5 hours ago, Will B Good said:Yes, but you could mock up anything to look like you are vaccinated when presented to a waitress.
It would be a stupid thing to attempt in any case. First of all the check would be at the door by someone who's probably had a bit of training. And if that person smells a fish and a crosscheck reveals fraud the penalty will be unpleasant.
Play it safe. Get jabbed and go legit. Even a waitress could explain that to you.

Our Mor Prom app here for example though mostly in Thai has the vax page in English. Likely most countries will use an international language too.

I like this virus. It's got spunk. It's not going down without a fight. But going down it is.

Died of Covid but you have to look at the victim's age/comorbidities to see how much damage the virus did. To put it crudely, 7 70 year-olds dying is a lot less worrisome than 7 17 year-olds.

Do you know anyone in Korat at all? A trip to this address would be an errand a local motosai driver might be happy to undertake for say 1k b. If you don't try posting on one of the TV local forums asking help. There are plenty farangs in the Korat area so I am sure a TV member will pop up to help out. Just send them the money/info and I am sure they'll be able to organize a rider out. Good luck. I know how stressful a situation with a loved one going missing can be.
Edit: There's an Isaan local forum.

Depends on the daily case numbers. If they drop to the hundreds - no I am not smoking anything, could happen, it's the Delta characteristic to shoot up shoot down - no reason not to open.
Plus vaccines. At nearly million a day should be able to get 60-70% in the main pop centers jabbed by the end of the month. Which are herd numbers.
Have faith in Prayut. Man's dumb as a ham sandwich. But he likes his job.

I don't understand these snide remark about not enough testing. No country tests 100%. Sure the actual number is 17165 x X where X is bigger than 1. Which means yesterday it was 17,491 x X and the day before 19014 x X. Since the testing rate is the same we can assume the error factor X is about the same each day.
Which means the point remains we seem to have peaked. So leave be with the snark and break out the party clothes.

Nice! Thailand is following India's delta curve. Crazy high followed by steep drop. India had 25k cases yesterday with more than 15 times the population. If the pattern holds we should be heading into the low 1000s in a month.
Can't be to do with the vax/lockdown patterns then which are totally different in the two countries. Looks like delta tends to weaken (by mutation?) as it spreads.

Awesome, looks like we have peaked and now it's a question of how fast we slide down the other side. Hope we drop to 15k by next Mon so they relax the lockdown.

The virus seems to be banging its head against a daily new case max of about 20k. This can't be due to the vaccination numbers which are still minuscule. Hate to say it but must be the lockdown. Which means the govts. going to be encouraged to prolong the misery.

Just got in another shipment via DHL delivered today. Really quick: Kol-Bkk 3 days, customs clearance 6 days. Expensive but 100% reliable if you have the med cert.

How can they? Vaccination is voluntary, for both nationals and foreigners.
True vaccination is voluntary. At the same time there is no right to fly. It's up to the airlines who they let on their flights. Security risk, disruptive behavior, inappropriate clothing, etc, etc., all as "perceived" by the agent at the gate can get one barred from boarding.
And I disagree with the notion that airlines will not impose vaccine mandates on their own in order to fill the flight. I think they are far more likely to attract passengers with the assurance that everyone on board is vaccinated for the simple reason that pro-vaxxers far outnumber anti-vaxxers.

Have you considered Transferwise (now Wise)? Quick and easy, money from the US (in my case) to Thailand in hours. Rates are good and the whole process is transparent in that they tell you upfront how much you are going to get so you can check around. I find their rates competitive as many others too.

I haven't had any of those issues. But since you haven't had a reply yet I would suggest look at the Bumrungrud list of derms. There are many on the list there and pretty good cosmetic experts surely.

I have all the lovely symptoms of dyspepsia: belching, bloating, burning sensation in my stomach, lousy appetite, etc. Any reco for an internal medicine doctor at Bumrungrad? It's the hospital I go to and convenient so prefer to see a doc there. Thanks.

claims made online that Bangkok would get its heaviest rain in 1,000 years come the end of the year due to a La Nina
Ah, those good old days. I remember paying a gal with a chicken and taking her back to my cave and then we take both take off our goat skins and clean ourselves by scraping our bodies against a rock and then it's on to the good stuff on the dirt floor.

A Thai boy told me why should I inject a vaccine that could kill me when I have no risk to be sick with covid ?
Can I ask you what I can reply him to push for vaccination please ?
Is he yours? Box him in the ear. He isn't? Box him anyway.

vaccines do work, but not in reducing infections. vaccines are good for preventing hard symptoms.
Wrong. It does both. But it's a numbers game. No vaccine is 100% in preventing infection. Which no one claims either. Even if it's 90%, 100 out of 1000 vaccinated will get infected.
And the reason that vaccines reduce infections and prevent severe symptoms in case of infection is the same: the body's resistance to the virus is enhanced.

All over the world, scientism, political and media communication is spreading the hate message that anyone who is not vaccinated is a public danger, a terrorist, a person to be hated, imprisoned, isolated and maybe killed.
...
The unvaccinated ones probably not only risk not having their visas renewed, but even being considered as pariahs, a sort of European Jews of the new millennium.
Excellent! If science can't convince the birdbrains peer pressure just might.
"Not vaccinated? To the back of the bus please. And zip the curtain shut after you."
"Sir, the unvaccinated toilets are in the outhouse. Across the field."
"Not vaccinated and want to fly? We don't sell wingsuits at an airport. Look for a store at the top of a cliff."

Have this problem too. Psyllium husk, isabgol, has eased it lot. I take it in capsule form. Seems to help clear the whole gastric pipeline from mouth to the other end. My belching is less frequent and bowel movements improved. Give PH a shot.
