I HAD 2  az jabs and both were FREE

And I had 2 x Pfizer at the university in Udon Thani free no thanks to this <deleted> but more so the US Govt for their donation.

4 Months down the track I have had my 3rd Pfizer at our local clinic with MANY thanks to our clinic administrator.

What an extreme cynical headline with regards to the pm of our host country.

Compared to other western countries with a divided weak leadership and divided citizens, Thailand is doing VERY WELL. 

Still GLAD to be in Thailand during this covid crisis. 

For the rest, this pm does a very good job for Thailand. As an environmentalist myself, i see how this governement works very hard and sincere to protect the environment and thinks about the future.

Its the red shirt that are keeping spreading misinformation to the uneducated masses...

Please enlighten us. Tell us about the progressive programs Cha Cha has initiated and followed up on, to clean up the air, the water and the land. I am dying to hear this. Perhaps, this is why the air quality has continued to improve under his supreme leadership? 

 

Please explain to the millions who are out of work how well he is doing. And don't forget to mention it to the families of recent suicide victims, and the homeless. 

 

Also, since his base of support is down to 2%, if you contact him, he might offer you a PR retainer. He needs it. 

I am deeply disappointed to detect more than a hint of sarcasm in the OP.......????

Charismatic??? I don't need to say more

Oh, the shame of it all

Of course, who else did all the work..

Prayut??

Remember this Lads, this Muppet is a useless Joker, who could NOT organize a pizzz up in a brewery.

Hey make believe doctor, love you jup-jup

Dirty Farang 

The virus does not take in Thailand, I would like to know why?

 Is it the chili pepper consumption?

 Thailand can't be lucky, there is a trick but no one is looking for the reason...

Not locking down the Samut seafood market area, within a 2km. radius, and and making sure nobody come in and out for 15 days, back in early December, 2020, when they had 900 plus cases in one day, was a legendary mistake and amounted to gross malfeasance and likely blatant corruption. 

 

Not sealing off the border with Burma, with the use of the 550,000 soldiers who are supposed to protect the nation, (and likely do next to nothing daily) and allowing corrupt border officials to continue working their franchises, was another. 

 

Announcing the closure of construction sites in Bangkok, a week in advance of closing them was as bone headed as it gets. It allowed super spreaders to travel freely all over the nation, resulting in an immediate surge of nationwide cases. 

 

And the severe bungling of the vaccination program is absolutely unforgivable.  

 

You want me to go on? This is not Covid. This is Pratin 19!

 

Oppression, when used to mask institutional failure is a pathetic thing to witness. Kind of reminds me a bit of Cuba, or North Korea. Both failed states. Very weak, Prayuth. You are a failed man, leading a nearly failed state. 

 

You are a weak man, who is showing his insecurity with Trump style boasting, and it only makes your weakness and extreme failures more apparent. And despite the potential dangers, hopefully few of us will take these threats to heart and submit to your CCP type oppression. 

 

Based on the number of cases, the lack of a lockdown around Samut, that infamous day back in December, the issues at the borders with migrant crossings and YOUR super corrupt border officials, the incredibly feeble vaccination drives taking place thus far, the bizarre bans on some businesses but not others, (transparent cronyism and massive corruption) the curfews, and the incoherent plan in terms of travel to a from highly infected areas, and the highly selective enforcement of closures, it seems safe to say that the credit the government was given during the first wave was misplaced, and undeserved, that it was more or less "dumb luck", and that we are not in particularly safe hands at the moment. And you and Cha Cha are largely responsible for the epic failures. 

 

Share of tourism contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) value in Thailand from 2017 to 2020

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1143467/thailand-share-of-tourism-to-gdp

 

So before COVID19, 80% or so of the Thai GDP was NOT Covid19 related.

These frauds never miss an opportunity to self-fellate. Page straight out of Trump's book! ????

If that means continued use of masks, tests and so on, he can wave goodbye to a lot of the tourists.

It is a matter of time this guy will step on someone's toes or put his foot in his mouth guys that have egos and a big head always do.

And Thailand would be certain to be bankrupted during that time. Foreign investment would fall off a cliff. Tourism would not recover at all. And tens of thousands of additional expats would leave.

 

To call him a flaming buffoon would be a severe insult to the buffoons of the world.

Actually of the 115 million vaccine doses given only 23% were Sinovac and many of those were given as a combination Sinovac + AstraZeneca.

 

The 115 million doses breakdown as:

• 40% AstraZeneca
• 23% Sinovac
• 22% Pfizer
• 12% Sinopharm
• 3% Moderna

Is there a timeline as to which/when these vaxs were used here?. I thought it was sinovac/sinopharm/az/pf/mod in that order but I might be wrong

I stumbled onto this one:  Bangkok, 5 July 2021

 

Even more Thai local businesses will also be able to access American Express global network and over 114 million Card Members worldwide, including American Express Card Members in Thailand who on average spend 2.5 times more than card members of other credit card companies.

 

Mr. Marlin Brown, Vice President and Country Manager, American Express in Thailand (said) “As we expand our presence, our Card Members can use their cards at significantly more locations and drive more premium business to local merchants. In addition, we fully expect our Card Members globally to return to Thailand – a top tourist destination – once the pandemic is over, driving even more spending to local merchants.”

Perfect representatives for the electorate. 

 

They get exactly whom they deserve, no more, no less. 

Not exactly right at all! In a proper Democracy, if you are not happy with the Government/PM then you have an election, and the "majority rules" - right? ???? 

 

In this "Democracy", the government is pre loaded with 250 "senators/generals" of the PM's choosing, which gives him/them a healthy (?) advantage in any forthcoming election, which is "what they deserve - no more no less"?

 

So the alternative is what?  You obviously can't change things with the ballot box, any protests are outlawed under the "State of Emergency" (which can be extended for as long as the PM/Government  sees fit) and physical confrontation is doomed to failure (scythes versus tanks?) so what would you suggest as a solution to having a Government that is loaded with millionaires/billionaires that have no one's interests at heart except their own? A serious question, by the way! How would you suggest that the good people of Thailand get a change of Government, if they are not happy with the one that they have?

Considering all your points are demonstrably false , I can only assume you neglected to add a 'sarcasm' emoji to your post.
