HAPPYNUFF

Why open the schools, why educate the proletariat, the hisos need to keep the masses uneducated and stupid, how else can they get the rice cut and all those tuk tuk drivers the country needs. Education in the wrong hands is dangerous, particularly if your a dictator.

Give the poor (?) man a chance to explain, I bet when all is revealed we will find his ever loving mummy took in washing, while he collected and sold used bottles to supplement the measly police pay. I mean Thai Police, also known as the brown slime, be corrupt???heavens to bettsy.

Further to my post Saturday 24, Page 26... Got an email from Maha Public Hospital in Korat PM Monday 23, to attend Central Shopping Mall Korat 10am to 1pm today Tuesday 24th for Pfizer... Went, hundreds there, mainly Thais getting 2nd Sinopharm needle. Take yr passport and address details, fill in a question aire, all in Thai, Vaccinations started 10.50. After the jab waited 30 minutes and out by 11.22. Back for second needle 14th Septem,ber. same time and place. Now to try and get my 3,300 baht back from St Marys Private Hospital, tho they suggest I can nominate someone else to take my place.. Hope my wifes daughter has that much cash.!!

Registered on 3rd August with Expatvac and unable to add both passport and visa, so even though my registration was accepted, I assumed I would be rejected.. My wife then got onto St Marys private hospital in Korat City, registered both her and I there, for Moderna vaccine. Paid, up front, 6,600 baht for two needles each. will be advised in September when Moderna arrives there. Now, last night, Monday 23, got an email from Maha Hospital in Korat re my expatvac registration,,,to attend Central Shopping Mall 10am to 1pm today, Tuesday 14th, for Pfizer vaccination........Attended, hundreds and hundreds there, mainly Thais getting 2nd dose of Sinopham.. Fairly well organised, except questionaire in Thai, so guessed at the answers, Vacinations started at 10.15, after one doze of Pfizer, and 30 minute wait , I was out by 11.22am St Marys Hospital tells me I can change the name for my date, my stepdaughter can have the M oderna, but I want 3,300 baht back??

Dont worry if you got a rejection notice,,, I bungled my application with Expatvac, but got my Pfizer shot thru them, with hundreds of others today, at Central Mall, Korat. Got email advice PM on Monday 23rd to attend AM 24th.

I, like many others, when I registered on 3rd of the month, was unable to load both my passport and visa details. My registration was accepted, b ut like many, I expected to get a rejection notice later. Instead I got advice to my email address PM on 23rd, telling me,,, and many more, to attend Central Shopping Mall in Korat between 10am and 1pm Tuesday 24th. Went there, arrived 8.45am.. Long queue, mostly Thais. On the 4th floor. Bit of a shambles at first, given a form to fill in, all questions in Thai, so did the best I could, probably told them Im pregnant, have dandruff, ingrown toenails, etc, as I ticked Yes to everything. 2nd Dose of Sinophorm being given, mainly Thais in that queue, You had to write down on the numbered ticket you were given did you want Pfizer. Yes please. Anyway, once sorted out, very quick. Everything actually started at 10.10am, I was done and dusted by 10,52, had to sit for 30 minutes and allowed to leave at 11.22am Back later in September, same time and place. Need to take your passport and home address details.

Just another piece of Thai <deleted>, like some of the negative responders here.

The list of those to attend is sent using your email name, not your actual name. To confirm you are listed, move cursor to first list of email names, click the drop down sign and scroll down. Tho you should have received an individual notice.

NEWS FLASH>>> MODERATORS MAYBE YOU COULD PUT THIS IN A PROMINENT SPOT PLEASE Maha hospital in Korat has sent an email advising all that vaccination is TODAY, between 10am and 1pm at Central shopping centre, Korat. To find if you are on the list.... move cursor to end of the email names shown in the line, and click on the drop down sign and scroll. Didnt count but there appears maybe over a 100 namas,, listed by your E mail address. , not your actual name.

The wife and I were having one of our no speak days, till I started reading this and other jokes to her.. Shes laughing now.

Whats green and lies at the bottom of the Irish Sea.????..People who tell Irish jokes.

We all know that the population of sheep in New Zealand exceeds the human population, but its not really fair that a man cant take his wife to the football, just because she want to jump over the fence and eat the grass.

I know her father, Like Lee, and her brothers, Hard Lee, and Possib LEE. Must say I dont know the boyfriend.

Even my wife laughed.. Keep them coming.

Well. as the UK has now left the EU, retiring in Spain appears finished. Same with Malaysia, with recent changes to pension amount and cash in bank. Ditto Vietnam, closing the visa loopholes. It will only be a matter of time, probably once this Chinese virus eases off, before this sham of a government again turns the spotlight on farangs and figures out more ways to screw us or get rid of us On a nother note, I was doing sum arithmetic, as to amount of money farangs actually keep lodged and bring into this country. Assuming the publicly stated figures of some 40,000 farangs, enrolling in Expatvac,assuming they are European, Amercian, British etc, is correct, assume the average amount each has lodged for visa purposes in a bank at 400,000 baht and further speculate that each spends 30,000 baht per month, being cash bought into the country...Unless my calculator is having a bad hair day, when multiplied, I get a figure in the many, many billions of baht. What would happen if it was all moved out.. But wait those filthy . and I use the term loosely,, rich Chinese and Indian tourists would pick up the slack,,wouldnt they??

Tried and tried again..to register, failed.. using a different email address, and dropping last numeral off my passport, again, no matter what I did, from the advice given here couldnt load both passport and visa ... I havent been rejected, yet, but probably will, so the wife got onto a private hospital in our province, paid 6,600 baht up front for two injections each of Moderna, and was told we will be advised when to attend. I keep telling my other half, the boss, now you know why I drink...

::Soon:: translated from the Thai means ::Later:: Ive given up after being rejected by Expatvac, due to being unable to add both my passport and visa attachments, being put on a ::list:: at my local hospital,, another list at the hospital in the next province, and no word since, many many days later..so Ive paid 6,600 baht for my wife and I to register at a private hospital in our province,, for two injections each, and Im told it will be the Moderna variety. on a pay now, vaccine later basis , of course.

I wish people who post on this forum would be more exact when describing or naming a place.. For instance, there are numerous " I registered and went to Central today......"" there are many Centrals,,which one exactly are you referring to.? The same.." went to BHP today,," ,,, what Broken Hill Proprietary Limited, a large company in Australia you mean?? I realize posters are trying to help, but they must realize many on this forum are no longer in their youth, or are not aware of many abbreviated place/institutions names that a person from a particular locale is aware of.

On a different thread a poster has told if you hold down the CONTROL tab and then move cursor over each photo , you can download both.... Too late for me tho, I stuffed up twice, using different e mail names. 2 rejection notices expecte3d for me.

When I first came to this country, in 1987, on holiday, there were no computers, mobile phones, extremely limited TV , and of poor quality anyway, and the main danger was to watch out for Somchai galloping past on his buffalo. Here we are now in 2021, and you expect Thais to be able to develop an efficient internet programme to. . enable us poor farangs to register for the vaccine. I have , twice, using different e mail addresses, and it is only now I see, from a very helpful commentator, that to upload BOTH your passport and visa extension details, you just have to hold down the control tab, highlight both pages, and move them to the email....Too late for me, Im now waiting for two rejections. And some wonder why us farangs are driven to strong drink.

How many females have been lured overseas with promises of no hanky panky,, either just as friends or offer of a respectful job.. Im sure most of us know some horror stories. In fact my wifes cousin was one, lured to Sydney, work as a waitress she was assured by a friend,, finished up locked up in a brothel. She managed to phone my wife, I got onto Immigration in Sydney and gave them the address, they raided the place, apparently 5 other girls there in the same situation, only an old Mama San in charge,, organiser/owner of the brothel well away and hidden. Just have a look at the "personal" column of your local newspaper, hundreds of females, from all over the world offering "services" A cop I know tells me quite a lot of them are in country on a tourist visa in Australia, organised by gangs.

A bit off topic, but considering the new visa regulations coming in place, retrospectively, in Malaysia, whereby for a retiree, a monthly income of $9400, plus in excess of $300,000 in the bank, permanently, is going to be the requirement, I have little doubt the wonders that run this circus will be looking, and considering similar legislation.... But hey, think of all those rich Chinese and Indian tourists who will take our place??? Two weeks at a time, no less.

Kee Tua,,, Im not a computer geek, but my Lenovo seemed to have every problem imaginable. Jumping out of programmes was a main thing, frequent jamming, refusing to connect with my printer, and when, wouldnt print correct page... The technical terms are beyond me, but my friend tells me he has similar problems, or rather did have, till he got rid of it. I bought it direct from a large shop dealing in computers, On taking it back I was told I would have to send it myself to an agent in Bangkok, whom I had never heard of, at my expense. Even now it stumbles along, I try not to use it often now. I have previously owned Acers,, never a problem, just got old and worn out. I was sweet talked into this thing.

I wish you all the best should you be unfortunate enough to decide on a Lenovo. I have owned three computers in my short life of using these new fangled machines, and my present one, a Lenovo, costing just under 19000 baht some 6 months ago has aged me considerably ..Three times it has been back for repair, at a cost, so far, in excess of 7000 baht. Warranty you ask, whats a warranty in Thailand look like.??? I have a friend who also bought one of these Chinese disasters, and has suffered similar problems. As he has far more money then me, he has bought another, different make of course, and uses his Lenovo as a door stop now. Says it works very good in that use.

OK wonder of wonders, changed to English/US, from English /UK,, and fixed.... learn something new every day.. Thanks all.
