Is it 0.2% of all covid deaths? In the USA, some states like Maine have as high as 5% of all covid deaths are attributed to breakthrough cases. A state by state breakdown of hospitalizations and death among of breakthrough cases. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/08/10/us/covid-breakthrough-infections-vaccines.html

If it's only tax money, they can tax the e-cigarettes and It will increase revenues. I think there is an oppositions from the cigarettes manufacturers and they have not yet figured out how to make money from e-cigarettes. Just like in Las Vegas there is a opposition from casino industry to open sit-in marijuana smoking places because they have not figured out how to make money from those places yet.

But nobody is forcing dirty farangs to come to Thailand unless the said dirty farangs is forced by their strong desire to find a bride or orgies in Thailand. They can stay at home or go somewhere else.

So, she will be coming to Thailand unvaccinated and needs to qurantione. Which country she is from? Why she wants to get vaccinated in Thailand? Why she can't get vaccinated in her home country? I have not heard of anybody coming to Thailand for getting vaccinated. It is possible in private hospitals but I would recommend coming next year.

Tourists don't come to Thailand (except backpackers). Only bride seekers and orgy seekers come to Thailand. Unless all the places where brides and orgies available are open, not one "tourist" will visit Thailand.

Herd immunity is impossible as evidenced with high vaccinated countries like UK, and Israel where 7-day average infection rate per million population is running at more 3,000 and death at more than 10. The only solution is to live with covid and set a baseline that the nation's health care infrastructure can handle. If anybody thinks a nation can achieve herd immunity, they are either living in a delusional reality or falling for Western media's propaganda. Western media after months of touting the achievement of their vaccine for herd immunity has started to realize the impossibility. UK is doing even worse than US where vaccination rate in the population is very low compared to wealthy nations and there is a strong anti-vax groups who are ready to lose their jobs rather than get jabbed. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/03/health/covid-herd-immunity-vaccine.html

100 new cases per day is not terrible. People must realize that we have to live with Covid-19. No amount of vaccination, boosters, etc. can eliminate covid-19 completely. Just checked the the UK average cases for the last 7-days, they are registering 3,500 cases per million population per day with 100+ death a day (10+ death/million population). No respite from Covid-19. Anybody expecting covid-19 to disappear in the near future is living in a delusional reality or have drank too much western media propaganda coolaid. Here is the latest news. Pfizer is getting the population ready for booster shot every 6-months. What a scam!!! https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/04/science/pfizer-vaccine-hospitalization-study.html

As I have wifi at condo (3BB fiber), I don't need unlimited data cell data. 10GB is enough for me. I hardly use 2GB. The same is my Google Fi. Never exceeded 2 GB. It all depends on what on your usage. I need solid wifi but not cell data. The option works for me the best.

Nobody will come unless bars and entertainment centers are open. The majority of the tourists are in two market segments. - searching for brides and looking for orogies. And neither can be accomplished when bars and entertainment venues are closed.

Covid-19 is not going to go away as proved in soaring infections in UK and Israel and countries where vaccination is rate is very high. Vaccinated people can still get infected and spread to other vaccinated/unvaccinated people. The goal of each country is to to establish the infection rate and hospitalization that the country's health care infrastructure is capable of handling and work to achieve that goal. I'm convinced that Covid-19 will be there in near future in one variant or another. Hopefully scientists will come up with drugs very soon to reduce severity of infection and eliminate deaths caused by Covid-19. Most countries have started to realize that as we hear less from lock down nazis. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/12/herd-immunity-is-mythical-with-the-covid-delta-variant-experts-say.html

I have 3BB fiber and with an additional 100 baht, I get 10GB of Dtac data. Voice and SMS are extras.

They will come if entry into Thailand is simplified and entertainment venues are open. There are many segments of travellers but unless it is made easier for the two main segments of travellers - people seeking brides and people seeking orgies, they will not come.

True. I use two fingers and don't look at the screen when typing. I look at the keyboard. The point being, if you are typing looking at the screen, it should not be problem what is on the keyboard (Thai and English characters). I am looking at the keyboard and I still don't have problem when there are two characters per key on the keyboard.

What is quality vaccines? USA, UK, and Israel are registering record numbers of average 7-day infection and death in contrast to Chile and Cambodia. Western media propaganda just amazes me.

I never had problems also. I never learned to type but I have been using personal computers since radio shack's TRS80 and before that DEC's mini computer.

That will be meaningless. What is to do with the issuance of test result? Moreover, I think the test time is recorded on the letter. Not sure if the issue time is recorded or not.

For O-A, there is an age restrictions. Everyday cannot get O-A unless more than 50 years old. But everybody can get STV.

COE will be required as long as Emergency decree is in effects. I see a future with insurance or some form of insurance baked into your air travel price.

I'm not sure what exactly what thrill the OP is talking about? He claims money is not the issue still he gives example of some fish and cheap for 60 baht. Why can't he get the same thrill in his home country, presumably in England. What is preventing him from getting the same thrill in his home country. I have travelled to many places and got the thrill I wanted including staff that are banned in most places. However, I found one difference is that prostitutes in most countries don't marry foreigners, let alone have babies with foreigners 30 years older than themselves. I'm 59 when I came to Thailand and immediately found a 19-year old sex worker from Poseidon to have my baby when I offered her a million baht. This attitude I have not found in any other places in the World

You can order most of your groceries online also.

And the foundation of Western money is colonialism and chattel slavery. The revenge of hundred years of humiliation.

I don't think there is any new or old folks. Any body who qualifies can get the visa and all the privileges, even if the person lived in Thailand for life using any type of visas.

Free movements like before (pre covid days) are doomed for foreseeable future. I am fully vaccinated in September in the USA. I enter in march next year and leave in November next year. I am stuck again unless I get boosters. A nightmare scenario, in deed.

A study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study published Tuesday found a hefty drop in effectiveness against infection from the delta variant from Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. Among a group of thousands of healthcare workers, the vaccines fell from being 91% effective at preventing infection to 66% after delta became the dominant variant. https://www.forbes.com/sites/roberthart/2021/08/25/vaccine-protection-wanes-within-six-months-of-second-covid-shot-study-warns-but-theyre-still-effective-against-delta/?sh=30284e645a80
