Oh I think they did.
I seem to remember a few years ago the government wanted to be able to censor Google and Facebook but both organisations refused to let them.
One day, maybe in the long distant future, I believe it will be social media that will be the catalyst for bringing about change in this country.

Walk-ins are for later--when the majority who wanted a vaccine already got it. Why in the world are so many being made to go to Bangkok. Sheer madness. Open vaccines centers all around the country and do appointments only right now.
Correct.
Also if vaccinations are done in this manner who is keeping records can I ask?
As I understand it for vaccinations to be the most effective the first and second dose need to be about 8-12 weeks apart. If no records are kept (which I suspect is what will happen) how will people be called in at the correct time for their second dose?
I feel very sorry for the Thai public having to put up with this chaos.

Well first of all congratulations to the Daily News for their campaign to "keep the damning issue in the public eye" and also for recognising that the statistics do not account for people who die away from but as a cause of an accident. I wish them every success. However isn't it just as damning that they, not the government nor the police have to take the lead on this. Its shocking!

Sounds fictitious to me , I spent last weekend With my Thai Girlfriend in central london including China town still very busy did a few nightclubs and then shopping on Sunday no problem , no bad comments no racism
I think you are wrong. The Met Police are investigating and presumably the hospital will have a record of him attending A&E. I rather doubt the guy would make this all up and break his own nose just to create a fictitious claim of assault/racism.

The amount of hatred towards Thais shown in this thread is shocking. I mean the man just got racially abused, robbed, and had his nose broken, and all I see is a bunch of expats, who live in Thailand for whatever reasons, expressing their happiness that this event happened to a Thai national living abroad.
Some of you may have had bad experiences in Thailand, but they give you no reasons to be satisfied when an innocent man got hurt, just because he is Thai. Seriously, that's overt racism. I doubt any of you have been robbed and assaulted here because you happen to be foreigners.
I have seen a few posters in other threads ask if and why the attitude of Thais towards expats have changed and been less welcoming over time. You lot on here are the cause of that change.
What I don't understand is if you hate Thailand and Thai people so much, why do you stick around? Wouldn't it benefit both you and Thailand if you leave?
Well said!
To those that shrug their shoulders at this. Just because the situation for foreigners currently living in Thailand is far from ideal why should that make it more acceptable for unpleasant things to happen to Thais living abroad?
This happened, it was not concocted by the Thai man, he has a broken nose and reported the assault to the police. Hopefully there will be arrests soon. This attack was a mixture of low life's seeing a weak target, theft and racism all rolled into one.
While writing let me say this though. I am married to a Thai and we live in London. Last week she was racially abused getting on a bus by an old man shouting virus at her …. because she looked Asian. Fortunately that is all she faced and no violence was involved. Through my wife I know of two more similar incidents to hers where her Thai friends have been racially abused and now this.
Please people try to be kind.

Girlfriend of Australian tourist found dead in Thai police custody suspects foul play
in Phuket News

Any responsible police force (yes I know) would not leave a drunk in a cell without checking on them regularly. Also they would take away all items that could be used to hang oneself. Standard procedure for a responsible police force. Please not I do not class the Thai police as responsible!
Of course we only have their word for how he died, so far.
