  1. The only real source you can trust is the Govt Gazette. If its not in there don't believe what you hear .
  2. That is correct. Vaccines do not stop you getting Covid but they reduce the severity of the infection.
  3. When l was working, l used to be in the Social security system but as soon as l stopped work l was given 6 months extension and then you can get no coverage from S S. l even tried to get on the B400 a month scheme that SS has but this is only for Thais.
  4. This whole vaccine roll out debacle just shows you how useless this Govt. really is. Tests in China proved that one shot of Sinovac was less that 25% effective against Delta, but the Govt kept buying it and using it at a higher cost than many other vaccines. Now those that had two shots of Sinovac need a third shot.!!!!!! The Govt knew about this problem 4-5 months ago but they still kept buying it and using it. Moderna is another debacle. Many people paid for this 3 months ago and it still isn't here. So Pinnochio and his puppets really need a reality check.
  5. Chinese tourists do little for Thailand. They spend little money, prepay airlines, buses, hotels restaurants etc etc so the money stays in China. On the rare occasion you see them out, you simply get pushed out of the way.
  6. Smoking worries me more than alcohol. Tons of people are walking around with masks up blowing smoke everywhere. Surely this must spread disease? People just drinking don't blow fumes around.
  7. Yaaaaay. That will put an end to the thousands of Chinese buses on the roads as well as tens of thousands of flag bearing peasants ????
  8. Curfew ????? What Curfew???? Check out Thepprasit Soi 8 after curfew begins. Its nothing more than a race track for extremely noisy, high speed motorbikes from when curfew starts until about 1 am. Even with my double glazed windows l still get woken up. We have never seen a useless cop in the area since curfew started and very rarely during daylight. just about as bad as the wild west, or should l say east ??
  9. And to top everything off The World Bank and BOT say GDP will only increase about 1 to 1.5% next year but this lying Govt say 5%. l know who l believe. !!!!!!!
  10. Why does this Govt have to accept vaccine donations?????? Don't they have enough money to buy the shots themselves or are they waiting for the new tourist tax to fill there coffers.???? and then buy. This country survives on greed alone.
  11. Yutthasak has been spreading fake news about this for months. Should be arrested for spreading fake news.
  12. If Phuket can serve alcohol in restaurants, why can't the rest of tourist places. The Phuket Sandpit has been a WOFTAM and other tourist places have suffered more because of the special deal in Phuket.
  13. While l sympathize with the workers if they are being wronged, they must remember they are lucky to have a job. Millions have lost their employment.
  14. The Govt/Police said a few days ago that phone companies must delete unsolicited messages such as this. Just saw a pig fly past !!!!!
  15. Tipping is not mandatory but hard working Thais appreciate a small tip. 15 to 20 baht seems to be the norm depending on the size of the bill. Be careful though. Some bigger places add service charge and VAT on top of the bill. That's where it has ++ on the menu. l never use those places as l don't believe the staff get the service charge. However l did get caught Saturday. Went to Witherspoon's on Bua Khao. Got charged 7% VAT on my bill. No mention of it on the small menu l saw. l believe the establishments are meant to show extra charges clearly. Simple answer. l won't go back.
  16. And some provinces are pushing for 1st Oct, or 1st Nov opening. More conflicting bull dust. And what tourists want to come here with all of these conflicting stories floating about. ??????? One hand doesn't know what the other is doing.
  17. Not many of my Thai friends in Pattaya have had there first jab yet let alone two. Those that have had a jab are only getting Sinovac which by independent Chinese testing is only 23% effective against Delta. After a second jab of AZ immunity does improve to around 70%, so do you think tourists would risk coming here.? They need full 70-80% herd immunity first, then consider opening up. l think 1st November is more realistic. And remember even after a second jab it takes several weeks to give you good immunity.
  18. In previous posts it says that he was in the Social Security system. When his business closed he would have been given 6 months cover under the SS system, then you are on your own. Thai's can pay B400/month and remain in the system but foreigners can't. This is another failing of Govt policy. l have been though this myself, and at my age l can't get private medical insurance. At his age though he should have a private medical policy. Basically this is a case of extortion. l have just been through the same with another Govt entity. Pay this bill even though it is wrong or else.
