I think his point is illogical.

 

Could be months, I suppose, but it could be days just as easily;  as you said "who knows?", so no need to disparage everything they do for the sake of it

 

 

I expect that it depends on how many foreigners there are "on the books". Big cities it could take some time to put it all together. Where I am registered, (rural Chiang Rai) I would doubt that there are more than a dozen of us (if that) on the books - hopefully quite quick.

I expect our Embassies will sort out this disparity (????) in how Thai citizens have been treated outside of Thailand, where they have had equal priority and those at risk of dying have been first in the queue.

I wouldn't bank on that!

Plenty of references to Chinese and Australians. I suppose we are being led to believe no others were involved.

Well, no Thai would do something like that...

Ship's Pilot or Aircraft Pilot involved...........and if they know who he is then why not name him ?

A ships pilot is basically the chap who comes aboard to con the ship into harbour and park it. I suspect that something was lost in translation there - shipowner, shipping agent or ships captain perhaps?

The only pilot I have had had dealings with was while transiting the Corinth Canal on a 65 foot sail training yacht I was mate on.  Stavros got on, <deleted> as a fart, spent the whole journey topping himself up from a flask of ouzo, got off at the other end and promptly went <deleted> over tit on the jetty.

Aircraft pilots are easier to spot on the "radar". As the old joke goes, how do you know at a cocktail party who is a pilot? Don't worry, within 5 minutes he will have come up to you and told you! Mind you, he will be the only one drinking following a checklist!

Saddening to see that war-mongering Israel can't keep their Thai workers safe.

 

For as long as the corrupt war criminal Bibi is in charge, there's no hope for peace. He should be tried in an international court for his crimes against humanity.

I wonder whether that same court (when they have a spare moment or two) could try the Hamas militants who threw the alleged homosexuals off the top of the high buildings in Gaza when they took power.

Talking of taking power, Hamas did just that, 16 years ago, and haven't even joked about holding an election since. Quite unlike the West Bank, where that shining beacon of democracy, President Abbas, is in the 17th year of his 4 year term.

Totally agree.....   Ensure those to be released are tested for Covid-19 (RT PCR Test), vaccinate them, quarantine them, then release them.

 

At the same time, ensure fast track vaccination of all prisoners in all prisons - this should be achieved quite easily if there is sufficient volume of vaccine.

 

Fast track vaccinations of all those living in high population density areas i.e. the slums, which they are doing, but more needs to be done, faster. 

 

Fast track vaccinations at all areas where immigrant labourers work and live, as they also tend to live in high population density accommodation.

 

 

 

 

 

All of which make sense.

All of which requires a sufficient supply of vaccines.

There isn't a sufficient supply of vaccines.

They could harvest the data it throws up for "registration purposes"!

The only thing this dumb government hasn't U-turned on is the Phuket sandbox idiocy, the very policy that does require a 180° change of direction.

Some very "influential" "good people" have interests in Phuket. They cannot be disappointed.

IMO it is hardly a decision worth congratulating. Rather it is an inevitable  decision to delay purely and simply because , as you state, there is no significant supply of  vaccine available or guarantee of timely supply in any case.

Meanwhile the revelations about the prisons' internal pandemic may have created some undesirable international curiosity as to what or how to avoid criticism over "humanitarian" rights .

Could it be that vaccine that was intended  for general community schemes is quickly  being diverted to a panicked inoculation of the prison "community ?

I rather doubt that - they will just lie to cover up what is happening in the prisons. Let's face it, the world has known the horror story which is the filthy, brutal, corrupt Thai prison system for years and it has never bothered them!

I suspect that diversion of resources to Phuket to allow them to reopen their star tourist location is more likely - there is money to be made there! That and a failure to produce/source vaccines on the scale they have been claiming.

Update the Damn Platform, stop making it hard for Everyone. 

 

A gifted 16 year old in this day and age should be able to make a universal language "App" to register for something as simple as an inoculation Que. 

 

THAI IMMIGATION should have every residents Personal Information and number by now.  The health Ministry cant call the Ministry of Interior? 

 

Registration for : Everyone!  Learn a new word:     "Everyone" 

 

eve·ry·one

/ˈevrēˌwən/

 

 

No one knows what foreigner means anymore.   There is no Foreignland.

 

No one comes from such a place. 

 

If people continue to label others apart from themselves we are no better off than The Atrocities against Thais, Jews, Australians, Chinese, Koreans, Americans, Phillipines or any of the haineous crimes committed during War.

 

The Wars are over....   there is no US and THEM...... 

 

Discrimination in Thailand needs to Stop Now.   

 

Say No to a "Back of the Bus" Attitude and Belief! 

 

For generations now they have undergone an education system in which everyone must pass, irrespective of their actual performance. In just about every field of endeavour, every professional occupation, nepotism, ability to pay and connections are the criteria for advancement; ability simply does not count. The place is awash with comic opera uniforms, medals and badges which even the recipients don't understand. Everything  is subservient to an image, an image which supports a very small number of people at the top of society.

The result - when something like this pandemic occurs they simply do not have the beginning of a clue as to how to react. All they can do is pose, make meaninglessness and contradictory announcements for which they have neither the means nor the ability nor frankly the interest to put into place.

Meeting the challenges of this pandemic will require clear thinking, planning, clear instructions and simple hard work to make the plan and instructions work.

This bunch? Not a hope!

A committee to speed things up!

Don't worry I suspect they don't work and aren't linked to any database.

I've been in and out several times, mostly they didn't bother asking me to finger them.

Thais love to buy stuff that doesn't work, but never admit it.

Im certain that they don't work. I have an unfortunate condition which has turned the little finger on each hand into, effectively, seized up claws. Apart from entertaining the children at school no end - little so and so's just love giving me the three finger salute - it meant iI couldn't use immigrations finger tip pad. They really couldn't care less!

She looks an attractive young lady who it seems has an independent mind/view of certain affairs.

And yes, there are some jolly attractive young ladies in 7/11 and Tesco Lotus as well.

But then I have always held that the coming and going at shift change time at the adjoining Pizza 1112 and Swensens here in Chiang Rai would simply stop the traffic back home in the UK! So many of them are absolutely gorgeous!

It is a powerful reason for living here!

I don't see much of this at the beaches in Phuket...a few BIBs patrolling the beaches would keep the Jomtien alkies in check. 

1)The beach has no air conditioning. The police station does, as do their pick up trucks.

2)Much of this diabolical activity takes place in the open air (as we have established) and at night. An environment which is rather outside the constabularies comfort zone!

We'll of course that makes perfect sense - as soon as word gets out that you are taking registrations at a convenient location, pack up and bug out to somewhere else!
