In Bangkok (Thailand), the Covid-19 pandemic has occurred since April 2021 due to failure and suspicious vaccination-related decision-making by the government.
Since that Thai people have lived in a hopeless situation, people died in their own houses even worse they died on the street because the hospitals can’t afford to accept the patients anymore. Not only that, many businesses have to shut down as a result of executing a full lock-down policy by the government.
Until recent months, the situation gradually better. Because we received effective vaccines from other countries through donations. Finally, the government decided to loose a full lock-down policy afterward.
After I acknowledged the announcement, I started to walk around the neighborhood where I have a chance to visit the newly opened market, at this place I was captivated by the diversities of races, age, expectations, even adaptation that occurred here surprisingly.
I’m not sure what kind of future is waiting for Thai people, but at least please don’t get any worse, we’re trying our best now.
