Or just recycle the used masks as some entrepreneurs reportedly have done...

In Thai only. Where can unwashed foreigners get information on where they can travel in Thailand?

There's even talk of the possible need for 2-3 shots every year, i.e. about every 6 months.

So, obviously not. How can you pay income tax, having a retirement visa?

Oh, the side effects of Sinovac...

Already happening in Israel. The vaccinated people got a 'green passport' (whatever that is) to enter restaurants, etc., but have been told that it will expire 6 months after their second jab...

She wants my QR code as proof, then I will demand proof that she is an actual waitRESS...

Perhaps in the near future restaurant staff will just decline foreigners entry to restaurants: "Foreigner cannot! Too many problems with vaccination check..."

Easy in Europe, if you got vaccinated there. But I wonder, whether they will accept my Thailand vaccination Q-code abroad, e.g. in Australia, Europe, or other parts of Asia...

Same here. No cash, no trade. - Will be interesting if one get's ready to pay, and can only pay cash...

So, either we will have to download an obscure app, which is mostly in Thai, handing our phone to restaurant staff to read the information, or carry a paper document in the pocket all the time, which will, eventually, be torn and unreadable...

Well, I have to go for a haircut sometimes, but if visiting a restaurant is so much trouble, then well, 'thanks, but no thanks'. I can prepare my own food.

I am wondering, if and how a Thailand Covid Certificate or Mor Prom app will correlate with the IATA Covid app.

Right after beach lovers from the Seychelles, and billionaires from Somalia and North Korea...

The Indian Covid numbers are probably as 'reliable' as the official numbers in Thailand.

I agree. I lived in China, and I have been a couple of times to Vietnam. Apart from a few (red) flags, just like in Thailand, you won't notice 'communism', but instead lots of investment and construction. I haven't noticed much change in Thailand over the past 20 years. Yes, there are a few shopping malls more now, but, on the other hand, there are still construction sites where nothing has happened since 1997...

I don't doubt it. To name another example, Malaysia had the same GDP per capita as Thailand when it became independent, and look where they are now. Fostering backwardness, rather than education and international relations, as Vietnam does, cannot lead to recurrent economic growth, but only to stagnation. A lot can happen until 2050. Who knows, even Myanmar's economy might outstrip Thailand's by then...

I guess, it depends whether they are vegetarians due to health or ethical reasons. Obviously, if the latter, I'd call it 'hypocrisy'...

Thailand was the 'Hub of Bubbles', long before anyone else talked of travel bubbles...

That's why I never bought a calculator in Thailand. They're all broken...

Saw the other day an elderly Thai woman in a supermarket carpark with a trolley full of kitchen rolls. Looked like supply for a year...

Also, another incomplete, meaningless news item. How did the Thais get out of Afghanistan? Did they walk across the border to Pakistan, or did Thailand's government send a Royal Air Force plane to evacuate these 4 people? Or, perhaps, were they evacuated by an American or other Western country's airplane; and if so, why isn't it mentioned?

Around 1m cases in 4.5 months so far, with another 500,000 until late September (or early/mid October). Has nothing to do with reopening...

What was this guy doing on the roof of a gold shop anyway? And why is 5 P.M. for the police "night time"?

When is it available, and will they offer just one as a 'booster shot'?
