Does no one in their high castle actually think about things before they make these announcements?

How many Thai women are there in the workforce, who are pregnant and can still effectively work from home? What stage of pregnancy, as soon as she knows, she will be asked to work from home? 

Those working in supermarkets, mum and dad stores, restaurants, hotels, bars, hairdressers, stores of any kind, petrol stations, coffee shops, pharmacies, factories, rice fields, rambutan and Durian orchards...they can all.work from home?

Men. Typical. Great idea, protect pregnant women, but have no idea or the impact of practicalities.

If the sex is consensual, no foul.

Smoking cigarettes is not illegal, as far as I know. Electronic ones are, as I recall. Petty.

All hospitals should be biological sex segregated. Or perhaps, even gender segregated.

Rumpy pumpy never stops. 

I too registered in expatvac. Got the auto email. Nothing else since.

Wife and poo Yai Bahn chit chat, poo Yai and local doctor and wife chit chat. It appears my name is on a list of people for vaccination. Would be nice if someone in authority let me know, instead of wife and poo yai....We're going into Si Saket city on 1st September. Me to see if this is just BS, the wife because she believes...

You do understand that there is a sizeable percentage of the population who don't want to be vaccinated?

You have evidence of this?

How many vaccinations sites are there, or more accurately, are there and have there been?

Seems like shed loads, none of which seem to have been any good for me.

5 million foreigners in Thailand, I am told. I

54,000 registered in this site. Where are the other 4,946,000? Already vaccinated?

registered on Aug 1, still high and dry up in Chiang Mai.  no notification.

Still waiting in Si Saket...

Has the committee the authority to propose changes? Has a referendum taken pl!ace about changing the constitution? Does parliament have authority to change the constitution? After all, I was under the impression that only the National Council for Peace and Order people could do that.

Dead friend?

Give me a break and <deleted> grow up.

There are bigger things to worry about.

If you can't grow up, look to your history when most of Thailand was part of the Khmer Empire and see the style and architecture of the temples at that time. If your netizens are so incensed that the MOC is doing nothing, what the <deleted> do you want them to do? Object to planning permission? Get a <deleted> life.

The Food and Drug Administration in Thailand seeks more information about the COVID-19 vaccine made by Pfizer after its American counterpart approved the full-scale administration of the vaccine for people aged 16 years and over.

Why?

The US FDA has approved it. Does no one recognise this? Why does Thailand, and probably other countries have to have more information?I

Mutual recognition is the way to go. 

This just annoys the hell out of me.

I'm a bit worried that the vaccine was perhaps 'wrongly' handled or 'not working' due to being nearly expired. 

Worry not, as the expiry date is probably calculated with a reasonable margin of safety. Probably around a factor of 1 1/2 or 2, when correctly stored and handled. 

With regards to the positioning of the broken down car, I suggest the hard shoulder is not sufficiently wide for a stopped vehicle. I do see the Accord appear to be moving toward the parked car, some distance before the vehicle was hit. I noticed that the Accord had appeared to have crossed into the hard shoulder some time prior to the accident. I cannot say with certainty whether the car had its hazard lights on.

There is a lot to be said, at this point, for the practise in the area where I live, to place a tree branch some short distance behind the stopped vehicle. Or perhaps, as required in other countries, 2 red triangles strategically placed so that an approaching driver either sees them, or the vehicle runs over them, thus alerting the driver that something is amiss. It has to be said, though, driver and passenger were still around the car, whereas I was always taught, get away from it, as far as you safely can. That being said, there appeared to be no safe havens for people on that road. And the concrete barriers along the road are not tall enough.

63, in Isarn. Still waiting for expatvac to get back to me.

I am in favour of renewable energy, as such. We have...when I say we, I mean the wife, has nearly 2 rai of land out the back of the house currently not in use, as rice farming is a loss making exercise. I would love to plant a field of of panels and a battery house for storage. Problem is, cost benefit exercise shows it is beyond my means. No one in the village is able to help fund such a project either, so the land remains unused. But the wife refuses to part with it. Same as the 3 rai nearer the local town. Can't sell this as it has papers on it. No one wants rice land with papers. Nothing generates an income. Land is derelict, deserted. What is the point?

Another 'No <deleted> Sherlock' moment.

Only individuals who are certified as being at-risk of getting infected by COVID-19 and are registered with the NHSO can receive ATKs free-of-charge from participating pharmacies.

What are the 'at risk' categories? Who 'certifies' one as being 'at risk'? Why only those registered with NHSO? Why only 10% of the type 1 pharmacies registered? Why do they have to 'register'? Pitiful.

Maj Sorathip along with fellow officers and rescue workers from the Mai Khao Tambon Administrative Organisation (OrBorTor) arrived at the scene to find the pickup by the side of the road, still impaled by the guardrail.

Which is worse, really. Should have paid for the meal. Now the restaurant owner has a hold over these coppers.

If coppers cannot say no to a friendly offer of a laap, then they should be fired, in my view.
