It just proves a point/opinion that many of us foreigners have about the "local population" and their level of (or lack of) intelligence. If you are a foreigner and you disagree with this opinion, you most likely fall into the afore mentioned category...

Same here. Used to work great before I did my extension of stay. After that I have gotten the 'overstay' notice for the past two times trying to do the 90 day report, whether it's on my computer, iPhone, or iPad.

Their utter stupidity does nothing but cause problems for everyone...

Yet another monumental achievement by those in charge... You should be proud!!!

Don't worry, Anutin says that viewers might be deceived by “camera angles or whatever” that give the viewer the false impression that there are large crowds at the station.

It thinks I'm on overstay so I can't use it...

I received my first does of AZ on July 28th, and currently scheduled to receive my second dose (at 12 weeks) on October 20th.

The 3 around me have no problems at all, the ones around you too. Sounds to me that your statement is a bit misleading about 7 elevens in Bangkok.

There are 10+ locations near my condo all in easy walking distance suffering the same lack of stock. I wouldn't know about where you live, so excuse me if you feel "mislead"... It's why I asked!!!

Interesting topic indeed... For the past several months my Thai GF (she's from Buri Ram Province) has been reading and learning about how foreigners are treated here during this pandemic. She looked at me one day and out of the clear blue she said "now I understand why people from your country (America) hate Asian people". She also gets a lot of dirty looks from other Thai people (men and women) when we are out together.

Is that in one 7-11 or several?.... It's pretty easy to see why supply chains etc could be disrupted at this time. 

Several locations. This started last week, however the supermarkets around me are fully stocked.

What's going on with 7-Eleven in Bangkok? Shelves are becoming more baren every day and nothing is being restocked.

Please tell me those aren't US flags sewn together to make bed covers....

Psychology experiment? Pairing a (hopefully) neutral stimulus (the flag) with a negative experience (covid isolation) ought to lead survivors into Pavlovian association of US with awfulness.

Wonder why they didn't use Chinese flags? (not)

They can use Chinese flags for bum wipe.

I've had my first - got through on the original intervac site - so I can't use this.  What I would like is to be able to see the appointment for my second online somewhere, then I would be happier that it's actually going to happen.

I wouldn't really put much faith in their knowledge of how to use a DBMS and detecting pervious vaccinations... Example: The Online 90 Day Reporting system thinks many of us are on overstay including myself.

Two different systems yes I know, but pulling employee talent from the same "gene pool"...

Ever heard the term "No Money, No Honey??"  well the bank says "No Info, No Money"

I haven't walked into a bank to withdrawal money since I opened my account 3 years ago, why would I start now? Ever hear of an ATM? 555

Then a lady about 5-6 ahead of me failed the temperature test.....They would not let her in the bank.....They took her off to the side and started taking all her information (to give all her info to  god only knows who).......

I sure as heck won't be giving "my" information to any of these "not a foreigner" people. Not really sure who in GOD's name they "think" they are, but not going to happen...

I'm surprise Thailand hasn't pulled this load of horse manure on all of us already, along with reoccurring mandatory 10,000 baht Covid-19 tests at the immigration offices...

I heard the same figure earlier of 150,000 doses but it was to be given to foreigners, not specifically to American citizens. I read early this morning in the Thai media the figures below... No mention of any foreigners let alone American tax payers living in Thailand that paid for this. People have said we should go back to our own country to get vaccinated. Following that (lack of intelligence) logic then so should everyone else around the world.

Take note of the specific mention below of "Thai people for whom a Covid-19 infection could be fatal". What about foreigners (no matter where they come from) facing the same life and death situation?

"Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha extended his gratitude to the US for the vaccine donation (1.54m) at a time when Thailand was facing a Covid-19 crisis. The doses would be administered only to frontline medical workers and targeted groups of people, not to VIPs, Ms Traisuree said".

"She said 700,000 doses will be used for third, booster jabs for medical workers who treat Covid-19 patients nationwide; 645,000 doses for Thai people for whom a Covid-19 infection could be fatal; 150,000 doses for elderly people, patients with any of seven chronic illnesses, pregnant women at least 12 weeks into term; people who leave for countries that require inoculation with the Pfizer vaccine, including diplomats and students; 5,000 doses for research; and 40,000 doses kept in reserve to cope with viral mutations".

It's "my personal choice" not to mix vaccines, and I pity the moron (we all know who) that tells me "I don't have a choice". If it's "your personal choice" to mix vaccines I wish you good luck, wealth and happiness...
