They did a step by step evaluation for Phuket Sandbox. Over 100 new positive Covid cases in 1 week then turn off the spigot of tourists coming in Over xx new positive Covid cases in a Moo then lock the Moo down . . . Then they just threw those steps out the window and didn't care much. As far as Phuket Hospitals up to 80% capacity, a large part of this is that 80% of new Covid cases in Phuket are asymptomatic yet put in hospitals. Let them register, then home quarantine and you free up more beds in hospitals.

I thought the GPO office was going to do some extensive testing on these test kits first. Now they are setting up distribution with no quality control at all?????

Look at the Phuket Sandbox for Sinovac efficacy. The island of Thai people were vaccinated with 2 doses of Sinovac. Look at the growing outbreak there now. Most farangs on Phuket got AZ or Pfizer ... This is not Seychelles or UAE, but here in Thailand.

It really wasn't up to the PPRP party, but the BhumjaiThai party that got him into power and who are keeping him there. That's Anutin and Saksiam Childchob in the BhumjaiThai party with the main "king maker" being Saksiam's brother Newin Chidchob from Buriram. Newin was previously part of the Thai Rak Thai party that supported Thaksin before the 2006 coup. Then he switched sides opposing Thaksin. If the BumjaiThai party ever switches sides then Prayuth is gone ...

tarnished the image of the House of Representatives and ordered the House secretary-general to investigate, after he had personally inspected the room in which the offence is alleged to have taken place yesterday What does he expect to find after the fact? Empty brown envelopes? Why aren't they investigating the alleged 2 billion THB discrepancy in the Sinovac vaccine purchase?

since we fought on a battlefield together What, pray tell, battlefield did they ever fight on? They wear their clown suits with all the spaghetti ribbons to show off and they mean nothing at all! Prayut, the bumbling George W Bush, clown with Prawit, the Dick Chenney, clown as the man behind the curtain (most likely sleeping away).

In some western countries - US, Canada, EU, UK - there are motorcycle clubs the police call gangs. The same motorcycle clubs are here in Thailand, but things are different here. The police are the top dog / mafia here.

In lieu of the "deal" the political parties were trying to put together to oust the current clown, a royalist hiso Thai threw out another option. This guy is a royalist, but is fed up with this junta gov. He said an off the wall idea / thought going around is if it gets close to Prayuth being ousted he will do a 'coup' on his own gov to take back total control. This would require he has enough RTA support. I'm not sure where Prawit would fit in here or ApiRat for that matter too. He said there are factions within the RTA that are not loyal to Prayuth. Interesting angle moving forward ...

Yes, I've been wondering why ApiRat is so quiet these days ...

Prayuth did not "win" the so called election. They bent the rules so he did win. The smaller parties were not to have any say if they did not garner 70,000 votes or more, yet they did. Then his party got rid of the Move Forward party with Thanathorn because he was too much of a threat. The sitting gov sure pushed through charges on Thanathorn, but can do nothing with the Red Bull heir, the Red Bull case charges and now the 'killer cop' case.

I would like to know what Thai's are saying about Prayuth's and Anutin's political speeches ....

provincial police commander Pol Maj-Gen Rapeepong Sukphaibun Is this his father-in-law? Is he the one worth over $100 million USD ?

Today we received a hint as foreign aid was offer by both China and South Korea who announced donations of vaccines and medical supplies to help Thailand fight its pressing Covid-19 pandemic. https://thethaiger.com/coronavirus/thailand-to-get-covid-19-foreign-aid-from-china-and-korea Why do you continue to give this gov any kind of support when they have made such a shambles of this vaccination process here? The gov brought this on themselves and likely have made a LOT of money from the procurement of Sinovac for Thailand. Compassion for the Thai people is different.

Nothing being said about the torture being common practice? But, of course torture and cohersion are denied in public. I have heard his father-in-law is a higher up police too.

Interesting info-graphic from BP

No, let him stay out of prison ... just strip him of his medical certificate.

Are these counterfeit banknotes why the Thai Baht is getting stronger all of a sudden?

I hear the vaccination rate is at 90% in Bangkok now ... but what is the double vaccination rate? They don't state that much. Will the French be allowed to go into restaurants? Didn't they get the Johnson&Johnson vaccine (only 1 jab)? The rules will get sticky going forward ...

Yes, more testing. And, think of the profits made by the company that got the winning bid to import these ATK testing kits ...

If over 60 yrs, then go to McCormick Hospital and ask for an appt. I did and they had me come back the next morning at 8:30 am ...

In Chiang Mai one should register with the "Wall of Chiang Mai" after registering on ExpatVac site ... https://wallofcm.chiangmaihealth.go.th/ Why? I have no idea, but most people with appt's here registered on both sites. Makes getting vaccinated confusing as h*ll.

The Customs Dept Director-General came out to protect Pol-Colonel Thitisan by saying he "helped seize" illegal cars. The sale of these cars earned him 400 million THB. All but 5 of the cars were sold thus why did he have them on his property still? The coverup is starting ...

I just got Pfizer 1st jab this morning with 2nd scheduled for 16 Sept. I went to McCormick Hospital Chiang Mai yesterday since I saw it mentioned here. I waited in line and got up to "check-in" and told them I'm over 60 yrs old with Hypertension and no appt. They manually wrote my name, passport, phone #, email down and told me to come back 8:30 am today. A lot of people there yesterday had registered at https://wallofcm.chiangmaihealth.go.th/ Not sure if this helped or not ... I only registered with ExpatVac site.

Why don't the young Thai netizens start posting other Police officers, Military officers, Gov MPs that seem to live outside their means. Put them all under scrutiny and lets see if any good moral Thai's can do something about this.

No mention of % of half / fully vaccinated people in Thailand though. This is what most western countries based "opening" on ... 50%-70% of adult population.
