2009

Firstly, Thailand is not a 3rd world country. Secondly, there are big corporations in every country. This is the essence of capitalism which we all live by. You don't want control over your own finances? Thirdly, it doesn't matter who the richest is. The reason why you live well, I am sure, I because of capitalism.

And the year's worst thread goes to....the guy with severe first world problems.

I just contacted them. They said Moderna Q1 or Q2, 2022, is all they have now.

For the record, I am not against vaccines. I was vaccinated in the first 10% of Thailand. But to force it in schools seems unnecessary. And schools do nothing when children ride through their gates on motorcycles from the age of 12 or 13 in major cities. In rural areas, could be as young as 9 or 10.

Exactly, we can't compare. Road accidents and swimming deaths account for most child deaths in Thailand. Whereas, covid is virtually no threat to them. But don't you think we should be more concerned about child safety than children getting vaccines to protect others? Ironically, more kids would die on the motorcycle going to the clinic to get the vaccine than the virus itself!

I assume it is. Last week my farang friend got Pfizer for free. She is in her 20s and no underlying health conditions that I am aware of and certainly not pregnant (at least I hope not, haha)

Exactly And top 2 causes of death of under 18s in Thailand: road accident and drowning. How about mandatory helmets and swimming lessons, before covid vaccines?

What proof? My friend got Pfizer and she is young.

I was told by my farang friend last week that she just got a (free) Pfizer vaccine (walk-in) at Medpark. Any truth to this?

It had a farang friend tell me they were allowing walk-ins last week.

Bangkok changes so fast and a lot of old bars are gone. But I am in the mood for a historical pub crawl (after covid). I wanna try them before they are no more. And if anyone fancies joining on such a pub crawl, lemme know! I know about the Madrid and the Old Other Office, but what else is there? Doesn't necessarily have to be Vietnam War era, but just bars that have been around since the 90s at least. Cheers.
