Rants, Stupid Shit and Coronavirus in Thailand

[EihTooms]

That is just speculation, the PM came out saying the opposite, ruling out a lockdown. We will know more today when an official announcement comes out.

Speculation or not, contradictory statements by Thai government officials or not, my info from a very close repeat girl is the same as Banana Boi's. The girl left my room Wednesday morning, ticket in hand, heading to the airport for a flight to visit her mom in Loei. She called me from the airport to tell me she will not go because she was told she would be required to do a 14 day quarantine upon landing and she was only going there for a week!

She cancelled her flight and is laying naked next to me in bed now.

This Is Thailand. Much of the time what is said and what we read does not count. Ultimately, the only thing that counts is what the man or woman collecting the tickets or weilding the ink stamp on that particular day at that particular hour wants to do.

One of my gogo girls told me that Thailand has started a 14 day quarantine for people in Bangkok who want to travel to another province such as Chonburi. Imagine being in a 14 day Bangkok ASQ and you get out tomorrow thinking you can go party in Pattaya. Wrong. Now you have to do another 14 day quarantine in Pattaya.

Bangkok (Reuters) - Thailand has granted emergency authorization to Janssen, the single-dose coronavirus vaccine of Johnson & Johnson, the country's health minister said on Thursday, the third vaccine to be cleared for local use.

Do you think these vaccines are good? I mean these are working because you can hear many rumors about this.

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.

[Banana Boi]

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.

Quarantine has been reduced to 10 days.

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.
