Have you looked at a electric bicycle? I have one and it has now got 18776 k on it .iIt has reasonable range and performance and can be  peddled if there is no charge left  .Park anywhere ,no licence/reg required, Great for around. town Bangkok E-bikes gas a good range .

At last there is someone realising  that these measures are counter productive .Even with high vax rates  there are more cases (eg Gibralter).,prehaps the only solution is herd immunity? PS .I'm not a expert.

Finding it hard to think of a good reason as to why this is not a bad thing

Imports more expensive ? 

Went to bang sue on Thursday .Big problem for car parking, and traffic jams. Eventually parked well away from building and caught a motor cycle. At gate four I was told to go to qate 1 .At gate one they said go to another gate. Ended up at gate 2 .After queuing  the process was fairly simple .A few more signs and instructions might help.There was a lot of people milling around not knowing where to go .Good once inside . Total time 2pm to 4pm 

Today at Siam paragon  5 th floor Free cax, for Thai only .tho .Empty .

They are now vaxing at Siam paragon Thai only but no queues  5th floor .

Monkeys now, people tomorrow?

'Let them eat cake' ,springs to mind .

Which vaccine is available ? Are there queues  ?

Thanks. Did I mention Sweden?

I think you said that lockdowns were necessary  and used Sweden as an example of the disastrous  consequences  of not having a lockdown .

Singapore, s Korea Barbados,. A number of countries dealt with the virus by containing it with lockdowns and vaccinating aggressively ASAP.

Sweden population 11mil , deaths from virus 14600 age ,80_90 10000 ...028% death. Hmmm 

I have a uk passport but im also a permanent resident in Aus . Would i qualify and how would i register ? I have luved in Aus since 1963

Uk now has the Lambda (11) variant from Sth America .  Stronger and more deadly . Lockdowns dont work   so Bo Jo  is going with live with it .  

These constant shutdowns seem to have no effect except to impoverish the population thereby the gov ability to provide adequate  care .South America has got the Lambda variant (11) .I believe its inevitable that all will have in some form.Aus .restrictions from 1 case !  

How long does it take to renew a passport ? Do i have to send it to uk ? 

I like lazada quick and easy to navigate .I still cant figure out how to change the language in Shoppee ! Its incedibly hard to navigate.

Welcome to gulag Phuket !

In all seriousness, after the current lockdown, I was not hearing anyone say the it would be back to normal this year.  I wasn't hearing much of anything from official sources which is frustrating but I think most just used common sense.

 

Has to be beyond frustrating to be a business owner in Pattaya.  Know a couple young Thais that started or took over businesses in the last few years.  Heart goes out to them and hopefully their businesses survive but at some point I fear they will throw in the towel.

Seems like all small cash busineses are clised and 711 is opening more stores Mall are open too  .Hmmm
