pattaya Beach. If you are under 40 years old, you need to present Medical Certificate as proof that you have at least one of the 7 medical underlying conditions. Please bring your passport and a pen and show this SMS to our staff.  (Disregard this message if you have already received a Covid vaccine)  Thank you. 

Did it, but very unorganized at entrance. I have a cane, handicapped and they wanted me to stand in a queue for an hour. No wheelchairs, no floor managers. Gave me a chair. Where are the ladies from hospital reception? Fix it.

I agree that it’s good news…

 

I ALSO agree that we could find ourselves right back here (strict lockdown/restrictions) again- VERY QUICKLY…. so… I am cautiously optimistic..

 

I also agree that any “relaxing” is probably going to be gradual… which, I tend to agree with… so, while I’m optimistic, hopeful and feeling better, I also realize that we could go right back to where it is now, literally overnight and any relaxing is going to be slow and gradual…. 

 

but i’m ok with that.. small steps forward … but keep making those steps each week.

 

 

Just swimming pools

Sorry I must have been sleeping during the fanfare as I live at Aeras near the intersection.

Now you can go on Jomtien second road south to the end and go right on Sukimvit. There is a new traffic light. The only other way now with all the construction is to go right on Chaiyapruek. Before you could only go left, very stupid.

Girlfriend, not wife, but crazy

Weird but true. I started out of boredom to go fishing again. I am 78 USA. I go to Bali Hai lighthouse, many Thai fishermen, no falangs except me. Lady takes me at 5:30pm and does not hang around, nothing to do, just men fishing. She takes my motorbike, my wallet for safety, don't bring my tablet phone, too big, useless. I keep 100 baht for a drink. Wednesday last she takes off, I catch nothing but it's so relaxing looking at the water and Koh Larn, who cares. I get a lot of help from 3 Thai guys so that night I buy 4 ice creams for 80 baht and now have 20 left. It's 7pm.No lady, 7:15, no lady, I can't ever remember her phone number but I think she usually goes to visit her friend (in a closed massage shop on Pattaya Klang). Dark, it's 7:30 and I can't figure out with no money how I can go home in Jomtien or go the massage shop, hoping I was right and it's open.

Then I remember that the battery had problems in the new 150i and for the second time the day before they had to charge it again for an hour so the indicator red light doesn't go on. Ah hah, she can't drive and can't call but why doesn't she just rent a taxi motorbike and come fetch me, she's gotta be just in Pattaya. That's what I hoped.

Ok everyone has ridden off and I am sitting in the dark alone. Except for one guy who I at least nodded to a few times. He gets on his motorbike and I take a gamble, I sign language to please get me out of here to Pattaya near Klang, better than walking.

He's cool and takes me right to the massage shop and there is my girl and two massage ladies laughing hysterically when they see me outside. I see the 150i. I walk in, throw down my fishing gear and they don't even acknowledge how serious I am. I immediately figure out they are drunk and after a minute realize it's not beer but Thai whisky. I've never seen her like this. I told her just give me the keys and sleep in the shop, I'm going home and then all mayhem broke loose. You know how strong massage girls are compared to a withering 78 year old. They wrestled me to the sofa and one of them kept restraining my lady because she flipped out and was screaming and threatening me and wouldn't quiet down. They refused to let me leave. This screaming went on for 15 minutes and I realized my lady turned into a devil woman. In three years we had fights, broke up once for a few months but I've never seen a screaming Thai woman like this. My lady is also strong, she can be a boxer and can lay me out if she wanted to, and now I have three of them trapping me. My lady has some drinking problems, many do, a beer or Spy at night, many nights. I can't drink.

I finally get her on the motorbike and go home. (The night before when the battery died at a 7 11, she managed to get it started and wanted to drive, but kept yelling why didn't I buy a Yamaha like her sister, over and over again. I told her to shut up and she pushed the bike to over 90. I thought I would die. We made it home.)

So we got home. I can't remember exactly but we argued in the lobby and maybe I said if you don't like the new motorbike or me get out, blah blah. So started yelling in the lobby she's going to throw all her clothes in the garbage bin and get out. So I was too scared to be in the room with her alone so I stayed in the lobby. She started coming down with bins and plastic bags filled with her clothes and dumping them in the trash room. I said nothing but after she would drop off the bags and go up, I would take them and put them in the condo business room. She did this about 4 times, I had 10 bags. She asked the guard where her bags were and he was flustered. She looked but couldn't find them. Finally she came down at midnight and said 'peace, go to sleep". I locked my bedroom doors. The next morning she bangs on my door and demands the clothes she has in our joint bedroom. I let her take them and she starts dumping clothes, food, cosmetics, handbags, (and this woman is a compulsive flea market, facebook and Lazada shopper) in the hallway.

That morning she left for the day, whew. That day I find a foundation and give them all the clothes, something good. I get the office to quickly cancel her key card and forbid her to come upstairs.

But the office calls and says she is downstairs and wants a document. OK, but send the guard up too. But the office manager comes up also and I am in the hallway for her to get the document and leave, but she starts dumping all the rest of her clothes in the hallway for an hour. I am exhausted. She is blabbering in Thai to the guard and manager. How is he going to take her clothes, bags and shoes away. I think the office manager tells me to give the clothes to the maids. Hell no, they have jobs, the foundation takes care of orphans. But I call some ladies I know to help sort out the condo mess and the hallway before the manager gets on me and take all her things for free. Ok, they are from Isaan and never buy anything nice. My lady leaves. I had to call her sister to help but no English and no help. Not even come from Chon Buri to take her clothes.

The second problem was the fact that I didn't want to mess with a will and I don't own a condo, but I kept thinking I can't last this long at my age with 5 major diseases and now Covid so last winter I transferred my car and motorbike to her name so the government can't take them when I die, I can  transfer my measly bank money to her while dying in minutes. Easy but now she is demanding to sell the motorbike or smash my car and motorbike. That finally subsides at the end, she doesn't want them as  I have promised her the same salary for September. I will transfer the books back to me again. Believe me I am very generous besides the salary, too good.

I also called my doctor lady friend up North who met her and she said good, she's bipolar and alcoholic. She even had to talk to her sister and explain it all. She's a nice girl, funny, great cook but no ambition anymore. Just phone in her face all day when she is not eating.

So that's the story except for everyone saying to take her back. So far, happy alone but may have to move, she made such a scene in the condo I'm embarrassed. Thank you for reading. I'll survive. I lost a 4 million baht house to my legal Thai wife years ago and survived death from being drugged by a Thai chick.

Use as a topical antiseptic - yup no problem.

As a mouthwash, ok but don't swallow it.

 

Be very careful with solutions over 3%.

I was warned off mouthwash many years ago by a dentist who wasn't afraid to tell the truth about them. Like you say, they kill off the friendly bacteria along with the bad.

 

I also read a few years that rinsing ones mouth straight after cleaning with toothpaste is another bad habit that almost everyone does. Most of us use fluorinated toothpaste and if we rinse straight after cleaning, we wash away the fluoride, which requires at least 15 minutes to absorb into the tooth enamel.

 

I stopped rinsing about 4 years ago and my teeth have never felt and looked cleaner than they are now.

 

I'd rather kill off some bad covid these days than worry about a few good bacteria which come back anyway. My teeth are great after my formula so what is the truth.
