Not slow in this pub/bar!

At what age are Thais entitled to a 4th shot?

Nonsense, they have government hospitals for that.

The only nonsense is written by you!
Thais only have access to public hospitals (free) if they contribute to social security.

Sorry to show my ignorance but I have an AIS Sim card for years paying about 500  per month.  I use for data, LINE ,some TV on line and some phone calls etc.  Most of the time I connect the phone to home WiFi.

If I buy one of these annual sims from Lazada or Shopee, can I transfer my existing  simcard phone number. Sorry if it's a 'dummies' question.

at some 7.5k per dose and later every 6-12 months, how many families can afford it?

 

I thought there was a cap of 3,000?

Inexcusable that this wasn't thought of before! 

People in England are castigating Boris Johnson ----- they should see this lot.

Nationality should NOT be be issue, older and those with health problems should come first no matter where you were born. This will see young Thais vaccinated before 80 old foreigners with diabetes, not just racist but almost criminal from a public health point of view

I don't think Thais in the  UK were pushed to the back of the queue!

Nope; the largest group of private hospitals in Thailand charges foreigners higher fees. That practise is in place for years already. It is not based on insurance company btw, and its up to the doctors discretion.

Yes that's true.   A friend went to Bangkok Heart Hospital and the doctor asked if he lived here because There was a lower rate.

I always point out that I am a resident and have no insurance.

Once I told an ophthalmologist that an MRI she recommended was too expensive and she offered to write an introduction letter to the government hospital she worked at a couple of days a week.

A Chinese vaccine has just been approved by the WHO  but NOT Sinovac!

SINOPHARM.

Did Thailand thank UK for vaccinating EVERYONE in England INCLUDING ALL THAIS for free?

Thailand passed a law making it illegal to smoke in your home, there is no law about smoking outside on the balcony.

 

Where did it say the partner was female, or the OP was male for that matter?

Thanks, that's the  info I was after.

Legal or not, I don't know,

But if I had a choice of living  next door to your partner, or your neighbour, I'd pick the neighbour every time.

Thanks but you did not answer my question.

great, any recommendations? do the earplugs function with the phone app or independently?. Seems if the latter we're talking big bucks.

I think the ones I've seen advertised on Facebook are about 17k Baht!

Or to put it another way:

 our Hi So's and retired military fellows who have already paid for their vaccinations at inflated prices from private hospitals

 

Which hospitals are these? Do tell as you seem to know.

European nations including Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, Norway and Iceland have decided to stop using the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine due to serious blood clot incidents reported in many countries.

 

They have SUSPENDED vaccinations during examinations of the patients with blood clots.    

30 blood clots in 5 million vaccinations!    There is NO suggestion that the clots were caused by the vaccine!  There would be more than this in a pre- covid time.  Don't cherry-pick your news sources.

Anyway, if you will refuse yours (in favour of the Chinese one?)  can I take your turn in the queue for Astra Zenica please?

Well, well, the penny has dropped

I said this 2 weeks ago

Didn't we all!

I don't understand -- since March, I've only once ever seen someone without a mask (and he was accompanied by a BTS staff member).

What I do find strange is that they announce sanitization gel at all stations. But nearly always at the 'in' turnstiles.

I would like to see it also at the exits after holding onto escalator rails, straps and stanions (whatever they are).

Personally, I try to stand balancing touching nothing.
