Certainly safe for the patient. No reason for it not to be.

 

However the dentist might well prefer not to work on someone who is not at least 14 days post full vaccination.

Can you explain a little more in detail why the dentist might prefer that it is at least two weeks since his patient was vaccinated?

Felt

Anyone know if its safe to have dental work requiring anesthesia just a few days after covid-19 vaccination?

Thanks

Paid Thb 2700,- late July sending a Honda wave 125cc with Thailand Post included extra safety packaging. They even (new service they said) delivered the bike on our doorstep.

They (Condo management) are awaiting announcement from the Governor. Outdoor sport like tennis and football is allowed and most ( I believe) condominium pools are outdoor so with some limitations on people who can use the pools its only questions about when the Governors order are on the table.

Maybe look at how the same period was around the globe in the last months a year ago and the beginning of 2021. There are similarities already in Europe where the fall is upon people and as last year increased infections. Thailand had nearly reopened October - December last year but that changed after New year. Now more people are vaccinated so the coming waves should hit less hard but personally I would go now and be back before New year!

This works for most things, in any foreign countries. 

 

How would you react if in , say, Vancouver BC standing right on the kerb on a normal street and a car stopped because they thought you wanted to cross?

Good to see a defensive driver who think ahead and see the upcoming traffic picture.

They are arriving now for the long weekend, and I very much doubt many will be in quarantine until they leave on Monday or Tuesday. 

Yes they came with the noise and bottle filled plastic bags, swam in the pool fully dressed and look shocked when some told them due to covid-19 please wait for the next lift

I agree that had he been at the helm Thailand would not be in the pathetic mess it is in now, all caused by incompetent people acting as politicians. I am not sure the coup fan boys will agree !

The same only different virus. A few years ago, we were told by "Tony" to continue eating Kfc Chicken as ever before, so that the turnover could hold up. Now we are told to receive the bat vaccine to ensure that the government maintains its pride towards big brother.

They "expect to get 5 million delivered in the first batch" and when exactly will the first batch arrive...before or after Sonkran 2022?

Actually just before, March 2022.

Well, all in all then, just a scare meeting to wake the locals from "covid is over" and back to "be careful" ????

The government?

Its citizens?

Which government and which citizens?

 

As far as I know everybody in Thailand is supposed to get free vaccination. It just takes time.

We don't live in a so called 1st world country. And looking at 1st world counties like i.e. the USA and the UK and am happy about that.

Well if you are happy with Sinovac then good for you but that
don't mean 70 million Thais agree with you even and because as  you say they don't live in the first world. Btw, do the US or UK arrange vaccine tours abroad?

Oh well... my grandson will likely know in 2121 and when he sit down with his family and tell tales and history from his ancestors he will probably remark that grandfather was actually right with his theory about the  Covid -19 pandemic origin which killed more than hundred's of millions of people worldwide and started with a lab leak in China ????

I am pretty sure the hospitals will have to pay up front. And the vaccine has only a limited shelf life. I understand that they don't just order amount x only to find out that the demand is not what they expected.

 

As long as they have a fair refund policy I don't think paying up front is a problem.

No it would be too good to be true and possible for the government to be a little generous when it comes to the health of its citizens ☹️

So why do you swim for over 1 km everytime for the last 6 years if under current is so bad and how do you know about the rest of the year when you are only here for 2-3 months a year?

 

Visits have been on different times of the year. I have as said no reason to deter OP from moving to Hua Hin nor have I any reasons to promote Hua Hin. However what got my attention and gave my opinion on was swimming in the ocean and the quality of the water outside Hua Hin beach due to my general interests in swimming and especially in the relatively freedom and natural feeling of a ocean swim. This compared to swimming in many other areas of Thailand. Many retires swim here but many do so in the few clubs who offer a swimming pool due to Jellyfish and general low quality of the seawater.

 So 2-3 months in HH and the water was only dirty for a couple of weeks at the end of April in the 6 years you have been swimming here. 

Sorry to say but rest of the year is worse with added undercurrent. I you count swimmers, not they who jump in the water to cool down or children playing you will over time see that very few swim and I guarantee you that they who love ocean swimming have their reason to not swim.  Btw, I think you most likely can see better how the water are when actually in the water than you can from walking on the beach.????

Felt who comes for 2 months a year. Maybe Felt was swimming in a bad area or after a storm

Only a small correction. 2-3 months here and 2-3 months where my permanent residence is in South Thailand so 4-6 months a year more precisely, and have kept doing so since the better half started in here current job in 2015. Swimming for me is straight down from Soi 85 and I usually swim 1-2.5km each time and mostly swim South along the beach and return. Last year the water in March-May was good, depends where you compare to in Thailand. This year was ok in March and first half of April but later on the water was turbid and dirty and as said I come often up from the water with black streaks of dirt all over the body. I have actually never experienced that anywhere before.

Hi @Felt 35 I have learnt a few things, that swimming in the sea at Hua Hin is not so good as I thought and that the True Arena was a public place as the one in KK is public and free or cheap to use. Also there being no public swimming pool surprises me a bit. For me it makes little difference as I intend to stay in a condo building that has a large pool but it does suggest that Hua Hin does not cater for the local people. 

One running club is the Hash House Harriers - it has groups all over the world, there is a group in Hua Hin, the other group is the Hua Hin Trail Runners. You think you can easily find these by a Google Search.

Thanks, will do a search.

I would certainly not discourage you from move to Hua Hin. Personally I don't live here permanent but my better half work and live here so I'm here 2-3 month and if a "normal year" heading back down South in Thailand for some months and reply. However and as said when it comes to swimming in the sea here which can be done but this year I gave up because I looked as a mud wrestler coming up of the water more often than not in April/May. That the possibility to go to a public swimming pool is no existent disappoint me because its actually says who the place is for and that's not the people keeping the wheels turning. The same with a sports stadium. Not impressed because most major cities, even with less influx of tourist money and property business, usually have this in Thailand. 
What's good here IMO is less traffic if you do not live in the middle of Hua Hin and a more adult audience and generally a milder(less rain) rainy season, but at the same time it can IMO be relatively cool here from November to February at least if you enjoy hot weather 365 days a year.

Btw, you mentioned running/walking clubs here and if you have a link to post that would be great because I never have heard about it.
