Good move. Last year we came to island March 20. Live in Bangkok. Then things went south. So we decided stay on island. Stayed 7 months. Fast-forward back to same island April 1. Plan stay few weeks. Now will stay to Oct+ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have no way of knowing if I would be or not, but it is possible. Hence I think restrictions are sensible until the world vaccinates itself into a position where Covid deaths are preventable to a much higher degree than currently.

anchadian Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 And yet another report which doesn't mention those over 60 yrs with underlying health conditions. Possibly they've already been fully vaccinated, although I doubt that very much. Pattaya and Banglamung rollout second doses of Covid-19 vaccines to selected groups TPN media has had lots of questions about foreigners being able to register/receive a Covid-19 vaccine as part of the government program. Although the Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration, or CCSA, has reported multiple times that foreigners can start registration from June 7th at government hospitals that have their health records, we have many messages and e-mails from readers who state that their local hospitals have stated this won’t be happening or they are not taking registrations. Based on the information released so far, it appears that the date of June 7th is more of a “starting date” and not a guaranteed date that every foreigner in every province and area of the country will be able to register, let alone know when they can get a Covid-19 vaccine. While it is true that there have been reports of some foreigners being vaccinated who have work permits in “high-risk” fields, and some provinces like Phuket and Hua Hin have started vaccinating some foreigners (again, mostly with work permits) as a whole many foreigners, especially the vulnerable retiree group, remain waiting for solid information.

No im not a sexpat did visit the bar scene when i first came here but got old quite fast. But beer and sexpats go hand in hand. They are complaining about their alcohol because of the bars and girls. Now they keep on crying about the opening of bars while that is just too high a risk. I don't care about the whole bar scene normally but right now opening that up is just asking for trouble. But once people are vaccinated open it up let everyone do whatever they want. I don't really care up to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkk Brian Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Department of Corrections announced today that there are 1,230 new infected inmates and one additional death. This should be reflected on the national tally tomorrow. They didn’t say, but the total should be 28,302 infections and 13 deaths so far https://twitter.com/ThaiNewsReports/status/1400463407178948613 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Zweistein Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 14 hours ago, Mr Meeseeks said: Exactly. I am just as likely to get a dose of C19 at a wet market or a pharmacy as I am sitting at an outdoor bar having a beer or sitting at a restaurant eating. If I didn't know any better I would think these restrictions are being forced on us I am surprised the ban on beer/alcohol is quite an issue to certain posters on this forum. According to psychiatric guide lines they are alcoholics. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and the bars and clubs have been shut, open them up again then and see what happens and maybe shut them down again in a couple of months, just like we kept doing in the UK.

kiwikeith Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 18 hours ago, keith101 said: Wont be long before Thailand crosses the 200,000 new cases mark and on up from there . The big question from there is will wee see deaths in the 2,000 range which with so many serious/critical is quite possible . That's how the USA figures started creeping. Melbourne tested 47,000 a day, a couple of days ago, with a small outbreak that closed the NZ, Australia travel bubble,supposed to have been the Indian variant, temporarily. Thailand does not test anywhere near this number. Hence, we may sadly see the virus spiral out of control. I hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
