Worries, what worries he's got it sewn up.

Sewn up with what? There's no wax on the thread, which is well past its sell by date and he's using a Blake sticher instead of an over locker. What could possibly go wrong?

Why do they do this, again and again. don't they realize how stupid the look???

How can they possibly think they look stupid, when there are so many people more than willing to cough up the asking price?

8000 vs 500 baht. They have NO shame

No, there is no shame. As is proven with the straight face when asking an extortionate amount and the indignation when confronted.

Well, if it was in EU , I live in France for example, everyone who works with the public, bars, restaurants, shops, bigger offices , etc etc must be vaccinated or present a negative PCR test every 72 hrs to their boss/ workplace. You also have a vaccination Pass, where your COVID vaccinations are noted with their dates, your name. This you show and your QR code is scanned before entering the establishment. It’s a government app. Paper copy can be used. It’s easy and rapid to do, hold up your phone/paper, they flash it. Personally I am reassured by this, and it doesn’t bother me in the least.

Where Thailand is concerned, I’m not sure that they are capable of organizing this . 

Exactly the point. However, they are more than capable of false promises.

This could be a two edged sword. If asked for my vaccine status at the establishment I am visiting, how do I know it is safe to enter? Will there be a clear sign at the entrance to confirm all staff are vaccinated?

If, in the eyes of RTP it ain't broke, why fix it.

Is there an Embassy in Thailand?

A small office on the 23rd floor of some obscure tower block, I think?

1st one 21 Aug. Next one 22nd Oct. Both AZ. As 4 MYEgo says, I have Moderna waiting in the wings, which will be called in sometime early next year.

With the UK testing on average about 500,000 a day compared to less than 50,000 in Thailand, the chances are that the UK numbers are at least 10 times more accurate than Thailand's ! Underestimated or not. 

 

Be honest the whole worldometer is a bit of a joke, test more , find more, hence most of the world's most tested countries appear in the top 10 for covid positives ! Apart from China who nobody on the planet believe any data from

Sorry to have to correct you on that last sentence. Thailand believes all data coming from china.

But when do you think 70% of the population will finally get vaccinated?  

As a guess, like this gov does, I'd say late 2022 or maybe early 2023, maybe!

Passbooks are just another level of Thai bureaucracy. Any other country use them? I don't know of any. I used to live in Bangkok and had my account at the main Bangkok Bank branch. Then I moved to Kalasin Province, but was unable to transfer my account to my local branch. When my book was full I asked at my local branch for a new book and they said, in all seriousness, that I had to travel from Kalasin to Bangkok to do it.

And when I was in Bangkok I went into a branch other than my own to renew my book, and got the default reaction of any bank staff anywhere - Cannot. It was late in the afternoon and I didn't have enough time to get to my branch and would have had to make a lengthy trip back into the city the next day, so I decided to argue about why. Of course, the assistant had no idea, so she called the manager out to see me. And he decided to be helpful and issued the new book. So they could do it if they wanted to.

 

Very often in Thailand, you have to argue to achieve anything. Of course, it can have to opposite effect and they'll just look right through you and act as if you aren't there.

Your remark: They could do it if they wanted to, is very true. As to just looking through you as if you are not there, applies in many cases and not just banks.

They keep they're mouth shut so as not to look stupid, knowing full well if they open it, they will prove the point. On the other hand, is it just dumb ignorance?

All pigs fed and ready to fly.

So, a medically qualified person accredited by that Embassy examined the patient, determined death had occurred and the reason, signed, and it was validated by the Embassy and issued? ????

I find that rather strange. Surely the hospital had a doctor who was treating him. It would be that doctors responsibility to sign the death certificate?

I have to ask, why would you worry about the problem? It wont affect you.

As said below, Don't take life so seriously, no one gets out alive anyway.

However, I do have all bases covered, its only fair.

Such a nice bedside manner. I do hope he is a doctor I am very unlikely to meet.

A friend recently approached an agent to extend his marriage visa. 50k or retirement 19k was the answer he got. A no brainer as to the course he took.

Prayut's remarks could also be interpreted as: These improvements may mean we can save a lot of money on buying vaccines.

Had this same arrive on Monday 16th.

After reviewing your registration, it can not be further processed due to lack of required visas.

Please note that this registration platform is ONLY for foreign residents in Thailand and are not Thai nationality.

If you are a migrant worker or work under MoU with the Ministry of Labour, please wait for further information from the Ministry of Labour.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

This is an automated message, please do not reply.

On Tuesday 17th email from Bangkok KK hospital informing me of an appointment for Sat 21st August at KK hall Central Plaza.

My opinion FWIIW, some are jumping the gun. This email of rejection is either a mistake or, it is to put people off from further registration in the hope of saving a few vaccination samples. Just a thought, but I wouldn't put anything past this government. 

Empty vessels making the most noise as per usual. Kicking the can down the street only amplifies the mindless stupidity of those in charge.

Fake news

More ballcocks from the mindless one.

If this wasn't so tragic for the people of Thailand, it would be pure comedy. Sinovac is known to be all but useless, yet these idiots in government  chase after it like it was pure gold. The only people with pockets in shrouds.

I would like to be asked, but whomever asks may not like the answer.

It would be nice to give a positive answer, unfortunately at present it would be negative.

I have just received an email from Expatvac stating: 'After reviewing your registration, it cannot be further processed due to lack of required visas.

Please note that this registration platform is ONLY for foreign residents in Thailand and are not Thai nationality.

If you are a migrant worker or work under MoU with the Ministry of Labour, please wait for further information from the Ministry of Labour.

So much for that little effort.

What are the restriction in the red zone

My question also. The restrictions are not so well published in English. I guess we are not meant to know?
