I am in my own place i live here ever thought of that sungod . 

On a non-resident visa. That means you are free to leave at any time, including after you fail to produce vaccination documents for your extension. No rights violated, no problem.

Calm down everyone, no one will be fined for refusing a vaccine. The article says "MAY" be fine. It would be against the constitution to fine people for this. 

No reason to think this is true but that is an issue for the Thais.

There are no rights being violated for falangs because we have no inherrent right to a visa. End of story, deal with it or go elsewhere.

The foreigners want the 'vaccine' (AZ, Pfizer, J&J, Moderna).  Not the 'experimental drug' from China ????

 

When the Sinovac or whichever chinese one is the flavour of the month here is approved by the WHO and other governments, then I'm sure foreigners will reconsider their position.

 

Additionally, getting Sinovac won't meet the requirements of being vaccinated when returning home.  Potentially needing to be vaccinated *again*.

 

 

The Sinovac was developed the traditional way using attenuated viraii. It is the new MRNA vaccines that are new and experimental. These would include the Pfizer and Moderna. The J&J was developed the same way as the Sinovac.

Its a watershed moment for a quasi military dictatorship. Imajine if this was actually a sterilizing population control measure. 

 

It is your choice, get vaccinated or leave. Very easy.

I hope the governor in Chiang Rai does the same thing. I have been trying to register for a while.

Sigh Once again the elephant in the room is being ignored...  there is no vaccine for anyone 12 or under, so they still have to  Quarantine which means their parents are stuck in the hotel as well. so unless they are just hoping for  20 million Mongers visiting the  new family orientated walking street in Pattaya, they are going to be  way too optimistic with their numbers and out of  Luck ???? 

Right after they put bargirls on the priority workers list.

Another premature announcement from TAT. We will see.

If they want to help, maybe they can talk to their foreign friends and get some vaccines sent in.

Yeah, doesn't take a genius to figure that one out about the lack of vaccine. Just as I mentioned above, even if you can get a Sinovac jab, it will take 2-3 more over a period of small time to bring you into the safe zone, and they plainly don't have enough to give people 3-4 jabs. Have to wait until Siam Bioscience comes miraculously to save the day for all the people in the Thai Kingdom. Sort of like Mighty Mouse's song but you can replace the I with a share holders title and name or Big P's.

Citation please. All I am seeing is two and that it is safe and effective. This smacks of Qanonsense and pointless China bashing. I will happily take whatever becomes available first.

I was at the local public hospital a few days ago and they asked me if I wanted to be put on the list. No problem.

Pfizer seems to be better aswell

AZ and Pfizer both work but Pfizer has serious transportation and storage issues. For distribution, the J&J, Sputnik and Sinovac make more sense. Less doses required as well as easy to store and handle.

I will be happy to take it, no problem. We can always pick and choose the second vaccine next year when there are more choices available. Nobody is dying from the shots, just from covid.

Add the testing fee to the plane ticket and nobody will notice or care, problem solved. It is irrelevantly small money. Mai pen rai khup.

Send all of it to Chiang Rai when it gets here, the drought is getting pretty desperate.

Thay mentioned 4000 providers, that is 62 a day to get 250,000 injections. Some of the newly released vaccines only need one shot, like the J&J and the SinoVac so that makes it easier. The newer ones also do not need cryogenic storage, which also makes it much easier for both transportation and waste.

I am looking forward to getting whatever becomes available. I am waiting to hear the rules and fees for the falangs as well.

So, would your rather bubble with a country of 44% vaccinated or 5%. Easy choice really. And currently UK will be vaccinated all by end of year, China is end of next year.

 

Bubbles really make no sense unless you only accept vaccinated people, in which case you may open up to all vaccinated people !

The difference is that China does not have millions of infected people. The UK has millions. Not infectious is not infectious, regardless of how you get there.

Of course they are trying to get the Chinese tourists back, it is 40% of the 2019 tourists and they are close enough that it is not a big planning issue. Who would want the superspreaders from the US or UK?

The vertical larger blue pipes were all glued in place , I was thinking about some sort of filters but generally filters you can unscrew and clean out .

 

 

True, it may just be to collect chunks of fertilizer until it dissolves. You are right, it is not the pro way to build stuff like this but TIT.

Looks  more like a filter set to me, to keep small tubes from clogging. Multiples in parallel would lower the pressure requirements. 

A PET-CT scan? The machines are not common. I would expect an oncology specialty hospital might have one. They are charging 100,000 baht? That sounds pretty high. The only one I had was about 4000 baht in China but no help.

I would be interested to know if you find one, I would like a scan too.

In Chiang Rai they drink Lao and make fun of me for drinking beer.

I came up with a new recipe for this stuff: Lao Manow. 100ml Long Beach Lemon/Lime Syrup, 400ml water and 500ml Lao. It tastes like a Kamikaze shooter and makes the local hootch very palatable.

Balh, blah, blah,blah. The next useless idea from TAT. What is the health ministry saying? They are in control, everything else is just noise.

The shot will not kill you. I would take whatever is available now, and maybe get something else later, just to make sure. 50% today is a better bet than nothing until next year.

Nah, they are just saying that because nobody wants to say they are going to Pattaya. It must be hard to hook up in the UK.

You got it right.  Just came out that Trump has to turn over tax returns to a New York prosecutor:

Well, he's back in the spotlight now.  Just maybe not the way he wants.  

And the Feds, and Congress, even the new Senate. 

No problem, where are the shots? More than happy to get vaccinated with whatever is handy. If something better comes along later I will get that too. I just don't understand all of the complaining. If you feel put upon, go home to the hyper-infected place you came from.

Two phones make the tracking impossible.  Load the tracker on one phone then carry and use another during the visit.

Or load the app and try to help the covid situation. Why does everyone feel so special that they need to be able to spread disease with impunity?

The data comes from bluetooth linking other peoples phones. When you are near the phone of an affected person, it flags you. So you need to be within bluetooth range.
