By the time October 1 comes around should be around 40 percent fully vaccinated. Which is wonderful for the individuals that are vaccinated, but does very little to help, on a macroscopic scale, the spread of the virus. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If France, the India AZ (used in Thailand) is not recognized, at least in last July. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are the restaurants and the other locales supposed to verify the info you provide, unless that is what this new wonder app is for. Of course, how long will it last. Walked into the mall yesterday and the people ahead were just walking in without scanning the QR code and the security folks did not even make a peep, very few signing the papers on the table either. It's pretty obvious they were saving face by announcing the relaxation of measures but the reality is such that they cannot do so without exacerbating the situation and seeing the numbers spiral out of control. I have repeatedly stated here that this premature opening up will be another of their major mismanagement decisions; to be filed with allowing Songkran travel, visiting hi-so sex clubs in Burma and Thong Lor in Bangkok, and lousy and questionable vaccine procurement. Remember, over 20,000 cases yesterday from official and ATK results with minimal testing being done. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any bit of paper waved in their face will get you a seat in a restaurant So long as the waved paper has certain images and numbers on it, or customers wave a piece of plastic with a chip in it.

They are hugely unpopular and businesses and people are suffering. So they need to open up. But like you said there are far too many cases to do so. So they do something that is impractical to act as if they are doing something. Just window dressing. If this virus stays long enough it will be the ultimate downfall of Prayut something the opposition could not do. Ironic. Something goods then at least comes from this mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT - it also stick on the other arm where I did not get the shot. And it did stick on a person who got no vaccine at all... That was for response to an antivaxer. But after he came back and started his theories about how when 5G transmitters are turned on all vaccinated people will die I lost hope and put him on ignore list... That same nut case led group of his "followers" to storm national TV HQ because TV would not give them air time to spread their "truth" about pandemic... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all the same they have the same lies and deceptions. The only difference is where the corruption money ends up. Just look at how easy MP chance sides so they can still have a cut. Its not political leaning that persuades them but what gives them the biggest chance to get rich. As long as there are no good choices right now besides former future forward but they are not strong enough yet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you often don't taste and smell anything. A good example how important it is that the staff is Covid free. ???????? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post James105 Posted September 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2021 Quote Customers will have to fill in a form on the "Thai Save Thai" app just to get a bite to eat. I think at this stage we can all be grateful that we live in a country with some of the best app developers in the world seeing as we will have another app on our phones to navigate. It's just a bit unfortunate that these high quality app developers are not legally allowed to work in Thailand as they are not Thai so will sadly not be involved in the creation of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a requirement for a Thai ID - the terms and conditions which you agree to have short section in English then jump to pages and page all in Thai - on the Register People screen, but I'm only looking at the first screen.

I mean not having a smart phone is a choice. There are cheap smart phones available. But it might be problematic for poor farmers (but they probably don't go tot restaurants that would check things) but any foreigner not owning one is a bit strange in these days. Though I know of some hold outs but then its their choice. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
