Pattaya Reports

Tukcom one is open.

I guess what they are doing is "contracting. " I figured the purpose of track and trace, scanning and signing in was to more about tracking customer flow rather than COVID. One by one, these businesses will shut down like dominos falling.

Positioning of hands to hide the crotch area is only a very small part of what to look for, others are very tall, broad square shoulders, Adam's apples, very long arms / legs / square jaw line, big hands, big feet, deep voice and many more. SNIP.

She's my top one at Thermae. Not sure how the heck she is allowed to stand at her spot if they are only supposedly allow females there. Look at those squared shoulders on her. Must be a ladyboy then. LOL.

Starbucks on Beach Road, near Soi Post Office. Not enough customers to pay the rent. Closed until further notice.

Uhh yeah. To quote one of our smartest BMs, "Sheesh, its like some board members have never been to Thailand to not know these simple facts!" 2005. My first year coming to Thailand. Every ID that I have seen has been in both Thai and English with Mr or Miss before the name. Whenever I ask to see a girl's ID, I take a look at it then shout out MISTER? They always get a kick out of that.

Obviously! But they are also written in English as well. So who should you tip to read the English part for you? Damn dog, seems like you would have at least googled what a Thai ID card looks like from your mom's basement before you made the post.

I think you will find for non Thai speakers or Thai people who work overseas one can ask for their ID or driving licence to show both at the time of applying, my Thai driving licenses are like this, all Thai IDs I have seen are in the Thai script only and I have seen hundreds LOL.

And are all your posts nothing but rants?

Yes they are. He has been flooding the Philippines forum for a long time with his BS and now he has come here unfortunately. Just ignore him.

You do realise that what one writes on the form has no relevance at all, why.

Because when one comes into the country immigration takes ones photo at the airport, apply for a Thai visa and one has to supply photos of ones self and again a digital photo is taken by immigration of one.

Ever noticed the big camera on entering any mall or the CCTV system installed, yes you guessed it, facial recognition with time stamp, the authorities know exactly who one is and when one entered regardless of what one writes.

Surely anyone who has visited Thailand for even a short visit would know these simple facts.

Not always the case? You made a very good point but this is Thailand? We think or expect things here is the same as the West I can tell you it isn't. When it comes to cameras I remember a guy was killed in the States a few years back when I was visiting when they went to the cameras they found 50% of them weren't even working on the trains see at times enforcement is putting doubt in people mines that are part of enforcement thinking someone is watching that produces doubt no country has enough manpower to cover everything.

When you talk about facial recognition what you see at the airport and places in Bangkok doesn't mean every city or province has the same technology. People who live here always refer to Bangkok even Pattaya as not being part of Thailand. Outside of Bangkok, there aren't any riot squads, FBI training centers nor do they have many of the technology afforded to the Bangkok authorities it is like they are a country of their own.

Pattaya is a bit of an exception they get more funding because they are one of the top tourists' cities and belong to the Eastern economic zones thus get more funding than other provinces. When it comes to funding it is based on the number of households registered and property owners not everyone who works or live in Pattaya are registered being able to do so there are certain requirements and if you are lucky to do it you are afforded to use the hospital for example in the province of Chon Buri for 30 baht for example. When it comes to Pattaya I was told in conversation by the vice mayor 5 years ago how things work there was something like 350 people who are actually on the payroll the rest are all contracted and that pretty much includes everyone and there are thousands of workers. For example immigration, at Jomtien, you got about a dozen who are on payroll the rest are just contracted out and register population increase each department can add.

So back to facial recognition there is a much better chance of identifying a foreigner as you noted you got to go through the process at Immigration and the airport but what about for Thais. Unless they are able to travel if an outbreak is traced to a particular time at one of the shopping centers it would be very tough in my opinion to find the Thais since many aren't register nor does every city have the technology to track people down the reason the local BIB are given the ability to be judge and jury to the majority of the cases the system just isn't large enough. Some people think all the hotel taxes etc. Go to the city not true it goes into one giant pot it is distributed based on household so if you live upcountry you are going to get short change every year the reason these cities and provinces have the type of corruptions they do.

Privately the CCTV is most likely working but in the end, you need the local authority to do the work the government better allocates a lot of money to get them to move otherwise it is like before just put out a notice who was here and hope the honor system works. They have CCTV on Highway 7, the major highway to and from Bangkok last year it was reported over 1 million unpaid speeding tickets yet to be collected and growing if you open a bank account in Chiang Mai and need to close it and you live in Pattaya you need to get up and do it at the original branch. You go to many government offices upcountry they are still writing things in logs and using typewriters What you think happens or should happen is not always the case here particularly in Thailand the technological system is just not there nor linked up.

Thai ID expires every 6 years. Since 2005, thai ID is bilingual. A Ladyboy or postop would have "Mr" on it.

For all those claiming just check a Thai girls ID yourself for age and gender, you do realize that unless one can read Thai then they won't have a clue as to the details as all Thai ids are obviously written in the Thai script, hence why I suggested tipping the security guard or receptionist who is able to read Thai to advise before heading to the room.

Everybody scribbling, some no phone number, tourists not even filling out completely. So how do they track again if we are sick? Oh, only those from foreign countries have been sick when they are repatriated. I wonder how many people just live in this oblivion and believe any government. Hell, most people don't even trust their own judgement.

I think the tell according to Napa is the way she position her hand to hide the "bulge". I don't think about checking that. That is way underestimating their ability. Any reasonable monger will not post so many female pictures knowing they are not. It just does not make common sense.

Positioning of hands to hide the crotch area is only a very small part of what to look for, others are very tall, broad square shoulders, Adam's apples, very long arms / legs / square jaw line, big hands, big feet, deep voice and many more.

Unfortunately many on most boards can see most of these traits and still insist they are posting pictures or fucking females.

Spend enough years in Thailand and one can start to tell the difference in the sexes within a very short glance.

As far as ladyboys owning up to their sex its 50/50, some will hide the fact that they have a dick and balls in the hope they can get away with just giving a blow job with some excuse like they just started their period back at the room.

Sex change will never say they are male because in their minds having a sex change has made him into a complete her.

Somebody coughed on me in February. I got a cough, cold symptoms, and pneumonia, so I took food grade hydrogen peroxide, chloroquine, colloidal silver and mullein tea. Felt great the next day, so I'm immune and good to go.

My local chapter of TLM. Thai lives matter says open up. Now.

Yessssss please open these fucking borders! Or I'm going to die from a side effect of covid 19.
