As I said earlier: "you don't need to listen to rumours when there are enough official contradictory official statements around."

You don't need to listen to rumours when there are enough official contradictory official statements around. Cherry pick which one you like.

I used to believe Enid Blyton too.

Indeed z909, I was just quoting those two as the most blatant that I come across.

One problem here is that people who only quickly scan headlines assume that the headline reflects the whole story. This results in various contradictory stories on the same day. Something that those of us who have lived here '20 years plus' have sussed out. We read beyond the headline to find that it is just a suggestion being brought up in some sub-committee but the headline suggests that it is an imminent law change. This is a method used by the U.K.'s gutter press like the Daily Mail or Express to grab clicks.

From Bangkok Post today -- u-turn or 360 degree turn? Starting Oct 1, only those who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 or have a negative antigen test result will be allowed to dine-in at restaurants and seek out services deemed a high risk for virus transmission in "dark red" provinces, where maximum Covid-19 restrictions apply.

No. Because to many Thais, GAY means bottom, ladyboy, queen etc. Many will answer with "No I am man" meaning "i am gay but top" etc.

Yes size does matter -- big is ugly. Also makes me feel inferior😃

It look as though our beloved Deputy Dictator has been telling porky pies about his deal with AZ and only ordered 30% of what he claims.

Don't wake them up. I first saw this censoring delay during the 'shirt' demonstrations. Objections at the time brought a denial from the government 'nothing to do with us guv'. They claimed that it was TRUE doing it off their own back.

I wonder what brought the misnamed Spanish Flu to an end in 1920. No vaccines in those days. They did use very crude masks.

I don't understand why there aren't vaccine 'factories' springing up all over the world as there is going to be a huge demand for vaccines in the long term. Of course there is enough money in private bank accounts here and abroad (!) to set up more manufacturing facilities as well as a public health service to put the UK's NHS to shame.

And today 2 more. Two children aged 8 and 9.

According to an email I received between the end of October and March 2020! BUT reports in the papers today that the government has done nothing so far to order Moderna.

Yes all in Thai -- there is a Thai/Eng button that does absolutely nothing.

Any idea Oz how to get registered in Bangkok? Thaiintervac not working. I live in Bangkok.

Today, I received an email invitation to register and pay in advance for a pair of Moderna vaccinations. End of October - March 2022! MedPark Hospital is accepting registration for alternative vaccine MODERNA (mRNA Technology) for 3,300 THB (2 doses), available for anyone aged 18 and above. Details, registration, and payment available here: https://medpark.hospital/Moderna The expected arrival date of the vaccine is approximately at end of October 2021 - 31 March 2022, as allocated by GPO.

Only a few years ago almost daily reports in the Post of Bangkok vocational students in shooting incidents on Bangkok busses. Haven't seen it for ages now.

Peter, have you considered looking closely into the background of the final Bangkok Pride a few years ago? You might find some explanations there as to why there have been no more. No rumour mongers please.

A chance to get a first jab would be nice.

Londoner - you do realise that the dictator here is affectionately known as 'Pinocchio'?.

Sorry, I meant not sold in restaurants and bars etc. If businesses are to close like the rest of Thailand at 8 or 9 then Phuket after dark will be a sad place.

Especially if the were still to be no alcohol.

Hear hear. Please keep at least this thread on topic. Let's know if any expats actually get real appointments (mine seems to be 1st of Jan. 1970) and jabs.
