Yes, ideed! I went along at 8.30 this morning. Was directed to gates 2 to 4 (for foreigners over 60).
Each gate had crowds just like this. Maybe 7,000 - 8,000 people waiting in line, and I was to only farang in site!
Decided that I had a far greater chance of contracting the virus than of getting the vaccine, so returned home.

Cost of living comparison between UK & Thailand
in Home Country Forum
Posted · Edited by Thomas Lyall
Trevor - very interesting! I did a similar "comparison" a few years ago, as I have homes in both Bangkok and London. Living solely on my UK pension, I worked out that I'd be in deficit by £280 per month living permanently in the UK, and have a spare £560 per month by living in Thailand. Of course, no NHS in Thailand, but by putting away some of that 'excess' money most situations are covered. Also, the NHS is so over-stretched nowadays, you have to wait months for any kind of non emergency treatment.
