That is so funny, seriously, a head Security guard, man you have wicked sense of humour ????, on a more serious point, most western countries have for want of a better expression ' a figurehead ' minister in charge of ministries, they are normally well educated intelligent people who have a whole host of professional advisors behind them, like Doctors for health, accountants & others for the treasury, and so it goes on and on, unfortunately it would appear that in Thailand they don't have any subject experts so dickwads like anutin ( I didn't capitalize his name on purpose ) just say whatever comes into their vacant heads ???????????? 4 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uptome1946 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I should probably start a new topic with this question but I honestly don't know how to do that so I will pose my question here. Does anyone know if there exists a country that a Thai citizen can enter and get an mRNA vaccine in a short period of time? The Thai person in question is 54 years old, female and has been refused an American visa in the past. This happened at the Chiang Mai US Consulate even though I paid quite a sum of money to a "visa service" which advertises that they can help Thais enter the US. Every person in the waiting room that day also failed to get a US visa. I have investigated Hong Kong which allows only a 30 day stay. The quarantine and three weeks between shots rules out that option. Guam is out as are most South East Asian countries that I have considered. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Popular Post aussienam Posted July 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) If there is a Wuhan-style lockdown they'd better get the body bags ready. Suicides, domestic murders, usual serious illnesses and COVID infections all rolled into one. I recall the footage in Wuhan and welding shut apartment block entrances. Pets being flung out of condos and people dropping dead. Ahhh happy days ahead. Anyone who was planning to come to Thailand, after reading this, would have cancelled now.

Covid is affecting peoples lives... vaccinations could have alleviated it to a certain extent, but that plan failed dismally. Now we have to go the hard road.

This government is not known for its organisational abilities, I am just flabbergasted that Dr Opart (-from-the-reality) can make a statement like this. Do you think they've formed a committee yet to determine how they are going to purchase food and water, (from where?) and deliver it? For those that were here for the flood the local government supplied food to people and it worked. Asto why wait 2 months. Simple if you lock everyone in how are you going to vaccinate them?

newnative Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Or, get everyone vaccinated in the next 2 months. Get on the horn to Biden and Putin and get some vaccines here tomorrow. Speed up the deliveries of what has already been ordered--has anything actually been ordered? Is the Moderna order still in bureaucracy hell? Get to work.

crazykopite Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 This must surely be a mistake the PM stated that Thailand would open in 120 days yet if lockdown happens in two months time we would be approaching the 120 day mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spetersen Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Complete insanity ! Mass vaccination is the only cure out of this, and even if that would be accomplished the numbers here in Thailand would be in parity of UK.

The PM said we will reopen the whole country for tourists at 1st October... and now maybe a full lockdown??What will the thousands of tourists who are planning to come to Thailand in October deal with that??? And besides that in 2 months .. how many cases and deaths there will be a day? Maybe better to wait for next year to implant measures to prevent worse Thousands of tourists planning to visit in October? Do you have any facts to back that up? IMO one would have to be oblivious to what is happening in LOS now to even consider visiting, other than to see family etc. That's even assuming the new variants of corona haven't imposed additional restrictions on travel- look at the situation in the US, UK and Australia right now. This virus isn't done yet, by a long shot, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
