    but it was Anutin, who refused to contract reasonable quantity the Astra Zeneca, even if offered so by the AZ. That was for $6 per dose. If they contracted earlier they would pay only just over $2 per dose.

    A few months later thailand was forced to buy over 50mln sinovac at $20/dose - in the meantime refusing india's ambassodor donation of millions doses. 

    And many more millions of sinopharm on order of princess - that one outside of health ministry. Again, some $20/dose.

    That much public money was wasted by Anutin's negligence. Just short of $1bln down the drain.

     

    If not pfizer donation of 1.5mln in 08.2021 by the usa government and 400k of AZ by the UK, the majority of foreigners in thailand would not have any jab well into 2022. Another 1mln donation of pfizer never made it to thailand, because thai embassy in washington didn't bother with filling up some essential paperwork for the shipment.

     

     

    Don’t forget the forgotten 300k AZ from Bhutan as well !

    So what kind of visa does the typical Russian get to visit Thailand?  45 days on arrival?  tourist visa?  or some sort of long term?

     

    Sure seems to me that there could well be a lot of Russians not anxious to go back to Putin land when their visa options all expire?  Will Thailand round them up and deport them?  Or maybe they move over to cambodia for a few years?

    Makes ya wonder if Thai Authorities in late October where aware for many Ruskies it was not the usual holiday escape but a one-way ticket with no intention of returning in 45-60-90 days........

    No one in Russia is innocent of the atrocities the Russian country is committing each day. Thais should be ashamed of themselves, but they never learn beyond the tourist dollar.

    Just to add to that, I just heard the going rate for the education visa in Phuket is 60,000 baht, my young Russian neighbour ( military ) and his wife will probably head to Hua Hin in 5-6 weeks to obtain it there for 30,000 baht......well done immigration.......
