Well, almost everybody above a certain age in the UK has actually been vaccinated, Einstein, so why would they need to forge a vaccination card?

 

The alternative would have been to deny everybody a 7 day quarantine, since the UK doesn't have vaccine passports yet.

 

Let me guess, you're already in Thailand, and you're enjoying "not having any competition"? Thought so ????

 

 

 

 

You need two injections to be fully vaccinated - and that's the rule to have the full two doses, not just one. So they give you a card after your first one, and then you wait 3 months for the second one.

If Thailand opening to vaccinated tourists is anything more than showing your vaccination card in departures and immigration , then it's not going to be a success is it ? 

Shockingly you can easily pick up these cards and write on them with a PEN you've had the vaccine - date, batch number, etc I'm shocked beyond horror that the embassy in London was accepting THIS as the sole proof to shorten the quarantine to 7 days. 

Beyond a disgrace. 

Will these vaccines be an annual thing? I see many are under the belief that this vaccine is a once (twice actually) in a life thing. 

The India variant is going into the porous border into Myanmar, which is then coming into the porous border into Thailand. 

They simply have to kick him out when he get's better. That's just unbelievable. 

Porous borders from Myanmar - which in turn is porous from India - is causing these outbreaks in SE Asia. 

The porous borders from Mynanmar aren't controlled. 

Singapore and Hong Kong are very lucky they are islands. 

These new variants in Thailand are coming from India - which up till last month was open to the world.

My understanding is that Farangs who test positive during quarantine are hospitalized in a real hospital, symptoms or not.

That's because you come armed with 100,000 USD insurance document. Now do make sure that insurance document is valid, and you've declared all pre exisiting conditions (some policies don't make this obvious), otherwise you'll get a nasty bill.

You can bet there will be many debates here as to whether this a lockdown or not.

 

The LockDown Purists will claim it’s not a lockdown unless people are forbidden to leave their homes, like in Wuhan.

 

Some will claim any set of restrictions is a lockdown.

Others will say that a lockdown is defined by barriers to interprovincial travel. 
 

Lots of shades of grey here.

My point is why would anyone travel to a place that is basically all that is good about is closed?

Once I am fully vaccinated next month I plan to travel. I will come to Thailand come November provided it is relatively hassle free to do so. Happy to comply with airport rapid testing and an app for contact tracing, beyond that would be too much and I would just go somewhere else with a warm climate.

They are in a lockdown, with everything except malls open (and even they are a shadow of themselves with all food restaurants closed for sit in) and alot of shops closed down. Bars, nightlife, massage, parks, travel between provinces is non existent. 

At the start of the year Singapore was doing awful, with huge numbers amongst their migrant workers. The turn around has been remarkable. 

Just going through my instagram there are so many Thai ladies of the night in Dubai at the moment. 

Is he the one who said foreigners don't use bum guns to clean their asses and are dirty?

Was he the one who said westerners don't use bum guns and use toilet paper instead and thus being dirty - or something to that effect?

What about mutations? 

There's nothing more depressing than seeing Australians whinging.

The same Australia that has zero covid, not faced the horrors we have witnessed in Europe and Americas - absolute horrific horrors . Yet there they are open and roaming around a normal society - but still whinging.

I am unaware of any documented cases of a vaccinated individual infecting someone else.

You have been checking every case have you? The data coming from the UK is just a lie?

But my country doesn't have the virus so where am I catching it before arriving in Thailand?

 

Airport. 

Friend just arrived the other day for 7 days. 

The only evidence he had to show he had the vaccine was his little card they gave him when he had the vaccine. Your name is written on manually with the date, batch number and what vaccine. He picked up one of these cards himself, and could have written anything on it himself. 

TOTAL DISGRACE and open to manipulation. Relieved they put an end to this, but if they are this slack with what evidence they require then they shouldn't do it. 

Now vaccines are on the way appoint yourself in charge ! lol 

The cops could make a killing fining foreigners on Sukhumvit (around Asok, Nana, Ekkami) not wearing masks. 

Richard Barrow will be excited i suspect.

If they closed completely with no online provision of classes I think you'd be able to sue for a refund.  But most international schools have the resources to provide online classes during a lockdown.

I've experienced online learning in the UK. It's utter nonsense. Schooling is alot more than just lessons - it's being with your friends, activities, social learning skills, etc

I would have cut my finger off if i had to pay 200,000 for someone to do lessons on a laptop remotely. I could actually get a private teacher one on one for that much ! 

I was all set to enrol my children into one of these international schools.

Lucky escape - would have been money down the drain. I did ask them what would be the protocols if the schools had to close - no refund. That's a crazy lottery i wasn't prepared to risk.
