Anutin father has a big construction company.....

I think that family owns Siam Cement Group (or has a major interest in it).

No, I’m just kidding.

Everything else you can compare relatively good with the situation in Europe now, where the weather now is similar to Thailand, and where the numbers are dropping strongly due to summer.

Numbers of infections in the UK are increasing. And it’s summer.

One has to wonder at the business acumen and brainpower of the "executives" who ordered the big aircraft back when, which lost money from day one and were never a viable commercial purchase in the first place.

 

These people should be singled out and their financial records scrutinised, just in case backhanders were offered for the purchase/leasing of these particular aircraft – – and we all know that is a distinct possibility here in Thailand.

It’s a good point, and I’ve thought all along that the A380s were acquired purely for ‘face’ reasons. Even efficient airlines are struggling to make money with them. Even though the A380s weren’t purchased outright the A340-500s were, and that was a very dubious acquisition and certainly one worthy of scrutiny.

Justice and Thailand certainly do not sit easily together.

They’re not even in the same building. 

Next. 

I’m sure I’ve read this before somewhere, about once per year for the 29 years I’ve been here. 

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if ‘AstraZeneca’ is spelt ‘Sinovac’ on the label.

They did Astra zinica made by a company owned by a certain family 

I was being sarcastic.

Because they don't have the know how.  They have a company here granted  liscense to make  Astrazenica  and so far has not been able to produce the large quantities it was supposed to. Has pushed back by a month some shots  sold to Phillippines as they have not made enough for Thailand yet.  To be expected as they have never made this before.

I was being sarcastic.

There is at this moment in time, a Rural Doctors Society who are making a big noise about the lack of vaccines ( B.P. this AM ), accusing the government of covering up the facts..

They are saying the Government has had to purchase 500,000 Doses of AZ from S. Korea to make up a short fall in promised Doses from SB, at a premium price.

These Doctors are also saying that the Gov,t has instructed that all vails of vaccine, which are designated a 10 Dose Vail, are now to give 12 shots per vial, thus reducing costs by 20 %, and presumably efficacy also by 20 %.

 

I did see that article and now expect a ‘fake news’ rebuttal followed by complete denial from those in charge.
