Daily News reported that comment online was rife after a tour company promoted a trip to the United States with a Johnson and Johnson vaccine as part of the deal.

 

For as little as 76,000 baht for ten days seven nights (in a group booking) you could fly to San Francisco under the "Chim Chop Chiit" tour.

 

This is a play on a promotion that took place in Thailand last year and translates as "Eat Shop and get vaccinated". 

 

Hotels, Sprinter car and driver, visits to tourism places, breakfast, vaccine charges and insurance were all included.

As were all arrangements for the all important return trip to Thailand arranged through the Thai embassy in the US. 

 

Potential travellers were enticed by thoughts of going to the Golden Gate Bridge, Twin Peaks, shopping in Union Square - then the all important J and J vax - then a spell on the beaches of Santa Barbara and Malibu before returning happy and most importantly, vaccinated to Thailand. 

 

Daily News said that many people found this most amusing.
