    They may have started with Sinovac, but the current figures for vaccine doses administered are:

    • Astra Zeneca 49 million
    • Pfizer 48 million
    • Sinovac 27 million
    • Sinopharm 15 million
    • Moderna 7 million

    80% of the population have had two jabs, 40% have had three, 10% have had four. 

    Stocky,

    I can see where the figures come from and are pleased that over 100 million Thais' have been given some modicum  of protection. 

     

    I'm still concerned for everyone here when travel opens up for 1 billion, 412 million tourists with only the Sino  twins for vaccines and a great desire to be first in the buffet line.

     

    They can overwhelm the Thai medical system in a few days.. 

     

    I think the whole world is giving maximum attention to this issue.  It looks like every country is putting up restrictions

    I've had four jabs (2x AZ, 1x Moderna, 1x Pfizer) but I still caught Covid last month after a trip to Malaysia.

     

    Same here.  4Pfizer and caught Covid last spring.  It was pretty easy going though and I just self isolated till it cleared up.  I gather Faucci was correct, it does not confer immunity but helps to keep you out of the morgue.

    Covid comes and goes. Only the Chinese were stupid enough to think that you can keep C out. The rest of the world was stupid but could find some common sense.

     Xi is just suffering from a classic education ... He thinks he is King Canute

  3. Recent data from Italy back up the assessment that China's daily Covid count might be closer to 1 million. Citing the Italian Ministry of Health, American news outlet Bloomberg noted roughly 50% of Chinese travelers entering Italy were testing positive for Covid-19.

     

    This is what the authorities are welcoming???

     

    I'm not promoting a view on pro or anti vaxxing.  I'm just concerned for the millions of Thai people that put their faith in their government and got Sinovax vaccines.

    Now you have me wondering what you mean with bene lades. "Bene" is Italian, but  "lades" is not.

    Bene is multicultural..   It's been a few years (decades) since I used it as Spanish for "well chilled", but the bartender always knew what I was saying and would have a few bottles of Pacifico in an ice bucket for me.

     

    Some good memories in there.

  5. May not have anything to do with this

     

    Tim Newton mentioned forged documentation was found by TIT.  One country (that shall remain nameless)  seems to be the problem.  It may be a problem for everyone as immigration is now checking and rechecking everything they can.

     

    Tim didn't lead with that story or put particular emphasis on it, so just take it for speculation

  6. There is gain with a Thai massage.  The comfort and good feeling tend to come after the massage is over.  A gentle walk say one or two kilometers after seems to extend the benefits., for me anyway.

    An oil massage offers instant comfort and little benefit, again, for me anyway

    There is a third option that combines the two. A Thai (supposedly) massage with a bit of oil.  I find that this option offers the worst of all worlds.  Little comfort from the oil and much less benefit from the Thai.

    Just before I got tossed out of LOS last time I started trying (when I could take the time) a one hour Thai massage followed by a one hour oil massage with a different masseuse.(same shop)  I brought a bottle of high SPF lotion with me so the masseuse could give me a final coat so to speak.  After I finished I took about a one hour stroll up and down the beach.

    After the stroll, I find a little larynx exercise is in order.  Pass the contents of at least two well chilled (bene lades) bottles of San Miguel over the larynx.  The benefits are almost immediate.

    What would they do with the impounded yachts?

    I'd prefer they impose a 1000% super tax on super yacht berthing fees.

    That makes more sense.  This is a "Be very careful what you wish for" situation.

    Even if these yachts turn out to be "quayside queens" basic maintenance to them can easily run three to five million US dollars per year..  That's mostly just to keep them afloat and doesn't even cover the cost of restocking the caviar.

     

    Given Thailands international reputation for continuous, exhaustive, attention to detail over an extended time frame .......  What could possibly go wrong???

  8. They most likely won't article five the situation.

     

    Russia is so short of any precision missiles that it looks like they missed the whole dam country (Ukraine) with two of the missiles.

    That being said, they HAVE engaged in hostile acts against a NATO country causing damage and murdered two of its' sovereign citizens.

     

    I think Thailand will have to make a decision quickly.  Whose side are they on???  Claiming neutrality while welcoming hundreds of thousand of belligerents  Is not going to be a tenable position.  The quarantine facilities would work well as a place to house the incoming Russians  until Aeroflot is no longer allowed to land here except to pick up detainees and deliver them to the loving arms of the Rodina.

     

    If the Russians don't agree with and want to effect change in  a country let them start with their own.

  10. Father time is not "sneaking" anywhere.  He's roaring up the boulevard with "The four horsemen" and all of the Valkyries.  They're all riding Harley Fat boys with straight pipes.  Subtle is not their forte'

    I'll meet them when they arrive.  In the mean time I really enjoy getting up on the green side of the grass.
