I had my first jab of vaccine a couple of days ago (Pfizer). Nurse told me that I should drink a lot of water after. I said to her, I will drink a lot, but not water, beer. God luck she said. Day after the jab a smaller pain in the arm and so far nothing else.

You do understand that there is a sizeable percentage of the population who don't want to be vaccinated?

I understand that pretty well, and I also understand that many of those don not want to be vaccinated because what they are offered is Chinese vaccin that have been proofed to not protect from the delta-variation that now is most common in Thailand. Also the Chinese vaccin give higher risk for partial facial paralysis (you can read about that in Lancet). Finally, no other country believe in the mix of vaccines that Thailand prefer to give. So yes, I understand, and I also understand why. Do you?   

I believe that everyone want all to be vaccinated as quick as possible. To achieve that the first step is to make registration easy. Thailand with its neurotic control behavior can of course not see what the important thing is and make a mess of it just like always.

My answer is a no. I was offered Sinovac about 1 month ago, but why should I take a vaccine that not even the health ministry believes in.

Seems like that someone finally has get the idea that brown envelopes is not the right solution.

And of course he forget to tell that no other country have think that this kind of mix is a good idea or that studies have show that the risk of Bell's Palsy, a type of facial paralysis, is higher after Sinovac Biotech Ltd's vaccin (The Chinese just happened to forget to test for that).

what is the point of these declarations if they don't investigate where the money came from

The point is that in Thailand you are a star if  you are rich, no matter where the money comes from.

Before Songkran this year Thailand was ranked as number 143 among the countries with most Covid-19. Today it is ranked as number 40. We all now how is to blame for the mess. Of course he would never say that as it in his mind would be to loose his face. Dear sir believe me, most people living in Thailand already think that you have loose your face, or att least put it high upp in your a**.

I wonder what applies to Foreign Currency Accounts.

Last sentence in the article says,

“Protection will only be provided to accounts in the baht currency. In case a financial institution gets its licence revoked, the account holder will get their money back within the sum covered within 30 days,”

I guess the regime bless the Covid-19, because now they can blame the lack of tourist on that instead of their own mistakes and of course the mess around Covid-19 here is not because of mistakes from the regim, it is because the farrangs (sarcasm). By the way Philippines have stopped travel to Thailand and Sweden advises against it. Be sure that more will come. I feel pity for the thai people who have a government that only try to find more ways to kill the people and put more money in their own pockets.

Yeah, that's what you lot say when you need something from them dirty foreigners. Otherwise, foreigners are blamed for almost anything and everything - including why you didn't have your no. 2 this morning. Out with it now - what do you all want this time?

I thought this statement was his number 2 for today.

Nothing made in China works

Wrong. Look at Covid19 for example, seems to work pretty well. 

This will never get good before PM realize that he have a nut in the health ministry.

I stupidly miscalculated the money I had to deposit to reach the 800K, 3 months ago. I have planned to go tmorrow to Chaeng Watthana to renew and decided to update my passbook, when I realized in horror that I'm short 18K -not for a lack of funds, but a lack of smarts obviously. I am thinking about still going and hope for the best, i.e. an IO that won't be too picky, since it's not a big amount. I will deposit the missing funds tonight but as soon as they check the passbook they will see that, of course. If that doesn't work, my last resort will be an agent. Any advice? Thank you all.

No problem, go to an visa agent they fix it for 12000 - 24 000 Baht. 

A sensible statement. What I do not understand, however, is that those in charge in Thailand have not understood what marketers in other countries have known for decades, namely that the best sales channel is not advertising, it is satisfied customers. In the case of Thailand, this would mean that they provide relief for foreigners who already live / are in Thailand instead of treating us as criminals, unwelcome or sixth class citizens.

that will make a change from us. Instead of writing to our friends in other countries, that Thailand is a <deleted>ty country, we would write that Thailand is nice and it treat foreigners well. That will get tourists here as soon as possible without paying millions of Baht on advertising that does not work. "Make Thailand to the LOS again".

I do not understand why he run away if he tried to be captured. What a failure if he had succeed. 

I am not a civilian from any of the countries you mention, but the normal rule is that you pay income tax, pension is an income, in one country, not in other countries. Normally is the country where you get the income the country where you also should pay the tax.

Could the reason be that the people in the regim not yet have find out how they  are going to make the most money for them self in this disaster? 

Well, thinking of why most tourist come to Thailand I guess that the hookers in other countries have a good time now.

They forgot to mention that tourists probably have to pay for it and that it probably leaks data like a sieve.
