Thanks for taking the time to post this.  Couple questions if that’s ok…

I see on the initial infographic that you posted, that in the last column, there is reference to traveling from a “strictly controlled area”, which I presume to be the “red zones”?

Would you happen to have a link that shows us what these areas are?

Also, how does this affect interprovincial travel by car?  
 

And hotels?  I assume they will want some sort of verification of a Covid test upon checking in?

Thanks again.

Nope. Its about percentages. 

44 (maybe 45 depending on where you look) transgenders were killed in the US in 2020 out of 21570 murders.

That’s 0.2% (.002) of the murders.

What percentage of people identify as transgender in the US?  Approximately .4% (.004)  based on various surveys.

Back to the topic on hand.  LGBT+ want to get married?  Fine by me.  Whatever.

Most of those photos were taken during or just after they were put together. Photos with citizen/patients were probably discouraged for privacy reasons? But they were out there.

 

 

Surely some Thai with an IPhone would have taken pictures when “quarantined” and it would have made the rounds on Facebook.  But nope.

Clark shoes are sold in Thailand in major malls.  High quality, a bit pricey but within the ranges for Clarks sold in the US.  They were about the only shoes I wore for years until I retired. 
This gives you an idea of their offerings.

I grew up on Clark’s desert boots but the last couple pairs I bought (within the last 5 years) were extremely disappointing.  Same thing happened with Doc Martens.  Something about the leather….it just never broke in right.   I think my next pair of shoes are going to have to be custom made…just have to figure out who can do the best job here in Bangkok as I already have the leather.

You’d need some more information to determine if that were so.

 

In particular you would need to know the absolute number of fully vaccinated and partially vaccinated.

 

Odd though, you seem to have missed the 85% (helpfully colored red).

Yes.  Absolute numbers are essential to making any determination in addition to other information that is missing.

For example,

What is the percentage of people who have died when comparing it to the overall total population of Chiang Mai Province?  

What was the health status (height/weight, alcohol consumption, diet, pre-existing conditions etc etc) of each and every individual that died.

It’s necessary to parse all the relevant information in a granular way before making any proclamations.

Chiang Mai Covid related deaths.....

Not quite sure what to make of this.  Is being partially vaccinated better than being fully vaccinated?

Why would you self isolate?

 

If you don’t feel sick you almost certainly won’t test for COVID and if you din’t feel sick how would you know you are infected?

 

 

And therein lies the catch 22.  If the vaccines lower the chances of being symptomatic if infected, then the vaccinated might very well be the potential “super-spreaders”.  Because, as you say…

”If you don’t feel sick you almost certainly won’t test for COVID and if you din’t (sic) feel sick how would you know you are infected?”

Fully vaccinated people are almost twice as likely to have no symptoms than unvaccinated people if they catch COVID-19, a study suggests

Just about every private hospital will have a website with the health check up package prices and what is included….

here’s one to get you started…

Can’t say what the government hospitals offer.

I'm not selling to Asia. I'd be selling to US and EU on Etsy or Ebay. I have substantial experience selling on both of these platforms. I feel more confident about my decision to import after reading your unsubstantiated objections about "nobody wants Jewelry in the US" or "I can't get a reliable safety-deposit box in Thailand." That's just nonsense. No offense and nothing personal. You're entitled to your opinion. 

“Nobody wants jewelry in the US” might be unsubstantiated but I’d be willing to bet that very few people would be willing to buy a high priced piece of jewelry from some random guy on EBay located in Thailand.

In case you aren’t paying attention, heavily vaccinated nations are seeing big drops in new infections, like UAE, Israel, and Japan.

So are the least vaccinated nations such as Kenya etc etc etc

I don’t need fancy.  I value quality and good value.
