I think private hospitals are waiting for their own imported vax for their patients.

 

No, the private hospitals in question are the ones the government was using in the thailandintervac program. They were supposed to receive a certain number of vaccines, but so far less than half have arrived thus causing them to cancel appointments. There is a good opinion piece on a certain English language newspaper discussing it.

Masturbation is Illegal in Thailand

There are two types of people in Thailand, <deleted> and Liars!

Obviously, the limit indicated on the last sign you passed is the limit.

No, what you should have said is  'obviously they forget to take down the old signs each time the limit was changed'.

Sure. The locals didn't want it.

Because they are listening to internet google experts and not actual medical experts....

A private person can get a license to own a gun in Thailand, but they are not allowed to use it for self defence or protection of property. Regardless of reason, that is is a criminal offence in Thailand, as it is in most of Europe. This is decided in criminal court, not by what's on a piece of paper. An e.g. policeman is not a private person, that's different of course.

 

How do I know? I used to be a Thai - English interpretor in Thai courts in the past. Mainly juvenile cases but I have also been in the criminal court on Ratchadaphisek Rd in Bangkok. Lawyers talk to each other. Many people have gone to jail for using his licenced gun in self defence in Thailand. Well known among lawyers.

 

This is a no brainer in so many countries. Most of Europe is the same. 

 

I just quoted the actual law to you and you still post nonsense. Please provide evidence of your claim that 'many people have gone to jail for using licensed gun in self defence".

which vaccine?  No expat that has been injected seems to want to answer that question, and we all know why.  Good luck; at least it may make it easier for you to learn Mandarin mate. 

At least one expat I know has already had his two shots in Buriram (sinovac).

There's no "highly doubt" about it, foreigners cannot own firearms legally in Thailand.

Prior to 2017 that was not the case. The other point is that around 1 in 10 Thai's legally own a firearm but there are enough firearms (legal and illegal)in the country to make that figure over 15 per 100.  Which is far far higher than any other SEA country.

No sure the relevance of the "Benz," are they saying it's better than being killed by a Toyota? 

From a compensation viewpoint yes, of course.

The IDP puts your license details into an agreed international format, ie: a tick in box 1 equals a car license etc, in theory it can be read in any language.

Actually the main aim was to translate licenses into a single language, which was English. So under the original terms as long as your driving license was written in English it should not require an IDP.

Sail it to Krabi Boat Lagoon and take it out of the water there. There is a 35 ton boat lift. The road from there to Donsak should be no problem. In Donsak at the dock put it back in the water and sail it to Samui. 
Regardless, with a transport of this size you would expect the transport company to do a dry run checking for any obstacles and issues. 

I think they would face the same problems on the 401 or 4142.

Blood clots are always a danger when it comes to broken limbs, even if they had operated on him immediately. Even the surgery itself can cause blood clots, which it seems pretty much to be the case here. As they said, a more serious case came along and that’s just how it goes in hospitals, if they don’t have enough staff/operating theaters at hand. The question is whether they gave him prophylactic blood thinners after the surgery.

That is why Warfarin was invented!

I've seen runoff that is pretty black.  Usually the first runoff in an urban area that hasn't had recent precipitation will be quite heavily laden with dust and rubber particles.  Previously, I lived in Las Vegas and extended periods without rain were common.  We had to be extra careful during the initial rain as it would mix with the dust and tire debris to make a very slippery sludge. 

Yes, but did it smell like S**t?????

Approved for emergency use... a subtle but tell-tale difference.

The Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine completed Phase 3 trial in December. it is standard practice for safety monitoring to continue after a vaccine has been approved for use. As is normal Pfizer will continue  to monitor trial participants to assess long-term protection and safety for an additional two years after their second dose.

Yet the UK manufacturer is selling the vaccine at $5 a shot (OK $7.50 to South Africa).

Why can't the Thai hospitals buy it at the open market rate?

Some of the vaccines are significantly more expensive than that.

Is it really true that the Thai authorities agree? I believe Thailand has already received 317,000 doses of vaccines from Sinovac and AstraZeneca.  I haven't heard of a single British citizen, or indeed, any farang, being told that they were going to be vaccinated.  Do you know different?

Well, to be fair, Thai authorities have already stated that everyone regardless of nationality can be vaccinated.

None of the covid vaccines has completed their trials. It is ongoing.

Several have completed phase three trials including Pfizer, Moderna, Sputnik V, Astra Zeneca, and J&J. Several others have not fully published the results of phase 3 trials yet, but all vaccines included those in use for decades are still checked for efficacy and safety.

Not for renewals of the 5 year driving license.

I had to produce one for my 5 year renewal every time, and my wife has just renewed and required a med cert. Actually I had to give them 2 because they wanted one for each license.

I call BS on this but will sincerely apologize if I am shown a menu with the caption '5 Star Hotel' printed on it.

 

On what or whose rating scale does this establishment appear?

 

Please confirm that Koh Chang has hotels rated as '6 Star'

I have to agree, the original report did not mention that the price was 'clearly displayed'.
