I never said anything about driving quality but rather about parts quality. Wee touchy huh

Quite literally because they are cheap but look Hi-So, quite pathetic. MG cars are really poorly made. I have heard that after 2 years, the problems start.

I actually contacted BioNTech and they said it was fine. The initial study was actually done with a 21day gap. Actually she got it on the 9th so it is 21 days today then. Still more resistant to what?

They can waste it on me. I have been told that my rendition of 'Me Ol' Bamboo', is quite good.

100% it's an ex boiler room pikey running it out of his Khlong Toei slum palace

Good, such a total waste of money.

My daughters school is opening on the 15th November and she is receiving her second Pfizer jab at the end of this month, only about 20days after her first.

Hmmm I would say you are half right. I think you have to understand that even if you are being polite and have all your documents in order, they are dealing with hundreds if not thousands of others who are rude and who do not have their documents in order....ever. I really hands to God never had a problem with the staff in the London embassy and I found them to be just very stressed but not intentionally rude. It is a tough job man.

That is a bloody diamond of a point, well done sir! Thankfully I have not got my policy yet and will make sure of this. I am also planning on taking two packs of my own Lateral flow tests so I will be testing myself if they try and claim I am positive.

Sorry my mistake, I need glasses. I thought you said onboard. I agree then, the parameters are massive but I would like to think statistically these checks will narrow things down a bit.

The e visa system is pretty f'ing badass and easy. I got my visa is 24hrs. I have hope for this scheme.

It is <deleted> horrendous at times, the stories my daughter and son tell me. Luckily my daughter is 5ft11, built like an athlete and slaps harder than a Russian in a slapping competition.

If you can't stomach paying 6500baht for one night in a 4* hotel, free private airport transfer, PCR test and meals, then maybe you need to look at just how much you really want to come to Thailand. This one day quarantine was so dam easy to book and you will not be spending any unnecessary time at the airport taking tests. It also comes with a full refund 7 days before date of booking and full refund or change of date if you test positive before you fly. Jai yen yen on the bashing and poking, it doesn't really help the situation.

Sorry I was not clear. The private airport transfer is part of the price and is laid on directly by my hotel. So for 6500 I get private airport transfer, 3 meals, PCR test and one night two days stay. Not too bad of a deal if you ask me.

huh, like every other country who is now letting in double jabbed travelers from specific countries only. As long as enough people are double jabbed and don't get sick, the elderly and sick take extra precautions and we continue the roll out of the 3rd jab, we should just <deleted> let it rip.

I just booked my one night with private transfer from airport and PCR test for 6500. Luckily my flight gets in at 6am so I can get my test early and the result the next morning. My deal comes with a full refund if your PCR test before travel is positive and a full refund if you cancel 7days prior to booking date. What I was most worried about was there being enough hotel rooms which are able to cater for quarantining passengers, it would seem that there are plenty right now and more hotels are starting to apply. If you can get the type of deal above, I would seriously book it now because with the refund stipulations as they are, you really have a lot to gain and much to loose. Imagine if you were all booked, visa in hand and ready to rock but there were no hotels with quarantine credentials or there were but at astronomical prices. Another worry is they wouldn't have the available staff to go to all the hotels to do the tests. Noah built the ark before the rain. Chok dee krap ????

There was a report in The UK recently which showed the lateral flow tests to actually be more accurate than previously thought. I think a lateral flow and a PCR test at the airport would work. If the flow is negative you can go home and again a show of good faith would be needed for people to self isolate until they have their negative PCR test result.

Spot on Mike. I found that even Indonesia and Indonesians are more quirky then Thai's. Indonesian art is awesome.

There will not be enough hotel rooms in quarantine hotels to cater to the influx.

Spot on. The benefit outweighs the risk here and I am under the impression that there will be a test at the airport but the next 24hrs will be done on goodwill that people will not go out slimming up the place before they get their negative result. I am pretty sure you can test negative via PCR twice in the space of 3 days because you are in the early stages of infection...so whats the difference. The fact that double jabbed people are less likely to have severe symptoms and therefore less likely to transmit is also a good point.

I cannot get my head around one issue. If everyone has to do a 1 day quarantine and thousands of people turn up, how are they going to be enough hotel rooms in quarantine hotels? I am pretty sure the vast majority of the hotels are not quarantine hotels as the the influx of tourists or non-immi's has been so low due to people staying away from the 7/10/14 day quarantine factor. So you might have a situation where people want to travel and will accept the 1 day quarantine but that there will not be another rooms to cater to the demand. Ridiculous. + I have no idea why non-immi's with houses cannot just self-quarantine at home. Ridiculous

Ho Chi Minh is so much cooler and quirkier than Bangkok. We literally keep on going just to cruise around, drink coffees and smoke cigarettes (Only place we smoke). The food, the awesome people, wicked niche architecture and boutique hotels, the ability to smoke weed, the road trips, the beaches, the hiking....the list goes on.

I wouldn't put it past them to be playing a game. Tell everyone it is ok to come, no quarantine and everyone books. Thailand makes money on the bookings and they will just then do their best to persuade you to come and spend more money you were supposed to not have to spend or they will persuade you to just keep on changing the date of your booking so they can keep the money you already spent. I wouldn't put it past them.

To the original post. I do not think it failed FDA approval as it never even got to that stage. Everyone pulled funding because it was a bit of a science fiction. If you can't get your head around the science, think of it like this. We have been using the same vaccine technology since around the 30's, IVV or Inactivated viral vaccines . In almost every other field of industry or whatever you want to compare this to, the technique has moved forward. It is just what we do as a species, we get better, we innovate; there is nothing to be suspicious about it. Props to jets, coal to nuclear, cord telephones to mobiles, gas cars to electric cars, inactivated viral vaccines to mRNA.
