  1. I have been living in Chiang Rai for 12 years at Doi Hang. I moved here from Phuket. I find living quality here very nice. The neighbours are kind and helpful. I have 5 Rai gated with two big fish ponds. Except for church and shopping I stay at home most of the time. The hot springs are nice. For the past two years I have not seen any air pollution. The language is difficult as it is a mixture of Esaan and Northern Thai. I studied central Thai for one year in Bangkok. People are kind enough to switch from the local dialect to Central Thai for me.
  2. Sinovac does not work against the Delta Variant. I am told that Delta is the main virus now.
  3. Some one needs to tell the Minister that Sinovac does not cover the Delta Variant. Is there a Chinese agent involved?
  4. He will continue to buy more Sinovac from China which does not cover the Delta Variant.
  5. If Sinovac does not cover the Delta variant why does the government keep on buying and giving to people. Seems like the Chinese are controlling the situation. Why not order from the USA? The US has already provided free 2.5 million doses but no one knows where it went to.
  6. I am told that Sinovac does not cover the Delta Variant so it is a big waste of time and money.
  7. China gives you something free it is not worth much. More Sinovac ordered from China. Is there a love affair or brown envelopes?
  8. Brown envelopes are a major reason for buying Sinovac. I doubt that AZ is being manufactured for no profit. Why would they want to produce a quality vaccine in demand for no profit? For sure the AZ plant in Bangkok is not operating for cost only. They are selling to neighbor countries and not meeting the needs of Thailand. The PM has asked them to stop shipping overseas.
  9. Little do they know that Sinovac is very weak. For these countries cheap is best. Why would they order Sinovac?
  10. Where did the 2.5m doses of Pfizer vaccine that was given by the USA go? They keep on ordering Sinovac which has a very low effectivity. Why not order from Europe or the USA?
  11. Sinovac was tried extensively in Brazil and it failed. Europe and the USA do not need this trash. They have reliable vaccines. The villages in north Thailand are being offered Sinovac only for the first dose. God only knows what they will offer us for the second dose. The government has failed to protect the people. Too many brown envelopes. They have just placed another big order for Sinovac.
  12. Why does the government keep buying Sinovac from China when they can get the good vaccine from the USA?
  13. Prayut can call a state of emergency and do about anything he wants to. However, shipping overseas brings a lot of T money. I heard that an order went out that all first shots had to be Sinovac. More Chinese T money. Sinovac is like Chinese salt water. If you want to get vaccinated now only Sinovac is available for the the first jab.
  14. Be ware that the government wants to dump millions of doses of Chines Sinovac. I am told that Sinovac is less than 20% effective. I read in the Bangkok Post where 600 health care workers had taken 2 doses of Sinovac and came down with the virus. Yesterday I went to a large public gathering of Chiang Rai residents for public vaccination. When we arrived there we learned that the only thing the government had was Sinovac. The neighborhood clinic told us to go there to get Pfizer vaccine. I doubt that any Pfizer donated by the USA will ever leave Bangkok. We walked away.
  15. Went to get the Pfizer vaccine today at the Chiang Rai OBJ. All they had was Sinovac. Most people do not realize that Sinovac does not cover the Delta Variant which is mostly in circulation now. Thailand has purchased millions of doses of Sinovac which is useless against the Delta Variant. It does cover the A Variant. Not sure but I think Thailand has already purchased 50 million doses of Sinovac which is worthless against the Delta Variant. I have an appointment on August 23 at Mae Fah Luang University Hospital for the Astro Vaccine. It is effective against the Delta Variant. Guess I will have to wait.
  16. Have you ever seen a more screwed up mess? It will take years to clear things and get Thailand vaccinated. I am still waiting in Chiang Rai as they will not give vaccine to farangs until all Thais are vaccinated. I have a PR permit but it makes no difference.
  17. The doctor in Chiang Rai said foreigner would not receive vaccinations until all of the Thais have been vaccinated. Also, none available in private hospitals. My wife went to a mass vaccination today and for people under 60 all they had was Chinese Sinovac. She told them no thank you as it does not cover variant G. I have an appointment at the university hospital for August 23. The waiting time is 2 months. God only knows if they will have the vaccine. Time for Sinovac to be stopped. 600 people in Bangkok had both doses and still contacted the virus. Really sucks! The government needs to stop buying Sinovac!
  18. The border with Burma is 2000 miles long. How can Thailand control the border this long? The Laos border is 1146 miles. How many border patrol would it take to control a total of 3146 miles?
  19. Doctor in Chiang Rai says there will be not vaccine for farangs until all of the Thais are vaccinated. He failed to mention that the vaccine came from the USA.
  20. If the government continues to sell the output of the vaccine to neighbor countries there will never be enough to vaccine local people. I have tried to get vaccinated and I am told that until all the Thais are finished we don't have anything for farangs. Sinovac has proven to be almost worthless but they keep buying from China. What is wrong with the good stuff from Europe and the USA?
  21. In Chiang Rai Province there is no vaccine. The Mae Fah Luang Hospital has given me an appointment on August 23. This assumes that they will have vaccine then. Unless Thailand stops shipping the vaccine to neighbor countries thee will never be enough for the local residents. Why the government wants to ship it out is beyond me. I Chiang Rai Province there is not one dose of the vaccine available. The 1.5 million doses provided by the USA will never get past Bangkok. The USA gift specified that 20% must go to foreigners.
  22. The government refuses to supply vaccine for the people. There is no end to this problem as long as there is no vaccine for people up country except the useless Chinese Sinovac. The USA 1.5 million doses is consumed by Bangkok. In Chiang Rai there is not one dose available. Sinovac is reported not to be effective against the Delta variant. What will they do with the 25 million doses ordered from China?
  23. What about us poor devils up country? The US sen 1.5 doses free specifying that 20% are for foreigners. I am assuming that Bangkok will get it all. In Chiang Rai there is not one dose of vaccine. Maybe it was sold to another country.
