It is very much to the credit of the UK (and the US) that they are giving vaccines to Thailand. They are meant for the Thai people, and that is a good thing to do.

 

That the Thai government may abuse the gift, and that there is no apparent attempt to insist on foreigners (Britons) being fairly included is another matter entirely.

 

As for accountability, this should be in the hands of the electorate, an opinion and decision enforced through the ballot box. Unfortunately this government believes it has all that sort of thing comfortably sewn up.

i dont think its another matter entirely,govt has the resources and knowledge to know what they are dealing with,its their purpose their job,they know full well whats going on and in the back room have exerted pressure,these so called donations are actually a way to get their citizens jabbed without making the thai govt look exactly what it is- corrupt inept and racist.they need to stand up for their own people and make a statement against this type of govt policy.we hear the constant pc whining from the western media every day,illegal immigrants are not called that anymore,theyre simply migrants!,its the best opportunity they will ever get but no....silence again.where are the wokesters ?aghh but only whites are racist, i t doesnt feed the narrative.so people lives are played with due to political proscrastination.the whole thing....apps that dont work etc just doesnt fly...apps can be fixed in hrs everywhere so why dont they work?electorate and opinion from an army coup govt[they dont allow free elections,wakey wakey ] ,even with non army govs...the culture here of feudal corrupt autocracy,thats the real problem and now when every thai can see what it is they still sit there smiling going mai pen rai.well if you dont change things ...guess what nothing changes.real politik....it solves real problems .apply it and we will all be out the other side of plagues and a plague like govt a lot faster and foreign govts can do their bit on that.

arnt there any mirrors in the great hall of fools

most writers have reacted with justifiable outrage to this mindless buumpf,id like to add that testing was never part of the plan so what r the real nos we will never know ,its still absurdly hard to get a free test and if so u must queue aghhhh!dumb and dumber.the vacc roll out,no didnt join covax scheme,criminal negligence charges should be filed.i suggest ramping up oxygen supplies NOW.as for the az vax 6 mill so who supplies the other 4 mill?could it be the one that doesnt work?like throwing snowballs at the sun,send it back get a refund and then buy ones that do work,if no refund coming grab assets.all the people and govts who bought it have been victims of fraud or the corruption of their own govs.many businesses hanging on have or will go now,there must be assistance from the rich the govt and u know who in regards to cash payments to people out of work and business support.the roll out aghhhh where do we start!lets not even start its staring us all in the face .one last thing.EMBASSIES vax your people,get them covered and take some burden off the med services so more thais can get the shots.

there are many different answers to this question.the 1st variable is where u shop.i go to big c/lotus usually as variety and decent prices by local standards.you can go to other shops such as villa tops etc but i find they cost more.in uk and southern europe its variable too.tesco and aldi .those guys are cheap.of course we earn more in comparison in the home countries so.....last time in europe i was in greece and spain just before covid and in uk too a short time,i found fruit/veg so cheap especially in local mkts. in athens,late in the day its a give away,uk too cherries strawberries blueberries etc so cheap,veg too and not hi in pesticides due to local regs.so  i dont think theres a clear answer to this question,look around youll get a cheap deal most everywhere but quality......fresh fish non farmed  try spain and portugal, greece too.depends where u r.beer wine of course europe wins.food on the street- thailand almost every time but not all of the time.some food courts are great others very ordinary.menu del dia off the tourist routes is amazing value.3 courses and a drink[some places a bottle of wine] 8 or 9 euros,hard to beat that.we were such lucky people before covid!!!all these choices were available as free citizens of the world,of course now we could compare vax prices and choices ,testing too but .....lets not go there!!!!

i personally went to register at one of the 2 hospitals that were mentioned a week or so back,i did so on the 1st day of that announcement.at first they wouldnt do it but then relented .i hope to get 1st shot of az beginning of aug thats the only option ive found so far,i will not take the china vaccs that my personal decision based on the facts its useless on the indian variant and side effects ive heard are serious.a 2nd jab-ill take any of the western shots.mix and match with those...yes ,merkels done that so it must be ok.the embassies need to step into this void,theyve jabbed all their staff and itll take a burden off this useless govt and allow more thais jabs.

this is my own personal view and what i intend to do.its all a bit murky of course.i will not take any china jab as its not effective against the indian variant.as for mix and match using this ...no way ill refuse it.i will take AZ as a 1st jab and take it along with J&J pfizer moderna as a 1st or 2nd.this appears the best course to me.as for what can be in done in the short term.make the borders clear IE malaysia and burma where they have hi nos,seal them even at the cost of the hi so business elite losing money.the high cost of china vaccs need to be investigated and and law breaking most be punished and anutins/govts reckless behaviour must be punished too along with his racist rantings.our govts need to step up and fill the void.there is very little other option.some have IE france being the most competent,we cannot trust the govt here in this respect so i suggest the 5 eyes get together and jab their citizens,it will help the overall situation and help a totally incompetent vacc roll out,the staff at 5 eyes embassies have been jabbed so why we arnt also needs to be investigated.many of us are taxpayers.they will look bad  and are presently,the bodies are starting to pile up already.the arrogance of the uk and australian govts is a stark reminder of how the embassies operate but i think most of us are well aware of that already.contact your local MPs at home and rattle their cages severely,also the press at home,the wokesters should be reminded that no matter what colour we are ,we can all be victims.

Last week. 

saturday

i used a red x ing several days ago ,drivers had a long distance to see me clearly barrelled at em lucky to cross safely even though 300 yds before a car when i stepped on x ing.several options here,place a cop on the x ings and bust every car loooking to wipe pedestrians,heavy fine.then put public education ads on tv in regards to this and the other idiotical habits the morons here employ,start heavy fines and taking away licences.the drivers test needs to state very clearly in several ways that other drivers and pedestrians need to respect each other.i gave the driver the finger,he was insulted slowed down but as i ran up to his car brick in hand he drove away.jesus these w...ers are morons at almost every level of society. we can see it with covid and the me me society around us,they got the govt they deserve its a reflection of their values and sitting there with myopic smiles going mai pen rai instead of doing something about sums it up.

Embassy!
Please do this in PATTAYA ASAP.

We have so many HIGH RISK expats in Pattaya that have been able to register for jabs in BANGKOK in late July and August.

But there is a catch. 

Problems with travel restrictions, even quarantines, just to go in for a day.

Will DRIVERS even be willing to take us?

Knowing how this clown show operates, one buffoon will announce that people can only leave their homes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. 

 

The next bright spark will burst forth in a blaze of publicity to announce that shops, supermarkets and markets can only open on Tuesday, Thursdays and Saturdays!

It think that it was said in today's local post that at-risk people, including foreigners, will be vaccinated during July.  I guess that your hospital hasn't gotten the word.  I hope that you get the AZ early in August.  One dose will provide some protection.  You could follow it up with a shot of Moderna or Pfizer.  

thanx for ur post.

i was at samitivej friday thats today,i took my passport and wanted the az jab.today or this mnth.ohhh nooo.so there you have its not on straight from the horses mouth.eventually i was able to get them to register me and they say ill be called the 1st week in aug to get a vaccine appt whatever that means,im an at risk person i have an existing condition thats listed.so.....your guess is as good as ....anyones

rudyard kipling-kim.dont believe what you hear, what you see boy!and another quote from the great man.....theres no sin so great as ignorance,remember this.   ummm well we all know this or anyone who not still wearing the rose coloured specs,its getting spooky and the govt sees us as a nuisance and a cash cow.so embassies  ,youve all been vacced so.....its our turn as we got no chance otherwise

basically its a full scale epidemic,truth in this country along with integrity is hard to find when anyone with authority or a uniform is involved,the death rates are false, the test rates barely plausable.we cant get vacced easily  and our embassies excepting france ,china and USA say go to hell.if we get sick the authorities see an opportunity to steal our money,even though they wont vacc us and weve caught it here .where the hell are these scum bags in the embassy,theyve all been vacced with our taxpayers money,we know we cant rely on a corrupt racist,feudal autocracy but surely our own govts can help .aghh the brits are off virtue signalling in Modis BJP nuclear armed india that has death rates a fraction of eu /uk.looks like we are the wrong colour not just here but at the embassy cocktail parties but of course theyre still in full swing as everyones vaccinated.well you better do something as you will look real bad when the bodies start piling up as theyre doing right now and maybe some people may make you responsible personally ......and you wouldnt like that would you mr ambassador

it seems to be part of a wider pattern of behaviour. the less you test, the less u find.problem,what problem?responsibility, problem solving,making decisions based on logic not self interest.ummm good luck with that.with the indian variant in full swing we are looking at serious problems and nos.as a foreigner u r very exposed with vaccs being basically unavailable till oct and thats what they say except for a lucky few,puket and samui seem to be your best bet.embassies get moving before the bodies start piling up and someone may interrupt your latest round of cocktail parties and bring this to your notice.the USA did that yesterday i believe and its time for the UK and EU except for france that is whos already aware of the problem to sort this out.come on PC UK you ran off in a fit of virtue signalling to assist BJP nuclear armed india that still has  a death rate thats minute compared to europe or north america,shame on you PC scum.
