I'm upset because it's 'fake news' which I thought was against the law.

Things aren't getting better ......... they're getting worse.

(In CM they just closed all the schools again)

 

At this point in time, I'd be happy if they just allowed me to hold the empty cup.

So those tourists walking around are all paid actors?

Is this forum sponsored by the junta ?

Clearly not with all the doom mongers around here.  You seem quite upset at the positive news in this thread.  Why is that?  Can't stand the thought of the cup being half full?

Buh but the doom mongers here tell me there are no tourists.  That it's all fake news.  So how can taxis be gouging imaginary tourists?

Princ Hospital Group allowed pre-registration and today opened for payment. I had already registered the other day so upon receiving a message that I could now pay starting at 9 a.m., I tried but was unsuccessful despite probably more than 30 attempts. Finally, a message appeared on the screen advising that they were temporarily closing payment registration due a system overload. 

It's almost as if there is lots of demand to get vaccinated or something.  Who'd a thunk.  It's not like that didn't happen in pretty every single other country in the world at first.  Including strained websites and initial bugs.

This is quite an easy bet that I am wiling to make. Its just an educated guess (on past performance) that I think you are 100% wrong. 

 

Are you willing to take the bet? 

I bet you all that Phuket would open.  I win.  Buh bye now. 

How can this be?  The doom mongers here told me this was un-possible and they are never wrong!

This must all be a giant conspiracy using paid actors or something.

Explain?

 

The contract Thailand Government signed was with AZ not Siam Bioscience, they just produce it under license from AZ

I think you are confusing the manufacturing deal the Gov't made with AZ to manufacture it in Thailand, at Siam Bioscience, including technology transfer. I believe that is separate from a supply deal between the Gov't and Siam Bioscience.  Typically, gov'ts around the world give their local manufacturers seed money in exchange for a future promise of x amount of vaccines.

There is also most likely yet another supply agreement between Siam Bioscience and AstraZeneca.  That one would require Siam to ship a certain percentage of their supply to other countries around Asia.

Ah, the contract. Are you sure i t didn't say that they will make best efforts like the EU contract? And then the EU started to insist the difference was made up from UK labs... How did that go?

 

Ah, no not that contract.  The contract between Siam Bioscience and the Thai Gov't.

     Yes, I think it does matter.  The fine print in AZ contracts, from what I have heard regarding this same issue in Europe, actually says they just need to make some sort of 'best reasonable effort' to deliver the vaccines.  Several Asian countries that were expecting their AZ shipments did not get them--but perhaps a best reasonable effort was made.  

I am talking about the contract between Siam Bioscience and the Thai Gov't.  Not the contract with AstraZeneca.

Not even enough Astrazeneca to do a large town and outlying villages!!!!. Amateurs

Since you are apparently a 'professional' what do you suggest?

Only in Thailand, you have to pay upfront for a vaccine, which MAYBE you then will receive in the next 6 months.

 

I guess the main reason they lowered the price is because they didn't collect enough advance payments, for something the may never be delivered, and is not refundable.

 

Don't they have any shame? ( No need to answer that question)

Then don't.  You can sign up for the free one if you don't mind what you get or pay for it if you do.

Don't worry, no one's coming.

The only person who sounds worried is you.  We all know how you doom mongers hate the idea of people coming to Thailand and enjoying themselves.

Since crossing the Mekong river at Nong Khai is fairly central to the project, I am surprised that it is only now being proposed for discussion.

 

Personally I reckon they will have to build a bridge!

They are still years away from that part of the project being completed.  So no surprise they are still working out those details.

Lol all the butthurt comments here from the doom mongers being proven wrong yet again, still cheerleading for failure.

This is why I will always rent.  Never own.  You can just hand the keys over and move if you have problems like this.

Any chance those services start up again when tourists come back?  Bell travel bus was a great option to have.
