wwest5829 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Fortunately, not in Bangkok to deal with this as my Thai wife is still waiting for the Moderna vaccine shots we paid for months ago… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That unvaccinated people will be shut out of the social life was easy to predict. So anybody who wants to join the social life should have put some effort in getting vaccinated. I think the number of people who wanted to get vaccinated but just couldn't is very small, and these still have the option to present a test. Just wait 2 or 3 more months, wouldn't surprise me if by then you can only enter a mall or eat at restaurants if you are vaccinated. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of BK, pople will do their own thing with mostly no restrictions anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Kernell Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 What was just said "culture is more important than personal choice" ? Something is seriously wrong here and I fear it will end in tears and violence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by then fully vaccinated is unlikely to be 2 jabs, it will be 3, 4 and then 5. Good luck with that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
