Open September.  But moderna vaccine planned to arrive in October.  

This does not add up.

You reach a point where you have so many clusters you might as well call the city one big clusterf*ck.

Driving like a farang...1000 baht, it really confuses the locals when you do the right thing.

That's covered under scary.  It's scary when someone drives correctly.

of course it has.

 

I'd love to know how much china bunged them for that endorsement.

 

Nothing.  Endorsement by WHO does not mean they tested the vaccine independently.

It only means they reviewed the evidence and documentation given to them, and that those meet the standards.

As for the accuracy of said documentation, that is for China to ensure.

First focus on the country instead of the tourists.... It seems the tourists are the most important thing in Thailand now, but first of all solve the covid crisis in the country and with the people. When you have that under control, tourist will come .. before certainly not 

Sadly, the country is tourism.  Without a tourism industry this country will crash very hard.

I will go to my local hospital on June 7.

 

I will also enquire with what brand of jab they intend to stick me with.

 

If the words 'sinovac' are uttered by anyone at the hospital I shall be walking straight back out the door.

 

My arm, my choice.

Sinopharm ok? ????

Is this even the responsibility of a consulate or embassy?

I thought the only time they would reach out to me is to evac me during a war.

There's a clinic every 5 feet.  Probably more people who know how to inject than want that vaccine.

LOL. Foreigners aren't covered here. Only Thais. Even so, it's a shocking abuse of power and human rights. Everyone should be treated with dignity and have bodily autonomy, whether Thais or foreigners. Even if this mafia like ruling is never applied to foreigners, my heart goes out to the poor Thais that may/will be affected by this. 

Not covered... today.  Could change tomorrow.

Then change back next week.

Then flip flop again the week after.

Talk about russian roulette ????

Perhaps they will hire Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf (Baghdad Bob) to handle the news ????

Thailand was among the first nations to sign the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 and seemed committed to safeguarding Human Rights in Thailand. In practice, the reality has been that the powerful can abuse the human rights of their subjects with impunity.

Thank you, yes.  Unfortunately, I believe this is not legally binding.  More of an aspirational thing.

Exactly! This is WHO's approach.

The WHO should be informed that Thai health minister is supporting forced vaccination.

 

In fact, what these 'ex-police generals' in governor chairs are doing are terrifying the population. This is completely illegal and has to be stopped. They can't restrict the rights of people based on sick mentality decisions.

Other governments have done far worse for worse reasons.  At least the populace isn't being told to shoot up bleach ????

Thank you.

So this is really happening.  Wonder how long till they expand to the rest of the country?

Will all foreigners be lined up and required to get the Chinese vaccine?

Even in the best of times, those are so boring I would not notice if they were closed ????

Considering the majority of the virus spread was domestic how so?? Even thailand admitted that the entertainment venues and migrant work camps was a root cause of the virus waze. Thailand didnt admit that letting Songkran festival and traveling out from bkk was a very bad idea.  Why penalize expats/tourists who meet all strict requirements.  

Naturally spread is domestic, not sure how else it could be.  I am referring to the introduction of new variants which existed outside of Thailand.  The only way they could get into Thailand is through the border.

I'm hearing some reports that vaccinations in certain areas (smaller villages in upcountry) might be requiring it's residents to get vaccinated or face a penalty (unsure if its just a fine or more).

Anyone hearing something along those lines?

Trying to get more clarification, and some of the finer details may not have been properly passed on.

Thank you.

Don't all the banks require you to have a job or visible source of income?

What exactly would motivate Pfizer to pay a bribe when they can sell 100% of their production in a heartbeat at almost any price they might care to name?

Maybe that's why they are not here? ????

Given that out break in Thailand, and the lack of vaccine, surely it makes sense to close the border 99%?  (Only citizens and those with a very valid reason, i.e. To help with the epidemic are allowed quarantine)?
