bunnydrops Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 The last couple of days they have been announcing over the village loud speakers a tape put out by the government of some doctor explaining the virus and the need to get the shot. Then they went around and made a list of everyone over 60, including me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myself and I'm sure many others will wait for the Phizer and Moderna jabs to be available no mater what the cost will be. Bit torn now.......good feedback, if true, from Indonesia and Sinovac...........if this drags on I might be tempted to go for sinovac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post John Drake Posted May 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2021 And wasn't it just four or five days ago that the outgoing British ambassador and the American charge d'affaires were crowing about how they had made sure that Westerners would be treated like Thais? Yes, all that "behind the scenes" diplomacy we always hear some people on this forum brag about, well, it sure helped didn't it? 9 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First using us for the ATM we are, and then using us until the till is tapped, then throwing us out with the bath water and into the klongs.

First - "He said that it was true that Thais would go first" Then - "why not just vaccinate people as they show up? " You are perfectly free to believe they announced first come first served, doesn't make it fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wensiensheng Posted May 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2021 I posted in another thread yesterday that I received an unsolicited phone call from the hospital where I go for my annual medical, asking if I want an AZ vaccine from the government in June. I said yes for me, asked if I could register my wife( who also goes there for her medical) and was told no. She is only 53 so must wait. proper medical ethics. Based on health risk, not nationality. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No country operates a first come first served policy and Thailand is no different. When I went for my free flu jab I saw old ladies being turned away from their vaccine place for administrative reason.

phetphet Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 47 minutes ago, Surelynot said: Our only hope is that Thais freak out, refuse the vaccine and the junta are left with millions of vaccines on the shelf. i think there is already a lot of fear amongst the elderly Thais and countryfolk in the small villages of the various vaccines. Those outside the cities and tourist industry will need to be persuaded to be vaccinated. So what you say might be true for a while at least. They will be left holding stock longer than anticipated, but will just accelerate giving it to other groups such as foreigners. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes the smell of sweet bottomness For many years I never believed the 'we're not liked here' crowd, but now I can see it, albeit it has got 'worse' now of course. I firmly believe, generally speaking, we are despised here now. I went out yesterday for lunch on my own, nothing fancy, and was looked at like I was filth, they didn't even want to serve me. I asked one woman very firmly 'what is wrong' in Thai, she never said anything of course, they never do. I really son't like living here much now, a racist pitful sweatbox. All the smiles are gone and the laid back way of life, and I'm not just blaming the people for that, what with Covid and this govt this country has changed so much now in the 21 years I've been here. But I AM stuck here for various reason, and I beat myself up about that almost daily. 7 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
