When the variant hits Delta Tai Chi, I'm going out to party no matter what!!

Just came back today, just a single wave through at one point and a "if not Chiang Mai license plates go in this lane" about 5 km after as you approached Chang Mai on the 11.  Nothing else.

That might explain the gigantic queue I witnessed at 14:30?

 

 

Yup,

BYW stopped in Phitsanulok for the night on the way back to CM. No alcohol any day/time until 8/31.  There was only a couple of small Sing's in the minibar that the hotel would not replenish.  The balance of luck in the universe has been restored.

My Medpark experience today.

Arrived at 11:30am for my 1pm appt and, as several people have pointed out, no problem showing up early.  Got right in line (maybe 4 people ahead of me) to the QR code survey which was taking most people's time in line.  On to the registration where they segregated us old-timers (60 and up) to a short line (only 2 people ahead of me) and was immediately asked if want Pfizer despite several e-mails confirming I was for sure to only get AZ.  I graciously accepted ("Thank you God" from Animal House in my heart) and was sent immediately to sit in a well organized and distanced seating area waiting for my number to be called.  Seven numbers after I sat down (and a!most immediately had been given a blood pressure reading within a minute of sitting) I went to fill out a couple of forms (mostly signatures, a few check boxes), then off to the shot that took 45 seconds which included me taking a pic of the vial lot number.  Off then to sit for 30min blood pressure again, appt for next shot handed to me, then gone. 1hr from the time I walked in to heading back to the truck.

Now, I have to tell you why so quick.  The AZ shots were not going to show up at the hospital until the afternoon (wife in the right place at the right time overheard the Dr's talking amongst themselves) so they were only processing us old and the infirm for Pfizer.  Just the luck of the draw.

Parking was a bit of a bitch in the hospital parking but we found one before having to shuffle off to park nextdoor.

Most common is the smell from the drain when water goes down but soon passes.

If it is the actual water coming out, thats a concern, and points to a contaminent and may be you should collect some direct from the shower head and take it to the building office.

If smell not passing, could be a break in the water trap that is allowing the water to drain out and sewer gas to back out to the bathroom.

Ya, lots have change in the last month.  Moderator can close (or delete) this post as I don't want to hand out bad info.

Thanks

Only one movie opening gave me chills when I saw it in the cinema at 14 and continues to give me a shiver every time I see it.

 

Scarily prophetic, like Idiocracy.

You sure it is not coming from the drain?

There are reports on Aseannow of foreigners receiving Pfizer shots as of now.

I made an appt a while ago before Pfizer was a choice.  They will not let me change from my AZ to Pfizer despite being earlier in line.

Just e-mailed Medpark to make sure my appt date and time in about a week have not somehow changed and if there is a choice between AZ or Pfizer (only AZ as a choice when I signed up).  I have already checked up on this appt about 8 days ago and the response was a confirmation of the appt for AZ. Will post what they reply to this latest one.

Received an e-mail back from Medpark about 90min after I sent it with confirmation of the date and time and will be AZ with no option to change.

I was just chatting on my ham radio to a guy who lives in Penrhyn Atoll, north Cook Islands.  Looks a nice sort of place ????

 

And the nearest 7/11 is how far from his house?  I think I've been living in Thailand too long!

The Thai government might as well use this leaflet

You forgot "Wheelbarrow"

"is she really going to take him home tonight"

If it is a Dell, they have a power sensor circuit that checks to make sure you are using a true Dell power supply.  Have had 2 of those go bad after owning 5 Dells over a long time and are able to be repaired.

Will this be sufficient?

You know, I never thought about how much viral transmission there might be in a good post coital queef until I saw this pic.  Anybody seen the study and can post it?

"Is she really going out with him"

Try traveling on Sinovac ,Cannot

Even vaccinated with AZ, depending on where it was made, is tricky:

https://apnews.com/article/europe-business-lifestyle-health-travel-f678a53270470d9b35ce6259e48548bf

Rumors are the US is considering a vaccinated only entry and Sino-whatever is not hardly on anyone's approved vaccine list outside of Asia.  Trying to hold out for Pfizer but am signed up for an appt for AZ which I will take.

Was it a consulate or the Embassy in the US that issued it, which consulate if that?

Just e-mailed Medpark to make sure my appt date and time in about a week have not somehow changed and if there is a choice between AZ or Pfizer (only AZ as a choice when I signed up).  I have already checked up on this appt about 8 days ago and the response was a confirmation of the appt for AZ.

Well. If this grim possibility proves to come true I think I would rather be on the fringe of a small rural village surrounded by fields than a fancy apartment on Sukhumvit.

 

Time to start gradually stocking my doomsday larder and getting some booze in.

 

 

Wife has her nicely sloped 40 acres with an all year stream bordering one edge a road bordering another in the wilds of Issan.  String up a bit of solar, battery, sneak in a Starlink system, and were good to go.  Can always ferment rice (the right way) to make hooch.

I did also registered on that website but nothing happened as OP said, then when they opened the registration in a more better way on https://thailandintervac.com/  where you can see/find which facilities accepting registration and if you keep coming back to the site you would see which of the medical centers or hospitals accepting registration.

 

I did register with Medpark Hospital and fill up the form attached what needed (I chose 13th Aug at 2.30 pm as my preferred date) and then received an email telling me that my registration is a success and i have to wait for a confirmation email for vaccination appointment, but after 2 days nothing happened so I called Medpark hospital directly and told about my registration, they asked me some questions about my registration info. then they confirmed to me (yes) they have my details and I was already booked for the 16th at 2.30 pm of this month to go and get my Pfizer first shot.

I did ask them why there is no confirmation email of the appointment, the answer was they don't know but he said good that I called. and to be sure after another 3 days I called again to be sure that all good and it looks like it is still good to go.

 

So guys, try to register in one of the facilities close to you https://thailandintervac.com/  and follow up your registration and don't feel frustrated if you have to wait till someone picks up your call (that's what happened with me but all good ).

 

lets hope that the 16th will be still standing and not canceled..!

 

Stay Safe

I found e-mailing Medpark was much better than calling where you would be on hold for 10's of minutes and no answer.  E-mails were answered in under 6 hrs.
