Posts: 1056Germany Set to Expel Thai King
It seems the Thai king is running out of Bavarian road and he might be asked to bugger back home to Nana Plaza. It seems the colour coded revolution cannot be too far away. God knows what is happening in the shadows but I fear a big blow up is on the way between the red and yellow shirts. It makes a change from EPL football.

Posts: 1056Pornhub Banned in Thailand
Here is links to a danish story (there are plenty in English but you should learn a second language https://ekstrabladet.dk/flash/livsst...ailand/8352884) telling us Pornhub, one of Thailand's most popular sites, is blocked.
Please note on the Danish site there are women protesting about the ban. Why are Thai women protesting against Pornhub being banned?

Understand that most developments here don't even break ground until they have sold 50-70%.
As to a 20 year residence that can only be sales puff. Residence status is permanent in Thailand (and difficult to get). Maybe they were offering the top level Thai Elite (4 times 5 years for 2 mil) as the sweetener?

Posts: 6308The Condo Association is trying to push a program where anyone who buys a condo worth 10 million baht receives residency status in Thailand. I'm sure most of you guys are richer than I am and can afford the $321k US price tag to get to go to Thailand.
I'm trying to understand these proposals. Rich people don't have COVID I guess.

Do as you please, but you are not the one making the rules in this case.
BTW, I just returned from 4 months in the USA.

Posts: 6308Has anyone here taken a post-COVID international flight? Just wondering if there is still full meal service and beverages? If so, does that mean that whenever you have any sort of food or drink in your hand you do not need to wear a facemask? If so, I'll just be holding a bottled water in my hand the entire time. You're supposed to drink something every 10 minutes anyways to limit your chances on getting COVID.
Also, what constitutes a face mask? Does a face shield or neck gaiter qualify as a mask?

Posts: 280Thought I would throw my information in as well. I have been flying Cathay almost exclusively for the last 25 or so trips. Mostly I have managed to fly business using AA miles, asia miles, or points from citi or chase. I have also done the purchase AA miles to use them for cathay redemption which works out to RT business for a little over $2 k USD, NYC. BKK.
I also agree you should minimize connections as much as possible. I take the train, sometimes amtrak to LIRR to Airtrain to JFK just to avoid a connection and it's worth it to fly direct JFK-HKG even if it's costing me extra. Also key is to have some type of lounge access whether due to status or flight class or something like priority pass from a credit card. Having a more relaxed place to be before a flight or being able to shower when arriving is the perfect setup to being ready to go on arrival.
Personally I actually like the 15 hour flight compared to a flight of 6+. The reason for it is that I know I have 15 hours of peace without any news or internet. I can focus on a bad movie or a good book and both are rewarding when you can't get distracted by your phone. It of course helps that cathay service is great. My personal recipe for handling jetlag and maximizing energy for the girls. 1. Eat on schedule even if you aren't hungry. 2. stay hydrated and try to sleep as much as possible on the flight and change into pajamas before the flight even takes off. 3. Drugs, ambien for sleep and strong coffee in the mornings.
I usually then do a layover in Macau mostly due to the hotels being better and more affordable and the girl scene so easy with the spas, albeit expensive. Though sometimes while transitioning through HKG I have enjoyed the affordability of 141's. Food is also great and within the central neighborhood between the ferry and airport express there are good restaurants and 141's available.
I have also done stopovers in Tokyo which are great as well but I used the paradise soapy primarily. There is lots else to explore P4 P scene wise in Tokyo but for simple ease of access for non-japanese paradise is the way to go.
I did a stopover last year in UAE, but was really more of a stop for 5 nights. I flew in and out of Abu Dhabi, but rented a car and went to Dubai for first 4 nights. Driving was easy and car was cheap. Dubai wouldn't be a bad spot to stopover on another trip. Hotels were affordable, food a bit pricey, and girls somewhere in the middle between LOS and Macau but with more variety to try.

I like Eva Air. Efficient clean and connections from taipei to other places are easy. Very good prices as well. Unlike Cathay Pacific planes are pretty new.
