Thai people get vaccinated against Covid-19 at Bang Sue Station in Bangkok. (Photo by Bangkok Post Office) On June 15, Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha apologized to the people for delays in the nationwide Covid-19 vaccination program and said there were many reasons for the delay. this late. The Bangkok Post quoted Prayut as saying that the Thai government only received small batches of vaccines, not large batches at the same time. At the same time, vaccine shortages and delay in vaccination schedules only occur at vaccination sites with high vaccination capacity and have used up allotted vaccines. According to Prayut, the distribution of Covid-19 vaccines cannot be done quickly, and the production and quality control of vaccines are very time consuming. Many other countries in the world also have this problem. In addition, Thailand’s vaccination program was also adjusted to speed up the vaccination of high-risk groups in epidemic areas, thereby controlling the epidemic and protecting the activities of health workers. machine. This also affects some people who have previously registered for the Covid-19 vaccine. In addition, the vaccination process also involves many agencies and organizations, and misunderstandings can occur in the immunization coordination process. Prayut said those who had already registered for the vaccine but had their appointment rescheduled would not have to re-register and their registration would remain valid. He said: “As the Prime Minister and Director of the Thai Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), I am the commander-in-chief of the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic in Thailand. I apologize for the problems that have occurred and I will take full responsibility.” Prayut said the government has distributed 7 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine to provinces across the country and so far 6.5 million doses have been administered to people. He affirmed that he also closely follows information about vaccinations and does his best to solve problems that arise. “We will find ways to solve the problems to ensure the maximum benefit for the people and reduce their anxiety,” he said. The Thai government has now ordered 100 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine to immunize about 50 million people, or 70% of the country’s population, this year. Prayut confirmed that Thailand will order more vaccines to be able to increase the number of people vaccinated to 80 to 90% of the population next year.

When “super VIP” (VVIP) customers entered the Krystal Exclusive Club, young women wearing crowns and angel wings quickly rushed out to greet them. These customers are taken to the VVIP room, which is filled with luxurious furniture. Krystal’s customers are rich people, Thai officials or business owners. For this class, the COVID-19 prevention restrictions seem to make no sense. But earlier this year, Krystal and another nightclub in the vicinity, Emerald, became the largest and deadliest outbreak in Thailand, according to Health Ministry officials. Many people related to these two nightclubs have contracted the disease, including those from the upper class. The health authority said that while the majority of Thais strictly adhere to the regulation of wearing masks and restricting gatherings, the privilege of being granted to the elites has caused the COVID-19 epidemic to re-emerge in Bangkok. . The nightclub cluster also highlights class distinctions in one of the countries with the largest wealth gap between major economies. Thailand is one of the countries with a huge gap between rich and poor. In the photo, the Khlong Toey slum is located below the tall buildings. Photo: Bangkok Post Thailand has gone many months without a case in the community. But now, the disease has spread from luxury nightclubs, which cater to powerful and wealthy men, to the slums adjacent to highways and railways in Bangkok. In these cramped areas, keeping your distance is nearly impossible. The wave of the disease has also spread to prisons, construction sites and factories. Sittichat Angkhasittisiri, head of a community in the capital’s largest slum – Khlong Toey, said bitterly: “The rich party, and the poor suffer the consequences.” There is no way the epidemic wave has penetrated Khlong Toey yet. But according to Mr. Sittichat, a man living in Khlong Toey met a friend who had attended a party at the Krystal outbreak. After feeling unwell, the man quarantined himself in his car because he had nowhere else to go. But he was able to infect three other people, causing the disease to spread in the slums where thousands of people lived. “Officials say quarantine is necessary, but that is with the rich. Our house is too small to be isolated,” Sittichat said. A boy in Khlong Toey carries a backpack to an ambulance. Photo: Bangkok Post Before November 2020, the total number of COVID-19 cases in Thailand was less than 5,000. But by the end of May 2021, Thailand recorded more than 5,800 new cases of COVID-19 in just one day. The total number of cases currently in Thailand is about 175,000 cases. “Gone are the days when the World Health Organization (WHO) praised Thailand for its campaign against COVID-19,” the newspaper said. Bangkok Post write. The resurgence of COVID-19 in Thailand is part of an epidemic wave sweeping through Southeast Asia. Thailand mainly relies on locally produced AstraZeneca vaccines. The company that makes AstraZeneca has never made a vaccine before. The “phuyai”, known as the “elite” in Thailand, can travel abroad to get vaccinated. The Russian vaccine tour costing 220,000 baht (equivalent to nearly 150 million VND) in Thailand has been fully booked until July. Meanwhile, poorer people are struggling with the epidemic. Many people have to wait to be treated in government makeshift hospitals. Mutita Thongsopa, a dairy company employee who came to Bangkok to support her family, said: “Society is very, very unequal. The phuyai destroyed the anti-COVID-19 campaign, and we, the little ones, we can’t live.” On April 27, Mutita’s older sister, Supatra Thongsopa, a 40-year-old grocery worker, arrived at the government testing center at 3am to line up. Supatra waited that whole day, then two more days later. While waiting, Supatra texted her sister complaining of fatigue and stomach problems. On May 1, Supatra was tested. The result was positive, and she died five days later. Supatra’s boyfriend, who also has COVID-19, is still being treated in the hospital. “They die like autumn leaves,” says Mutita. Although a Bangkok court sentenced the managers of two nightclubs Krystal and Emerald to two months in prison for violating epidemic prevention regulations, so far no one else has been held responsible for the epidemic. outbreak again in Thailand. Although considered poor, the people of Khlong Toey slum are an important labor force in Bangkok. They are delivery people, delivering food. Their motorbikes crept past the Mercedes lined up on the road. They are construction workers of luxury apartment buildings and commercial centers. Their market provides Bangkok with fresh vegetables, fruits and seafood. Unemployment, already high due to Thailand’s border closure, has skyrocketed in Khlong Toey. To survive, some families have had to sell vaccination cards they received as residents of high-risk areas. Some wealthy Bangkok residents have bragged on social media about buying vaccination cards from the city’s most desperate residents. Thailand today, June 7, started an expanded vaccination campaign Less than 2% of the country’s population has been vaccinated with two doses.

“Tigers save energy most of the day by lying down or using as little strength as possible,” said Patchara, the coordinator. But if it gets too hot, they start panting like a dog or a cat to avoid sunstroke. A tiger is playing in a swimming pool at Tiger Kingdom Zoo in Chiang Mai on March 31st. Photo: Reuters. “We usually organize them to do some activity in the lake or play with toys to help them cool down,” adds Patchara. According to the zoo’s representative, twice a day during the hot summer months, the lions are fed ice-coated chicken. Tiger Kingdom in Chiang Mai is a conservation area nurturing tigers, including rare white tigers. This zoo adopts and takes care of tigers from birth to adulthood. The hot season in Thailand begins in late February, and temperatures are expected to continue to rise higher in the near future.

In front of the camera, a girl held an iced latte in her hand, trying to pose nonchalantly. Another girl was annoyed at her boyfriend because she had not taken a satisfactory photo. Not at the professional studio, this is the scene that takes place at the newly opened Patina cafe in January in Bangkok’s old town, according to Nikkei Asia. Searching by hashtag on Instagram, hundreds of images of young Thai people in stylish outfits can be seen, leaning over antique furniture or posing “virtual life” under crystal chandeliers. According to the author, although the quality of the drink is quite poor, the Patina Café still attracts photographers and young people who love to rush in on weekends. Photo: Chris Schalkx. Similar scenes take place at many of the most upscale cafes across Thailand. At the cafe a block away from Patina, everyone waited anxiously for their turn to pose at the fun graffiti at the entrance. The photos are then edited and posted on social media. The “cafehopping” trend in Thailand is like a sport. Every weekend, thousands of young Thai people with photographic equipment flock to Bangkok’s cafes to check-in in a variety of styles. Some go to six cafes a day, creating a series of check-in moments as if there was an underground race to see who was the first to discover the new “virtual living” location. The leaders of this race become “cafe influencer” and can receive a large amount of money for advertising posts on Instagram. The image is often found in cafes throughout Bangkok. Photo: Chris Schalkx Nowadays, cafes in Thailand are as much as street food. There are new shops open on the street almost every week. Small breweries and coffee testers sprouted like mushrooms. Home-grown coffee is also gaining popularity again, with specialty kiosks and home delivery services from small-scale farms in Thailand’s northern mountainous regions. However, what attracts customers is mainly the eye-catching in the layout, not the quality of the coffee. Many shops advertise beautiful photo corners or “zodiac” hours to have satisfactory photos posted online. Some places also arrange photo booths to attract customers. Many people can go to many cafes during the day to have beautiful photos posted online. Photo: @mimitober. Based on the crowd’s reaction, this advertising tactic seems to be quite effective. Eric Chan, co-owner of the famous Sarnies coffee shop in Bangkok, said: “I think it’s great that influencers in the ‘cafehopping’ world make cafes more popular”. However, some shop owners sighed when asked about their feelings before this trend. Natruja Threekhunwatana, manager of The Somchai in Thonglor, one of Bangkok’s trendiest neighborhoods, said: “When we opened it, everyone came in eagerly. They carry both suitcases of clothes and change in the toilet. It’s hard to manage. We don’t even have tables available for new guests. After that, we decided to ban taking photos for a while. Steven Lim, who co-owns the Luka cafe in the Sathorn district, often sees the same scene. “Even shopping websites secretly take photos at my shop. They brought both the truck and the model, ”he recalls. It is undeniable that Thailand’s coffee culture is developing very quickly. But for many young people here, having a “virtual live” wallpaper posted on social networks is still more important than enjoying and appreciating the taste of the drink.

The small and elongated boats loaded with the high and low canoes on the canal almost caused congestion. There are people who buy all kinds of goods from the shore to the boat and plug the pole to receive money and deliver the goods bought to customers.

The canal that created the floating market was formed in 1866 at the request of the king to facilitate the move here. The floating market started operating in 1967 and until now this place is always full of tourists from all over.
