Rants, Stupid Shit and Coronavirus in Thailand

[Explorer8939]

Moderna isn't on the list and it was approved bu Thailand on May 13. So will the Pfizer vaccine be recognized as someone being fully vaccinated for the Thailand vaccine passport?

Explorer, was the vaccine card you showed in Krabi for Pfizer, Moderna, AZ, Sinovac, JJ, or something else? One or two doses?

Two doses of Moderna. I am fully vaccinated.

Okay Karen. What part of what "my rent includes electric and water" did you not understand?

I understood all of it, here's the logic behind the $20 donation, take it and give it to your landlord, that way you can have showers in your condo and turn the AC on so he and your utilities would be covered. No need to take showers at the pool or a get good deep sleep at the kids play area at the mall to save it for him.

Imagine that, Monkeypaw pays rent for the condo, but is not allowed to use the pool shower at same condominium complex. Other renters can, but Karen here, thinks I should "take my showers at home. " How does that even make sense? You do know it is basic common courtesy and hygienic, to shower before and after, you use the swimming pool, right? And if the pool has showers, you would think I should be able to use it. What are you going to say now? "Monkeypaw, you didn't mention you were using the swimming pool. " That right there fits the bill of a Karen. Thinking I or anybody has to explain to you why they are using a pool shower at their own complex or even if it's not.

You're right, you do not have to explain anything, you already did a good job of that here:

So why do I not run the AC as often to keep myself comfortable or take showers in my room? I do this, unknowingly to my landlord and his family, so they can keep more of the rent I pay them.

You do understand that as a condo owner and renter, your landlord is by all measures well off. Imagine his wife went to the mall and wanted to leave her kids at the play place and found you sleeping there in order to save them the $20 utility bill. She would either demand that her husband lowers the rent or charge you utility bills separately so you do not have to put yourself through that and the kids around the neighborhood can have their play area back without having to see an adult expat (monger) sleeping there.

Bet you've call the cops on people who you thought didn't belong in the neighborhood right? I used to think those FB Karen videos were staged. Can't believe I made wasted my bandwidth, just because you didn't bother to read.

What? Anyway if I saw an adult male sleeping in the kids play area of the mall every other day, I just may call security because its not really a place where you want to see a monger hanging out and taking naps.

Feel free to insert another quarter and play again.

Will probably pass because its only worth paying for if it was challenging.

Anyways, has anyone notice how much my milky white skin is tanning up since I've been in Pattaya this long? And I've been using lotion with sunscreen in it, so I dunno WTF. And that's not the lotion on her ass by the way.

Don't think anyone here noticed the tanning of your "milky white skin". Cute girl by the way, did you invite her for a 'dip in the pool' before and after so you can save a dollar for your landlord. Imagine she knew you do that type of thing. She would give you a pitty fuck so you can take the 1 k baht saved and pay for 3 months worth of utilities.

If you hide the cam can you tell me how you do?

He leaves it in the hallway, since he keeps his door open to cool the room to save his landlord power costs, no girl would ever find it there because they would not for the life of them fathom why anyone would do that. There would be no need to have 'game' anymore since there would be a line of girls outside the front door offering freebies as pity fucks for the kind hearted monger trying to save lunch money for the condo owners kids by leaving his AC off, front door open and getting some real sleep at the AC cooled local kids play place.

Some of your posts are good paw, and I can say that I have picked some tips from some of them, but others are just Ludicrous, like me being a Karen for suggesting you pay an extra $20 to turn your AC on and have a shower at your place whenever you want. If your landlord is including your utilities in your rent he has himself and his family covered. If your post is real your putting yourself through a lot of trouble for no reason at all.

There is no conceivable reason to buy a ticket to Thailand for late 2021 or 2022 right now. Capacity is not constrained, and won't be for a long, long time on most routes.

Even in normal times, it would be too early to buy. Airlines tend not to upload promo fares until 6-3 months before the flight (for long-haul, usually less time for regional or domestic). Covid changed the game, all bets are off, but you obviously aren't getting a deal by taking that extra risk of buying far in advance.

And that's not the lotion on her ass by the way. Also, I hate it when the girls advertise long hair on TF, and arrive in a bun. Wonder does that count a bait and switch? Then they leave all that loose hair for me to clean up. This is why I stay alone and God has an Archeia waiting for me, whose hair won't fall out. LOL.

Very nice pictures. Did you hide the cam? Or your lady was ok you do a movie? If you hide the cam can you tell me how you do?

Yep airfare prices are definitely higher than normal now unless you are looking at 2+ stops. I will always book the fewest stops possible as I hate waiting at airports. Been looking to fly to Europe or Asia going to whichever opens up first. Don't care if it's a hobby destination. Just need to travel! My top 5 airlines are Cathay, EVA, Singapore, KLM, and Lufthansa. I also enjoy flying Thai Smile because no one flies that airline.

[MonkeyPaw]

Please send him 10 usd a month so that he can take his showers at home instead of at the pool. If you really want to help make it 15 so he can turn on the AC as well. He's not really lowering his footprint by showering and using the AC somewhere else he's just getting someone else to foot the bill. This is ridiculous.

SNIP...Every morning, I take my first shower of the day using the public showers by the swimming pool... By the way, my current rent where I am at is only $330, but here's the kicker. That price includes electric and water. So why do I not run the AC as often to keep myself comfortable or take showers in my room? I do this, unknowingly to my landlord and his family, so they can keep more of the rent I pay them... SNIP.

"...I know the station manager in SFO with Eva, I consider them to be one of the top airlines in the world... Although they have lost passenger revenue by 80% they have made a lot of it up by carrying cargo...".

Indeed. I am a big fan of EVA. Started using EVA 20 years ago out of LAX, but in the last 10 years have been flying out of SFO. Great departure, transit, and arrival times. Pre-COVID fares competitive. Excellent service from check in to boarding and throughout my flights. Service and food is very good. Not allowing transit pax in Taipei is going to keep putting a huge hole in their income. I flew China Airlines once. Don't know if I'd fly it again if it was free. 555 Let's face it, we don't fly to get 5* meals on a plane. But I've been going biz class for many years. The food on China Airlines was (charitably) almost inedible. I usually fly into Phnom Penh or BKK. Fortunately, there are many alternatives to EVA when things open up. I might miss the EVA level of travel, but the prices I see for late 2021 and 2022 for EVA are beyond belief!

[LittleBigMan]

Who is keeping EVA Air afloat? They must be going bankrupt soon since we can't even use EVA Air for a stopover to change planes to Thailand.

I know the station manager in SFO with Eva, I consider them to be one of the top airlines in the world they certainly are 360 from China Airlines they are not government-run and have a strong management team. Although they have lost passenger revenue by 80% they have made a lot of it up by carrying cargo which in 2020 range like 50 billion. Many of the planes still operating they have even taken seat out so they can carry cargo and belly load by hand much of the added cargo that doesn't need to be in containers. They also have renegotiated many of their contracts with employees. Vendors especially with Boeing to lessen the financial impact they also have a domestic market, unlike Cathay and certainly no Thai Airways!

I use them exclusively from SFO, although I have flight benefits I usually buy online pre-covid fare from Bangkok I usually could get a round trip for under 30,000 baht fares are now running close to 50,000 baht roundtrip a few months down the road since Cathay has stopped operating out of HK to SFO no competition the fare goes up so hopefully when things get better and Cathay comes back online that might bring prices down a bit prior fares from BKK-HK-SFO ran at 27,000 baht round trip the departure and arrival times to SFO were close and competitive.

but there is one big mess in Taiwan right now.

[LittleBigMan]

I don't know how about other places but there is one big mess in Taiwan right now. Looks like the only one plan of government is to keep the country closed and force people to stay at home. Due to a very agressive politics toward China they have a huge problem to get vaccines. Chinese proposed to send sinovac but the answer was: "we don't want, we don't need"; you even could found info on internet that Chinese vaccines will depopulate Taiwan and, in fact, the vaccine is a weapon against "Taiwan democracy".

Let me be very clear! My opinion is just that based on what I read and conclude. What this pandemic has shown is it is all political! When it comes to China once wonders how quickly they came out with the Sino yet the entire country is still in lockdown mode, citizens wearing a mask, social distance, it is only now they are starting to mass vaccination.

When it comes to Taiwan it is an island like Australia it is much easier to close down your borders and they have been successful in doing so but remember it has been over a year and with the vaccine in sight they can't continue down this path (which is what I mean) continue to keep it close and hope for the best while people and the economy suffer. With Taiwan, it is all politics when it comes to them not accepting the Chinese vaccine I agree it is noted heavily in your response but nevertheless, when it comes to Taiwan the solution is getting a vaccine which like Thailand started a bit too late. Their lack of progress is not only local politics but world where those who want to help don't because they owe China.

[Tabasco72]

In the end, I hope the Sino and AZ work well enough that it reduces the infection rate and give the leaders of this country the confidence to allow travel into their country without going through all the hoops of obtaining a COE, Insurance, and quarantine that is the type of Passport ideally what every traveler wants only then will Airlines start to schedule flights regularly into Thailand. This goes the same for places like Singapore, Taiwan, Japan with vaccines in sight lockdowns are no longer a real option.

Cost is over 10,000 baht per hour for an online date! Have guys gone insane during COVID?

That's solid money by anyone's standards. Time to dust off my wig and heels.

Was interesting to see the Klong Toei vaccination site in the Tesco shopping center car park today. Looked to be a few hundred people there lining up and getting jabbed. Apparently they are looking at getting all slum residents jabbed there over the next few weeks. Looked much the same as western countries vaccination sites.
