A chica from last night started sending pics. A pretty dark venezolana. She comes by. Straight porn star. Deep throat, she ran through every position I know and loved it! I didn't too!

So when you heading back to Sosua?

[Nyezhov]

Well there won't be any reports from me out of Cartagena, as I found a way to get back into Bangkok and am now waiting out the 14 day quarantine period.

Reading the reports about the 3 amigos who got caught with fake COVID-19 tests was quite amusing. Before entering Thailand, my documents were checked no less than 6 times, and they were extremely thorough. Each document was looked over with a fine tooth comb.

Thais are very good about even unfairly keeping farang out of their country. Altho I must say that here in Cambodia, the second sign of international riffraff, after the dreads, beads, bare feet and native garb, is the whine "yeah man, the Thais wouldn't let me in".

Have fun in Bangkok dude, all my friends are telling me its quiet.

[Detwing1]

I'll be following you adventures closely as I'm going to get jabbed in February and be ready to take off again by August. If Thailand doesn't want to welcome my money by letting me come and go, there are alternatives. The air is bad in Bangkok again already too.

I came this close to going to Brazil. But after reading brother p adventures; and the information other members of this board have contribute; I leave for Cartagena on Monday. I pre-registered and I have my current Covid negative test as of the 15th. I'm looking forward to writing my perspective of the place. Pardon me for being under the influence when I write but that's how I get down. Thank you guys for the information.

Unless they had a real test from something local to "copy and alter" it is hard to imagine how they would even know what it should look like. Probably not a genius level attempt. What is most likely is that they were a bit arrogant and thought they were dealing with stupid people. Because after all they were all so smart. Arrogance and ignorance is a bad combination. Just my speculation.

Very very well said, spot on! Kudos!

[UnknownGuy]

I think these people may have had something on their passport or electronic visa that said that they have to quarantine. But because they wanted to leave before 14 days, they needed the negative test. I wish I could see their fake test to see how bad they tried to fake it. They probably just crossed the original person's name out and wrote theirs in.

[Zeos1]

And all three dummy's probably went through the line together!, so stupid! Travel safe " and smart " guys!

Excellent assessment I was thinking the exact same. They were in quarantine and we're leaving before the 14 days expired. They had fake negative test results.

So the story goes that they arrived in Cartagena on Jan 8th (day after mandatory PCR test were required) and somehow (story doesn't say) they were required to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival. They tried to leave on Jan 14th and provided the fake results when leaving Cartagena and got caught. The Colombian gov't changed the rules on the PCR test from Jan 12th to Jan 7th.

Something happened to arrived that caused the mandatory quarantine. 2 things can cause this: Not arriving with your PCR test results (probably didn't know of the date change for PCR test) or taking a test at the Colombian airport and it was positive. Because of the 14 day quarantine, they couldn't leave either unless they had a test saying they were negative. I guess the thing that made it suspicious was that they were trying to leave 6 days after arriving. No way you going to go from positive to negative in 6 days. Yeah that is suspicious, so they called the lab about the results and got caught. They endangered the lives of Colombians by coming in hot (if that's the case), staying and doing god knows what, then trying to roll out. Oh they going to be in some serious trouble. If they do the contact tracing and one of the people they came into contact gets really ill and dies. Shit they may be in Colombia for a long time.

[MarquisdeSade1]

I am guessing all three used the same copy and that is how they are caught.

I'm willing to bet that's what they did LOL.

Or did something genius like used whiteout on printed copies LOL.

Because they are FLAILING. The authorities all around the World (whether they be health officials, governors, presidents, mayors, judges etc) don't really know what to do, but when you have 90% of hospital beds occupied, you have to try something. It's sort of human nature. If you throw enough shit against the wall, it's got to work.

I agree with you 100% I'm not sure any of it has really worked.


And they won't do the most obvious thing and more emergency room capability. That should have been done 6 months ago.

I like this idea from the Israelis. Vaccination passport that will allow you access to certain events and I mean that you don't have to go through all the other protocols....
