Popular Post happy chappie Posted January 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2021 Total bs if you ask me,1 he’s the only person of authority who’s vaccinating by area rather the every other country who are doing it by age,health issues,health workers and probably against the instruction of the companies who are providing the vaccine.2 never would the Thai give farang something for free when they can send you to a private hospital to be washed,rinsed and mangled for big bucks.the only fella getting it free is me as I’m in the Uk. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandRyan Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Maybe the pressure the central governments needs to vaccinate all in the country that wish to be vaccinated. If there is a nominal cost then so be it, but at least it sounds like an area in Phuket is on the right track. I know they want tourism back and want to ensure the arriving folks whether it be international or domestic tourists are provided a safe environment, well as safe as possible by ensuring the residents living in at least Chalong are vaccinated. I lived there near Wat Chalong for a few years before moving to Rawaii, and then North to Udon before moving to where I am now in BKK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a typical Thaigeezer reaction. The commentators (Kopitam excepted?) are not even Phuket based so completely unaffected, as are most of the other irrelevant comments. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
