Down so much that Thailand is now 8th worst in the world for new cases, 6th for new deaths and 7th for critical cases (all figures from https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ )

 

Also Thailand is tenth in daily recoveries.

'Pattaya Police are checking CCTV footage nearby for further investigation.'  That's all they ever do.  Do they ever spot speedsters and red light runners during their daily viewing hours?  I thought not.

I never thought anyone here gets a speeding ticket. I googled that as a question The one response I did get was 70% of all the fines never are paid.

Where in CA?

Palo Alto 35 years then the rest Capitola, San Jose and Freont

Been retired since 2014 from living in California. Moved here 2016. I first was able to exercise 20-30 hrs a week daily thanks to the fine weather. In CM I have rarely missed a day of exercise thank to even better weather than CA.

Is the Airport Mall still doing vaccine shots?. I need my Pfiser booster now that I have waited the six months

COVID Foreign Community Support Group Chiang Mai has not been updated since March 8th. I need my Pfiser booster now that I have waited the six months

The last time this was updated as March 8th. No response to those asking when the resumption will begin again.

Please can anybody find any updated news on resumption!

Boosters being offered at 4 locations in Chiang Mai on a regular basis with choice of vaccines.

Can you tell me locations as I made the waiting period just today for Pfizer Booster here in CM

Thai stick. Back in the 70's this was the top demand of the all true connoisseurs.

Legalising rope will never have anything close to that attraction. 

Yesterday I sent a message to Covid International Community support CM and still awaiting help on the question

It may well be true that some 5% of the American population hanker for rice from their homeland, just as my wife did when she was living in Egypt. But I'm sure that it doesn't give jasmine rice, nice though it may be, any notable 'tourism pulling power'.

True but I was stating the popularity is golden. 5% of the population is way off. Get a grip on Americans

I wasn't aware that Jasmine Rice was known for its 'tourism pulling power either'. In fact I'd suggest that most foreign rice consumers probably have no idea where the rice they eat comes from.

That is simply not true. The real attraction is Thailand's rice. Sold in 25 or 50 pound bags. Asian in America buy only ours here.

I have just had my third booster shot of Pfizer, 3 months to the day after my second Pfizer shot.

 

Received all three shots at government hospital free of charge.

 

Side effects from booster where terrible and lasted 3 days.  Massive headache.  Severe joint and muscle pain, diarrhea.

Where is your location?

Who told you that?

 

If you have had only AZ as your last shot then yes the wait time for your booster is only 3 months!

I failed to locate the one post I read. A clinic in San Kamphaeng District 

I read here that the Pfiser booster now is only a three month wait now, instead of the six month. I went to Airport Central second floor last month and was turned away as my second shot was not yet at six months so I need to know if this change too three months is true.

Glad to see another ex-Silicon Valley member here. I started my Silicon Valley career as a postdoc at Stanford back in 1987, then moved to Xerox PARC for a while, then a slew of  startup companies.

 

I had the chance to travel all over the world, including my first trip to Thailand in 1989. Once I had to do some product training in India and added some other stops to make it a complete around the world trip. It's how I acquired the travel bug and eventually ended up living in Thailand.

I worked my first real career job around the corner from that Xerox PARC on California Ave with Beckman Spinco. Expediter for Engineering then Engineering Buyer then Senior Electronics Buyer for Manufacturing.

Purchasing Manager at various high tech companies in Silicon Valley. Rewarding career 

I think that is not at all the case in the entire South. I would say that almost all Asian restaurants have Mexicans as cooks.

My November drop by at Promenada this time took 38 seconds unlike the last one that took almost 60 seconds.

Any news about the booster from them? 

Aging is the main reason, I'm 72 and changes are expected. I too do fast walks 6 to 8 k but lost my gut three years back from my quitting two beer.s a day enjoyment.

Chiang Mai immigration now requires a detailed printout of your bank book covering at least one year since your last extension.

Best that you photo copy the particular letter version as my Bangkok bank points out various versions exist.

Pilsener's were my only preference but not drank any beers going on four years now.  I voted Tiger from that list.
