[Contact tracing apps now COMPULSORY in Thailand - possible penalties for people not using them]

Are we sure all the Burmese that travel back and forth frequently have an acceptable smartphone, Thai SIM and are using the proper app? Whose name is their phone registered in?

You don't know these people at all  just because you have seen them or know of them but you are using their existence to  be obstructive. Their lack of mobile phone is not your business or concern. Your main priority is to agree and commit to cooperation with the authorities in this matter and stop trying to be clever. If you genuinely feel so strongly about it....go and complain at your local police station.

Any country will be lucky to get 80% of their population jabbed.  Some can't take it, others (sadly) will refuse.

Still a bit short wouldn't you say? 

[Thailand to get 2m doses of vaccine from Feb: Anutin]

2 million? And how many need to be vaccinated? 70 million? A bit short. Must be holding off until Thailand produces a vaccine so profit can be made

It will get you if drinking but not if you are eating food.

So you don't get frisky and get too close and maybe even let your mask drop because you are smashed. Not a perfect solution but better than nothing.

So you eat with a mask in place? I am not a big drinker but this is silly. Frisky?
