natway09 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Some of you guys have lost the plot !!! Why should Thais not come first ? As a farang in Thailand & you really think that you deserve special treatment before Thais,,,,,, go home or have a major rethink about your status. By then Hospitals will have stock anyway & you can go & get innoculated. It is not about how much but when ? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statman78 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 This came from the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration spokesman. I don’t think they control who gets the vaccine in the rest of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Percy P Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 6 hours 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 wouldn't think that, quite a selfish thought. The Government is good enough to purchase the vaccines, I hope the Thais will take the vaccination up , it's for them and the country's safety. what will you be doing, what are you hoping for. Why would Thais want to freak out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apetryxx Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Just more bigoted, racially charged gobbledygook from a government can’t see the forest for the trees. When are these folks going to learn that anyone and everyone can transmit this disease regardless where they hail from. Sheer stupidity not to recognize this and get on with inoculating every living soul that wants one. I’ll happily pay for mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My healthy Thai wife will get her first jab next week (Phuket), while my 68 year old German neighbour with underlying health conditions can apply god knows when. Even though Phuket will open to tourist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you worried about. Keep in line with the recommendations, keep your distance.,wear a mask in public you'll have no problem.

This Pandemic has led me to question whether moving to Thailand permanently is the right thing to do. The fact that vaccination of the general population hasn't even begun yet in any serious sense is bad enough but knowing I'm considered just one rung up the ladder from a tramp has shed a new light on the country for me. I've heard others talk about racism in Thailand but in all honesty, other than dual pricing, I've never experienced it - until 2020 that is.

wordchild Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) i suspect there will be some "row back" on this , clearly racist statement, from the Bangkok authorities. Astra Zeneca/Oxford developed the vaccine and effectively donated the manufacturing rights to Thailand (at nominal cost) on the basis that it was distributed fairly to those in need. I would expect some reaction once this is brought to their attention. This is not so simple as "this is Thailand , its their country, they can do as they wish!" The fact is, this is not "their" vaccine. Edited May 14, 2021 by wordchild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are planning to get vaccinated for COVID-19, we would love for you to reserve the COVID-19 vaccine through us by providing the information below, so that we can provide you with our quality service when the vaccine is available. Name Prefix (Mr./Ms./ Miss/ Mrs.) Name & Last name (According to passport) Gender Date of Birth (D/M/Y) HN (Hospital Number) Passport Number Thai Social Security number or Tax Number Do you have any underlying disease? Current home address Email Contact Number For further inquiries, please feel free to contact us by emailing [email protected] or calling 02-0115566. Thank you for your trust in Bumrungrad International Hospital. At the request of the central Thai government, the survey was suspended by Bumrungrad. Apparently it is better to not have data on the need for foreigners residing in Thailand to receive the vaccine while they are actively being ignored, disregarding the virus' inability to distinguish between Thai and "other", let alone between "other" holding a valid work permit and those retired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
