Apologies, I'm missing something here; if it is obvious from the packaging that the delivery isn't what you ordered, why pay?  Just reject it.

I should think so,  the Idea should be scraped for ever,  the 22.5 billion Baht would & should be better spent feeding the poor.... 

Draft the poor, then they get fed.  

I was going to put a smilie to show that this was a joke, but is it really such a bad idea?

No nationalities mentioned, couldn't they find a foreigner to blame this on?

Here's a "what if".

What if AZ says; "this isn't ethical and we won't do it", shuts up shop and locks the doors?

If AZ don't supply the foreign customers who have placed orders and paid for the vaccines, they leave themselves open to being dragged through the international courts. 

Yes, I want the vaccine to stay here, but it's wrong to cover up our mistakes by taking from others who were faster to order than we were.  

I'm using "our" and "we" because everyone within the borders is in the same boat.

Why would any tattooist agree to do this?

Here's a more radical thought - let's get enough vaccines to inoculate the people!

Good idea, how please? 

The vaccines are leaving the makers as fast as they roll off the production line. The next few months production is ordered and paid for already.

Yes, a big mistake was made in not ordering sooner, but that doesn't currently matter.  The problem for now is how to get them fast, and I don't see an answer in the short term.

The only ones that seem to be readily available are the Chinese versions, but they're pretty much useless against the newer strains.

Does anyone have an answer - not a moan or a recrimination, but an actual answer?

A compressor will give you "Air" which contains 21% oxygen if you want oxygen you need to get it refilled from a gas supplier, or a dive supplier. Either of which is probably where you bought the tank anyway.

I've just read up on these concentrators, they work by removing the nitrogen, which is the main component of "air", leaving a gas that is much higher in oxygen - up to 90% is claimed.  I won't be buying now, but it's good to know that these are a reasonably cheap option.

"Right now, the order has not been issued yet," Nakorn said, adding that various agencies will need to review it and consider its impacts.

Translation; "I'm going to do this, but I need someone to blame it on."

I got a Facebook friend request from someone who I know died 2 years ago.  Either his account was hacked or Facebook is expanding into entirely new markets.  

So, not the first choice, but better than nothing.  

I found it disappointing how many of the good people are gone and how many of the a*******s are still kicking.

Mine has closed again.  "Covid" and no rational discussion at all.

I'm going to have to go to my local restaurant tonight, the owner's reactions will be hilarious.  I sympathise, this is lunacy that won't help stop Covid, but it will still be hilarious.  ????

One would almost think that they had been ordered to use Sinovac.

I bought last year.  OK, wrong time to buy.  But.  It was a condo I wanted, where I wanted, and to live in.  As an investment, no, I wouldn't buy.  However, if I had money that I could afford to tie up for at least 2 years, I would definitely be buying now.

Does anyone know of a single Nigerian who isn't involved in crime of some sort?  Just one?

In Chiangmai you can get a Covid test for Baht 1,800

But if you fail, it'll cost you a lot for 2 weeks in hospital, even if you have no symptoms.  I think that, because of that, many foreigners - including me - will be passing on tests unless we have symptoms and need hospital.

I'm waiting for them to charge the policeman (posthumously) with leaving the scene of a crime.
