    Do they require the KR3 (confirmation of marriage document) too?

    I've lived full time in Buriram since 2004. I have always maintained proper Thai medical health insurance. I have a choice this week to go see Dr. Boy at Ram Ekachon Private hospital to pay for a Covid 19 vaccination. Not Moderna, Not Pfizer, Not Johnson & Johnson. I went this week and received my first does of Sinovac vaccination with 2500 other people in an orderly fashion at Chang International Circuit. It was efficient, friendly, professional, and at no charge. I am fully confident that June 7th onward that locally produced under license AstraZeneca vaccines will be widely available in Buriram. The racetrack was closed last Monday and may be closed on Mondays. If I owned a hotel, restaurant, pub or retail store it would be prudent to incentify my staff to obtain Covid 19 vaccinations sooner than later.  I recall a few months back where all restaurant employees had to go to a hospital for Covid 19 TESTS and show written proof of the tests before the restaurant was allowed to reopen. Public safety comes to my mind.

    I am told that the private hospital in Buriram will sell "American" brands of Covid 19 vaccine in MAYBE October. We all make choices, and if you own a business you make calculated choices. I would wager business owners will make informed choices in Buriram. I look forward to when pubs can open and alcohol can be served in Buriram. I did my part this week at the Racetrack. You can phone or visit the Buriram Government Hospital or the private Ram Hospital to see when you as an expat can receive a particular brand of Covid 19 vaccination. I took the easy route and drove to the racetrack.  You make your own choices. The shot did not hurt and I have experienced no side effects.

    This, and also the fact that Thailand has lost its veneer, even before CVD19 struck. Also I am sure the less-than-friendly gestures, narratives and undertones towards foreigners (particularly westerners), as well as half-ar$ed and insincere attempts, did not go unnoticed. My guess is, tourism in Thailand was already on a down-cycle, despite the grovelling at China's feet, pre-CVD19. CVD19 just accelerated it.

     

    Of course, it could work in their favour if the day to day stories of tourists being fleeced have become old news. I'd like to see some action taken when the country does re-open to tackle to scams and reset the reputation. The future could be very bright with clean beaches and businesses hungry for customers (plus some ladies in need of cash!)

    That’s a million + with real symptoms- Poverty . Rather more than would suffer long term effects from Covid. As a sense of relative proportion,72 died on the roads on Monday but no one proposing shutting down the road network. 

    Are you sure they’re living in poverty? Where I live, in Isaan, most have returned to family and are continuing normal lives, working where they can. It’s not a good situation but it’s not as bad as you’re making out. Thai families and communities are good at pulling together in tough times.
