Not sure your point. 

 

Even if the origin of the virus is China's "fault", please educate me on how South America, Africa, South East Asia should suffer because of the greed of the West.

 

 

 

PH

First you explain why the West has a duty of care over those countries and why they should not make profits from their capital expenditure?

Incorrect. I fully understand the economic realities of the World, and in particular the country we live in. 

Some others posting here apparently do not.

Wonder if that is anything to do with the rich West ordering far more than they can use in the immediate future so leaving less available for the rest of the World to obtain.

How dare they! Against a virus that originated in China!

The bare-faced cheek!

That works out to 61 bahts per dose. I wonder how much farangs will have to pay at private hospital / clinics for this?

Foreigners that contribute to social security and pay income tax should get it free, same as the locals.

I wouldn't hold my breath though.

Dear Thanee

 

Dont worry too much. As much as we love the idea of being quarantined  sitting in a hotel for 14 days looking at the lovely  decor, our Government has sadly prevented us from enjoying this unique experience by introducing our very own lockdown. 

 

We hope we will soon have the opportunity again spend our hard earned money on your very generous offer. 

 

Thank you. 

Are British citizens not allowed to leave the country now?

Nonthaburi: Moobaan in full lockdown mode...temp scans at security gate, Gym, Pool and playground closed...again. The irony is on most days...I'm the only one ever using the Gym...I guess I'm being protected from infecting myself..

What happens if you are running a high temperature when they scan you at the gate? Will they detain you and not let you enter your own house?

Is your government giving away free vaccinations to visiting tourists? What makes you entitled to a free vaccination? I fail to see your point..I'm sure we will be offered the chance to pay for a vaccination.

I'm sure they will be if the tourist's country has a reciprocal arrangement such as the UK NHS has with Australia's Medicare.

I pay social security and personal income tax, as well as millions of Baht of tax from my business, surely that entitles me to a free vaccination?

Are you suggesting that if I visit a European country as a non citizen or approved resident it will be provided free.

Some countries have reciprocal arrangements. For example Brits get Medicare in Australia and Aussies get access to the NHS if they are in the UK.

It will probably be free for Thai people, why would you expect it to be free for non Thais

Some non-Thais are working here legally and pay tax and expect the same benefits due to their contributions to social security.

Hearing that travel in and out of several provinces, including Chonburi, is now severely restricted.

2 vaccinations per person. then only 1 million people will get vaccinated, the rich and famous first. What will the other 66 million people do???

There was a time when they could be killed for even looking at the elites.

You have almost all effectively closed restaurants for dine in. You should have closed off all travel when this first started and none of this would be necessary. Again a fine example of effective leadership

When the chips were down they couldn't make the hard decisions when it counted. 

Their success during the first wave now all undone apparently.

Right, but not even draconian Australia would be so protective of citizens as to ban alcohol sales. For me it says a lot of a negative nature that Thailand's knee jerk reaction to elections, religions and covid is for the government to ban alcohol sales. Limiting people's ability to move around would seem a more reasonable first stage restriction than banning alcohol sales. And if stuck in lockdown with curfews, banning alcohol sales as happened last time seems a particularly cruel restriction to apply. 

Consumption of alcohol is technically against their 'religion', so that may play a part.

Should have nothing to do with Thailand if the government's of the UK and USA were at all responsible they would stop their citizens travelling anywhere. The UK has just by population passed the figures even the United States is putting up. There are far more infections per million per day in the UK. 

Correct. I believe Australia did this very early on and there are still restrictions on Aussies leaving.

In Pattaya very few use a helmet noways because no checkpoints, but most have a face mask.

Comical stupidity but par for the course here.

We Brits are still the benchmark that all viruses aspire to.

Voting for an incompetent set of clowns is one thing, if that's what the people want then so be it.

Having an incompetent set of clowns forced upon you is out of your hands and you have no say in the matter.

 

I would sleep better at night knowing that at least I had a choice in which people screwed my country up.

Just for the record, I have never voted in my life and I never will ????

As well as being chosen by popular mandate, the government in the UK is accountable and removable.

Not so in many other countries, including Thailand.

Alternatively , they might have had it before they left Chiang Mai. 

 

If they like entertainment venues they might have frequented some before leaving and picked it up from areas exposed to those that crossed from Burma with it.

Many of the bars and 'entertainment venues' in Sriracha are Japanese only.
