Rants, Stupid Shit and Coronavirus in Thailand

It is suspected that the cheap antigen tests can't detect Omicron. This may be a bug or a feature.

Are you saying that the cheap antigen tests cannot differentiate between omicron and other variants, such as delta? Or are you saying that these tests will show negative even if the omicron variant is present? The former would not be a problem, the latter would be a total waste of a test.

There are now 1000 reported Omicron cases. 534 the other day so this number is consistent with Omicron cases doubling every 2-3 days.

Sure she can. It might even be possible for a girl to do that just to spite you, revenge. I would imagine the Thai medical authority would take her word over any farang every time.

In the middle of all the speculation going on at the moment regarding Covid on this forum this is for sure a fact. Farang loses always.

What is the difference in practice if you fuck same one girl for 7 days or you fuck 7 days different girl each day and catch Covid-19? Is there some way the local authorities will find out that you have been in contact with a person who has Covid?.

Well my thoughts are that if you don't repeat with a girl then its less likely she'll think of contacting you if she does come up positive. If she does contact you it would be remotely and you could say 'yes I got tested and it came back negative'. And she wouldn't know your real name, possibly forget exactly where you are staying. Easier to deny is what I am going with here. Now if you have a girl staying with you for 7 days who turns out positive then my guess is the first thing she would say when getting said result was 'I'm staying with a foreigner. ". Now its unlikely the girl will know exactly 'when' she caught covid. And will accept your answer that your negative and feeling fine if its over LINE chat.

Can the infected girl that you fucked turn you in and force to be tested? .

From CDC, based on scientific studies "CoV-2 transmission occurs early in the course of illness, generally in the 1-2 days prior to onset of symptoms and the 2-3 days after. ". Because of this quarantine is only needed for 5 days if no symptoms or after fever subsides.

And overheard a guy on his phone telling his buddy that he had to take an antigen test. From the sounds of it he was standing somewhere in an open area without eating or drinking and not wearing a mask and the police informed him he would have to take (and I am assuming pay for) an antigen test. He sounded pretty well pissed off about the situation.

Now what I find amazing is all of these women wearing masks here, long black hair and striking eyes and I can't help but think they will all look as hot without the mask on. But I know that isn't true.

Wingman just landed a day ago in Bangkok. He arrived around 11 pm, taken to his hotel and given his PCR test. He woke up at 8 am to a phone call saying his test was negative. He then checked in early to his next hotel and managed to pick up 4 different women. And he did them all while wearing his mask. He doesn't want to catch covid before his day 5 PCR test. Correct me if I am wrong but if the girl has covid it will get on his bed sheets, towel etc and infect him when he takes off his mask.

"No" is a complete sentence. Don't care what she says, the potential downside of testing positive is too high.

I'd do a responsible thing and self-isolate in my room if I were in contact with a suspected case. However, I would only get tested in Thailand if I needed medical treatment or was forced (on entry).

This answers some of the questions in my previous post. Thanks!

I would too but imo I think the majority of guys would continue going out nightly if they were in close contact with someone who had COVID. This would be especially true if a guy were on a 2-4 week Thailand sex vacation. Doubtful they'd voluntarily self quarantine for 7 or 10 days?

Do they sell self testing ATK or PCR tests in Thailand?

[Crocodilexp]

But what do you do if your staying with a Thai who says you should go get tested because they think they have covid?

Just wait until your girl tests positive and then charges you for all the days of her quarantine per hour.

[Arn Poddict]

My first thought would be to self quarantine and avoid any hospital stays unless the symptoms are severe. I would do the same at home, self quarantine and wait for it to pass. But in a foreign country is this an option for a foreigner? Would telling the girl that you were with that you tested negative be acceptable even if you didn't take a test? If you want to avoid a costly hospital stay along these lines in my mind the solution is simple. Don't keep a single girl as a permanent GF. Break the link to the girl who said to you that you should take a covid test. Telling her you have another girl your seeing is much easier than going down the path of lying about getting tested.

The old days of finding a few steady girls might be gone if you want to avoid a trip to the hospital and a financial hit.

Is there some way the local authorities will find out that you have been in contact with a person who has Covid? Can the infected girl that you fucked turn you in and force to be tested? Of course if anyone of us has moderate or severe Covid symptoms these days a test is wise to do and proper, symptom based health care accordingly. That is why we have insurances to enter Thailand in case shit happens during the trip and hospital calls.

For me the risk catching Covid seems to be the same in both fuck variations above. But is there a difference in the aftermath of your infection depending how long time you have spent time with a single girl? If not I would not skip a longer term girl if I would find a good one. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

So, 110 Britishers landed in Österreich and were told to FKK off, that the rules had changed and tough shtt the site had not been updated to inform them of this. Note they had been allowed fly. Pedro does not need any more of this nonsense. That is Österreich, one of Europe's richest regions. If they are such clowns, what hope is there in the Land of Smiles?

[Breadman]

I don't know about all of your scenarios, but as an expat living here I was allowed to self quarantine in my condo.

Well a Thai girl I know had a positive test result without symptoms and was sent to a 'hospital' for a week. So not so sure the Thai gov't would allow a tourist to self quarantine. Roll of the dice maybe on who does which?

[Houston Player]

So we've all read here about the horror stories of being sent to a Thai hospital after testing positive for covid, having no symptoms and getting stuck with the hospital bill. And it seems like the Thai people pretty much 'fall in line' with the rule of getting tested and off to hospital seeing that they don't get a bill. But what do you do if your staying with a Thai who says you should go get tested because they think they have covid? What do you do if you have light symptoms but your basically staying solo? If your planning a trip to Thailand (or any country) this is something you should think about.

My first thought would be to self quarantine and avoid any hospital stays unless the symptoms are severe. I would do the same at home, self quarantine and wait for it to pass.
