Those who want to get tested are required to show their ID cards to officials at the facility.

Well, that's me [self deleted a swear words that bypassed the filter].

Even if I were to live there, no test for me. What is it with ID cards?

Bored once more. Can't register, can't get vaccinated. Got a year's extension, though. 

I think perhaps the price is the factor here. 

1480 people a day died in May, according to my calculations. Many will be cremated on family land, but many will have no land and be too poor to pay for a temple cremation. Kudos to those who offer free cremations.

The PM went on to indicate that Gavi, the World Vaccine Alliance, which counts UNICEF among its members, plans to provide 60 million doses of Sinopharm and 50 million doses of Sinovac vaccines under the COVAX program to impoverished nations.

Is he implying that Thailand is an impoverished nation...?

Oh, but didn't Thailand decline Covax...? Have they changed their minds, meaning rather, has Big Uncle changed his mind?

An Elon Musk moment?

We are in discussions with them, but not directly. Probably means the government will be in discussions with them sooner or later and when they are, we will be ready to discuss with the government for 20 million of the vaccines they procured. 

just something to boost the market value of the hospital group. A job for the Thai version of the SEC to deal with? Perhaps fake news, so something the digital police to deal with? Defamation? 

Perhaps the shareholders could review his tenure as a purveyor of untruths.

Senior leaders within the Democrat Party say they will not lead the party out of the ruling coalition despite increasing calls by members to leave.

What happens if all the non-government members left? No party? Or course not. Enough trough feeders to keep it going, and it's not just party members that vote at elections.

all members leave, join other parties, especially those that move the country forward.

The PM - called Big Too by the media - wants to see more free wi-fi in places like educational establishments and offices for the benefit of his people.

Nothing is free. Somebody pays.

Free, meaning not paying at the point of use, or free, meaning the ability to access all websites without interference?

Unlikely, one suspects, to be the latter. And as I said, nothing is for free. So this story is bunkum.

The bit in the email says Thailand asked AZ to delay delivery. See also the Forum link at the top left of this page. The headline on this page is ambiguous at best, spurious and incorrect at worst. Can be read as Thailand asking AZ to extend delivery date,or, as appears to be the case, Thailand was asked by AZ if AZ could extend the delivery dates.

Frustrating, to say the least. Would be annoyed if the Thai government had asked AZ to delay delivery. That's why I clicked it.

 I suggest the link needs to be renamed, as it could be classified as false news.

Don't. Just don't.

Why print or pub!ish this?

60% is not complete. Let me know when it's complete and when the delivery date is. Perhaps then, it will be news.

My house is 60% sold, my car has lost 60% of what I bought it for. 

No one cares. 

Still bored.

Must get a life. 

Extension of stay planned for tomorrow, will worry about that. I wonder if the IO have been vaccinated.

Call it 'Death in Service' benefit.

My company has it and it was payable if I was on company business or not. Company paid an insurance premium to cover all employees. Damn good idea.

By the by... How do they know who it was that edited the Wiki entry? at

serious quesrion, not knowing how it works.

Wayhey....

Yes, help them keep off the roads. Let them clean lakes and ditches, build run offs in the middle of highways. Anything to keep them away from driving.

After learning of this untruth, Dr Yong instructed a woman called Soraya to file a complaint on his behalf with the Pathumwan police. 

can't do it himself, as he was the victim? Who is this woman? 

<deleted> scared they would find the whole construction industry is rife with the virus. As has been said before, what the eye don't see, the heart don't grieve over.

Well, whooppee <deleted> dooo.

Aren't were lucky ones? Oh, no, we're not. Some of us haven't had one vaccination yet, to mix with anything else.

but bless dear old uncle for being so open minded.

Been 45 and over for some time. This is not news, this is old.

The answer has to be, why not?

In many countries, drivers license and registration and sometimes insurance documents are required to be shown. 

Is this your car, sir? Do you know why I stopped you..? Standard questions too.

perhaps the boys are doing what they are paid for.

Military officers for crowd control.

Hmm, recipe for disaster. Usually use them for this purpose under different circumstances...Myanmar springs to mind.

Authorised by whom, one wonders. I suspect someone who has no idea of how US nationals are being treated in LOS.

Mind you, a good way of spreading whatever virus variant that is inThailand among the soldiers in Fort Bragge and the locale. Someone said once, there is no cure for stupid.

What time was he there? Between 21:00 and 04:00? No one arrest him, fine him?

While everyone is fawning over him, miscreants are getting away with it.

I don't recall seeing him in one of the local villages when that went into lockdown... There must be a word or phrase to describe this sort of thing.

The government has said that misinformation about its policies have caused undue panic and unwarranted criticism, something it wants to cut down on.

to cut down on what? Misinformation, undue panic or unwarranted criticism?

the government can't get its ducks in a row, nor can any one Department agree on what is policy. No one, to coin a <deleted> phrase, sing from the same song sheet.

Undue panic...2 people came back from Bangkok last week, just before the curfew, sorry, restrictions came into force. Gave covid to their kid, who was schooling in the local village school while they were away working. Kid gave it to other pupils, now, around 30 people have it from those 2. Villages around, especially where I stay, panic is a mild word. 

Unwarranted criticism... Vaccine registration, vaccine procurement, dependency on 1 Chinese vaccine, where the <deleted> are the vaccines from the company owned by he who must not be named? Unwarranted my <deleted>. <deleted> up and brewery springs to mind.

And...?

I'm sorry, I see no reason this is posted.
