While Thailand is "amber" you just need to be tested and do home quarantine. No requirement to be vaccinated.

Not officially, if renewing from Thailand.

The introduction to Woody Allen's Manhattan is sublime.

All very efficient. I registered in May but didn't get my appointment until 30 July (AZ vaccine, no charge). My second jab is due in mid-October.

Good question. I would think a severe depression, massive unemployment, businesses going bust with all the concomitant social and mental health issues. Maybe it would be survivable but a horrible cost.

I wonder if the economy can survive another 7-8 weeks of lockdown?

Presumably the number of deaths will continue to rise over the next week or so as they reflect the high number of infections 2-3 weeks ago? At least the infection rate has stayed relatively stable following the weekend numbers. Some reason for hope.

You can renew at any time.

You can leave Bangkok but are likely to need to quarantine at home in Roi Et.

Does Hua Hin require visitors from Bangkok to quarantine on arrival? Or is no longer required as both provinces are now deep-red?

And the 2009 double execution was for drug trafficking not murder!

Strange thread. Taxis are allowed to operate.

The Sun doesn't really count as a proper newspaper. It's trash/garbage.

I believe this was yesterday. But still no idea what the additional restrictions to people's mobility will mean!

What did the locals do?

Is it generally the case that people who have had Covid still need to be vaccinated? Won't they already have anti-bodies?

Come on you know very well, that children are very unlikely to be badly affected even if they get the virus. Schools in the UK have been open for months but the under 18s are entirely unvaccinated. There may be a remote risk of a child getting very sick or dying, like there is with regular flu, but in that case schools may as well be closed forever.

The last time it was carried out in Thailand was in 2018. They use lethal injection now.

Thailand already has the death penalty for murder and drug trafficking. The two Burmese convicted of the Koh Tao murder were sentenced to death.

By living conditions I just meant no suitable learning space in the home. How a family with 3 or more kids learning online at home copes, I have no idea!

And what makes the situation even sadder here in Thailand, is that a huge number of Thai kids will not even be having online classes as they don't have the technology or appropriate living conditions.

Unfortunately, I think you're probably right. I'm holding out for September/October, but then I'm an eternal optimist!!

I guess some of us consider education, socialisation skills and child development to be vital. As you know, I think schools in Thailand were closed far too early, and I hope they are prioritised for re-opening when the wave is over. I'm no fan of the UK government, but I wish the Thai government placed a similar value on education. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/14/uk/england-schools-hit-by-coronavirus-pandemic/index.html
