  2. This one. Along with the requisite loan sharking. Smaller dens are operated as franchisees from the franchise holder: the RTP. Any legalized gambling here will be for foreigners/tourists. Captain Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here! [a croupier hands Renault a pile of money] Croupier: Your winnings, sir. Captain Renault: [sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much.
  3. Based on the fact that purchases via private hospitals required use of the GPO channel (or so we were told by the regime) my guess is that all 1.0 mm of these donated vaccines will go to the TRC, and the 1.4 mm Zulleg/GPO delivery will go to private hospitals. from an article on the attempted Poland Moderna donation to Thammasat kerfuffle from a few weeks ago: According to the ministry, the donated vaccine could not be sold and the hospital did not secure market authorisation from the Moderna producer. For these reasons, the ministry said it could not release the status confirmation letter for the hospital. My Moderna PoS is up to queue number 16,000, adding 3,000 every two days.
  4. What were your previous shots? When? Please report back after your "booster".
  5. BP articles verboten here. Odd that the government is STILL anti-private option? Not sure if this part of the continuing vendetta/family feud, or an indication that paid private vaccines will be severely restricted? One assumes that the minister will reimburse all people who ditch their Moderna? The "government" has "ordered" some 8.6 mm doses of Moderna.
  6. The Company will gradually import the first lot of 1.4 million doses from the United States around the end of November to the beginning of December before delivering to the Government Pharmaceutical Organization (GPO) and the Private Hospital Association to complete the bookings of 1.9 million doses within the end of the year. These complement the ~ 560,000 previously delivered, and were said to arrive on/before the end of this month. Good news, hopefully there's enough for those who prepaid? My PoS for Moderna is up to 9,000 (people), with an update due today. Assume the TRC is taking some (23%?) of these though? Another ~ 6 mm on firm order for Q12022 delivery.
  7. Sonthiya Sawasdee, a former advisor to the parliamentary committee on law, justice and human rights, threatened to take a legal action against Miss Universe Thailand Yes, the complainant is a man. Usually found in a police station filing a complaint against anyone not suitably yellow enough. Many thais, save the minions and dinosaurs think this guy is a straight-up buffalo. The target of his complaint is a woman. Not overly complicated.
  8. In the U.S., the boosters from Pfizer and J&J are the same formulation and dosage as the initial vaccines, but Moderna’s booster is half the dose β€” 50 micrograms β€” of the first two shots.
  9. As of yesterday ~ 47 mm people have at least one shot, so they are not refusing the vaccine. 39.4 mm have had two doses and 3 mm have had three doses. I've been a harsh critic of the vaccination efforts here forever, but I've come around and have to say they've made an impressive recovery. Keep pushing, get those second doses in, push the boosters where necessary (sino-vac/pharm). They know who has and hasn't been vaccinated. Get the 1 mm health volunteers incentivized (cash money, but these sorts of plans usually are corrupted though) to get the unvaxxed vaxxed. Offer direct subsidies (yes, subject to corruption) to citizens, foreigners and migrant workers to get vaxxed. Get migrant workers vaccinated - this will be challenging for the illegals. Come up with an adolescent/pediatric solution. It's going to require dedication and focus, which are usually not practiced here on any issue save not letting the proles have a representative legal system or government, for the long term.
  10. https://aseannow.com/topic/1240559-cabinet-endorses-order-for-30-million-doses-of-pfizer-vaccine/ with an option to change the product to a pediatric version for use in younger children. Combining with the current supply agreement for 30 million doses this year
  11. This is good news. Hopefully some of these will be offered as boosters for those previously vaccinated with 2x Pfizer.
  12. I assume these sorts of press accounts are meant for the thai public which remains concerned about foreigners bringing in COVID-19? The current screening process seems sufficient. That said, there was a patient zero for Alpha and Delta here. Follow protocols, continue the vaccination/booster efforts and hope for the best. And an amulet or three wouldn't hurt. I don't follow the situation closely but the surge in Europe seems concerning. Not sure if this is a precursor for other regions?
  13. More like 700,000 - 800,000 baht. And probably not a model which is available here? I thought that I read one article which mentioned this person was from Belgium, and just visiting Thailand. Hopefully the high-value tourists, being lured to thailand, are made aware of this. Might backfire if they get shaken down at the airport?
  14. Agreed, but somehow I doubt that this photo-shoot composition was her idea. Heck, it was probably photoshopped. Hopefully that tattoo isn't "incendiary".
  15. https://www.sme.go.th/upload/mod_download/download-20201012111719.pdf https://www.sme.go.th/upload/mod_download/download-20201012114016.pdf
  16. Still waiting on the 1.0 mm Pfizer? https://aseannow.com/topic/1232788-health-minister-denies-thailand-rejected-1m-dose-pfizer-vaccine-donation-offered-by-us/
  17. That may be old news. AFAIK boosters are recommended (in the U.S.) for all 18+ at 6 months. Think this was approved/announced last Friday. The question for the OP and others 2x vaxxed with Pfizer here: where, when and how can I get a Pfizer booster at/around + 6 months. The government has said they ordered 20 mm doses of Pfizer, but have variously mentioned amounts up to 32.5 million (an earlier 10 mm does order and 2.5 mm in donations). They've also mentioned plans for 30 mm Pfizer in 2022. Hopefully private hospitals will be freed to order, import and administer vaccines in the future. For the OP, I would suggest contacting the place where you received the Pfizer.
  18. And yet ~ 400,000 foreign migrant workers are desperately needed, and scheduled to be imported before the end of the year. Previously, Labor Minister Suchart Chomklin had reported on a survey by the Thai Chamber of Commerce regarding the need for foreign workers as Thailand recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic. β€œThe survey results on demand for foreign workers exceeded 400,000 positions,” the Ministry of Labor said in a news release on Wednesday. So there are jobs, maybe ~ 1.5 million, but...
  19. Most of the ThaiPass/$50k policies I've reviewed, including the ones which say "New, improved with Asymptomatic Coverage", do not in fact cover forced detention, with no symptoms. They cover "medically necessary treatments". Richard Barrow quoted a friend of a friend who says he was detained because he shared transport from the airport to the hotel with a person who subsequently tested positive. Cost was quoted as 112,000 baht, I think and was claimed to have been covered by insurance. The regime needs to clarify this ASAP. Just indemnify all ThaiPass arrivals and be done with it. I guess I would buy up for solo transport.
  20. Can anyone find the "law" which dictates the mask mandate and associated penalties? The Communicable Disease Act (2558) was modified (June 2564) to mention masks, but seemed to tie that to provinces, and local determination. It says something like: people should wear a face mask when leaving their home, the penalty for not wearing a mask can result in up to 20,000 Baht fine AFAIK, the BMA has mandated masks. AFAIK, there is no law or statute. The regime should clarify this matter, and publicize it for everyone, including citizens, migrant workers and tourists. I expect most tourists think that if there is a mask requirement it does not apply to them.
  21. https://vaccine.trueid.net/?fbclid=IwAR0tRqbn-ZYZ4TZE2pQGGCY0n95FIQR_3WW-JIvZM2a2Lnw7zsUXO2BHFN8 This one allows you to register with any mobile provider's number: https://covid19vaccine.ntplc.co.th/CVC/info?lang=en
  22. Easier to mandate a percentage of current spectrum owned by AIS and TrueMove/DTAC, be reserved for MVNOs and low prices, at least for a five-ten year period. And that MVNOs are incentivized to gain some traction. A third (assuming this merger goes forward) provider will not be able to get off the ground, IMO. CAPEX is massive. Some background, https://www.yozzo.com/insights/looking-to-launch-a-mvno-in-thailand-heres-some-useful-information/ MVNO's had some early success, but for a variety of reasons have not fared well in the past few years. The government made a ton of money auctioning spectrum at quite high prices, and service providers had to borrow heavily to secure the spectrum. DTAC Corporate may also be constrained from operating in countries where they may be asked to cooperate with the government to monitor protesters? DTAC had to leave Myanmar for this reason.
  23. Some of these massive busts get limited publicity. Even more so when the drugs are mysteriously "lost". See 11.4 tonnes of ketamine in Chachaengsao.
