The link to sign up was posted on this forum, and on the Government’s ThailandIntervac website. Employment status had no part in vaccine allocation at Medpark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the moaning foreigners are making little if any effort to get jabbed, I certainly aren’t aware of any foreigners who have been jabbed moaning, before or after their injection. I trust you’ll understand that when the US Government donated 1,500,000 doses of Pfizer to Thailand with the agreement 20% would be allocated to foreigners in Thailand some of those foreigners might get a vaccination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That she didn't mention foreigners specifically? When it's apparent from posters on this thread that foreigners are currently receiving the Pfizer. I'd suggest focusing on understanding how they're making it happen, instead of focusing on how mistreated the forlorn foreigners are. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they want to vaccinate Thai students that travel. Now your looking at maybe 50,000 out of 3 million expats and those will go to people over 60 with underlining conditions. As it should . By the way. The US never made any agreement of 20 %. That was a Thai general that said that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsxrnz Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I'm waiting for Sylvester McMonkey McBean, to rock up with his star-tling vaccination machine. I'm not in a rush to go to the beaches, like all my fellow expatriate Sneetches. The Frankfurter Parties are way over rated, so I'll wait till the queues have somewhat abated. Astra Zenica, Moderna, Pfizer, or Johnsons times two, not sure what I want, not sure what I'll do. At the end of the day it's all a bit pointless, Mother Nature rules the world, and man, is she dauntless. When all this blows over, she's the one that will win, and we'll realize what hysterical Sneetches we've been. Apologies to the good Doctor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in nowhere Isaan and like I said earlier, I was approached and Thais helped me register. This was 3 weeks ago for a shot Aug 15. I'm new to area - locked down here 6 months ago. Just called me 3 hours ago and told me I could come today!!! Not sure about all the details and I think they were a little unsure about what vaccine I would get. It seems like I could wait for Pfiser on the 15th or come today. Without any reservation, told the lady I would see her in a couple hours. I really don't care what jab. I've done my research with open eyes and other than the J&J which I don't completely understand, all are very effective after the second jab IMO. My habit of not complaining with rare exceptions has served me well in Thailand and America. Maybe this is why others help me when the sh@#!t hits the fan or when Thais think they might be able to make my life a little easier. Most Thais, American, Germans, Brits will lend a hand if it isn't too inconvenient and you don't act like an arrogant jerk. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Farangs are even lower on the scale. I've been treated with respect 99% of the time here. Rich and poor Thais for the most part are cool but aren't perfect. I have my bad moments but have the luxury of resolving my issues in private. Many have it a little harder than us retired folks. I think your statement is a more of an indicator of your specific challenges. Not being a jerk but how is it every person I know that was respected back in there home country and respects others is almost never treated poorly. Not including the sour shop owner or a person just having an awful day. Some look at every interaction as a battle. My encounters are pleasant or not so pleasant encounters. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
