And the reason, I walk everywhere is to keep this BMI at healthy 22.7 and you ain't going to find a Chunky Monkey in Pattaya, even if you tried.
Every morning, I take my first shower of the day using the public showers by the swimming pool. If I want a quiet and really deep sleep in the cold type of nap, I take my soft blanket, and head to Royal Garden. The mall is dead and empty, but quiet enough for an awesome nap with fantastic dreams in the kids play area.
And the most per month I've paid is $400 for a condo or hotel. I clean and cook myself. The condo I am at now, I leave my door open to get free air-conditioning from the cool hallway during the hot day. And at night, I sleep with a mosquito net, and my windows open. This saves a shit load in bills.
By the way, my current rent where I am at is only $330, but here's the kicker. That price includes electric and water. So why do I not run the AC as often to keep myself comfortable or take showers in my room? I do this, unknowingly to my landlord and his family, so they can keep more of the rent I pay them.
So am I a Cheap Charlie, smart and savvy, privileged, or something else this damned world has never seen before? And my reward for all my sacrifice and being a good Angel? That is to keep on banging these hot girls, whilst sticking my thumb in their asses. Even Jesus Christ would be proud of me. Can I get an Hallelujah and AMEN?

If this analysis is accepted by the public and by most countries, come November, 2021, every plane landing at Suvarnabhumi will have its windows fogged on the inside. LOL.

Posts: 6309Chances of getting COVID after vaccination
Didn't look hard so maybe someone can find something more recent. From an April 16 article 5800 Americans out of 125.8 million people who got at least one jab contracted COVID AFTER their shot. That's 1 in 21,690 people. Number seems low enough for Thailand to consider a vaccine passport.

Posts: 6663 Types of Empathy

2. Emotional (Being able to read and understand their emotions. This is very high level skill, such as laughter doesn't necessarily mean happiness).
3. Cognitive (Being able to see from their perspective and thinking. Basically, you are able to read their mind and thought processes).
The faster anyone is able to do these 3, the better they will become at the game of "LIFE. " Being highly skilled in empathy, allows you manage your own emotions and raises your own power in "emotional intelligence. " Google this one. This is a real concept CIA agents and spies have. To be able to control your emotions in response to another's to achieve your own goals, goes beyond discipline. When one is able to really master this skill of emotion intelligence, they become Hannibal Lecter-like. And can really get into the minds of others and manipulate them for any purpose they wish.
So back to what you asked. There is a reason why, a "thank you" is always better than ignore. You have one hostess, checking in at least 200 rooms and 400 guests for breakfast time at Radisson Blu. At around 8-9 am, it's probably the busiest and the guest line will get longer and longer, as she checks off the rooms one by one. They guests always gets inpatient, tables don't get cleaned quick enough, and there is always bitching and griping. The hostess just smiles, lots of "I'm sorries," stays respectful to these 5 star hotel guests, and continues to do her job. Her only job is to be the gatekeeper at the check in desk and help bus tables when it's slow. It's not to be the security or detective to see who is valid and who is not. She doesn't get paid enough to be the Radisson RoboCop. Your "thank you" to her and politeness to other staff, is a "play" on empathy. Hope you get the gist. But like I said, empathy in itself, is a gift or power that not everybody or everything has. Remember Eddie Haskell with "Good afternoon Mrs. Clever. That's a lovely dress you are wearing. " Eddie was always able to concoct and instigate schemes with his friends, schemes for which they, not Eddie, would be in the position of blame if caught. Master of the Game type shit.

At Four Points, just walk pass the front desks and lobby lounge. When see elevators, make a left, stay to left of elevators and there are the guest bathrooms.
I feel bad for those who are lost or unknown to these privies, and have to use the unisex bathrooms at the Gogo bars. Good luck on barfining the hotter girls after having the runs or taking out a massive load. Those bathroom attendants talk and the girls are standing right there waiting for the toilets as well. Haha.

Personally I'd rather pay a couple hundred bucks more and go straight to my chosen destination rather than take another flight. It's like deciding to pay $200 more for a direct flight than one with a stopover. I'll always pay for the direct flight. Even more so now to lower the chances of getting COVID.

Posts: 492If I fly into Bangkok and do my asq there do I need to worry about getting to Phuket? It's a couple hundred dollars more expensive to fly into Phuket. That is where I want to be for reasons other then mongering. I worry they will close off internal travel. Also it seems cheaper for asq in Phuket.
Thanks.
