It was necessary to make a trip to BKK today. In particular to Nong Kaam, via Samut Sakhon and Kratum Baen. Despite travelling through the epicenter, I saw no sign anywhere of Covid checks. I thought there'd be at least a token check point going into Samut Sakhon.

I will add that while I was there, it was two masks and keeping as far away as possible from anything that moves!

You are in the majority. I guess an average of 100 English speakers watch daily. However, sticking your head in the sand is no excuse for ignorance e.g. the party goers on Koh Phangan recently tried to play the ignorance card in court, and now probably feel pretty P'd off that it didn't work. The 31st Jan brief goes a long way to telling everybody that it is their responsibility to keep abreast of what is happening inside the country, and ignorance will not be accepted in mitigation.

In other words, ignorance is not bliss, it's ignorant.

It would appear that Thailand is going to introduce mass vaccinations this year, assuming the attached article is correct

Cambodia begins Covid-19 vaccinations with shots for PM's sons, ministers
Cambodia launched its coronavirus inoculation drive on Wednesday, using 600,000 vaccine doses donated by China, with the sons of long-serving Prime Minister Hun Sen and government ministers among the first recipients.

The nation of about 16 million has managed to limit the spread of the disease, reporting just 478 infections and no deaths, although a rare cluster of cases emerged in November.

Hun Sen had vowed to take the first dose, but later said that at 68 he was above the age to get the vaccine, made by Sinopharm. His sons and the justice and environment ministers were among the first to get it instead.

"I feel even more confident that I have a defence system in my body against Covid," said Hun Manet, the prime minister's eldest son, flashing a thumbs-up sign at the Calmette Hospital in Phnom Penh.

Doctors had advised Hun Manet, a deputy commander of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces, not to eat seafood or drink alcohol after taking the vaccine, he told reporters, urging them to also get shots.

China's first consignment of 600,000 doses had arrived in Phnom Penh on Sunday by special airplane, most of them earmarked for health workers and the military.

You can bet your bottom baht Thailand's military leaders and their cronies will be first in line too ... when they finally get them here ...

Special stipulations concerning Chinese vaccine? I've never read about that before. :shock:
