  1. I find the comment that the Chinese tourists tended to frequent Chinese businesses, a bit strange. My wife is Chinese and she has helped numerous tourists shopping for high end jewellery in Central Festival. I was in an airport queue with a young Chinese girl in front who had spent over Bht 200,000 on bits and pieces. Though I should also point out the tax refund counters were at a minimum and she was unable to get the tax back, if she wanted to catch her flight a bit convenient I thought. Chinese tourists spent 543.7 Billion Baht in 2019, by far and away the biggest spenders in Thailand, maybe the fact that they are not welcomed influences their decision to vacation elsewhere in place like, I don't know Taiwan!!
  2. Not sure how this is going to work, my wife has spent the last month trying to get a COE, they issued it 3 hours after her flight left, so we're back to square one! I know some encounter no problem, but equally, a lot do I suspect
  3. Suggest that the armchair critics who condemn Sinovac, check out the science journals who endorse the product. Perhaps they can also explain why there are no Covid related deaths in China for a year and the amazing US is recording around 640,000 deaths. Fact is that in Thailand 680,000 health workers were given Sinovac, 618 were later tested as being positive, 600 with no symptoms and the rest with minor, according to the Lancet its 94% effective against infection and 96% effective against severe symptoms requiring hospitalisation In fact I asked for Sinovac and was given Pfizer without an option for change. But hey if you want an expert opinion ask any US politician and inject Hydroxychloroquine as a precaution!!
  4. I live in a small condominium complex and we had 4 cases of covid - called the Chonburi health authorities, who were galvanised into inertia and did nothing, but I guess that we were being reckless in calling However a recent survey concluded that out of 121 countries, Thailand was number 119 as being the worst, no mention of reckless behaviour!! Nikkei COVID-19 Recovery Index - Nikkei Asia Benjamin Franklin once said any fool can criticise, condemn and complain and most fools do; that is why I personally seldom criticise but I have to wonder if he would retract that comment in light of what has taken place here
