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. 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.

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.

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.

Posts: 324Klong toei. Vaccination
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.

Posts: 360Heading for a shock
Opening all these businesses will take whole of money for a trickle of tourists. And planes for long haul will be mothballed for ages until short haul is firmy established. Crews and planes will need a lot of cash to get going again. And there won't be any business and first class pax for years. So just a trickle of economy pax won't make any money for airlines.
So Thais are going to get a nasty shock at the small numbers of backpackers who turn up with little money to spend.
Most of Europe has no chance of long haul as its all off limits for even short haul for this summer to Spanish beaches.

Posts: 6331For the first time since 2015 I was looking into a major escort city I was thinking of visiting soon and I saw something I have never seen before. Even dumber than buying drinks for Soi 6 girls online, escorts are now selling virtual dates online! Here's the kicker. Cost is over 10,000 baht per hour for an online date! Have guys gone insane during COVID?

Posts: 3131There are articles each morning here in Thailand personally I would take it with a grain of salt! Forget you heard it from a friend and so forth. Each day you get an announcement by someone in government that basically doesn't have any final say whatsoever the next someone else says something different that includes the PM himself. One day they announced they have things in control, enough beds, and equipment, then you got websites are being set up for foreigners and they can start to sign up for the free vaccine then the next it is gone!
Now mass vaccination is being set for June 7th, everyone can sign up for their appointments yet the other day they don't have enough available whatever AZ they have on hand the second shot will be spread out to 14-16 weeks so more can get the first. There are also reports by some farangs confirming appointments for the Moderna when it was stated they are still in negotiation and even if a final price was determined they are months on the waiting list at best stated in October.
Then put on the thinking cap and try to figure Pfizer placed a request 3 months ago for approval by their FDA for approval yet Moderna has been approved so has J&J who put in their request after Pfizer. You got basically one of the best vaccines out there WTF are they studying?
As for Passport Vaccine, there isn't officially such a thing approved by the government it has only been thrown out as a suggestion. They have suggested now that they are rolling out the Sino and whatever AZ is available to the population that once you obtain the two doses they will provide some evidence so you can run around Thailand freely again this is just another suggestion.
Personally, where are we today here in Thailand on a personal note! When you look at the infection rate daily the 2000 plus is the new norm (I don't count the other 2000 in Jail) I've said this day was coming so get ready for it but no Thailand leaders continue to brag built roads all over Thailand particularly in Chon Buri instead of getting their hands on vaccines even the wife and daughter-in-law today driving around and around trying to find a road that wasn't closed due to construction ***** that they have all this money but yet no vaccine. Rarely do I ever hear any praise for the USA Except when I give them baht 555 wish they could visit the USA Now so they can get their FREE vaccine. Even they know you can just walk into Walgreen.
Right now I've stopped worrying about whether I can get the vaccine as far as I'm concerned Thais and anyone who wants it can get jab with the Sino or AZ, I won't stand in their way or ***** about them not giving me any priority I will continue to do what has gotten me this far wear a mask and keep my distance from people I don't know and that is easy living here as a foreigner. The leaders of this country can no longer close off and isolate themselves like in the beginning because there are now vaccines whether proven / problems it is their only solution they are after herd immunity and I agree something is better than nothing without a shot for myself herd immunity for the Thai population, in theory, should get me by until I get a vaccine of my choice.
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.
Here is an announcement or rumor flooding around Thai social media today that the leader of this country is trying to figure out how to keep it under wraps? The current K--g is rumor to be dead?
