Had booked my Moderna vaccine months ago which is supposed to arrive in October. Looking at the current situation (1) Delta variant spreading, (2) the government's interference in private hospital buying of vaccines, (3) lies and more lies from government's promises my conclusion is its too risky to wait for the promised Moderna if it will ever come in October at all. So last week decided to go for Sinopharm as an interim measure while waiting for Moderna.
Today went to have my first shot of Sinopharm
Arriving at the hospital it was quiet and not many people
No chaos, everything in order
After registration queue for injection
Injection room
Finally got my jab
Second injection appointment 4 weeks away

Bangkok launches 23 community isolation centres, 30 more on way
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has set up 23 Community Isolation Centres with room for 3,390 Covid-19 patients and will open another 30 centres by early next month, BMA governor Aswin Kwanmuang said on Friday.
“Another 30 centres will be ready by the end of July or the beginning of August. A total of 6,013 beds will be provided for patients unable to home isolate,” said Aswin.
The isolation centres are being opened for asymptomatic and mild cases in Bangkok, which reported 3,104 new infections on Friday
The 30 unfinished centres are currently being fitted with features to ensure safety and hygiene for medical staff and patients, he added.
Aswin said the BMA plans to open at least one centre in every district, with security provided by municipal officials and police officers.

They will announce the registration availability over TV and the internet, but it's really no help because the website is always crashing... Nothing ever goes as planned in Thailand. The best route on vaccination is through companies that secure the doses for their staff.
thank you

Foodpanda faces backlash after calling Thai protest 'terrorism'
Remark proves costly in competitive food delivery market despite apologies
A boycott could deal a heavy blow to Foodpanda at a time when Thailand's third COVID-19 wave forces restaurants to serve only takeout.
BANGKOK -- Asian food delivery giant Foodpanda has become the target of a boycott by pro-democracy protesters in Thailand after the subsidiary of Frankfurt-listed Delivery Hero made a remark against rallygoers' freedom of speech.
On Monday, #BanFoodpanda was listed for a second straight day as one of the most trending hashtags in Southeast Asia's second-largest economy. Over a million tweets were made using the hashtag.
A boycott could deal a heavy blow to the food delivery operator in a highly competitive market. The country's third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic has forced restaurants in affected provinces, including Bangkok, to serve only takeout. Foodpanda could miss out as competitors ride high. https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Fo...backlash-after-calling-Thai-protest-terrorism

Crush at Bang Sue vaccination centre sparks virus fears
Overcrowding sparked fears of cluster outbreaks at Bangkok’s main vaccination centre on Tuesday, after people from other provinces rushed to get injected before the walk-in measure is scrapped.
The Bang Sue Vaccination Centre was packed all day, as people took advantage of public holidays to travel to the capital for a jab.
The centre was open to senior citizens for walk-in appointments and to people from other provinces who had pre-booked their jab.
Among the crowds were people from Prachuap Khiri Khan, Samut Sakhon, Saraburi, Ratchaburi, Nakhon Pathom, Lop Buri, Chainat, Phichit and Ang Thong. Monks from Phra Phutthabat temple in Saraburi had also made the journey for a jab.
People queuing at the centre said they had left their provinces early in the morning via pre-booked vans. Some were disappointed after being turned away because they did not meet criteria for vaccination. Many were seen pleading with officials for a jab. Others even wandered around asking if they could pose as carers for elderly people in order to be vaccinated.
The centre announced that it would suspend walk-in appointments from Thursday (July 29) and receive only people who have registered via the mobile network.
