I think tourists have already 'moved on' to other destinations due to the terrible barriers to come here, closures, restrictions, and the entire mismanagement of Covid. Thailand, with only about 70 million people, has been having the 7th highest reported daily Covid death rate IN THE WORLD during weekdays. Hard to believe just how bad that is. They even beat India on many days. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries 'Move on' somewhere else is certainly a fitting name for their program.

Thailand is like a blind man constantly walking into pointy sticks that they placed in their own path. Yet another obstacle doomed upon launch.

Thailand's hottest nightlife now is on 'Firewalking Street'.

Not a sandbox, but a sandtrap.

Japan realizes that Thailand has not had much improvement with railways since the last time they were here. Riding a train is like an offroad adventure. Officials still think that trains here should run on batteries. Thank you Japan for your generous charity handout.

Another clear sign of which side this government is on and cuddling up to. One reason the ASEAN countries exist as a group is to stand together to avoid being singled out and be bullied by China. This event must be like a NATO meeting hosted by Moscow.

And what does his skin colour have to do with it?

The entire island is a quarantine zone. As predicted, the infected will keep passing Delta around until most of them have had at least 2 doses of an effective vaccine. Why do they seem so surprised?

I come for the ease of getting quality vaccines.

At least it is finally deep enough to use those subs.

EVERYONE over 12 should receive the Pfizer vaccine. Enough with the Chinese vaccines already that don't stop Delta. Since the hospitals are not being overwhelmed, which is nearly the only benefit of Sinovac, it is priority now to slow transmission rates to see an end to this.

Yes, the bad smell and black water comes from all the overflowing septic tanks that get washed clean with reverse flowing pressurized stormwater in the drains during a heavy storm. One benefit of living in Jomtien was that I never had to pump out a septic tank at my house as the rains and floods flushed out all the waste from it automatically. All kinds of pathogens in that wicked brew.

When I lived near there, I watched them work for many months building this elaborate and expensive storm runoff T-junction. There was a large underground concrete drain enclosure bunker taking all the water from beach road and from the street adjoining it at this T intersection. The overflowing manhole cover in the middle of the intersection indicates a blockage to the enclosure from the intersecting street storm drain. The pressure must have worked around the underground side of the costly structure, washing it away. So glad I don't have to put up with months of construction again and traffic jams, but feel sorry for those that will be impacted by this result of poor engineering and construction.

Those with Fhiser, can Bragg about it.

The point is approximately 119 countries accept Astrazenica at the moment, whereas only 45 accept Sinovac: https://blog.wego.com/astrazeneca-approved-countries/ Countries that have approved the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine The following countries have given the Oxford-AstraZeneca/Vaxzevria/Covishield vaccine the go-ahead categorized by region. Some countries may only approve or administer AstraZeneca under specific brand name, so it’s best to conduct further research before making any decision.

Now one can use the Huawei Chinese 5G spy network, to access their Chinese vaccine records, for the Chinese virus, using their Chinese phone. Lovely.

I hope they won't suggest taking a cow deworming drug for a variant named 'Mu'.

Astrazenica seems just fine, whereas only 45 countries in the world recognize Sinovac as an acceptable vaccine to allow you in. Notable, are the countries not on the list. https://visaguide.world/news/45-world-countries-recognise-chinese-sinovac-vaccine-for-travel-amid-covid-19/

Sad that some women must have had a jab in order to get a jab.

Perhaps he was just getting away for a sanity break. You know, Osama Bin Laden was hiding in his house, stuck with his 3 wives for years. I think that he called the Navy seals himself.

OK, suit yourself. If you have the time to wait for all the formalities to come in, while being unvaccinated, that's fine. From the results of all the testing so far done in a lot of places, you have a pretty good idea what works and what doesn't. Some things they come up with are quite questionable like those that have gravitated to the horse parasite drug invermectin. The mixed approach of AZ then Pfizer is being done by many countries already. For me, I have Pfizer first and soon Pfizer second, however, I'll boost it with Moderna, which is interchangeable with Pfizer.

As I mentioned, lots of information on the success of mixing AZ - Pfizer. Hard to find any successful tests reported with Sinovac to Pfizer. I would go with what is proven to work: https://www.pharmaceutical-technology.com/features/covid-19-vaccine-mixing-astrazeneca-pfizer/ https://theconversation.com/covid-vaccines-combining-astrazeneca-and-pfizer-may-boost-immunity-new-study-163667 https://www.manchester.ac.uk/discover/news/covid-vaccines-combining-astrazeneca-and-pfizer-may-boost-immunity--new-study/ https://www.bbc.com/news/health-57636356 https://www.bbc.com/news/health-57636356

Many. Google for more. Here's a few study summaries with links to get started: https://www.healthline.com/health-news/heres-how-well-covid-19-vaccines-work-against-the-delta-variant#Vaccines-vs.-Delta-variant

Finally they are listening to the experts and the data, and are coming up with an acceptable combination. The delay caused by the Sinovac may be coming to an end.
