Popular Post natway09 Posted June 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2021 Interesting to note that the jaws are all working overtime, but it would be prudent if more effort, time, money & planning was spent on getting at least 60% of Thailands population vaccinated with imported product as SiamBioScience has let the country down in it's hour of need. Why ? Graft, Nepotism & corruption at the very highest level 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandRyan Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Just now, Alex Sharp said: That's the news I got from my son in China last week. China are extending "closed" borders for a further year. Yes they do not wish to spread Covid-21 upon the world and instead want to keep their economy on the positive side, of course this post is sarcastic in nature and only my view, but in all probability is correct, well maybe in an alternate universe....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only country I am aware of that has completely stopped using AZ is Denmark. Others I believe are restricting it to those over 60.

Really, but didn't Anutin say it would be over soon and they had it under control, well maybe 6 weeks ago or so he did, and didn't we peak sometime ago, so no need to panic as Covid is on its last legs, so why not come for a visit.... Yes loaded and dripping with sarcasm this post is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been muzzled with more threats of LM, and ore imprisonment time as well as his family being dragged into the fray.

The issue with AZ is not efficacy but very rare blood clots. This was inconsequential against risk of covid in over 40s but a factor for low risk covid young people. . Now the USA is issuing a warning of myocarditis heart enlargement in young people when taking Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmitch Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 4 hours ago, webfact said: A deputy at the Tourism Council of Thailand told Thai Rath that Chinese tourists would start returning to Thailand from October. So, one deputy at the least important of the various tourism departments has come out with this piece of speculation and the whole industry is wetting itself with excitement? If all the probable caveats were included the article it would be much longer. I really think there will be nothing but a trickle of tourists until 2022, when perhaps the trickle might turn into a light shower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwikeith Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 4 hours ago, beano2274 said: Thought China had banned travel They may well have, but someone has grand ideas. These ideas may include the returning of Chinese tourists to drop cigarette butts on the beach at Pattaya, then go back to Wuhan without quarantine. if they are found to be carrying Delta variant they may have to stay in correction camps until they are tested clear. These camps will be easy to construct using spare railway carriages that can be shunted through decontamination sites on rail sideways. There may be no charge for this, however they may have to enter quarantine correction camps and pay for this service, when cleared by Thai authorities to re-enter China.

TigerandDog Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 3 hours ago, RichardColeman said: why would they ban AZ ? Seems to be working somewhat better than the sinovac gel gunk. The fact alone that deaths in my uk is no longer reflected in infection numbers is some comfort - covid was 1 in 120 deaths recently. What's happening in sinovac countries to me is more worrying. None seem to be making headway against the disease I read another article this morning saying that the USA was not going to allow international travellers into the country if their C19 jabs were AZ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all seems to be “ a moving feast” so could all change next week. I believe Sinovac isn’t recognized in the UK and other places which I can understand. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post paul1804 Posted June 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) This person from Thai tourism is obviously either very badly informed or hasn't done any research, Chinese are not the money spenders Thailand needs to kick start tourism. They are 95% cheap charlies and anybody that's done any research will know this. I don't mean this in anyway to be detrimental or racist, just stating a fact. Like it or not Farangs head the list followed by Japanese, Koreans, Taiwanese, Singaporeans & Malaysians are who you should be targeting if you are serious about rebuilding tourism, getting businesses open and Thai people re-employed.
