Yes all well and good. BUT.  I've been trying to get any research in the sinovac and sinaphorm against Delta , and nothing reliable coming out of china. If there's not enough good information , why the hell is the government pushing it so much

I live in Issan, so far the only vaccines offered out here is from China, while I read about western shots being offered in the big city. Registered on the expat site and haven't received any kind of response. Am I missing something?

Nothing in Sisaket either--------  At least for me-

Ok thanks good luck 

well not so much good luck.  went to get shot and was informed that I would receive sinovac.  Decided to wait and keep trying to be safe.  Data not forthcoming from China about how their jabs do against Delta.

what vaccine did they give you

Agree, I can't see them making me a special case when no elderly or vulnerable Thai have had a jab here yet either. Be interesting to see how the more remote locations are dealt with.

 

I live in Sisaket, just got back from a appointment to have 1st jab of AZ, got there and found out ole bait and switch was alive and well. Dr said 1st jab would be sinovac-  decided to hunker down and wait for better offer-

Im going to see if its  Pfizer   or not, not Pfizer then I will avoid it and pay privately later when its  available. Registration is easy enough apart from the non alphabetical  list of countries when it comes to UK and Merica etc and inability to load files separately...........guess they got their  best web designer  onto building the site.

Yes, didn't say what vaccine would be given as " first shot".  Hope government isn't trying use up China vaccines on us.

Yes, I did finally did get up the energy to register, which was acknowledged by e mail.  This is in just the same way as I did with a hospital registration 3 months ago and the previous government website, also  some months ago. My Province, Chon Buri, has had its allocation of vaccines diverted to Bangkok and only has very limited supplies of the Chinese stuff. I expect nothing from this new website and I'm sure that I will not be surprised when nothing happens. 

Yup- so true

Then it does not apply to you.  Any other questions?

Haha,  guess you're right- was thinking the same-

I live in Sisaket- registered, and got email confirming registration. Just wondering if they will send vaccine out to other provinces, and not make us go to Bangkok for shot-

Ahh,  check.  Just wondering-

Does this mean that if you have to renew your non O based in retirement extension of stay  in august, you can automatically stay till September and renew it then?

Similar circumstances. Mum and Dad wanted to rebuild their Isaan house and return to live their and farm again. We gave them money and they signed over couple of pieces of land. They still owned several more for farming. Older sister was furious and claimed we should pay more now because the land is more valuable now than when we bought it 16 years ago! She waited until her Dad was dead and then pushed her Mum on. Anything we ever game the parents she tried and grabbed - lazy and has so far had 2 alcoholics and 1 druggie as husbands.

 

My wife puts them firmly in their place whether they like it or not. Otherwise I'm afraid the demands will get more and more. The mentality is "loans" they ask for are really gifts and don't ever have to be paid back; they are entitled to anything and everything they want; you rich farang so should support all the family and cannot loose face in their eyes by saying no. 

 

Don't play them at their games. Treat them as spoiled selfish children.

Baerboxer- You're so right- that's exactly what my partner and I think- She worked too hard to get what she has, just to let her lazy sister and family take it. She's not giving a inch and I support her-

Just remind them your partner called them all 30 yrears ago,and asked them to help pay off the loan to help mom and dad. But also mention that they all refused to help. Because it’s family and things might get ugly,offer them their share of the value of the property at what it was worth 30 years ago. Let’s say the valuation on the property was 1,000,000 baht,the parents owed 600,000 baht. Give them a share of the 400,000 baht the mom and dad owned. Better off trying to keep some sort of peace,as we all know how crazy Thais get when money is involved.

 

yeah, I think cooler heads will prevail- think they rethought the idea. Maybe they realize they haven't a leg to stand on-

If they are farming the land without a 'contract' and your son has nothing to do with it, there is a way for them to 'claim' the land. I know nothing about this process, but read a thread on TV in the past year about a family that was able to claim the land after farming it for 10 years.

not farm land. city plot she had home built  - put in her name 30 yrs ago all legal- don't think she has anything to worry about-

All the above seems like good advice with three clear options. But, first, make sure your partner has 100% sole and legal title to the property (don't just take her word for it).

 

If your partner doesn't want the land then name a fair price for mother/sister to buy.

 

If your partner wants the land then don't sell or give away.

 

If your partner wants to keep the land, but wants to keep the peace with her Mum and sister, say she will look at transferring the land. But stall and do nothing final. If she wants to be seen as doing something then take a few steps like getting the Land Office to do a proper survey (3 month delay), do some minor works/improvements to fix up the land (another 3 months), plant some minor crops that need to be harvested first (4 months), put up a shack 'selling' product that 'adds value' to the land. Maybe dig a pond and do a little filling on a corner of the property etc.

 

All these above can be done with minimal costs and look like the land is needed, is being actively used, and is worth more than the mother/sister may be prepared to pay. 

yeah, she dosen't want to get rid of the land- so older sister and mother can kiss off-

Excellent strategy.

They the hidden agenda behind the transfer can be revealed while there is still time to thwart it.

there was nothing hidden about it. All done legal in the land office. She's had some loans on the land that has been paid off and shows on back of title
