It is assumed maybe due to the distance the Chinese and other Asians will be returning to Thailand first or other mongering locations. What is missing in the discussion is first before one arrives and leave are the restrictions going to be lifted? Like Thailand are they still going to require a medical certificate within 72 hours of arrival and an insurance policy to cover minimum 100,000 baht, is there going to be a quarantine one end or both otherwise I don't think anyone is going anywhere?

Great points about travel restrictions and policies enforced by Thailand for tourists which will play a big role for economy. I've a feeling and just a feeling, that government will make very tourist-friendly policies to attract as many as possible. Things are already starting to open quicker than expected, and numbers of case are way down officially other than the spike we had the other day.

For the last week I've been seeing on the Darkside and in-town business of all shape and size removing their furniture, they are done. It doesn't seem bars or GoGo are on the list to open for another month to June 15th, that is a death blow.

Which kinds of businesses? Smaller ones were expected but bigger ones can pay couple of months of bill, so if they're closing down, that would be surprising. And as far as I know, other than couple of gogos on WS, nothing has been closed officially by now. But the numbers of gogos will close with a much quicker rate if the usual low-season turned out to be too low.

At time of writing the US has 1,215,279 cases and 70,119 deaths from covid 19. If they do not allow Chinese, what about Americans?

Perception is always bigger than numbers.

I don't see any day light for these bars and clubs if this is the best these bar owners can come up with their brains. Don't shoot the messenger.

The ideas proposed included the following, but none addressed social distancing between strangers.

1. the mandatory wearing of mask (makes barfine selection, drinking, communicating, and smoking pretty interesting).

2. bar staff to wear face shields (how does this protect the customers when drinks are handled at levels below the mask).

3. gloves for handling cash and drinks (but they still touch other surfaces with these gloves, unless they change gloves constantly).

4. temperature checks to be carried out at every venue (I think alcohol drops body temperature, which can mask illness).

5. hand sanitizer on all tables (why at all tables).

6. a limit on the number of customers admitted (who gets in and who doesn't? Big spenders only wanted).

7. as well as a limit on drinks promotions and parties (good luck on revenue and paying off the police their share).

8. medical screening spots could be set up in areas such as Walking Street (screen who, where, how, and how often).

9. logging ID and passport numbers in order to facilitate contact tracing (if you have to do this and reached this point, Walking Street will be closed down again).

I think some items are missing here?

Then you got the biggest one of all the ECONOMY Thailand government the way they are certainly will welcome the Chinese back but even the virus the number was already down the ones who were coming were more of the middle class that we're able to come in much smaller groups it was surveyed that 60% of the Chinese visiting weren't in large tour groups. I could attest to that by the number of venues built on the Darkside larger than any Muay Thai boxing venue all in one including parking for the large buses to retain the tourist all closed ghost town even before the virus.

Today, the number for the USA Unemployed on unemployment 40 million and growing, business lining up to file bankruptcy J. Crew, not to mention all the restaurants. The key Thailand nor China, Korea, Japan are exempt their economies are hurting, and when hurting who has the money to burn regardless of how close you are. Then.

You got the airlines, vacation industry, and hotel all projected that prices will go up! Until a vaccine is found you are talking about a 8-12 months airline must take caution and use social distance on their flights less capacity higher cost this is the same for hotels no one is going to stay in business continue to take a loss and providing a discount. In some sectors, it is projected 2-3 years before the economy gets back to pre-virus.

I projected a war between China and America it is here now the virus has brought everything to the front if not a physical war it will be a trade war what we experience prior to the deal reached in December will be nothing going forward it is going to affect everyone everywhere if China doesn't start buying as promised and that has nothing to do with taking responsibility for their lying regarding the virus.

For the last week I've been seeing on the Darkside and in-town business of all shape and size removing their furniture, they are done. It doesn't seem bars or GoGo are on the list to open for another month to June 15th, that is a death blow.

Does your perception of true or false numbers really matters in terms of mongering?

My response was to OP's claim that numbers in Beijing are negligent. It has nothing to do with Mongering. It's quite well known Thailand will allow Chinese no matter what, no one is arguing will Chinese be allowed or not.

Some countries are blaming China for the virus but Brooding over it here does not change anything to the scene.

Asian countries numbers are low now compared to Europe and USA on WHO's lists whether you think it is false or not.

You're assuming that many countries are going to trust WHO (the Chinese PR organization) for deciding who to allow entry in. I already know many European countries won't be allowing Chinese anytime soon, good for our FKK friends, less Chinese there. But less Chinese there means, more in Thailand. Which is not great for me and for many others. Most probably they will hike up the prices moment they come and larger their numbers the higher will be the effect. Just one of the scenario.

So are you assuming Chinese are reporting correct numbers?

What matter most is which country is opening up for our hobbies and whether we are allowed entry.

The countries involved in allowing entry of foreigners will decide on that.

I think it is hard if not impossible to report all the testing and data accurately most countries if not all are doing their best. Here is how I separate my opinion I look at past performance although no indication or guarantee of future performance if an individual or country in this particular case (China) has a habit of lying, holding back the truth or just providing half when it is clearly red they tell you with a straight face it is blue, the timeline is all there as to what China did regarding the virus take that history I got to be suspect as to what comes out of their mouth now and in the future I apply this same principle to P4 P too.

In a recent test of a representative sample of people in Belgium, 4.5% of those tested had corona virus anti-bodies in their blood, so must have been infected at one time or another.

A German study found 22% of those infected were asymptomatic: https://www.thelocal.de/20200504/one...c-german-study.

Agree. Drinks and Ladydrinks are not mandatory. Soi 6 it is a ST soi and I going there only for ST. Some girls keep to insist on "one drink first" after I told them I want ST only, I simply move next, no time to waste.

I always have a whiskey or GT in the bar in between picking up a girl and going upstairs to fuck. It gives a nice boost in the mood and in my cock. And I most often buy a drink to the girl as well while zipping mine and watching the soi 6 scene. Because I can. Does not hurt my wallet too much.

So are you assuming Chinese are reporting correct numbers?

That's an assumption that cannot be made. Most countries only report "confirmed" cases (for whatever definition of "confirmed" they use), so the figures do not reflect the actual number of infections. In a recent test of a representative sample of people in Belgium, 4.5% of those tested had corona virus anti-bodies in their blood, so must have been infected at one time or another. 4.5% of the Belgian population is a little over 500 000, yet Belgium only officially reported less than 50 000 confirmed cases. So there is a good argument to be made that the actual infection rate may be 10 times as high as the confirmed infection rate reported. Much will depend of course on how intensive these tests are being done. Except for countries such as South-Korea, Singapore or the worst hit areas in China, testing is nowhere near what is needed to get a good view on the actual spread of the infection.

Thailand, with almost 70 million people, will have much more than the less than 3000 "officially" infected people. How much will be the real value? That's anybody's guess.

Frankly the atmosphere in this bar is grim. This video was filmed at Pattaya.

But if in addition you have to endure 14 days of quarantine on arrival, be deprived of alcohol, undergo police raids and spend the night at the police station, I still prefer to stay at home with YouPorn.

This is nothing, more jealous and political than anything! I happened to drive by yesterday in the afternoon saw a lady or two sitting outside this place lets say is owned by pure Thai so no surprise as soon as they hear " ease up " they think they can open. Out here on the Darkside you better be liked and she isn't the rent on this place is high and the girls are usually butt ugly and I mean butt ugly known also to be gambling inside. Before the virus it wasn't known for anyone going there for girls.

They must of work something out because the place was open again with a lady outside not sure they were open for usual business. Further, up small local bar called the Red bar two girls outside sitting playing on their phones but not a lot opened many have closed up shop for good.

Thailand seems ok according to this site https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries.

I guess their main threat is Westerners though no way can the Chinese figures stack up (eg no virus in Beijing).
