  1. From what I read on some of these forums. The cost of and getting a beer is more important than getting a covid vaccine. So unfortunate .
  2. I’m sure any private hospital that has the vaccine would give it for payment. The private hospitals deal with many international patients
  3. . After he hit the pedestrian he didn’t run away . He actually drove away. Maybe the driver wants to be specific. I’m sure the driver will come up with a bogus explanation of what happened
  4. If some people dont think the vaccines work. And are against them. To each their own. Maybe you can walk around with a string of garlic around your neck. That might help to protect you.
  5. Just another typical day in the LOS. If you watch Thai news at night . These types of things are a common occurrence. Maybe not exact but similar. At least here though they give Wai when they take someone’s life
  6. They are not putting the blame on anyone. It is common knowledge with Covid that different strains can transfer from one country to another. And since Thailand has many visitors in and out from other countries. That makes the situation greater.
  7. It’s good they are giving vaccines. Anything can help. But the Moderna so far is the only vaccine that is the most updated. Unfortunately that version is not available here as of yet.
  8. The staff should have handled the situation by calling for medical aid if necessary. Especially if he lost consciousness at some point. I commend the OP for stepping in. And if a person is in serious medical distress. You call for help. Not think if you have to pay for an ambulance or if the person has medical insurance or not. The priority is getting help for the person.
  9. Maybe better enforcement would have curtailed the problem in the first place
  10. A person has to be a dirt bag to steal anything from someone to begin with
  11. There are still many people getting Covid in different parts of the world. Unfortunately the Thai woman I’m dating got symptoms and tested positive for Covid early in the week She has mild symptoms and is recovering. Cough, fever, sore throat. Luckily she has two Moderna boosters one fairly recently. We went to Bumrungard to be checked. Im experiencing some very minimal symptoms with no fever so far. The symptom effects seem to come and go. Doctor said for me to isolate also . And if these very minor symptoms don’t go away in seven days get a test. I could not get one initially. Because doctor thought I was actually asymptomatic. I have three boosters one recent. Covid had not gone away. And according to statistics many people are still testing positive and have symptoms in the world. Just with the vaccines the seriousness illness has diminished . But people still need to take precautions and keep up with vaccinations. When you test positive for Covid you go to a special area at the hospital to get checked in and wait to be seen. All the Thai people waiting in that area were wearing masks. Most foreigners that entered the area either had no mask or were wearing one under their chin. And had no problem getting close to other people. The staff had to keep telling these people to mask up. And some of these people look at the staff dumbfounded. It’s amazing how ignorant and uncaring people can be. That you test positive. Have symptoms. And you go in public not wearing a mask. Or have one under your chin.
  12. A person should have planned for their future way before they reached 80. Preparing for the future should be done before a person reaches retirement age. This way everything is in place. But some people won’t. They won’t do much of anything. But blame their poor financial status and other things on outside factors.
  13. And I wonder how many drivers in Thailand actually have no drivers license at all.
  14. That's going to put a damper on tourism and a lot of the expat community.
  15. He possibly had underlying medical conditions he was unaware of. Or developed serious symptoms and ignored them.
  16. So the driver gives the typical excuses . Wet road , dark road. Typical mentality. No accountability. Put the blame on other people and other things.
  17. Even though it’s being made in Thailand. I would be curious of the testing results. And how and where it was tested. Yes it’s a little late. But it could be a good vaccine. There are so many variants to Covid. It’s difficult for any pharmaceutical company to keep up with it.
  18. From the way some of these foreign men talk and behave. Just what I observe living in Bangkok. They come to Thailand looking because women in their home countries want nothing to do with them. Because these men can’t even take care of themselves or their behavior. And they say for example all women in the West are no good. Just because the women are not interested in them So they come to Thailand. Thinking the women are desperate, shy, tolerate anything. And unfortunately. There are women in poorer countries who will start relationships with these types of men. Just to try to get a better life.
  19. This can be the start of something big. If Trump gets his chance to run for President. Maybe Musk could be his running mate for Vice-President. Then all the Trump supporters could say America Will Really Be Great Again
  20. I wouldn’t depend on those websites. There are many properties listed but much of the information is outdated. I have lived for a year in Onut and for the past two years in Asoke. Both times I have used property agents. Not all are good, not all are bad. I suggest you use one . Instead of going from place to place asking if anything is available. Which can be very time consuming. As for pricing. It depends on what amenities you want. What type of building it’s in, older or newer. Condo or apartment building. Close to BTS station or not. Prices in Central Bangkok are for the most part more expensive. Asoke and Nana are prime areas.
  21. This is great news. Hopefully this will be a breakthrough. Unfortunately most people here wouldn’t get it if it wasn’t free. The others would just use the new vaccine as an excuse to criticize and complain.
  22. I just received the second notice today. Dated October 27. Saying form was never received. I sent the form in months ago. Registered Mail. The tracking showed it was received at SSA, months ago. I cant find the tracking number. I guess I have to send it in again. Hoping they dont lose it.
