Happy to tell you that i had my first dose of AZ at Airport Plaza today, and i was impressed by the staff, and the process. Left with an appointment for Pfizer next month. i am a bit disappointed in the quality of the hallucinations the shot inspired in my Orang brother who cohabits with me in this incarnation ... hoped for reliving scenes from his childhood in Borneo before the brutal kidnapping that trafficked him to the Pu Yai's private zoo/gulag in Thailand where he was known only by his number, 37 ... but, he stayed with his favorite food-related fantasies, like wrecking a four-star restaurant, and eating all the tiramisu and truffles. i'd never tasted truffle before, didn't care that much for it. ~o:37;

I have had good experiences with De. Siri over the years.

PayPal: PayPal's new rules requiring a business account, and proof of Thai business registration to receive payments, or keep a balance ,,, are prohibitive for folks like me who are not doing business in country, but occasionally receive gifts from relatives, or friends outside Thailand. Any alternatives you can recommend ? thanks, ~o:37;

source ?

my older tutukk driver was talking about that two days ago; he said the market is shut down. that could impact many restaurants and smaller markets since Muang Mai is the major supply/distribution hub

Scales a wall with a loaded gun: he's in good shape ? The gun: who really owns it; where did it come from, given fire-arms are illegal except for police ? 63 year old Swiss overpowers him: he's in good shape, martial artist ? Sathian: drunk or drugged ? Wife asleep: she doesn't wake up when she hears sounds of a fight; is she drunk, sedated, part of the plot ? Too many missing puzzle pieces.

Delusional smoke-signals, from happy-face smokespeople, as usual.

Okay, which hand will get spanked ?

Assuming you have "Wall" ID, but, no appointment notification, yet ... Walk-in possible this week anywhere in CM ? thanks, ~o:37;

Thanks for your concern ! No registration yet: long story.

I think my reaction was "off the wall," and, I have asked the mods to remove it. humbly, o~:37;

In Thailand there are no "simple fixes:" only rhetorical flights of fancy proclaimed as truth by various actors with different agendas. Yours may be as valid as the others, although it begs the question of which is more vital to the economy: tourists, or cheap labor. My "flight of fancy:" 100% control of borders with all incoming first checked for Covid, then, if they pass, if unvaccinated: vaccination + quarantine. No pass: no entry. Next up; rename Thailand "Xanadu."

... since I can't edit my first post ... Is walk-in for someone who is not vaccinated still possible ? thanks, ~o:37;

Is walk-in still possible ? thanks, ~o:37;

I just visited this forum today a few minutes ago ... and ... t-shirt design was already being discussed: is that serendipity, or what ? ...because ... When I found out this morning that Chiang Mai Province's Minister for Cultural Promotion, Khun Suwhat Haddaenowheah, announced a t-shirt design contest ... with the winning design to be mass produced, and given out free to expats and foreign tourists who were not yet vaccinated ... I was moved by his eloquent words: "We maybe not get you big shot, but, we get you big t-shirt. You wear Thai people more friendly. " Khun Suwhat was, of course, too tactful to say that one purpose of the design/shirt was to warn Thais. I got to work in PhotoShop. The only Thai content not annotated in my prototype reads; "I have no money" "ฉันไม่มีเงิน" at bottom. I hope to see your entries, and I welcome any critique of my humble effort.
