So now you doom mongers are trying out a "the sandbox is too successful" narrative? ????

You need to stop buying those cheap chinese calculators that seem to pull numbers out of thing air. Strangely, it always results in a number that suits your "thailand bad" narrative that permeants every single one of your posts.

Don't worry, the same people beaking off about "buh it's too early to open" will be the same ones beaking off about that. They will never missing and opportunity to hypocritically whine about Thailand.

Does this include Fox news? I certainly hope so.

Those days of just being able to show your passport are long gone as far as I know. They haven't allowed that for years. I believe it is gov't mandated so all the banks need to comply. I think Bangkok bank was one of the last to fully comply several years ago.

Just FYI, there are websites where you can purchase throwaway onward tickets for just this purpose. It's all legit as far as I can tell. I know people who have done this. https://bookonwardticket.com/ https://onwardticket.com/ https://bestonwardticket.com/ https://aironwardticket.com/ https://onewayfly.com/ You can also book last minute from popular websites like Expedia and Orbitz that have free cancellation within 24 hours. Some airlines also have free cancellation within 24 hours if that gives you enough time.

As far as I know you need a residence certificate and a permanent address that is not a hotel or a mailbox or whatever. Not sure if they want to check your visa or not. At one point, Bangkok Bank didn't check for the residence certificate and didn't verify the permanent address was actually yours. So it was much easier to set up an account there. I think they check all that stuff now.

Why are all these stories just mentioning Hua Hin when it also includes Pattaya and a few other places as far as I can tell?

Yes and no. Some of the side effects happen on the 2nd dose of the same vaccine. For example, the heart inflammation caused by the mRNA vaccines usually happens with the 2nd dose. I think the blood clot issue with AZ sometimes happened with the 2nd dose as well. So it's not simple math of 1+1=2x more side effects. By mixing you are actually reducing the likelyhood of some things.

Yes, there are at least 3 different high quality studies I am aware of. I think the Spanish one has been fully peer reviewed. I think parts of the UK study have been peer reviewed. Maybe all of it by now. I got AZ + Pfizer myself. Surprisingly I am still alive, did not grow horns, nothing. Kind of bummed that my 5G signal did not improve.

--Anti-vaxxers/deniers probably. Some of the same idiots who don't seem to have a problem taking horse dewormer.

Which is why you need to be vaccinated first, like all the tourists are. Apparently you didn't bother to connect those dots.

From what I have read, you should always have a little bit of carbs with your protein. I think it helps the body process it. I don't think you need much though. When you get that giant mound of rice with your meal you should only have a tiny bit. Like one or two tablespoons at most. I usually leave most of it on my plate. They can give the rest to the soi dogs.

My understanding is the new law specifically prohibits it from being sold online.

Computers are completely commoditized. There is not really such a thing as brand anymore and not much support either. They all use the same parts and drivers from the same 3rd party manufacturers. Some of them install their own bloatware apps but it's all garbage and usually the first thing I uninstall. Having said that, as far as laptops I always buy Acer. I am on my 3rd one now and haven't had any problems with any of them. I know some people who have Acer desktops and they seem happy with them.

Sadly, you are probably wasting your time posting these facts around here. I'm sure there will be some ridiculous fact free comments following this that will prove it.

Sure, sign me up. Already had 2 of the 5. I'm at least hoping to get Novavax for my booster at some point down the road.

Actually, mixing AZ + Pfizer has proven to trigger the most potent immune response of all. Several studies have been done, some peer reviewed, some preliminary. I am not going to waste my time doing a search and providing links for the FUDsters who don't care about facts anyways.

I believe there are at least 3 peer reviewed studies on mixing vaccines now. No, I am not going to find them for you. If you are trying to post FUD you aren't interested in facts anyways.

But they are 'not anti vaccine', they just oppose vaccines because reasons and constantly post about opposing vaccines. But they are not anti-vaxx. ????

Those blue hospital masks are probably the most confortable and easiest to breath in. Even more than cotton masks. As long as they continue allowing those I'm good. Those N95 masks are designed to seal around your face so they are not as comfortable and harder to breath.

So does this mean tourists with AstraZeneca + Pfizer (like me) will be recognized as having 2 shots? Would be nice to see official guidance on this. I presume it will but I want to be sure.

What do you mean which part? The tourist part. Patong.

The promise of herd immunity and all the magical things that was supposed to bring us is not happening. Not at 80%, not at 90%. You will never get 100% but even if you could it's not happening there either. It will become endemic just like the flu. We couldn't stomp that out with vaccines either.

These link answers all those questions. https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/personal-protective-equipment-infection-control/n95-respirators-surgical-masks-and-face-masks https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/pdfs/UnderstandDifferenceInfographic-508.pdf https://www.orient-hose.com/the-difference-between-medical-and-non-medical-masks-in-n95/ Based on that info I would say industrial grade is fine as long as it does not have a valve. It seems the main difference with medical grade is that they have a coating to prevent blood and body fluid penetration. That's only relevant in a medical setting.
