Well, duck it is then.  Quack.  ????

I wonder who was with her. 

Surely no one, male or female, hikes into unfamiliar hills on their own, even in their home country.  Way too much can go wrong even without something like this; snakes, falls, taken ill, even a bad sprain or turning an ankle, can put you in danger.  About the first thing you learn about hill walking is; don't be alone.  A Swiss would have known this.

Same same, September 23 for #2 AZ...

September 16 for me.  I'll be happier when I hear that people in this program start getting their second doses.

Why not setting chartered airplanes instead of a bus?

 

Faster, safer, cheaper and more comfortable than a 16 hours 1500 bahts travel to Bangkok.

 

Bus; get on, sit, go.

Plane; there's all that airport business, at both ends.  Far higher chance of catching or transmitting the virus.

I've seen this too, thankfully not for anything urgent.

Chrome, yes, there's an issue there.  I often get a "suspicious activity" warning and have to slide a bar to continue.  The "code" bit, yes, every month or so. 

Whether all this is Chrome or my ISP (TOT) I don't know though; I also had a problem on an IRC chat channel and that isn't on Chrome at all.

Pattaya, registered 2nd, still waiting.

What risk? It's a certainty at the moment!

At the moment yes, but it wasn't when they booked.  They were promised some openness that they haven't had.  TAT always misses that tourists don't book today and arrive tomorrow, most book months in advance and expect things to be as they were when they booked.

Though why anyone in their right mind would leave their home country for a holiday at the moment beats me.  Way too much changes too fast to have a reasonable chance of things going as you expect.

So, they booked weeks ago with certain expectations, but the rules have changed, and they're not allowed to do those things now.

That'll play well when they get interviewed after they get home.

Anyone who books any holiday abroad at the moment is, IMO, asking for whatever happens to them.

Al least those who are using this as a way back in will get what they want.

Any updates on this one?

I have tried numerous times since the 1st without success!! I get the same message : email address is invalid!!

I have registered with a private hospital and see what that brings??

 

If your computer completes the email address for you, make sure that there are no spaces before or after.  I've been caught out by that one before now.  

I doubt this one, the government still controls the army, hard to do much against that.

I actually don't have much of an issue with this government.  OK, not ordering vaccines early enough was a big error, but before Covid things seemed to be working well. 

The continual exaggerated claims are just to keep us amused; nobody takes them seriously.  ????

Server problems again.

Still nothing here.

When 70+% of the adult population is vaccinated and the country opens up again, that'll be normal.  Not the normal we had before, but the normal we'll learn to love.

So, any anti's reading, get with the program, you are helping to delay things.  You, not the rest of us.

I wouldn't really put much faith in their knowledge of how to use a DBMS and detecting pervious vaccinations... Example: The Online 90 Day Reporting system thinks many of us are on overstay including myself.

 

Two different systems yes I know, but pulling employee talent from the same "gene pool"...

Yes, well, I may have accidentally filled in this new one.  I'm getting older, my memory isn't what it was.  ????

57k could be hotel costs alone.  Is there anything for them to spend money on when they leave the hotel?

I've had my first - got through on the original intervac site - so I can't use this.  What I would like is to be able to see the appointment for my second online somewhere, then I would be happier that it's actually going to happen.

Mine faces Southish, I'd prefer West as I like sunsets.  Heat?  TIT, so it's hot, comes with the country.

Just paint a target on them why don't you.

There is deliberate fake news out there.  Some people just like to cause trouble for the sake of causing trouble. 

However, I think that most is simply confusion; the "gospel from on high" changes so often that keeping up with it would be a full time job, what was true last week is fake news this week and vice-versa.

With so many fantastic centres of excellence and expert professors it bewilders me why Thailand has to buy vaccines from China when it's obviously so well positioned to design and manufacture it's own supply.

 

Because they've been told to.

I was speaking to an English farrang the other day who goes to these places - and there are many.  He was saying that he just can't stay in his condo all the time and what else is there to do?  Me, I like my condo, I spent a little more for a place I was happy in and, with food deliveries, UK TV, internet, and a Kindle, I'm happy enough. 

I do miss the bars and the "interaction" of course, but I want to be alive and healthy enough to go to them when they eventually re-open.  Whether I'll still be young enough is another question.  ????

Hands up those who thought the SandBox would work.

I'm happy that my condo does this. I don't want random people wandering around it.  Thai or farrang.

The Britain I grew up in is not there now.  I won't end my days in what's there now.  Here I sit and here I stay.  At least here I'm treated like a foreigner for good reason.
