    I'm right. If you think the army is going door to door to forcibly vaccinate foreigners against our will, then I think you've gone down the realm of conspiracy theory because that is never going to happen. The worst that could happen is we are given a week or so to leave the country. 

     

    I am justifiably concerned about this mafia threat by the Buri Ram governor, which at this point in time only applies to Thais. However, I don't think it will be easy to jail potentially hundreds of thousands of people. 

     

    Maybe you are right but the fear of finding yourself in a cell with 30 overpopulated people and not knowing when I could leave is a threat to be taken into account.

    Many posters have criticised my sense of entitlement.  I am curious what their nationalities are.  What degree of prejudicial thinking would make the segregation of Thais and foreigners in regards to their access to a vaccine acceptable?    

     

    My doctor at Bumrungrad anticipated that I would be able to be vaccinated in April.  As the acquisition of vaccines was delayed and then delayed again, he and more than 75,000 colleagues petitioned that the health minister, Anutin, resign.  If the government's tardiness in buying the vaccines has resulted in a shortage of doses, that makes it reasonable for foreigners to appeal to their various embassies for Vaccinations.  As a single American, not a high level decision maker, it is only appropriate for me to ask for vaccines for Americans.  Other nationalities can appeal to their own embassies and, perhaps, suggest that their embassy piggyback on an American shipment of AZ vaccines.

     

    People have referred to me as belonging to the other half which they are ashamed of.  I served my country in dicey situations for 24 years.  Which half would that put me into?   

     

    There is a certain amount of virtue signalling in some posts.  Putting America and certain Americans down does not make you a superior person.

     

    I can't find it now, but a poster on this thread posted a link to information about foreigners being able to request vaccines from their embassies.  That is helpful.  Thanks.

     

    Personally I find that you are right to ask your embassy for vaccine assistance, considering that in Thailand corruption plays the most important role that the health of its citizens. If the embassy of your respective governments did not care about their own citizens, it only means that she considers you second-rate citizens.

    Actually, it’s an excellent promotion.  It’ll keep people that don’t want to follow the rules from coming.  
     

    I think it’s a win-win.  
     

    Whenever I see a post on TVF from someone saying they’re never going to Phuket or they are cancelling a trip, I just think, think about how much of a better experience it will be for everyone else that this person didn’t bring their entitled attitude.  
     

    LOL, if the people that hate Phuket really want to harm Phuket, the best thing they could do is come to Phuket and make everyone else miserable.   

     

    If I were a tourist I would not go where there is a dictatorship but look for other places freer to have fun without threat or if there are none I would wait for it to be released somewhere.

    My glasses steam up if I wear a face mask. Particularly in a car with the aircon on. This makes driving..... awkward.

    I know for a fact that I'm not alone with this. It is a well documented problem. Yet the powers that be here seem to be completely unaware of it.

     

    Also, as far as I'm concerned, the interior of my car is as much my own personal space as that of my house.

     

     

     

     

     

    Next step put your mask at home and make sex with wife with mask or doctor certificate.

    I think you are onto something here as now China is for want of a better word 'on the nose' with many other countries at the moment(Australia included)so needs to park its money somewhere .Just hope that the same outcome we are seeing in Cambodia now with mass property developments strangling large parts of the country don't happen in Thailand but I fear this may well be exactly what happens when Chinese money is thrown around like confetti.

     

    That's exactly what the government wants to save thousands of real estate developers and the banking system from bankruptcy.The Chinese are outrages for investment in the Western world now so Thailand wants to attract them and prices will skyrocket
