The authorities have cited studies into the cocktail being made by respected institutes like Chulalongkorn University, Ramathibodi Hospital and Sirirat Hospital.

This country has NEVER contributed ANYTHING for the betterment of mankind and they expect us to believe their utter nonsense... What a crock!!! The only leading edge or forefront they have been on is failure. Believe me, if this was in fact true, the rest of the world would have figured this out a long time ago!!!

In other words, the truth. (or the closest they get to the truth) 

It's the façade of the alternate truth that matters.

That would no doubt be the lack of knowledge and complete ignorance that enabled me to successfully register then.  Good to know.  Surprising that I can manage to use a keyboard at all, really.

In your case I would attribute your being able to "successfully register" to pure luck. To quote a famous saying "Every dog has it's day".

We're talking about a dirt simple registration system here that any decent programmer should have been able to create, even a single person could do it, you can't compare that to fiascos with large systems in the west.

I agree with you 100%!!! There is a member on here (pictured) that is completely clueless about IT that insists on following me around and criticizing me for pointing out the obvious.

Which development team?  The one in Thailand who appear to be making inroads into correcting their system, or the UK NHS debacle?

 

Perhaps launching quickly to enable as early a start the vaccination programme as possible was deemed to be a better approach than delaying for several weeks to iron out any minor bugs.  As has been demonstrated, many of us have used this poorly designed and not properly tested site with success.

 

And you can take as many "wild guesses" as you like if it makes you feel better.

This post is about a current event in Thailand, not the UK or any other country for that matter. So it should be obvious that I'm speaking about Thailand.

And as far as my "wild guess", your reply affirms your lack of knowledge and complete ignorance to pretty much anything IT related.

There you go (again) with the Thai stupid, farang all brainiacs vibe.  If there were never any IT cockups in the West, then you might have a point, but an example (and quite conveniently about another countries health system's IT):

 

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/sep/18/nhs-records-system-10bn

 

£10bn and binned.  Maybe they got in outside contractors from Thailand to design the system?

 

But it would appear that a growing number of expats - even the technically challenged like me - have managed to successfully register.  And we have received notification of appointments.  And, in some cases, already been vaccinated.

Perhaps the development team has resolved the issue or not. Like I said before the system was poorly designed and not properly tested. I'm going to take a wild guess that you don't know what "negative testing is"?

Unlike those foreigners who are unable to properly  attach two photos as requested you mean?  Yes, let's assume whre the fault lies.

 

Thais dumb, farang rocket scientists to a man, and always blameless.

My assumptions (based on my professional experience) along with the opinions of many other people on here were correct if you care to follow up at the link below. For you to challenge me analytically when it comes to anything IT related (human or machine) is a battle you will NOT win.

Why should a visa even be necessary? They have your passport number and that has your visa status recorded at immigration. Why can't the Ministry of Foreign Affairs liaise with the other part of government that deals with foreigners, Immigration? Or is that too logical. But again, why should a visa even be necessary. What they are doing is prioritising bureaucracy over safeguarding the vulnerable.

Simply said, these people don't follow the same logic as we do. As it is true these are different system, but they can share (as read only) the same DB via a link and new schema. I'm not going to go into details on how to do it, but it's not a difficult task for an experienced DBA and doesn't require a lot of man hours to accomplish.

I was just talking about this with my wife today. In a situation like this where lives are literally at stake they should have called in outside help to get things done correctly.

Except for the fact that their arrogance dictates that they know better than the outside world. Keep in mind that same arrogance comes from people that have never made any contribution what-so-ever to the betterment of mankind.

No way, being 'the grey man' here is a solid cast iron rule for me in Thailand. I have as little to do with the authorities here as its possible to have. 

I completely understand!!!

I can't wait for them to try to roll out the Thai Covid Pass. That's going to be hilarious. 

Agreed!!!

A farang acquaintance of mine has a doctor as a wife and both of them obtained, by whatever means, the AZ vaccine many months ago. He was quite proud of having been able to jump all the queues.  I though that the guy was a dick.  

If you can prove this, you can take it to the authorities perhaps?

I honestly don't know what any of you people expect that want to trash America. American citizens didn't want our troops there, period. I don't want our service members dying protecting them or anyone else and I don't want my tax dollars spent protecting those people or anyone else. Many American lives were lost and a great deal of money was spent training their army who turned out to be cowards and deserted in the face of their enemy.

We only had a few thousand troops left there and that kept roughly 80,000 Taliban fighters at bay. You tell me where did the roughly 200,000 member better equipped Afghan army go?

Don't blame the American citizens, blame the American government all you want because we hate the American government too. Personally I hate the American government and that's why I left, I refuse to pay taxes for their BS policies!!!

I used to live there and know what you mean. Apparently now though there is a scheme where if you provide evidence (photo) of someone doing that there's a reward. I've read that a considerable amount has been paid out, Someone on this site might provide more info/detail than I have.

Yes that's true and I have the info. I have taken several videos and a few people want to fight me but it never works out for them and they drive off.

And it's why you see so many, cars as well as motorbikes, going the wrong way. Can't be bothered to drive a km or two to do a turn. Jeez, it's not like they have to walk it!

I don't know about where you live, but in my area of Bangkok motorbikes on the footpath is a regular danger when walking. I have been hit from behind twice. Head on at me I have shoved them as they nearly hit me and I have broken several of their mirrors too. They regularly ride on the footpath right in front of the police station and nothing is done about it.

I guess i don't because I also have never driven with a Thai that was playing with his phone while he or she was behind the wheel. Maybe you hang out with a different crowd.

We all have different friends, experiences and opinions.

No, but you should take a look at that before putting a stamp on other people in other countries. Just a tip, it looks much better on you.

Oh is that what I should do? And looks much better on me to who, you? Since when do I need your approval for my personal thoughts and opinions?

Who keeps asking the TAT what the stupid people think?
