Very nice of you!

Mostly.

One landlord charged for the battery in the air conditioner remote after 5 years as a tenant.

A lot of nickel and diming.

I wouldn't want to talk with my family anymore if I was this poor guy.

Normal parents would send him to do a quick test and welcome him home. But yeah no wonders after all the brainwashing from TV.

Normal people should quarantine after coming from a red zone.  Not just assume there COVID-19 free and risk infecting others. 

Unfortunately this is playing out in Thailand creating uncontrollable cluster <deleted>** of the virus.

Still a long way to 120,000; however, still almost three months to go, so lots can happen.

Like a total lockdown.  

Getting a test here in Sakon Nakhon is very difficult. 

We had our first COVID-19 case in our village after days of the people demand that this couple from Bangkok be tested.  They've been partying and visiting relatives here before the girl tested positive.

The price for a test can be 3000 baht.  Everything here is for profit.

I hate that guy!

Its usually a flat 300 baht for the month.  You can request them to prorate it but if they don't I wouldn't make a fuss.

250 baht for electric.  Are you using candles for light?

Isn't already there?

I wish them well and must presume they have a good deal on rent. RGP is as dead as a doornail now and the last couple of times I have passed through there big names like Svennsons had mothballed the business for lack of customers. They might tick over at weekends when Pattaya gets visitors from other provinces.

Its been pretty slow there years before the pandemic.

Its pretty dated.

Samitivej refuses to take a booking without a 13 digit social security number.

Don't bother if its Sinovac.

Astra Zeneca not much better since you probably won't get the second jab.

"He said they can not do swab tests on all the dead victims because they could not ask for a refund of their costs from victims who died before their arrival at the hospital."  Yet again the Thainess of money shines through in which case we will NEVER know the true amount of deaths,  but hey we get subs, tanks, and more new Wat buildings.

One Sub would be enough to vaccinate everyone in Thailand plus boosters 6 months later.

There would still be plenty left over for raises for fireman and front line doctors and nurses.

I think thats what people have been thinking all along.

Its difficult to gauge anything with Anutin in charge of the Ministry of Health.  He's building engineer not a doctor despite playing one in real life.

If you zoom in, you will see that the legs are full of hair, could it be time for a visit to the  Opthalmologist's office, preferably a female one ? 

I think he meant the one with the green sign.  I hope so anyway.

Report from a forensic doctor who carries out autopsies reveals the real covid death numbers are much higher.

 

On July 6, Dr. Smith Srison, Forensic Medicine, Ramathibodi Hospital Mahidol University posted a message on Facebook about the situation of the Covid- 19 epidemic in Thailand, that may be more severe than the numbers released by the government. From the autopsy of the deceased in just one day, four people were found to be infected with covid. 

 

This happens each day, they come mainly from the slum communities and die at home.

 

The conclusion is to say the situation is very serious. The patients and deaths seen here are definitely not real numbers. There are much more than that There are a lot of people who don't swab to check (now in Rama, if they come to swab, I see queues to sit and wait since 10 PM to check in the morning). As for the dead, there are more people. Because there are many cases that do not have a swab, some forensic doctors can't swab all of them.

I agree. Im sure they haven't included two cases in our little village in Sakon Nakhon.  The village is freaking out. 

Hygiene isn't really recognized here in these Issan backwater villages unfortunately.

And they have a convicted heroin dealer in the cabinet.  All those generals gushing about him.

Makes me want to throw up.

Australia will not get any Pfizer vaccine until at least October, so Thailand has got no chance of seeing any before that if they order it now.

Thats sad.

Hopefully they actually purchase enough for their countryman and not just for the elite few like Thailand.

This would be news when the procur 90 million doses.

Never enough to make a difference.  As long as there is unvaccinated people theres a place for the virus to mutate.

After the report of the leaked document about the low effectiveness of Sinovac the idiots go and buy 10.1 million more doses.

Its like those people who keep buying the overpriced 98,000 baht lightposts.

The corruption never stops.

My Australian government announced in May this year that it had donated 68 Million baht for "Thailand's vaccine efforts". Would be interesting where international aid money sent to Thailand for COVID is being spent.  I hope it has been put to proper use.
