just yesterday they have approved 1.6bln for an unspecified vax, the next weak another 1.17bln for unspecified vax.

why this secrecy, lack of transparency?

$17 per shot is quite much, the top of what in Europe they are buying (and selling).

 

Already 6bln was spend on astrazeneca. Looks, like another 6bln for this same company. They would be in the second part of 2021.

 

money is flowing fast, but no vaccines

If the vaccine origin is not disclosed, the origin is immediately obvious.

Thanks Techno!   Just what I needed. Will follow up. ????????

Hello,

Thinking of buying a 2nd hand ( used) Mercedes Benz in Bangkok. I’m looking for a reliable, honest experienced mechanic who can check it out thoroughly. Has anyone found/ used such a service in  Bkk?  Grateful for suggestions.

UOB requires letter to be from your account opening branch, no other.

No, cannot.  Also, for clarification, non-immigrant O-A "retirement" visa extensions DO require the necessary health insurance policy issued by one of the designated local companies.  Once obtained, the insurance company downloads your policy into the ID data base.  

Grab works very well in Bkk.   Use it daily. Cars clean, drivers above average, some excellent.  Have been stood up only 3 times.  I always use cash.  Huge improvement to the extraordinarily poor public taxi service.

Maybe or maybe not. Immigration still uses tons of papers I presume for the purpose of aggravational hoop jumping for us, but they certainly are getting better and upgrading for online storage being at their disposal. Maybe starting with the airport fiasco restructuring first. As for this QR façade, they could farm it out to servers outside the country and then store it in data bases say like in China. Now isn't that a scary idea.

This is a real and serious concern.

It is your money, of course, and if you choose to throw it away that is on you.  But- be under no misunderstanding that by paying off her debts you will clear up financial woes.  (1) you will never get any money back ( if that’s your expectation), and

(2) the debts will rack up again immediately in expectation of further salvation.

and, there may be other existing debts she hasn’t warned you about and once the known debts are paid she’ll hit you with these.  This is a guaranteed path to hell.  Don’t choose that path.  In my humble opinion.????

Blair and Cameron are the only ones that need prosecuting...and hanging should be the only verdict

Hanging is a bit too civilized for Blair!

I’ve tried dozens of different Thai-produced coffee ( from Chiang Mai to the south) and all of it falls short of anything I’d recommend.

Great for you, but I am travelling for work nearly every week to Phuket and stay 2 nights. When I am not travelling to Phuket, I am on business trips in Asia. How can I comply with the TM30? Online doesn’t work, I am already waiting 2 months for my log in and password.

I have friends who have waited over 3 months and still not received theirs.????????

Returned thru Swampy yesterday (Monday) and breezed thru the X-ray team like greased lightning- all three staffers were preoccupied with themselves. About 30 folks ahead of us also weren't stopped. FYI????

This effete <deleted> should go back home to Cuba

No concerns about cost just advice as to " the best".  Thanks.

I walked into the Toyota dealership in Chiangmai Mai, kicked some tires and bought a new vehicle.  Took about 20 minutes. I am foreign. My wife not Thai.  

Looking for folks who might have had a good experience with a urological surgeon specializing in kidneys, in the Bangkok area.  It seems I may have to have a kidney removed. Any advice based on experience welcomed.

The whole $&@" city (Bk) has been out of Cheetos for 4 months!  Finally a new delivery made to a nearby grocery shop so very pleased. Patience- L&P Wooster will return????????

Chiangmai Mai Ram hospital in Chiangmai Mai used to charge me THB 20,000 for 3 months prescription.  When I challenged the bill they fobbed me off. I ferreted out the same stuff at a local pharmacy and it cost THB 2000.  Go figure.  Pure and simple daylight robbery.  High overhead, mounting administrative costs, increased wholesale prices yadda yadda- all total bs and bafflegab.  Straight ripoff, without a smile.

Thank you all for the very helpful guidance.  I trust everyone will vote the right way????????

I understand that legislation has been passed to allow Canadians to vote in Federal elections.  Previously any Canadian who has lived over 3 years abroad as a non- resident could not vote.  The theory being- no pay taxes, no vote.  Question:  is this new law in effect and where can one get registered to do so.  Rumours are strong that Jussy will call a snap May election as his ratings have tanked so time may be of the essence.  Thanks.
