GREAT NEWS:
If buy 2 shots and never get them, you get a certificate to Heaven.
money-back guarantee if you go somewhere else (see rules and small print)
I wouldn't pay 1 baht upfront for anything!!!! do dah, do dah
Then you'll never have anything in Thailand, that isn't already on the shelf.
You would have to pay a deposit anywhere else in the world, for goods ordered in.

go online, easy
All done thanks for the advice. ????
Yes the online route was much easier than trying to talk to an English speaker. The necessary phone contact was then from an English speaking agent. Piece of cake.
Only needed a few calls to sort out the details needed, since it's a brand new bike on red plates, unregistered as yet. Also I was a bit perplexed at being asked for photos, at night time, before cover started, but the agent confirmed cover was in place following my payment. So all good in the end. I was concerned because it's new on red plates, and parked overnight in a hotel car park until we go home today.
I tried a couple of other companies, but Roojai was the only one interested.

Roojai.com One of the simplest for a foreigner and cheapest. Do everything online.
Thanks. I'll give them another go then.
I contacted them previously, chatted at length, and asked for an emailed copy of the policy details, but got nothing.

Can anybody recommend an insurance company who will provide 1st class insurance for a motorbike?

generally very good particularly for smaller bikes... I think you can go to thailand post and they will show the prices online by size and distance
Thanks.
I saw a very good article when I googled the subject, with all the bike sizes, zones and prices detailed for Thai Post, and the authors personal experiences, with glowing praise of that service.
I was just curious to know if anyone had tried the accompanied cargo route on the railways. I presume that would be the mode of transport for the Thai Post method also, but at least you would be able to load and check it's handling along the way, as well as getting yourself to your destination, assuming you are travelling there also, which I would be. Load up, climb aboard, get some shut eye, hop off and climb back on the bike at the other end, sounds like the plan for me if I run out of steam, and don't want to do the return trip home from North to South.

Has anyone used the accompanied cargo rail service that allows you to transport your bike with you on the rail journey / ticket?

Yes, except of course you have to quarantine upon arrival, (21 days in Hong Kong for example), plus days between first and second jab, and then you have to quarantine upon return to Thailand, (14, 10 or 7 days...it's a moveable feast). So of course it's feasible, but the time required is problematic.
Every vaccine will be potentially associated with blood clot issues, since it is a general medical condition in the general populace.
Until extensive medical case studies are conducted, blood clots cannot be directly associated with the vaccines, only suspected.
Birth control pills have been around for decades, and presumably the direct correlation of blood clots with those drugs has been proved with such medical case studies.

EMA has approved Astrazeneca but listed blood clots as a confirmed 'rare' side effects .
How about Australia then if you don't trust EU?
"EMA finds possible link"
It has been shown that the incidence of blood clots a far lower from specific vaccinated individuals, than in the general population. One could assume from this statistic that the vaccinated individuals may have got blood clots irrespective of the vaccine applied. It has also been shown that women taking birth control pills are at an even higher risk of blood clots than the general population.
Australian article states:-
“However, further follow-up of some remaining details, including information about the patient’s medical histories, and some imaging and blood test results, is still being completed."
So, nothing definitive as yet....
All this scaremongering was initially promoted by the EU, to discredit Astra Zeneca, over their dispute with them.
What puzzles me though, is that the EU continue to insist on fulfilment of their deliveries before removing the block on exports to the UK. Note, that's only the UK and Australia, 2 countries out of 120 non EU countries, I wonder why.....

10 minutes ago, EricTh said:I doubt they will be pushing Astrazeneca as their main vaccine from now on seeing as how the blood clot has been confirmed as one of the side effects by EU authorities.
Really! The last I heard was that that the WHO and the EMA had endorsed the use of Astra Zeneca vaccines.
As I understand it, blood clots are a general medical occurrence, and vaccines cannot be directly associated with the incidences.
I wouldn't believe a word that comes out of the EU, in respect to anything related to this vaccine, considering their dispute with that company and their vindictive attitude towards the UK. It's odd though, how they champion the Pfizer vaccine that also has incidents of blood clots, don't you think?

logistics - so basically higher paying jobs lost and maybe some lower paid ones back if they use the site for logistics... also potentially if this is required because of brexit this is not an economic benefit to consumers - just added cost for the same stuff.
Who's to say they will be lower paid jobs.
You also conveniently ignore the new investment of £700m for the site development, bringing additional work to the construction industry, associated suppliers and service businesses.

yet another Brexit casualty - Honda sells it's Swindon site off.

Old news, closure announced in 2019.
How is it a Brexit casualty since;
“The new opportunities outlined by Panattoni will be a major step in Swindon’s rejuvenation following Honda’s exit. Their investment offers a significant boost to the local economy and we are excited by the prospect of this redevelopment creating thousands of jobs for Swindon and the surrounding area."
Just goes to prove Brexit is not one way bad news, as you chaps would like to imply.

Oh my, you really don't like being pulled up do you. If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen, and quit baiting.
Have you not heard? The EU have backtracked on their threat to ban the export of the vaccines.
And yet more misery for Europe, since your wonderful EU commission are yet again in delay with their order for the Novax vaccine. Thank God for Brexit....

But that is unconviniant i guess to you as a reply to get what was in the contract ????
Just checking back over this thread, and stumbled across your little nugget.
They did not pay up front for the development of the AZ vaccine!!
Have you read the contract?

The contract clearly states in item 7.1, that the payments are for drug and packaging components, with absolutely no reference to establishing a manufacturing / production facility.
Edited yesterday at 12:19 AM by cocoonclub
I accept I omitted to reference item 7.2 also, my error.
However, in the context of the debate, I suggest you read the Schedule A, which goes into detail and itemises the breakdown of expenditure of the E336M, "initial funding", under discussion here. Then come back and tell me where it specifically stipulates that the EU's funding is to be allocated to the construction of a new manufacturing facility or extension thereto, or for the purchase of additional manufacturing plant to upscale the production capacity for the EU's exclusive order supply.
The contract invokes "best efforts", it does not guarantee the supply in the proposed timeframe, nor does it dictate the exclusivity of the manufacturing capacity for the EU from the European facility.

According to you own quote, that’s not what he said or implied.
You need to check back, since this, as stated, is a direct copy of what he said, hence the italics.

If you read the post you replied to,, your reply and my reply to your post it should be very clear. If not, please refrain from writing gobbledegook.
But I get it, you don't like to be called out from writing misinformation.
Sorry, did we upset your delicate sensibilities...
I suggest you go back and read the whole thread, and try to understand properly, before casting aspersions on my posts. It's not clever!
There's no misinformation, just a clear lack of any comprehension on your part.

Now this is not the topic, but we're talking about the past. UK Foreign aid has just been extremely reduced (. 7% to. 5%
It's still higher than the EU's total commitment of 0.49%. So what's your point?
I'd be interested to see your comparison with the EU's present day contributions. No doubt they have shrunk also...
20 hours ago, Hi from France said:With "aside from" the claim gets more credible.
Selective quotations are not clever sunshine! If you are able to read and understand plain English, then you would see that the post referred to the total EU contributions as a percentage of GNI.
20 hours ago, Hi from France said:Other issues are accounting of what is labelled as "development aid" you'd be surprised
You'll have to explain that one in clearer English, since in it's original state it is incomprehensible.

To start with, It's a fake quote and that's against forum rules
What is? It was your quote - not mine.
There you go again twisting the thread to hide your embarrassment.
This is what you said; -
The EU made a prepayment of 336 million euro in August 2020, which has been invested by AZ in its production facilities, just to be told the order could not be delivered.
Clearly implying that the EU made a direct investment into the new production facility, contrary to my assertions that there is no evidence to indicate the EU requiring that prepayment be used for new production facilities.
The contract clearly states in item 7.1, that the payments are for drug and packaging components, with absolutely no reference to establishing a manufacturing / production facility.
So how do you know that AZ used the EU's E336m to finance the new factory? Show me where that is stated.....
The EU never came on board until the drug was fully developed and approved. It's the UK that made the development investment, not the EU, then they have the audacity to demand first call on the vaccine - despicable, and threaten a ban on export thereby interfering with legal company contracts.
I would like to see your evidence that the EU have the authority to interfere with international contract law.
In the meantime, please stop blowing smoke in an attempt to justify your misguided statement.
It's a pity Boris won't retaliate with the ban on export of the drug components that are used to produce the vaccine, including the Pfizer one, then UvdL might stop grandstanding, and realise her stupidity.

OK here is what we know.
But of course by using creative accountancy and different methodology you are trying to prove what? The UK gives more foreign aid than the EU?
Yes. For crying out loud - read the chart to which my comments refer.
The UK are the highest percentage of GNI contributor from the DCA members aside from Norway, Luxembourg.
What's so difficult for you to understand in that statement. The figure you quote is for the EU countries in total and only represents 0.49% of their GNI, whereas the UK contributes 0.7% of their GNI. There's nothing creative about those statistics, which are not accounting by the way, just simple statistical facts.

Moderna at private hospitals: It'll cost 3,400 baht for two jabs, can pay from Thursday

My wife's just had an Astra Zenaca jab from the government scheme, for free. It sounded like it was professionally handled, with 2 qualified doctors administering the jabs, a full pre-assessment, and informative advice on side effects / after care during the half hour post jab monitoring period.
I told her not to have it if she wasn't happy with the arrangements or the vaccine proposed, but all ok. Second jab appointment in 4 weeks time.
