They seem to mean business this time around and it's actually looking surprisingly sensible so far. Excellent news.

Why be coy about it? Just tell "us"!

Always happy to be enlightened...

These muppets need locking up.

This is unclear whether this is the extension ending by 29 July or starting by that date though. 

That is the last day a Covid extension can be applied for.

No. That's just obscene.

Then the question remains, why don't you simply buy N95 or PPE2 masks for those situations you now see the need to "double mask"?

The timing of this finding is perfect. If only the same could be said about the timing of the nationwide vaccination rollout!

Considering that a big news story from Bangkok where a Thai police officer had been implicated in an abduction preceded this incident by just a few weeks, this Chinese guy's claim that he feared something similar was about to happen to him cannot be dismissed out of hand.

It doesn't help that I don't see any evidence of professional police work in these videos.

Not sure if this thread is a joke or serious, considering that there's now (unlike when the pandemic started last year) no shortage of masks of any given standard or quality.

If I feel like a setting warrants wearing a PPE2 mask, that's what I will wear. For my day to day shopping errands, on the other hand, just a regular mask.

Say it ain't so!

Quite a remarkable success so far, I hope they can keep it up!

Interesting that they don't seem to prioritize by age and underlying conditions, if what the employee said turns out to be true.

Sarcasm may follow. Not a bad approach, take a few thousand registrations from expats in Bangkok, then close the first round. This way they will be able to claim that, indeed, the process to vaccinate expats starts smoothly on June 7th. Even if there won't be a second round before July or so.

You don't really think that the Thais are wanting to attract these types on the old aged pension.

 

They don't hide the fact they are after quality tourists.

True, but that doesn't change what I wrote. Why would a "quality tourist" come to Thailand while these laws are in place? They wouldn't want to hide their champagne in a coffee mug, would they?

Who cares if it was a lab leak (accident) or if it just happened naturally. It's not like I can sue them if I get sick anyway.

What matters now is that it's out there and needs to be dealt with. All these conspiracy theories are a complete waste of time. 

What they now need isn't even more registration channels that just add to the confusion, but more vaccines.

I've walked past a very neat, perfectly fine vaccination center last weekend. Too bad it wasn't operating yet, let's see how long it will sit idle before they get their act together procuring vaccines. 

Clearly delusional, considering news reports about production delays. When any of the alternatives will become available is also anyone's guess.

This was already a story when I visited Bangkok for the first time. Usually it's also pointed out that Bangkok is sinking, which aggravates the effect. It's safe to assume that nothing has been done, nothing is being done and nothing will be done - until it's too late, whenever that will be the case. A bit like reinforcing border patrols after a new Covid variant has entered the country.

Would I buy property here? Probably not, but I'd guess that the worsening pollution will keep me away from Bangkok before the rising sea levels will.

In the meantime, I'll enjoy Bangkok while it's still enjoyable...

Certify for what exactly? It's already been used for months.
