Confusion reigns over the effectiveness of a Chinese Covid-19 vaccine due to be rolled out in Thailand next month. Thailand has ordered 2 million doses of the Sinovac Biotech vaccine. The rollout of this particular vaccine among high-risk groups in Indonesia will start this week. However, questions now hang over the vaccine’s efficacy rate, originally reported as 78% in trials in Brazil but more recently downgraded to just over 50%. In total, 4 different rates of effectiveness have been published. In Indonesia data from a local trial indicates an efficacy rate of 65%. However, with only 1,620 participants, the trial is considered too small for the data to have much value. Last month, Turkey reported an efficacy rate of 91.25% in its trials, but the sample size was again deemed too small. The largest trial of the Chinese vaccine has been in Brazil, with 13,000 participants. There are, however, 2 quite different efficacy rates have been reported. It’s not the first time there ... » Learn More about Thailand News Today | Chinese vaccine, Thailand ‘drug hub’, Covid update | January 13

CORRECTION: In the first story Jett referred to a Chinese man losing 130 billion baht. The correct amount was 130 million baht. We apologise for the error. Hundreds, perhaps more than 400, investors have been defrauded by a bank manager at a Kasikorn bank branch in Pattaya. The manager, named in a police report as “Mr. Gob”, was promising investors 3.5% interest, per month, yes… PER MONTH… for cash investments. It appears his high interest rate attracted hundreds of people wanting to take advantage of the generous terms. One investor, who only found out about the scam yesterday when he visited the branch for his monthly rolling over of funds, told The Thaiger that he has lost 250,000 baht at this stage, with no official response from the Kasikorn head office in Bangkok yet being made about the situation. Mr B, who has asked us to protect his identity, knows of some investors who invested many millions of baht and even one Chinese man who had allegedly invested 130 million ... » Learn More about Thailand News Today | Pattaya bank scam & Burmese coup update | February 2

The Tourism Authority has said Thailand should have a clear-cut plan on a vaccine passport by June if plans to reopen the international market by the fourth quarter are kept. Siripakorn Cheawsamoot, Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) deputy governor told the Bangkok Post that the government policy would have a tremendous effect towards international market plans. Particularly on the long-haul market, which is progressing rapidly in terms of mass vaccination programmes. The opinions of overseas agents and recent surveys in key markets showed tourists are ready to be inoculated or participate within a vaccine passport policy if this would allow them to travel abroad once again, he said. “TAT plans to bring back international tourists by the fourth quarter but that will depend largely on our policy development too,” Mr Siripakorn said. In order to achieve the target, the country should start soft launches in two phases. Marketing campaigns launched before the third quarter, ... » Learn More about Tourism Authority to Have Clear-cut Plan on a Vaccine Passport by June

Chiang Rai – This beautiful city in Thailand has a history that goes further back than its more than three-decade duration as the capital of the Lanna Kingdom. It is considered one of the oldest settlements in Thailand.

Fathers Day, is a day that we all need to celebrate, in order for us to recognise and appreciate the challenges that fatherhood brings. Being a dad is a hard job, and the whole family looks to you, to be the provider and a guide for the whole family unit. Not only does dad have to hold down a full-time job, but he is also expected to help out when he arrives home, after a hard day’s work. This is what is expected of the modern father, and he is ready and willing to accept the responsibility. Generally speaking, dad gets to be the disciplinarian in the home, so he has to be the good guy, and the bad guy. It is an incredibly difficult job indeed, and one that we all need to be thankful for. This is why on dad’s big day, you need to get him something special, and something quite unique. You could go out and buy him the typical presents which amounts to socks, pants, or aftershave. But he has already received his fair share of these at Christmas or New Year’s, and so it’s time for you ... » Learn More about The Great Importance Of Fathers Day & How We Celebrate It
