At best they are grasping for straws the best I can say is they are trying that trying is filled with inconsistency! I live on the Darkside and what is being mandated is like day and night how it is applied in town. The last week more and more temperature checks since I travel on a motorbike by the time I get to a place like Big see extra I'm thinking I must be overheating sweating like a pig with all the talk about Virus half the time I feel sick? I get in line check my temperature one day I was like 34, I was thinking I'm fucking dead? The readings are all over the place and the checking is inconsistent at best they decided to use one entrance while the others are wide open. Just last week a lady was in front of me she was over the standard the lady just turn her away. I ask the lady isn't there something in place for this you can't just let her walk away she looked at me with disgust! I seriously doubt any of these checkers have any training or idea as to what to do? Personally, I haven't seen anything as to who to call where to actually go if you think you might have it, on paper, it all looks good but in real practice?
A month ago a big bottle of gel at Facino it was 85 baht for a time you couldn't even get one if you did it was 300 baht, last week locally on the Darkside there was a run on eggs and pork, locally market vendor were charging double. Today, I went by the market to walk around looking for dinner, they must have gotten a huge shipment the free illegal market is in full effect. Many of the booths were selling masks, never seen so many being available you can now get them with Nike, UnderAmor, Addidas logos many others were selling fashionable ones you can now make a fashion statement? When it came to Alcohol hand gels bottles line up everywhere if you have 280-290 baht. There is no shortage today but whether they are up to standard it is anyone's guess.
Cross your fingers people have mercy!

Posts: 63I've been told via Line by one Lady I met in NEP that she has covid19. Says she came down with it 10 days ago now, which is a bit over a week since I left BKK and I haven't had any symptoms. Not much more detail other than she's getting better slowly.
Don't know if for real, hypochondriac or fishing for sympathy moneys.

Yesterday an asshole (not Thai) took me to task in the elevator. He bursted out "ever heard of Corona!?", pointing at the zombie mask plastered over his ugly face. Moron!
The holier-than-you-you're-infecting-me attitude goes up a notch with every day that goes by. I hope the government here sticks to their single digit dead count.

I also went to FoodLand Supermarket today and they made me buy a mask for 25 baht before they would let me in. Went to KFC today and it was also required to wear a mask to enter there, while the cashier did not have hers on.

Posts: 2523"Speakeasy" restaurants
Restaurants only allowed as take-away only as of today. Some restaurants go on serving seated customers behind closed doors. Entrance through back door. Apparently it is legal for customers to be seated upstairs (as opposed to on the ground floor). Viruses are not supposed to climb stairs. I don't find this game of hide-and-seek with regulations shocking. On the contrary.

The older ones are probably more educated in that matter because they mostly relate on what the old style pharmacist tells them (we can still find a few pharmacists like that, not big branches that only sells western stuffs, but the ones that really try to find a cure to their patients where the pharmacist is a bit like an old Chinese doc).
When it comes to English, it isn't so much they speak sure majority of mongers seem to feel more comfortable just like it makes a difference if the girls tell them I'm a University girl, do it part-time, my first day, my days one felt he got a catch if the girl didn't have a cell phone, working girls no matter where they come from have a school of their own. We from the West just assume if they speak they should understand I learned that isn't the case what is important is whether they comprehend what is being said and if people pay attention watch their body language and facial expression if you find you are always having the same related conversation then you know they don't. They will tell you yes just so you will stop your mouth! In general, the more you go on the more they shut down and that includes Thai men too.
Most of your posts are really spot on when it comes to Thai psychology or comportment, your words really reflect some of my past experiences.
Although the issue of always having the same related conversation as if we never discussed it before comes also a lot in my own circles so it's not only typical to Thais.

Seem like your reputation from the young girl might have gotten to the mother? Maybe stick to the younger more naive ones and leave the older ones to LBM? By the way, can you forward me that video?

It's been a while (maybe 10 days) since I saw separate numbers for the various districts, at which time most Chonburi province cases were directly linked to the Lumpini Boxing stadium cluster and there was very little Pattaya related. One Belgian chap had spent an evening at a beer bar on Beach Road Soi 8 and was later diagnosed in Rayong Province (and so is counted as a Rayong case, not Chonburi - "finders keepers" so it seems) .
The Soi Yensabai case is also not included in the Chonburi numbers, because she'd decided to share it with the good yeomen (and yeowomen) of Nongbualamphu province before being identified. https://thepattayanews.com/2020/03/3...with-covid-19/.
A couple of days ago there was a list published of places where people with Covid 19 had visited, fellow visitors being told that they should self isolate for 14 days https://thepattayanews.com/2020/03/2...lf-quarantine/ . Of note is "Beer bars on Pattaya Soi 6 from 24-Feb to 26-Mar". Who would I be to point out that more than half that period is over 14 days ago? One also assumes it is Beach Road Soi 6 (other Soi 6's do exist).
The bottom line is that it's here but appears to be at low levels. Appearances can be deceptive, mind.

She asked me how much I would give her and I told her 1000 Long Time. She said what about for Short Time. I told her that I do not do ST, but 500ST. She said it was not enough. She said 700ST and 1000 LT. Okay. Come over for LT then. She had me pick her up on Pattaya Klang. I told her I would arrive in 10 minutes. When I arrived I sent her a message and she said she would be out in 10 minutes. Oh no the fuck you will not. I am not waiting here 10 minutes when I already told you when I would arrive. She said okay 5 minutes. I said negative. She said I will be right out now then. I know the fuck you will.
She walked to me from wherever she was and she was straight for the stroke. I could not wait to get home and get into those guts. She was pretty affectionate, but at the same time she was very paranoid. I could not figure it out. She went in to take a shower and came back out. I had my phone upright on the wireless charger and she went over and took it off the charger and laid it down. I said why did you do that? She said in case video. I started laughing. I told her that a video camera can be anywhere, not just in the phone. I said in the TV for instance. She said that some guy recorded her before and she did not know. She looked in his phone and saw it. So because of that she is extra cautious.
We fucked and all, but she continued with the paranoia. It was like she thought somebody was watching her like Rockwell. I was seriously frustrated and thought how the hell am I going to be able to deal with this all night. Her daughter hit me up asking me to take her to the bus station. She was going home to Sakon Nakhon. I told her that I was with her mom at the moment. She told me to have fun. I said I can't. This bich is over here driving me crazy worrying about nothing. She asked if she was drunk. I said no. She is just crazy. She said well that is what you wanted.
I turned my attention back to the mom and just then she said that she wanted to leave. PERFECT! I think I even took her back to Pattaya Klang. I gave her the 700 baht and bid her adieu.
The next evening the daughter hit me up asking if I wanted to see her. I said how the hell can I see you when you left to go home? She said she went to Bangkok but because of the stuff happening she would have had to go to Udon and transfer there in order to get to Sakon Nakhon, so she came back to Pattaya. I called bullshit. But she showed me the tickets both ways. Well damn.
The day after that she hit me up saying her mom was worried that I made a video of her. I said that is why I wanted her to leave, because she kept talking crazy. She wanted me to send her a picture of my TV. I sent one and asked why she wanted a picture of my TV. Then I remembered that I told her mom a camera could be anywhere, for example inside of a TV. Now the bich thinks there is a camera inside of MY TV. She said that she already knows her mom is crazy. The mom has sent me messages asking for a picture of my TV and saying she will go to the police if a video of her surfaces. I have not answered any of her messages.

Posts: 16398The chick whose house I stayed at last night is reading the news right now and said a girl on Soi Yensabai has corona. She also read there are 7000 Thai people trying to get back from Italy. She said that may be fake news though.
Another chick sent me a chart yesterday. 36 people so far in Pattaya have been diagnosed with corona.
