    that's why this country is called also Kalaland or Dreamland.

    Problem with vax for locals - only with the first dose some 50% of population is expected to be done in October. They need to do almost 500k per day.

    So far they are doing 100-200k per day

     

    The main problem is shortage in vaccines due to the fact there are production problems.

    Also Thais with extremely low full vaccination figures are in high danger to be infected by the Delta Variant from India.

    Why not...   many laws and regulations in Thailand are the same as those in other nations. 

     

    If Thailand wishes to control such events it would do very well to pay attention to what has successfully worked in other countries and do the same here. 

     

    Of course, the significant difference here is Thailands love affair with apathy when it comes to enforcement of laws. 

    The word "if " and "apathy " will prevent any changes.

    Certain breeds need to to phased out as they have been in Germany (they chose the wrong breeds, but that is by the by).

     

    Dogs should be chipped and wormed

     

    Owners should have to pay a license fee that covers training for both them and their dog (mainly for them).

     

    No dogs should be caged like in the photo.

     

    All dogs should have a ID collar and, when in public, be on a lead.

     

    Any dogs not conforming to all the above should be impounded and re-licensed to new owners or destroyed.

     

     

    So you request EU rules or at least those they have in Germany? 

    Don't limit your request for dog matters only. ????

    To be honest it will be a dream only ????

    I understand the pushing of large infrastructure projects due to the big "finances" involved.

    But if I listen to my family, Thai friends, acquaintances and former work colleagues over the past few months theres not a one who would vote for the current incumbents. 
     

    Doesn't matter at all. Prayut will make himself win any election. Unfortunately ????

    Beggars belief! If they can just import j and j vaccine that quick why not import for everyone else who wants it..

    Importing is one thing but paying is another. 

    Thailand hasn't any money. So they borrowed for finance the vaccine orders. 

    However, if the wealthiest would feel responsibility........and would give a donation....... .it would be easy. ????

  6. Check out all those millions of comments of vaccinated people in social media round the world. 

    An "AZ arm" is known as well as an "Biontech-Pf arm." Uncomfortable feeling after the first AZ jab is well documented as well as some fever after the second Biontech. 

    Nothing to worry about. Just showing your body gave an answer and is reacting. ????

    A small hornet/wasp nest in the shoe rack. Not all of them are stingy, but unfortunately the ones that are, punch above their weight, so I blitz them all; let god sort it out.

    I never put my feet into a "wasp nest ".

    And I asked all my friends: nobody did it so far. 

    We are used to put our feet into shoes. 

    And so it's amazing for me that obviously you do it different.

    Thailand starts long awaited COVID-19 vaccination drive

    BANGKOK (Reuters) -Thailand kicked off a long-awaited mass vaccination campaign on Monday as the country battles its third and worst wave of the coronavirus epidemic.

     

    The government aims to administer 6 million doses this month, hoping to ease worries over the highly anticipated roll-out and concerns about supply shortages.

     

    "The government will ensure that everyone is vaccinated," Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha said in televised comments after he visited an inoculation centre in Bangkok.

     

    There were, however, early hiccups as some vaccine centres registered more than their quota, leading to postponements, senior health official Opas Karnkawinpong told a news conference.

     

    "We apologise if your vaccination appointment was postponed, but will make sure you are registered at the earliest," Opas said.

     

    Hospitals last week delayed vaccinations for nearly 40,000 people, citing a limited supply.

     

    Thailand escaped the worst of the coronavirus pandemic as it hit other countries hard last year, but is now grappling with its deadliest outbreak. Officials have scrambled to source more vaccines amid the third wave, which so far accounts for more than 80% of its 179,886 total infections and 1,269 fatalities.

     

    Authorities on Monday said 235 cases of the B.1.617.2 variant, which ravaged India, had spread to nine provinces since it was first detected in Bangkok last month.

     

    The outbreaks has highlighted criticisms of the country's vaccine programme for an over-reliance on AstraZeneca shots produced by royal-owned Siam Bioscience, a slow roll-out and a confusing registration system.

     

    On Monday morning, 986 vaccination centres reported a total of 143,116 people received shots. That adds to 2.8 million people deemed vulnerable, including frontline health and transport workers.

     

    "My feeling is that no matter what, we will need to go outside of home for the littlest things, so getting the vaccine gives us a sense of relief," said Praepawee Lertpongkijja, 38, at a Bangkok vaccination centre.

     

    VACCINE SUPPLIES

     

    The 6 million doses to be administered this month will be a mix of AstraZeneca and imported Sinovac vaccines.

     

    Concerns were raised last week over local production of the AstraZeneca vaccine by Siam Bioscience's after the Philippines said its order had been reduced and delayed.

     

    The health ministry on Monday said it will receive an additional 3.42 million doses from AstraZeneca after mid-June said, did not specify how much would be locally made.

     

    It received 1.8 million locally-produced AstraZeneca shots on Friday. Another 200,000 doses from South Korea, a health ministry source told Reuters.

     

    The country expects to sign contracts this week for 20 million shots of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine and five million doses from Johnson & Johnson

     

    Private hospitals will offer two shots of the Moderna vaccine for 3,800 baht ($121.91) after October, an industry group said, adding 10 million doses had been ordered.

    Some days ago they were bragging to have 1 million people get their vaccine per day. Now only 6 millions a month. 

    Will PM apologise for this little mistake? ????
