Popular Post biggles45 Posted October 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2021 I have trouble understanding how you can test negative for CV, board a plane for an 8 hour flight and then be positive when tested in Thailand. Are the tests that unreliable? This is a deal breaker for me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are delivering over 12,000 jabs a day in Sakon Nakhon alone. Okay! If they are so effective then tell me why I am sitting here at the age of over 50 and still not have a chance to get vaccinated? At the same time, explain why they only reached from 23 % to 30% in about 2 month but every day media frenzy about how many they vaccinate. Just take a look! 12 000 per day in a city. Let say 12 000 per day in each province. Counting low, aren´t we? Provinces in Thailand 76, right? 76 x 36 000 = 912 000 shots per day! WOW! If that is what they have been doing the last two months, why not a betting percentage? That would mean almost 55 million shots in 2 month! Really Wopping, right? So, according to how well they are doing, it will only be approx. 3 - 3,5 month more and the whole Thailand is vaccinated? Is that what you are saying???? Get a GRIP! Or maybe you were only talking about Nakhon Nowhere, and dreamt up 12k shot, alt. believe the media too much!

Indeed. Makes you wonder who makes theses lists of green lighted countries. Edit: Portugal is actually at 88.1% of the population vaccinated now, not 87%. 2nd top Worldwide, with that being said I'm proud to be one of the remaining unvaccinated 11.9%.

Vaccinations now nearly 19,000 per day as of yesterday. Both my wife and I are fully vaxxed and 80% of our village have received at least 1 shot and quite a number have had 2. Maybe the reason why your still sitting there at aged 50 is because your region are still concentrating on the vulnerable ones. Just a guess. And please refrain from telling me to 'get a grip' if you don't mind! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well , what do you think looking at the countries on the list ? For me it appears to be the big countries , and the others are only names but practically means nothing more ( i mean how many people from Luxembourg or Latvia will visit Thailand in a year ?) . There are a few logic names on the list but many on that list should not be there . No worries however , since i guess next list will be 1 month after and again for January , which would certainly include the countries which do have very high vaccination numbers . Can just see how it goes , and maybe if i'm lucky i can go somewhere in Jan . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand will continue to wither economically until they come to their senses in this TBH if testing is a dealbreaker , then say goodbye to travel for the next few years . I mean , testing will be by far the longest around . I think this is a non issue for most people and the very least of my concern . If testing and vaccination is the things needed , why bother , i'd say that is as good as it gets .
