Given the special situation right now I am ready to share all of my informations that maybe some people would not yet have, of course in the right newsfeed. For Hong Kong, I think that ISG Internet users know even more than I do, even though I worked there. I can share information about Havana dating from my last visit 2 years ago. I also worked as an expatriate in Senegal and Togo but more than 10 years ago. Just like in Havana, even for old people like me (I'm 62). Despite that I hate flirting in the street, it is very easy to have contact in the street just with a smile with beautiful very welcoming Cubans (but beware with the police) and I am a huge fan of fabulous Cuban music. I also know Marrakech, there are very young and pretty girls, but I would only recommend it moderately except for those who like to play cat and mouse with the police. Personally I am a little older.
For the countries that I don't know, I am very tempted by Jakarta and Madagascar. I have a lot of French-speaking relations who fell in love, especially in Nosi Be which seems to have dream beaches (perhaps also interesting for diving enthusiasts).
Ultimately, opportunity will make thieves. Everything will depend on the order in which the borders are opened. Of course while waiting for the situation to normalize in Thailand.

In the meantime we can research various other countries here on the ISG platform and think about various back up plans just in case some areas open up sooner than SE Asia. My #1 backup countries are Brazil and Columbia. These are two prime SA mongering destinations and there is a ton of info on them in their respective threads. Other Board Members like Germany a lot and still others are very fond of Kenya and Madagascar. It is a matter of taste. Madagascar is of some interest to me, but I have no desire to go to Kenya. It is anybody's guess when any of these alternative destinations open as well. So international travel as we now experience is on hold and has become a waiting game.

Posts: 6398AirAsia comes through
I had a round trip flight from Tokyo to Bangkok scheduled this month. I was just going to write it off but luckily I decided to Live Chat with AirAsia and see what my options were. AirAsia gave me full credit that I have 730 days to use. Hopefully Thailand international borders will reopen within 2 years so not all is a total loss. Then again, staying longer in Japan would by far not be the worst thing to happen.

We will therefore have to consider other destinations and plans B (or even plans C) until we can return normally to Thailand.
I'm a bit newbie on the site, I don't know if I say something stupid but maybe ISG could be in this case a platform for exchanging good plans. We could exchange the good alternatives and the wrong destinations within the specific framework of covid-19.

A world without temptations where one can remain chaste. Stay in our room, in our house without being tempted by the forbidden pleasures.
All in all, I think I prefer hell.

And it's the same for a large part of the objects manufactured in Europe.
The result is that when we need simple emergency paper masks we can't find them, the whole world is served before us. Even more serious: 80% of the molecules intended for the manufacture of medicines are made in China or India. What will happen when we will find a treatment or a vaccine and we will not able to make it ourselves?
We have abandoned entire sectors of our industry in strategic areas.
We are becoming the new third world.

Posts: 151Just finished a 48 HR layover in BKK, obviously no foreigners are allowed to enter Thailand at this moment except Airline staff and as my name suggest I am exactly that. Wasn't allowed to leave my hotel room and certainly wasn't allowed any visitors. That meant I had to hold my cock and watch pornhub for my stay there which is utterly depressing. So what have you guys been up too? ...... Oh never mind I'm not getting mixed up in that......

The reason I guess the Thai government are considering leaving under 40's visit is because of the lower COIVID19 risk they pose. Once the doors open, they will reconsider as beach bums will not lead a recovery. They should probably go for young families or women but no doubt they will do fine without our input.

Everything in your timeline that occurred after the middle of January occurred long after Trump had been briefed repeatedly about the the human to human spread that China was lying to everyone about while he promoted and confirmed the lies. Consequently, the people and agencies you mentioned after that were lied to by China and Trump as well, including the WHO, Fauci, Pelosi, Biden, you, me, everyone who was not present in those National Security Council, State Department and Pentagon briefings with Trump and getting his Presidential Daily Briefings.
Being held responsible for starting it is one thing. But some ongiong ban on a country entering Thailand or a longer time relative to other countries as "punishment" because that is where a pandemic started would not be any more practical than banning entry by the USA because it is likely the 1918 Spanish Flu got started in Brooklyn, NY. Thailand needs and has been getting a lot more money, engaged in a much more commerce and tourism from China and South Korea than from the USA and now their posted virus case numbers are way lower than those of the USA. There is no practical reason I know of for Thailand to welcome Americans back sooner or at the same time as China, for understandable financial and health safety reason. As of this writing, China and South Korea do have it "under control" more than the USA does.
Whatever financial hold China has on the world, especially Thailand, even the USA is not immune to cutting them slack if not outright promoting for them. Even Trump defied the early serious warnings he got about China's lies from his own intel agencies and praised Xi for his "transpency" on the status of the virus in China. Last I checked, nobody outside of Trump's inner circle and rabid supporters have praised Trump for his transparency on the matter.
And as far as the poontang part of it goes, if a higher percentage of American tourists into Thailand are known to come here for the poontang than the percentage of Chinese tourists (as well as the general greater commerce engaged in here by the Chinese), then all the MORE reason Thailand would less keen on opening their gates to Americans sooner or at the same time as China. Not because of some sexual issues. Because of the increased likelihood of spreading the virus through those kind of venues rather than from shopping in Central Mall.
