Production cost. What about transport cost? The Nurse who gives you the jab, hospital facilities to make this happen, etc, etc, etc.
I merely quoted the production cost per dose. Thais will more than likely get it for free but the farangs will be charged, that was the point of my post. If you want to work out the overheads then be my guest, let us know when you arrive at a figure.

A friend in the UK has just told me that it has been reported in the UK thatThailand has signed a deal to receive the Oxford vaccine. The production cost is £2.98 (120 baht) per dose. It remains to be seen how much the hospitals will rip us farangs off for it

So Corbyn has been suspended for being anti Jewish. But for years he and Abbott have been anti white/British and nothing happens. What a mess British politics has become, glad i'm in Thailand

In my previous post i used the term <deleted> but it has been deleted, why?
It merely refers to someone who voted remain and continues to moan about it.
Political censorship?

Thai is actually not a single language but a merger of Thai, Sanskrit, Khmer and even Chinese. That's why the vocabulary is huge.
Most of the words come from two languages ie. Thai and Sanskrit with a sprinkle from Khmer and Chinese.
Thai teachers usually teach ONLY the formal words which nobody use except for news reporters and government officials. That's why I don't go to Thai language school anymore.

I find your comment that the Thai vocabulary is huge very strange. Depending on what website you look at there are approximately 22,000 words in the Thai language. Compare that to English where there are an estimated 1,022,000 words (including medical, technical etc) and according to the Oxford concise dictionary there are 171,476 words in everyday use.

Mayweather would normally have knocked that clown out in 2 rounds, but because of the ppv audience he was told not to. Manny could do the same, we'll see what he's told to do

I did this 2 years ago. Go to the gov.uk website and get their contact phone number. Their office is at Longbenton, just outside Newcastle. You can do this up to 3 months before your retirement date. I did everything in a 20 minute phone call. No paperwork. Just give your N.I. number and answer a few security questions and give the bank account details where you want your pension paid, couldn't be easier. I live in Thailand and could have had it paid into Kasikorn bank but i chose Barclays in the UK (spending money for when i go back on holiday). I have been receiving UK state pension since Oct 2018, never a problem. A little tip about the phone call, when calling the UK from a Thai mobile, instead of dialling 0044, dial 00444, it goes to a lower rate, that applies to all UK numbers. Good luck

The subsidised rooms scheme didn't work simply because hotels raised their prices so much that the rooms ended up more expensive than they were before the subsidy, mental

It's got nothing to do with tracing foreign visitors in Thailand.
I live in Thailand and was advised to check my phone today by a friend in the U.K. and it's there, added without my knowledge or permission.
To check go to settings - google settings.
Although it is currently turned off and the app hasn't installed yet it's the 1st step in being able to track your every move

We stayed at Koh Samed last weekend, the prices were up 30% on the same time last year. We enquired about booking for my birthday in October, the prices are up 80%. I'll give it a miss and have a big <deleted> up at home

People have been cooking for as long as people have been on the planet. Now all of a sudden it's a science and they try to convince you that there's only a handful of people who can do it properly, total BS.
People like these need to be reminded that they're only cooks.

We got our 4 AC units serviced last Sunday, pattaya area. Used this company for 5 years, very good and professional, 450 baht each

My wife and i like Koh Samed, so yesterday she looked online at the resort we normally go to in order to make a booking for the end of this month, taking advantage of the 40% government sponsored discount.
Guess what, the resort has increased their prices by 66% ( 3,000 to 5,000 per night ) so the tourist gets nothing and the resort gets all the benefit and more. We'll wait till this "sponsorship" is over and prices return back to normal before we go back there.

Sorry but this is misleading nonsense!
I am from UK but retired in Thailand. As i said, i am still working in SE Asia and am NOT required to pay income tax on salary remitted monthly from abroad to Kasikorn bank. You are the one misleading people, post a link to back up your (false) information

You're missing the point again, i'm the foreigner here and so wouldn't expect anything for free. I'll pay whatever they ask, i simply posed the question "i wonder how much they'll rip us off for"?
And yes, it's not a big deal
