after borrowing from bhutan same scenario might be here. "Provide" is the clue word

I registered wednesday early morning. thursday 6pm got sms with an appointment friday 10am. you can try to go morning, they open 9am central festival 6th floor. They will give you slot in few hours (somebody reported that a week ago, I was also keen to do so, if no booking)

what is your obsession with covid, daily posting links without text and discussing it? that is not purpose of discussion forum. spam

if november, and not now, within the next 2 weeks, you will have plenty time at asq to play with plans and air bookings. Nobody has any idea, how situation will be in over 2 months. Looks like situation is progressing. in your place I would book sandbox and not asq. That is much more expensive and is waste of time (unless you really need 2 weeks in complete isolation). Sandbox you can treat as holiday, do whatever you like. Phuket sandbox hotels from around 8k, 3 tests 8k. There would be many more flights if demand rises, they run at 5% capacity now. Airlines timetable changes monthly

just walk in, maybe you will get. If fail - get to bangkok hospital pattaya. Registration and after several days pfizer. For over 40 or with conditions, visa doesn't matter, you can well be illegal

"Koh Man Nork" that's a private island. Never heard about it before. Interesting, to whom it belongs. There is only 1 resort, withe the cheapest option is 10k per night

so 4 policemen travelled from far away provinces to bangkok press conference to talk about some stupid cases. Those 2 cases shows how poor work they were doing for so many years. Cameroonian woman and indian man are very easily identified in the community, because they don't look ethnic thai and don't speak lingo. They were not Lao, Cambodia or Myanmar citizens speaking perfect thai, because they originated from the border areas where listened daily to thai FM radio, played songs and watched TV soap movies. Finding a man with a search warrant for common crimes, not related to visa, is not job of immigration. They should share all info with the local cops, who would find him fast, without multiple failings.

yes, it's all about money - corruption is being pointed yesterday and today at censure debate. Already in January Thanathorn was pointing at it - charged with multiple counts lese majeste

the GPO has waited 3 months to sign this contract. The first talk with moderna was just after songkran, contract signed end of July. same story will be with pfizer

physiotherapy, they will also teach you exercises. if not good enough, doctors

I don't know but I would think no rules. Book for the next day. But to play safe, book after already leaving asq

i have registered the last wednesday at BHP, on thursday evening I had an sms, on friday morning pfizer. try to register. if not, just walk in - they will give you booking in a few hours (done the last week by some member, I really wanted do the same, if my booking not arrived). They shot at central festival, 6th floor

I think THG has the smallest chance of getting moderna because of spat with the government, over claims, that their 20mln talks with moderna were torpedoed. For the 2021 they took deposit 2400, while the other hospitals took full payment 3400b. for the 2022 they took only 1700, while the other hospitals 3300. I would not be surprised if they are aware of those chances and just wanted to borrow free money for several months. 400k patients x 2400b = 960 000 000 (over $30mln) free loan. Some people would never claim their 2400b (died, forgot, don't care about getting into spat and wasting their time for multiple emails). Some other private hospital (that one is actually already actively involved in vax program, including pfizer and sinopharm) will be taking claims for money back in june and july 2022 (after 11 months after payment)

thonburi hospital has on it's fb page on 25.8 a graph in thai with relation to moderna. it says, that after 2 sinopharm, moderna booster can be given a month after. That is purely theoretical, as they don't have moderna for many months. And by then recommendations might be different. You should ask at the hospital you got your sinopharm if you are entitled to a booster at all (at this stage), as many people did no have any vax yet due to shortages. You can pretend that you never had any and register with expatvac and bangkok hospital pattaya for pfizer. They are now liberal with distribution for over 40. You can take, even 2 shots. Looks, like they are not communicating with the other hospitals and there are no central registration system.

somebody mentioned the last week, that he got pfizer in pattaya at BHP as walk in - went in the morning and got appointment for a shot in the afternoon. That's what I wanted to do myself, if my booking did not come (I have received my booking just 16h prior). another person had astra a month ago and booked expatvax in medpark in bangkok, and at an appointment explaining, that he intends to travel shortly and his second astro coming in 2 months. He was accepted, but he wan't have final certificate, as az-pfizer were done at different hospitals. probably you will have to pretend not been vaxed yet, if all legit attempts fail. probably it will be only sinovac or astra, as pfizer is ending (now being available for over 40, with a waiting time a few days). there would be yet another 1mln of the USA donated pfizer coming shortly, but probably not to foreigners anymore - rather army, police, civil servants will get 3rd. for private moderna for the next year 2nd generation bookings closed around 25.8. But people will be trying to sell their own moderna booked for this year. Transfer not available yet, until appointment time, when vax is already in the country. Might be from Oct, but limited quantity. Only 4mln (out of 9.3mln booked will be available)

thai women would rather not walk on the beach after dark. So the dark past will linger on that place for long. Still a lot of prostitution, and former prostitutes. With it comes drug abuse. The last year, around september, some spanish tourist was assaulted by a motorbike taxi driver in an unprovoked attack. Those old habits die hard

doesn't look as she cared while her boyfriend was being heavily beaten

if prioritised by payment order they should this data immediately. this same hospital group says, that moderna booster should be given 1 month after the last sinovac or sinopharm. By the time it arrives at the end of this year, might be wise to take 2 shots. Or share your with somebody else and buy yet another one for the next year, which suppose to be the 2nd generation. THG, as well as the other private hospitals, did already got bookings for that one

flu jabs are recommended in May, at the beginning of the rainy season. Looks, like winter months are safer than getting wet and cold and getting into air con rooms because of high humidity. Winter humidity is lower

as a policeman he had a choice of tests - booze or drugs. in his case it's aggravated offence, near the limit. Clearly he was already drunk, it's a very individual condition.

over 40 are already being jabbed in pattaya from the beginning of the last week (registration with BHP, given at central festival) and in bangkok from the last saturday at medpark (that one from expatvax). I have received 2 appointment dates from expatvax, after a glitch in their program forced me to register with yet another email address. Some people had to try multiple email addresses, so most probably they also will be getting multiple appointments. I have declined AZ at bang sue arranged by the BCC, because the second dose is in 12 weeks. I did my pfizer in pattaya, the second jab 17.9. Those pfizer donated from the USA are expiring once, that's probably the reason they were donated

Delay travel as long as possible. There would be gradual improvement, as more people around the world are vaxed. Get fully vaxed with whatever possible, try to get a booster. In the usa you can also get a booster. They will be counting them on borders. thai wont abandon sandbox, they would be moving goalposts, as they did already, to keep it. nobody knows how would be in january, i would not plan yet anything. Tickets can be bought just a few days in advance. Open one or even 2 singles

In our household 3 vaxed, the forth doesnt want to go out, sits home taking care of a small baby. for my shot on friday I had to travel to pattaya, although on the very same day I had chance in bang sue, but with az.

booster with moderna in october would be too fast. If you need booster just for travel, do it several just several weeks before journey. Boosters are talked now after 6 or 8 months, that for an average person, normal risk. For medics only on 2 sinovac, they did pfizer asap. it will be changing all the time, nothing certain. That includes availability of moderna this year. Less than half (some 4mln from 9.3mln payed for) will be coming. And some of them might be only beginning of the next year

ok, open boxing, football stadiums to bring italian bug from high flyers. allow myanmar workers in without proper quarantine to opening sandboxes, because infection rate there is only 3x that in thailand. create Thonglor 2 cluster from weekend casino trips across border to poipet and local casinos, night clubs. You will have the already existing 4th wave boosted by the 5th one.
