People who retire in Thailand - Whats your plan?
VocalNeal replied to Leveraged's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Retired people here have a plan????? I just ended up here and now I don't have a job to do. That wasn't really a plan more a happenstance. I missed the Indonesian train and the next one that came was going to Thailand. (Ref. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120148/ ) -

Doesn't bode very well for me then. I get jabbed today. -
I think I know why Pfizer became available for foreigners
VocalNeal replied to BestB's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
So it makes sense to use up the supply now. -
Anybody had a confirmed appointment with Expatvac?
VocalNeal replied to giddyup's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
No. If given a choice I would go for AZ first. Because I read that AZ>Phizer gives better protection than Phizer>AZ. What is missing from my logic is AZ>AZ or Phizer>Phizer I will have to have a look But they are using different science to achieve the same thing. I don't think I will be given a choice though. -

Interesting. Based on my limited knowledge I would take AZ if my second could be Phizer. -
Don't tell everyone. It is nice and quiet here.

This like 98.8% of problems expats have driving in Thailand, expectation. Drop all you imported expectations and life/driving will be fine. As for zebra crossings, I believe the instructions from my youth said step onto the crossing and wait for the traffic to stop before crossing. This is also dangerous here. The first car that stops is driven by an expat/tourist, following cars may not.

VocalNeal replied to giddyup's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Of course not. If you registered and are on the list you are OK. But you need to heed every phone call you get especially ones from unknow numbers. I missed my call and am only going tomorrow because I was in a restaurant with a guy when he got his call and I asked for the number. The next day I realized i had missed a call from that number late the previous day. My wife eventually called the local health authority, said I had missed a call and she was told send him on 25th. -

Yes. Going tomorrow. It may depend on your age and where you live. Patience? -
Pfizer vaccine gets full FDA Approval in the USA
VocalNeal replied to gk10012001's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Is it coincidental that both the manufacturer and the approval body are both in the USA? AZ not yet approved by USA. ???? -
Leading Thai doctor says the Covid stats can't be trusted
VocalNeal replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
^^ I thought we all knew this . Being vaccinated does not stop a person catching the disease, it simply lessens the symptoms. Even if 100% were vaccinated.... -
Do you object to being asked if you’ve been vaccinated?
VocalNeal replied to Chomper Higgot's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
From what I understand it is like measels/flu etc. eventually we will all get it. Just the severity will vary. The vaccine is not about individual protection it is more about not requiring hospitalization and overloading the medial facilities. If one is vaccinated there is little chance of requiring hospitalization. Similar to be vaccinated against , say, Yellow Fever. -
Identical beers tasting very different
VocalNeal replied to cyril sneer's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
No Fokker comes close? -
How about this one? https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/23/delta-variant-pfizer-covid-vaccine-39percent-effective-in-israel-prevents-severe-illness.html I only posted to highlight the idiocy of picking vaccines like picking cars based on brand. Phizer must be best because... et al. AZ followed by Phizer is supposed to be better than Phizer followed by AZ.

Yes of course. Sit the exam, in English, and take the test. Same as the locals. Except they don't select English. Two different licenses, so two different practical tests. They will have a car you can, "cough", borrow. Which sometimes helps.
