Short on vaccines, Thailand seeks to borrow from Bhutan

[Rookiescot]

Odd thing about Bhutan is its really expensive for tourists to go there.

You get charged about 250$ per day to be there. That does include hotels and food though.

Thats about all I know about Bhutan.

Probably a nice place though.

[Yewbzee]

150,000? Wow that's really going to make a difference.

[crazykopite]

150,000 wow that’s signs of desperation

no ..... i doubt this guy " said Natapanu Nopakun "   

also,   if payment /  or vaccine exchange  is anything like the Thai airways debacle where they couldn't even pay fuel bills,  then I don't hold alot of hope in Bhutan being reciprocated.

I swear I have heard Anutin say numerous times they will have enough vaccines for everyone, everyone who wants one will get one, we have 10 million doses a month starting in August believe me (pretty sure that last one he just said 3 weeks ago). Well what’s going on?

[rocky123]

Anyone else feel this whole thing has another agenda ? Been looking at some very interesting stuff on UGETube.com and Brand New Tube.

[Sydebolle]

Talk nicely to European countries and you get them for free. In Germany and Switzerland they are closing one vaccination centre after the other one as all those who wanted to get vaccinated - are. 

There must be hundreds of thousands of jabs sitting unused in chillers, fridges or freezers. The Swiss government flatly refused the availability of vaccination for their own people here in Thailand, as the legal framework with the producers prohibits sales to third parties or exporting out of Switzerland - all the while the Swiss have no access to any vaccination outside Bangkok or Chiang Mai. 

Maybe if Anutin, heart robbing friend of the sitting Swiss ambassador, asks nicely, she will be forced to turn up the heat to her boss, the Swiss foreign minister, who was in Bangkok a mere two weeks ago. 

Me thinks that the government might be better off dusting the vaccination shelves of Europe......

Than if a Farang borrowed money, agreed, I got stung by a Farang 'Friend', 20 years ago, 60,000 Baht, never saw him again, changed his number and moved apartments.

I’ve never been stung by a Thai, I guess my guard was down because he was a friend.

Seriously Bhutan! This must be a joke.

Since when is Bhutan one of the poorest countries in the world?

[BestB]

I can not help but wonder, why Thailand did not do a deal with Israel taking 800 000 Pfyzer with soon expiry date? By the end of the year could have given 800 000 baht once new stocks have arrived.

 

800 000 sure beats 150 000

And still you people do not understand that decisions made in the past on supply of AZ to 

which country & when had nothing to do with the present Government.

The final decisions had their origins way above them when it looked like Thailand had dodged the bullet

[Harveyboy]

perhaps someone should sell a watch or 10 to buy some instead

150,000 doses should tip the odds in their favour. 

[Kenneth White]

My comment got blocked the first time lets see if It goes through this time. What happened to the millions of doses sent from America? It seems like a harmless question.

[Midwit]

The biggest problem is that the goal of 100% vaccines is not vital. There is very little benefit to jabbing an 18 year old. 100% of people over 70 should have the shot. After that 100% of anyone over 60 or with sever health issues. After that open it up to anyone that wants it and let’s get back to life. 
 

 

[Dont confuse me]

Surely Bhutan (one of the poorest nations in the world) cannot be the first country Thailand has approached to 'borrow' vaccines from? 

I would they are well down the list of countries one would approach to 'borrow' something from.

Which leads me to deduce that the other 100 or so wealthier countries have been approached have wisely told the great one to, "go forth and multiply" in the knowledge that whilst 'borrowed' does exist in the Thai dictionary, 'pay back' doesn't!

Ensure that the lamp post is in good repair and not made in China. Ditto for rope.

Just sayin'

I don't  think there was ever ' millions of doses '  there was 1.5 mil of Pfizer which is currently being distributed

Which address did you send your visa info to?  The message that you received was auto-generated - it said - so that address is probably not the one to use.  I ask because I am expecting a similar problem as I was unable to upload both passport and visa info when registering.
