He is Chinese.  He also has paid-for citizenship of St. Kitts and Nevis

Funny, when a Chinese citizen pays for an Australian citizenship, and then uses that citizenship to go back to China and stir up trouble, the west/Australia sees him as Australian.

Did you write this? "Catching Covid and drinking often go together.  You get rid of one, you get rid of the other to a large degree."

You did so i was replying to statement.

You seem very sure of your stance, so go argue it where it really matters.  I.E. put your money where your mouth is, go to the beaches and parks in Thailand where there are restrictions, and start drinking and taking your mask off.

EDIT: better yet, find a policeman in those places, walk right up to him, and do those things

NO

No, drink has zero to do with it. People gathered together in a confined area maybe, weather drinking, eating somtam or shopping in Central.

People walking, jogging or swimming on the beach are not a health issue at all.

You really shouldn't be debating this with me.  You should go to the beach/boardwalk in Pattaya, alcoholic drink in hand, and debate this with the cop who will be coming your way.

So covid only attacks drinkers, an interesting if flawed analysis.  

Catching Covid and drinking often go together.  You get rid of one, you get rid of the other to a large degree.

@wadman no bangkok is the same as chonburi and is allowed dine-in now.

Source?

This is an article in the Bangkok post today, Tuesday May 18.

Clusters surge across capital (bangkokpost.com)

It mentions nothing about dine-in being allowed in Bangkok.  Nor could I find an article that does.  Nothing on nationthailand.com either.

Sheeps will all be vaccinated, so why someone who doesn't want should also be ?

 

 

The company in the OP isn't forcing/coercing their employees to get vaccinated.  It's a condition of employment.  If you refuse the vaccine and stay home (and don't get paid), they are OK with it.  It's like me taking goods from a store, and then be "forced" to pay for it.  Or being a citizen of a country and be forced to pay taxes on my earnings.

The persons already vaccinated will be protected from developing severe Covid symptoms that's what the vaccine does right ?

1. Vaccines are not 100% effective.  A vaccinated person can still get infected, but at a much lower chance.  A vaccinated person who gets infected, can get seriously sick (and possibly die), although again at a much lower chance.  

2. Some people may not be able to get a vaccine due to medical conditions.

I am pro vaccination but whatever happened to a persons right to choose?

What about the rights of coworkers who will be at risk working (in person) with unvaccinated colleagues?

@wadman but bangkok numbers are, so again i ask what was the point?

CHONBURI numbers have been down for the lasy few days => relaxation in CHONBURI measures (dine-in allowed with restrictions)

Bangkok numbers are about the same => no Bangkok measures relaxed

Surely that makes logical sense?

Just now, paulikens said:

Excellent news but what i want to know is why it was put in place anyway? as the numbers of cases is still at roughly the same amount, so what was the point of it , proves there was no need to do it, to start with.    all about control and power

The numbers for Chonburi are not "still roughly the same amount", they have been down for the last few days.

after the second vaccination the threshold of the viral load will not reached to in order for someone to become infectious

Then why did the New York Yankees remove the 8 infected members (1 player + 7 staff/coaches) from the team?  Those 8 were fully vaccinated, and according to you they cannot infect anyone anyway.  There goes another myth...

Quote? Why? You can go out and celebrate and if they lock you up and you have to wait for the court, I'll wait, what the Int. Media write about you and the "bad" Thai police.

I'm sure your embassy will do whatever it takes to get you out of the monkeyhouse, if they find time for a farang who doesn't accept the law. I'm sure they send you 3-4 of the best lawyers. ????????????

 

Western embassies don't give a phat patooty about their constituents unless it's something really serious.  For a fine, and lockup of non-payment of that fine, they might send you the phone numbers of some lawyers.  As in: you call them, you pay them.

If they really had that much merchandise to sell, they could have afforded to pay the fine themselves.

How can you be so sure about that? 
 

No, you are wrong. 

No, I am not wrong.  I only filled in the initial of my last name.  There are no photos of me on my Facebook page.  Or any other personal information. 

I use my Facebook account info to sign into messenger.  So once again, no personal info.

How can I be sure?  I just did a Google search on my Facebook account name, nothing (about me) came up.

Facebook and other multinationals endeavour to establish business models specifically for tax avoidance which then have to be expensively challenged in the Courts at taxpayer cost; there are numerous examples where very onerous fines have been applied. There is no equivalency to the general public tax minimisation opportunities which have already been legislated.

 

An example in Australia for legislation to address multinational corporations tax avoidance efforts:

Not sure what this has to do with the topic at hand.  Facebook (and other companies) uses loopholes to minimize their taxes.  Don't like it?  Close those loopholes!  Again, unrelated stuff.

But we are anonymous here. I dont see anyone posting personal details.

 

the difference for fb is that the public may be restricted to see your details and pics, fb isnt. They can use it as they want.

 

thaivisa does not have our personal pics to use.

I have a Facebook account.  But it's a cery barebones account.  I have never entered personal information on it, so Facebook doesn't have it.  You don't want people to see your personal info on Facebook, don't post it.  Your choice.  It really is that simple.
