  1. If we didn´t slaughter and eat some of the animals, they would be eating your vegetables.
  2. On the other side, male Labradors are so horny, that they will happily <deleted> your leg all day.
  3. I wish there were tougher laws for people, who let their dogs bark outside their home 24/7. Here in Bangkok I have a neighbour just 20 metres away, who has a dog that for years has been been preventing me from having a good sleep, as all night it is constantly barking about 10 seconds apart. I guess that it was also quite cute as a puppy, but to fall asleap, I am counting barks instead of sheep, which is not working very well.
  4. Maybe they are checking, if all tourists in the Samui Sandbox are doing their overpriced mandatory tests, which is needed for the country to survive?
  5. Seems like the monthly brown envelopes to Police and Immigration died together with the husband.
  6. Stop requiring fully vaccinated persons to get tested again and again. This is just another ridiculous way to extort the tourists.
  7. Lockdowns and vaccinations are not just for protecting people from being infected with Covid 19. It as a very important measure, to prevent hospitals running out of capacity for Covid patients and all other kinds of patients. Do you really expect, that people will be willing to live under normal conditions, if they are unable be treated in hospitals, in case they should get sick or involved in an accident??
  8. Procurement of 200 million doses in 2022 for a population of 70 million people, of which no more than 50 million will ever be vaccinated. That is enough for 4 boosters per person in only one year. Are they planning to resell it for a profit, or make Thailand the worlds holiday-hub for vaccine-tourists?
  9. Now 3 months after the initial vaccine roll out, more and more people will start getting fully vaccinated. By the end of September they may reach the 25 or 30% mark. I just got my second AZ jab at Phyathai2 hospital today.
  10. I was up for my 2nd dose of AZ at Phyathai 2 on 20th September, but have just received a SMS, that I have now been rescheduled to 6th September. They seem to have plenty of vaccine and capacity, so please check your SMS or email regularily.
  11. To me both the first registration date and the model year (especially if any significant changes or upgrades) matters. I once bought and received a new car on December 28th and the seller promised, that there would no problem with the car having a first registration date in the following year. But after 2 months on red plates, I received the blue book, which clearly stated first registration date as December 28th - the date I had received the car. Having learned from this episode, I will never again buy a car at the end of a year, as it certainly did hurt the value, the day I needed to sell it again. Car buyers in Thailand are looking at the first registration date only, to determine how old a car is, meaning that a matter of just few days, can make the car a year older. On 1st january in any year, all cars will suddenly become a year older.
  12. The best booster after 2 Pfizer shots, will probably be a mild or unsymptomatic Corona virus infection.
  13. Why? Sinovac is the only vaccine available for countries without proper planning and management. Sinovac is still better than the alternative = no vaccine.
  14. So why did my wife and all her collegues get vaccinated with AZ, through the social security system, with only 8 weeks between?
  15. Maybe AstraZeneca is not happy with, how many doses they get out of the provided material. Could they perhaps be sold at the back door?
  16. As long as unvaccinated people stay at home, the vaccinated can only transfer the virus to other vaccinated people, which means a much smaller chance of hospitalization or death.
  17. In Thailand many new expensive projects are launched, with the main goal to line the pockets of the involved politicians.
  18. Not only a dirty pig with the snout in the trough, but a very greedy dirty one! Why do they never get enough and why do all the people working hard on low salary keep ud with it??
  19. I am afraid, that they may have underestimated, how many people will refuse to receive Sinovac and AstraZeneca vaccine, when they know that other people are able to get Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.
  20. Schools should not be opened up, before the childrens families have been fully vaccinated. Otherwise the children wil catch the virus in school and bring it back home to the unvaccinated family.
  21. Gatherings seems to be tolerated, as long as you are wearing useless dust-masks!
  22. It is not safe to cross the road anywhere in this country. Even if a car stops for you in a zebra crossing, any second motorbikes could be passing at high speed on both sides of the car. I will simply ignore a car stopping to let me cross the road, also in a zebra crossing, unless I have a clear view behind that car.
  23. Talk is cheap. Do they have the capacity to inoculate 10 million people per day in the last week of December?
  24. Thailand is not in a position, where they can select, who they would like to spend their holiday here. In my universe all tourists should be treated as quality tourists. If the tourists are being are treated good and fairly, they may even consider to return again one day, or spread heartwarming words to their friends about Thailand. Thailand do have quite a few quality resorts and hotels which could attract rich tourists, but as soon as they leave the gated premises, the real Thailand hits them right in the face. Taxi- and TukTuk scams, double pricing, pollution, garbage and dirt everywhere, unfriendly agressive locals and harassing sellers and touts everywhere. Off course not all Thais see tourists as cash cows only tolerated because of their money, but in general there will have to be an attitude adjustment to take place, before the tourists all can leave happy and satisfied. What happened to the Thailand we used to know as "The Land of Smiles"? A true smile has to be from the heart!
