What would you do in Pattaya? Surely not go for a swim.

Koh Larn only place or the pool on 20 th floor

I wonder sometimes if Thailand thinks it's the only country struggling with COVID-19.

 

Its a great time to visit if you are vaccinated and you don't have to quarantine when you get back home.

 

5 star hotels are cheap as they have ever been.

 

No crowds on the beaches.

 

 

 

 

I have been Air b in Pattaya by the month incredible deals and no deposits , so no worry about that , I would stay about 4 months in each place

Three weeks ago at the beginning of the lock down I see them drinking outside Tree Town in defiance. They made no attempt at being discreet. They were  loud and no social distancing.  It's difficult to be sympathetic as this is not a case of being in the wrong place, wrong time. Your typical uneducated cheap charlies who will not listen and only learn through hard knocks such as fines /imprisonment. 

They have been testing fate at Tree Town  for a year already , nothing New

Oh these people are so completely spaced.  Marijuana has been legalized in many countries and do you know what it did for tourism?  Jack squat.  

If you're pathetic enough to want to go on vacation just to get stoned on pot you are in the minority.  

Many people went to Colorado when first legalized, Yes

Yeah right, now they want to help with some of the costs just when i have just finishing my 14 days in Phuket and forced to sit in a mini van for 14 hours to go back to Pattaya as there are no regular flights only charted flights at 4 times the normal air ticket fee and the mini van at 4000 baht...

Flights back Septembre

I suspect the mix and match has more to do with price and availability than anything else. I was told I was getting AZ first but when I turned up it was Sinovac to be followed 3 weeks later by AZ. I wonder who had my AZ jab?

I would of told them they can <deleted> off

Any vaccine is better than no vaccine, unless you prefer to stay locked inside your home for the next many months!

Nothing Chinese,  Is   entering  my body

No, they're not. Not even close.

 

Not enough wearing masks consistently. Not honoring social distancing. Businesses not complying with the non-lockdown restrictions.

 

It's no wonder the deaths and cases keep rising. Not enough vaccinations. And not enough changes in public behavior to limit the spread of the virus.

 

Mass vaccination is super spreader events

At least, we have a "timeline"... 2 weeks per 2 weeks. ???? It helps.

 

The main problem is : even with 70 or 80 % of the population fully vaccinated... the virus could still be there.

 

Look at Israel (or Malta, or UAE etc.)

 

Massive (and early) vaccination program (started december 19) with Pfizer.

 

 

 

The idea that "vaccine = end of the problem = going back to normal" is deeply flawed.

 

Confronted to thoses facts (the vaccine do not prevent transmission and contamination, the herd immunity with a virus that mutates/recombines a lot and that has animal reservoirs is a fiction) countries start to think "differently" like Iceland or the UK... The virus will always be there, it's okay.

 

But I'm very concerned about Thailand... i'm not sure they can think out of the box... The "zero Covid" ideology is very strong in Asia and South-East Asia.

 

Add to this... the tense political situation (factorized by the economic and social situation)...

 

That's not a good cocktail recipe...

If you’ve been vaccinated you won’t die , Right….maybe with Chinese river water vaccine

The Chulabhorn institute has nothing to do with the government efforts - they side-stepped the government and ordered their own vaccines.

 

I queued up, along with my wife, to register to receive SinoPharm two weeks ago (my wife was told no online registration was available in this particular case). We haven't as yet been given an appointment.

Why waste time with a useless vaccine , it won’t help with Indian Variant , Avoid Chinese Vax

Even just knuckling down and staying home and surviving on Deliveroo or whatever has to be better than flying halfway round the world in an aluminium tube packed in with other carrying lord knows what.

 

But as with many things in this world it's all Up2U.

 

There is no - one on the flts , very few inside planes , terminals nothing open except high end duty free , no food options , very boring traveling Now 

Today’s news in USA is Pfizer efficacy isn’t the fix-  all vaccine against Indian Variant, Moderna is very good  , I’m very fortunate to have received

Ah Pfizer the much lauded Mercedes of vaccines?

Moderno is the one to have in our Social Circle  , it always gets the Awwwww lol I flew back usa last week

So why is it Moderna never had FDA approval for any of its previous drugs. I read about people saying it's the best, but how do they get to that conclusion? 

In Social circles it’s the one to have , I haven’t a clue , Why , JJ was Clot factor , choice of 3 vaccines Pfizer, Moderno, JJ

Obviously he can't get vaccines, so he tries to achieve herd immunity by doing nothing.. While his inaction may well kill hundreds of thousand.

 

But, seriously what's (not) happening? Should we run before it's too late?

I ran to usa last week got Moderno yesterday, Choice of 3 Pfizer, JJ , Moderno, they never even heard about Chinese Sinovac and it’s low efficacy
