    Last night, just before I completed watching the 322nd sheep jump over the fence, my Thai wife tapped me on the shoulder and asked me a question about this forum. 

    "If the US government has earmarked a certain percentage of the 1.5 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine, why hasn't anyone started a petition to get the benefactors to pressure the recipients to come clean on their commitment to sharing the vaccine with the foreign residents of Thailand?"

     

    I had no answer. Do any of you?

    Ask her why no one except few youngsters dont pressure this unelected government for vaccine failure?

    Some Farangs are even lower on the scale.  I've been treated with respect 99%  of the time here.    Rich and poor Thais for the most part are cool but aren't perfect.  I have my bad moments but have the luxury of resolving my issues in private.  Many have it a little harder than us retired folks.

     

    I think your statement is a more of an indicator of your specific challenges.  Not being a jerk but how is it every person I know that was respected back in there home country and respects others is almost never treated poorly.  Not including the sour shop owner or a person just having an awful day.  Some look at every interaction as a battle.  My encounters are pleasant or not so pleasant encounters.

    I am talking about government and vaccination of expats only.

    Kick out all NES who pretend to be English teachers.  That why Thailand is sinking further every year on the EF English Proficiency Index.  BA in irrelevant field and two Mondays one Tuesday TEFL course doesn't make you language teachers. Only in Asia you can get job if you and NES and white without any competence.  Some facts:

    Top countries on the EF English Proficiency Index dont hire incompetent NES, but  people with actual degree in English language. Anything more to add?
