Just confirming that the ten day quarantine is official.

And on the US embassy website:

Please do this. https://thepattayanews.com/2021/03/2...ut-quarantine/.

I hope this happens, two weeks in the toybox and then the entire country available. A quarantine I can live with.

I doubt this will happen. This is basically a proposal by Pattaya to get vaccinated and open first. I don't think the rest of Thailand would agree to something like that. Even though Pattaya and Phuket may provide lots of tax revenue to Thailand, I've rarely seen that as an excuse to give those regions special treatment.

But when this can be end for forever?

1. 10/1 or 2/1, depending on the outcome of their phased reopening plans. They're supposed to reopen with no quarantine if you have a vaccine passport. But I think on 10/1, that's only for specified "sandbox" districts (e. G. Chonburi, Phuket, etc). This will also depend heavily on how fast they can vaccinate their population.

2. CDC revises their travel guidelines for vaccinated travelers and Thailand adopts it. It really makes very little sense to make vaccinated people quarantine.

Read the article, makes it sound nice and fluffy like you will be in Pattaya City and Banglamung but this is the line that is concerning "To make a sandbox is more difficult on the mainland than on islands. " Does this mean your entire quarantine will be spent on Ko Lan and Ko Phai for most? That would be pretty damn boring imo, unless you like monkeys of course.

Way back in the days, ....
The End.

It has been a long time since I read such a comprehensive report. This is exactly what I am looking for at the moment. And even if maybe I don't always have the same expectations, I can easily project myself into your description. There are a lot of ideas and experiences that interest me. To a large extent I recognize what I know about Pattaya and what has become of it now.

For my part, after many failures, various attempts ready to succeed, especially at the beginning of the year, the various lockdowns in Thailand and now in France, I am still stuck in Paris.

I have started a vaccination process with AstraZaneca yesterday and I will have my second injection at the end of May. Hopefully (which I don't really expect after all these changes for 1 year), and I will try to come to Thailand in June / July and / or October.

At the beginning of 2021 I was ready to carry out 16 days of quarantine, I had a visa and a COE. Now I don't want to do any more. I'll just do a vaccination, a test and that's it. I no longer want quarantine or no more than 2 days to take a test on arrival. To complete with my state of mind, I'm a little tired of being taken for a flipper ball and I'm at the end of my exasperation to come to Thailand, and it makes me very sad about it. And on condition that the reception conditions are profoundly modified and finally turned for the tourists and that there are no other sanitary setbacks (which seems a difficult bet to win in fact) and I expect everything now.

This scenario will be invalidated if the vaccine is no longer effective against new variants. And something tells me it's possible going to happen.

At this point, I just have one additional question if you agree to answer: how old are you?

Anyway, Thanks again for your time.

Would it be considered disrespectful to the King to do origami with currency that had the king's picture on it? I think it would be a fun way to tip a bar girl. Most wouldn't care maybe.

Thanks for any answer.

Bar girls may not care but a lot of others would. The current King / regime in Thailand have tightened up the Lese Majeste enforcement. Several years ago a tourist got in an argument with a taxi driver, so he threw 500 baht on th ground and stomped on it. He got arrested and I think deported. Just look in the Thai media for how many people have been arrested in the past year or so. Even if you do get arrested a bar girl or local patron may get offended and arrange for 5 guys to beat the crap out of you.

You used to be spot on and actually helpful to the board, seems that all went away

sent you a PM Shack.

It's ignoramuses US leaders that lead to the events of today. 8 people shot to death in Atlanta massage parlors.

From the Associated Press.

"It appears that they may be Asian," Atlanta Police Chief Rodney Bryant said. The killings came amid a recent wave of attacks against Asian Americans that coincided with the spread of the coronavirus across the United States..

You used to be spot on and actually helpful to the board, seems that all went away, and now love talking about USA politics and cutting it up, weird, for someone that hates, us so much you seem to love to talk about a lot, your post was way to early and way off!

For those that missed it The Paw's ode to the 610 Loop in Houston was also his 610th post. Glad to see MonkeyPaw laying low a bit in Pattaya. Pattaya has its share of bad hombres whom it is best to avoid no matter you're connections.

Way back in the days, when the Paw was just a fingerling and a broke ass college student in H-town, there was a highway called the 610 loop that ran around the city limits forming an oval or circle of sorts. The huge track was notorious for having some of the most seediest motels, with hookers amongst other shady ass people living and working out of them. These 610 loop motels are where the college girls that I met in my classes first applied their part time trade of selling ass. They often ask me to chauffeur and drop them off, in and around Crosstimbers, Bellaire, and South Main near the old Astrodome. Monkeypaw was also their marketing guy, and from time to time, I was able to get free samples and a little taste as if I had snuck into Costco. Memories, oh memories, where have ye gone? Having said that, let's ode to the famous 610 by kicking out one more report. Because it's been a year and I have gone full circle, loop de loop myself, and here all in Pattaya. Let's sing along folks.


The End.

You can come back now. They finally finished the construction at 610 and 45 south.
