Posts: 6308Can't believe guys risk hospitalization to go to a bar that has no girls. I only see guys! 15,080 baht seems like a really expensive beer to me.

As for planes, every time they serve food or coffee everyone whips off their masks for an extended period of time.

Posts: 141Soi 7 bars opened today after a couple of days closure. They were medium busy.
Nana plaza outdoor bar was rather quiet today and talent was low.

Posts: 1264Test and Go
At first I was quite disappointed that I was not able to go to Thailand after a hiatus of almost two years. This occurred due to my procrastination in arranging the necessary approvals from Thai Visa to travel to Thailand. My delay was due to a concern that Omicron would spread rapidly and that curfews and other onerous restrictions would return. It seems that Bangkok and the country is on the precipice of another health crisis, perhaps more than others in the past two years. I currently have expats friend there who arrived in mid December. After a brief period of euphoria, they seem to be confronting the same rapid spread of Covid that you mentioned. One friend said he would not go to Soi 7 as it's a cesspool of Covid cases, while Soi Cowboy mandatory testing invites you to a potential hospital stay.
I saw an article in the Pattaya newspaper that the empty hotels there are suggesting they use their facilities for temporary hospital MASH type units — at farangs own cost, of course, for those with symptoms or not. Needless to say, tourists and ex pats are rejecting this idea en masse. In many cases, the health insurance (companies) you were compelled to purchase are refusing to pay for your hospital / hotel if you are asymptomatic. But it appears, hotels are more than happy to gouge their life bread for a temporary fix of revenue.

Posts: 324Delta Wave v Omicron
During the Delta wave in Thailand you would hear of a wide ranging amount of Thai people with Delta. It hit the low income communities hard and the labor camps as well as some working girls.
The Omicorn wave has infected so many working girls over the last 2 weeks that I have lost count. I think it I would know of 20 working girls with covid now. The Farang / Bar girl scene in Phuket, Pattaya and now Lower Sukhumwit must have a 25% positivity rate IE 1 in 4 people in the area have omicron.
I am sure it will spread to the entire community in the next few weeks too.

In Thailand 65% of the people is fully vaccinated, which is not a bad rate but it's not really good either.
So it's hard to say what will happen, but I think it's very well possible that their hospitals will be overwhelmed with patients.

Posts: 67Antigen Tests and Hook-ups
The antigen test kits in Bangkok (nose swab or spit-tubes) are widely and cheaply available. They are also now producing quicker results. Between 10 and 20 minutes for pos / neg result.
If you have a few regular FLs or BGs who are out of work maybe meet up with a couple of beer in a hotel room, test each other, enjoy your drinks while waiting and, if all good, then get down to business.

Posts: 76My own data points also hint COVID is raging in Bangkok, regardless of what numbers are being reported by the government. I reached out to several different FL contacts and about half were in the COVID protocol. The bargirls said that most of the other girls in the same bar also had COVID. I also know a nurse with no connection to the others. COVID protocol. Another unrelated civilian friend living outside Bangkok had symptoms and get tested (though negative) because her boss had COVID. I'm not arguing that my data points are representative (they can't be), but given them and what I'm reading here and elsewhere, I think there's a big problem.
Thailand seems to have been largely spared from the previous waves, but that just means it is dry kindling. It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Expect (largely ineffective) lockdowns soon.
P.S. I'm not too wired about getting sick myself, having just received a booster and without comobordities.

My wife is getting a little suspicious of travelling to Bangkok.
This is I love the red light areas and meeting young lady's for fun.
Could any one suggest a similar country that is very similar to Bangkok.
I've been to Burma Cambodia I was thinking Vietnam Philippines Japan.
Any ideas please.
Regards.
Happy new year.
