Posts: 695BB, I quoted your post from the Pattaya thread and responded here in the Rants and Stupid section because I think this new policy is more at home here.

So you can follow the bouncing ball: Thailand kind of opened (covid test before & after arrival + proof of vaccination + up to a 24 hour quarantine) in November and most of December although there were strict regulations on the bars, then Thailand closes again now due to a non lethal variant, but will reopen again in February (probably), and later in 2022 they will most likely shut down again in April or May when a new variant arrives in time for the rainy season. 555. What a callosal load of bull! I feel sorry for the Thai people that have had to endure this madness as well as those ISG'ers with real Thai GF's who they have not seen for a long, long time.
Anyway, I have better things to do than play along with this dumb ass open / close / close / open game the government likes to play and fortunately I have better places to go too. Bye Bye Thailand. I had a lot of fun here while it lasted (1989 to 2019).

For first time visitors to Thailand who may not know, if you get caught by police riding on a motorbike without a helmet the maximum fine is 500 baht. If the police try to extort more than 500 baht tell them you will pay 500 baht or go down to the police station with them. Someone let us know if my info is dated.

The Omicron variant spreads much faster but also dissipates much faster so the viral load gets smaller twice as fast as with previous variants. This is why after several days of infection the ATK test can't detect the virus because of the small viral load, but at the same time you are no longer contagious and are not likely to be spreading the virus so who gives a shit.

Posts: 3257It is suspected that the cheap antigen tests can't detect Omicron. This may be a bug or a feature.

Posts: 6257There are now 1000 reported Omicron cases. 534 the other day so this number is consistent with Omicron cases doubling every 2-3 days.

Posts: 6257From 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.

Posts: 3471Was walking along 2nd road
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.

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).
