There's no shortage in the US. I had my choice of Pfizer, Moderna or J&J at the corner pharmacy last week without waiting. It would seem the embassy's should be getting sufficient supply to provide to the citizens abroad.

Great to see the express rollout now in the US after all the stupidity and needless deaths of  the Trump Era when everything relating to the pandemic was botched. All my Irish family in CT have had their 2 Pfizer jabs, including my  15 and 16 year old grandkids ...

No. 

They closed it and everybody is incredulous .

But that's surely a good sign that all is normal in the "Thai Logic" department.

Western governments have a lot to learn about strong leadership.

Did you use the word leadership in regard to Thailand ? Dictatorship is probably more accurate... Easy to lead when there is no one allowed to challenge your autocratic and undemocratic edicts ..

So when an excited "All Thai " lady messages me with a screenshot of her official appointment at Central Wherever in July saying after this you can come back to me .... me with my 2XPfizer certifcate.. I should just smile to myself and say .. poor deluded innocent , or what ? I admire her faith in Cha Cha Cha... as we call him not so privately .

The people of Phuket have been doing it hard for 18 months now.

And before that the people of Phuket were "doing" the "turkeys" arriving there for holidays ready for plucking. Payback time !

Thailand must be on the agenda of every Chinese "to do " list ... such an important country ! Vital Ally... but wait... sure we already own this one don't we ?

And, I see absolutely no sign thus far that anyone in the Thai government is trying to prioritize my access to a CV vaccine.

So sorry for your plight but nobody in Thai Government gives a toss about your situation . If they don't care about the lives of their own good people why do you think they would for one minute care about an inferior foreigner .

I suppose another word could be used, e.g. having "woken" up to the fact, but it all depends on the sentence.

Thank you.  this is now being purposely used to appear " cool" . That's my thinking . Getting on a bit now ...

Do what I did, I looked it up to be sure.....

Thank you ... good advice .. but I'm not fully woke yet , it's  only 8am here...

Woke is a slang term that is easing into the mainstream from some varieties of a dialect called African American Vernacular English (sometimes called AAVE). In AAVE, awake is often rendered as woke, as in, “I was sleeping, but now I'm woke.” 'Woke' is increasingly used as a byword for social awareness.

Not an inspiring explanation ... for me anyhow.

Is it because people are woke,

Any brave soul willing to coherently explain to normal people what this word means besides waking up ? Suspicious now that the wannabe  cool and trendy are using it without even remote comprehension of what it means. Safe enough because I don't think anyone does know what it means .

Bangkok Airways owns Samui airport

so they can do whatever they want

hence the prices and the lack of concurrence

One stroke of the pen by Chan O Cha would fix that .but ... who owns the Airline ?

My local club Crystal Palace parted ways with affable pensioner Roy Hodgson who was one of my PE teachers in my first term of secondary school.

Good read this week ... thank you ! I always worried about the lack of cop on when I heard that some unfortunate club...or in one case country... has hired this man to manage. You know him... so could you enlighten me as to whether he is a brazen chancer, actually has talent, is a very likeable guy... or rogue... or just lucky that there are so many gullible figures in football ready to employ his likes time and time again.

They have millions registered will that do ????

It's the free cow a week raffle thats gonna be the turning point in Thailand's war on Covid and vaccine rollout ! This plan will spread nationwide, and supplies of cows will become a problem, but vaccine availability will be be surplus to requirements and even the free cows will come fully vaccinated. They will become Symbols of Victory over Covid , venerated and vaccinated , and milked meticulously along with foreign tourists.

So is that about over half a million shots per day? 

Well, I guess it's good to have goals.

I'm not British , not blowing any trumpets, but didn't they get to a million a day at some stage ? ... Of course theres a little matter of the cost involved , and eh... to put it bluntly , saving money is more important than saving lives in Thailand ... sadly ... First World when promoting itself... Third World when pleading excuses. rockets and submarines .... easy ... vaccinating the population ... ah here ! thats a hard one ... as the actress said to the bishop !

And there's when I stopped reading further. 

Now I am seriously convinced that that the stories on here are chosen daily simply to draw comments and that’s what people are reading , the news stories are nonsense but the comments are entertaining . We have a similar online only news App in Ireland. Copy & Paste news … not too complicated stuff … and then comment wars on a daily basis. Good fun for all … not a bit of harm in it… carry on… Just be sure not to take the content as “ News” …

What ! that’s criminal ! Making sense is not a national tradition . Where there is peace … let me sow war… where there is understanding … let me sow confusion … and on and on….
