Not good if the Passport numbers, citizenship and names were leaked.  Thailand has now exposed thousands if foreigners personal information.  Time to go to the Worldwide press and our embassies.

Our embassies??? I assume you're having a laugh.

[PMinThailand]

Never going to happen! Only way out: buy yourself a ticket to your home country, get the jab there and come back. That is what I did! Fully vaccinated now.

inherent in most human beings is their ability to run future scenarios in their minds and therefore avoid real world consequences.  this ability is what separates us from the animal world.

Update on my registration:

After being rejected because information was missing such as phone number and religion, they finally signed me up for this week. 

 

Now got to hear that I've been put at the back of the line, because... reasons. 

 

Imagine what the news headlines will say if I spread Covid now. I work at a school, so I'm part of the group that they want to be vaccinated first. My whole school was able to, but they picked me out of the list and literally said NO. 

[thailand49]

In a country where " Critical thinking " has been lacking in their education system by experts in and outside leaders today are showing truly what they are made of due to the pandemic ????  and it isn't pretty!????

[ThaiFelix]

In other news today Thailand is asking volunteers to come forward for its inaugural space shot to the moon next month .........hahaha!

[bluesea]

It is just another way to throw off expats so they dont have to vaccinate us.. Thai Lodgic??

Thailand is truly amazing is all I can say.  Let's see if my date for the vaccination on the 24th of This month is honored.  

I have the same vaccination day as you. How much do you want to bet that when we show up we are told "no have" or they tell us "AZ is for Thai only" and try to push that Sinovac garbage on us ????

Thailand - the hub of technology and racism.

Let me know. I have an appointment on the 28th for a jab of AstraZeneca------or so I am told.

[kcpattaya]

This mickey Mouse government is an absolute joke.
Thailand = Toyland

 

[PeeJayEm]

Registration - pre-registration as it  should be called is a ridiculous process anyway.  It adds no value or control to anything except feeding burocracy and delay.

Just tell people in the particular groups where to go to get jabbed and what documents to take to prove their legitimacy in that group.

Then record that the jab has been given.  That's how all successful vaccination programs are working elsewhere.

Tried that. They said you need a ticket. They also said you can't just jump on a plane. You have to ride inside.

 

Maybe not as simple as you think.

[KarenBravo]

I managed to register on the site, but don't recall being able to choose dates for an appointment.

After I completed the forms, I was informed that I would be sent an email...........which never came.

Why do we think a tenth rate military can run a country? The reality is, they cannot. They show their incompetence every day especially over the vaccines. Nobody seems to have a clue.

"...think something through..." Sure agree.

 

In my analysis it's worse...   inability to see things from a basic human rights level without any bias (country or whatever bias) or local flavor...

 

 What a shame, many Thai have had a broad international education and are well capable / personally are open thinkers, but 99% of the people currently in government aren't in this group.

 

What a shame that the Thai folks who can think openly stay away from politics. What a shame that these more broadly educated open thinkers such as thanathorn and korn who have on many occasions shown clearly they want to contribute to building an open and equal and respected Thailand are savagely smacked down.

We presented ourselves on June 7, without an appointment, in the State Hospital of Charoen Sin.
We, both "Farangs" were both vaccinated.
Apparently I am not believed!
I was vaccinated with the Astra Zenica vaccine and I have to present myself on September 27 for the second injection.

Good point, COPD is all about weakness/severe weakness/permanent damage to the lungs and respatory system.

 

Covid 19 attacks the lungs and respatory system.

Going to play safe and have booked Moderna appointment with probably vaccination in October and also appointment for AZ on 29 June. I also am trying the social security route for a Sinovac jab. Fallback plans as I expect appointment postponement or cancellation. 

[TheFishman1]

How Thailand makes  so many easy things so complicated it’s so confusing and so difficult if you’re a foreigner and you wanna vaccine you think they would make it easy set up some centers except all walkins the vaccine should be for free But instead he said of webpages that is confusing at best complicated at least an unreliable I use the Chiang Mai wall vaccine website got there 16 digit or whatever it was number but yet it’s been over two weeks with absolutely no reply go figure TIT
