I'll never get an mRNA or DNA vaccine but been reading some interesting stuff about effectiveness of microdosing. Of course, these companies hate this talk as it cuts profits by huge amounts.

the website would no longer be accepting registrations and instead foreigners could register with one of two hospitals in Bangkok, or with their local health authority

Hospitals, authorities unnamed.

More hopium.

I wonder if he / they actually have covid or they aquired and were rather carriers of the virus in/on their persons. Then... running that PCR gadget at 50 cycles...boom Covid you lose.

If anything like this where to have occurred you know that this would never get out into the public that would be absolutely devastating.

The person was vaccinated and did have a negative test prior to bboarding.

Given this outcome and force jailing of individuals I think it's entirely disingenuous that Thailand invites tourists to holiday here. This is also not to mention that we will hit 10,000 cases in a day within the next day or two and then on to 15,000 eh?

So you're saying that tourism forever will be changed? For 5 years, 10 years, 100 years? Forever is a long time. It will probably be 2-3 years before this pandemic is forgotten and all restrictions go away, and the mass tourism will again start to destroy the country.

I doubt this entirely. Three years Thailand will still be suffering the direct pain. 

International tourism for many reasons will die.

What a laff. Thailand still fancies itself in the same league as New Zealand. Covid numbers approaching 10k a day. Hospitals at breaking point. Sinovac a fail with more Sinovac as the continuing answer for Thailand WHEN it arrives. JP Morgan politely refers to it as a failed state.

TV really needs to stop posting this rubbish. When will this happen in reality? No, really...2023 or 24.

Is it true that Thais returning on planes are not required a PCR test prior to arrival....surely this is not correct.

Well you would hope that even if the national is ill with covid that they would accept them into the country.

What isn't at all right is encouraging them to get on the plane in the first place.

Really have to gloat. I knew this would happen.

Hospitalized at their expense with only the hope of insurance picking the costs up no doubt it will be a reimbursable situation. I wonder whether they will walk them to the ATM in Handcuff so they can make massive withdrawals and pay the bill.

How's that sandbox thing promo going now Phuket?

Phuket comedy gold that keeps on giving

Amazing Thailand

Does anyone have contacts for Sirinkarinwirot or Thammasat? Do you know if they will hire teachers over 60?

ABAC / Bangkok University??

I halted my interview process at Chula a few years back because I had to take a trip back to United States. Chula disallows new teachers from leaving 4 months after being hired so that was a done deal and I can't go back.

Thanks

German? Swiss??

What changes the type of sausage?

Swiss - different sauce on the same pork cutlet every day.

Italian, now there's food!

The best is the lasik eye clinic not Rutin. Forget the name but I'm sure someone will come along with it shortly. Not cheap.

120k??? Forget

Really surprised they're not meeting in secret making mischief. Long overdue expect patience and finances are about finished.

Pretty obvious not getting your deposit back lol

He's looking for good press here but imo it looks so bad on about a dozen levels. Major optics fail as usual.

Well, if he gets covid we'll know injections weren't Astra zenica - yikes!

In my estimation the worse thing you can do is have her let Immigration know that she is coming to the US to be with a boyfriend. That is a dead give away red flag

Yup.

No chance. All the stuff in your op is meaningless.

Best she apply with a male Thai friend for a covid vax + tour.

The app is in English, about 25 webpages deep. She must show at the embassy. B5000 gambit.

Sort of stupid donation. It's all going to the autocrats and their families. Figure USAID been doing this long enough to know that.

The lack of general education, financial understanding mixed with draconian lending laws makes Thailand an absolutely toxic place for the ignorant and ill informed. Young people, impulse buying become shackled to debt. The whole predatory lending system should be scorned by world media.

Some billionaire could do huge amounts of good by starting a debt assistance program complete with basic education in finance and planning.

Guys got balls. Good for him. Shoot him in the leg and call it even. I hate cheats and freeloaders.

Deaths from any variant in UK are right down - infections are running at 25000 per day.

That's just an outright falsehood of epic proportions.

So a denier of Covid you are, and believe that those that die would have died anyway, is that your point?

My point is at some point you need to get on with it. Two vaccines is plenty good insurance you will not die nor even need hospitalization.

The only thing really holding me back from being out and about is that if infected I am sentenced to hospital jail and insult to injury must pay 200-800k.

If this mess goes on for a year longer with no end game we will make plans to leave.
