Just wait until your girl tests positive and then charges you for all the days of her quarantine per hour.
[QUOTE=Breadman;2643726]But what do you do if your staying with a Thai who says you should go get tested because they think they have covid? [/QUOTE]"No" is a complete sentence. Don't care what she says, the potential downside of testing positive is too high.
I'd do a responsible thing and self-isolate in my room if I were in contact with a suspected case. However, I would only get tested in Thailand if I needed medical treatment or was forced (on entry).
[QUOTE=Crocodilexp;2644099]I'd do a responsible thing and self-isolate in my room if I were in contact with a suspected case.[/QUOTE]I would too but imo I think the majority of guys would continue going out nightly if they were in close contact with someone who had COVID. This would be especially true if a guy were on a 2-4 week Thailand sex vacation. Doubtful they'd voluntarily self quarantine for 7 or 10 days?
Do they sell self testing ATK or PCR tests in Thailand?

And overheard a guy on his phone telling his buddy that he had to take an antigen test. From the sounds of it he was standing somewhere in an open area without eating or drinking and not wearing a mask and the police informed him he would have to take (and I am assuming pay for) an antigen test. He sounded pretty well pissed off about the situation.
Now what I find amazing is all of these women wearing masks here, long black hair and striking eyes and I can't help but think they will all look as hot without the mask on. But I know that isn't true.
Wingman just landed a day ago in Bangkok. He arrived around 11 pm, taken to his hotel and given his PCR test. He woke up at 8 am to a phone call saying his test was negative. He then checked in early to his next hotel and managed to pick up 4 different women. And he did them all while wearing his mask. He doesn't want to catch covid before his day 5 PCR test. Correct me if I am wrong but if the girl has covid it will get on his bed sheets, towel etc and infect him when he takes off his mask.
From CDC, based on scientific studies "CoV-2 transmission occurs early in the course of illness, generally in the 1-2 days prior to onset of symptoms and the 2-3 days after. ". Because of this quarantine is only needed for 5 days if no symptoms or after fever subsides.

[QUOTE=ArnPoddict;2644043]What is the difference in practice if you fuck same one girl for 7 days or you fuck 7 days different girl each day and catch Covid-19? Is there some way the local authorities will find out that you have been in contact with a person who has Covid?.[/QUOTE]Well my thoughts are that if you don't repeat with a girl then its less likely she'll think of contacting you if she does come up positive. If she does contact you it would be remotely and you could say 'yes I got tested and it came back negative'. And she wouldn't know your real name, possibly forget exactly where you are staying. Easier to deny is what I am going with here. Now if you have a girl staying with you for 7 days who turns out positive then my guess is the first thing she would say when getting said result was 'I'm staying with a foreigner. ". Now its unlikely the girl will know exactly 'when' she caught covid. And will accept your answer that your negative and feeling fine if its over LINE chat.
[QUOTE=ArnPoddict;2644043]Can the infected girl that you fucked turn you in and force to be tested? .[/QUOTE]Sure she can. It might even be possible for a girl to do that just to spite you, revenge. I would imagine the Thai medical authority would take her word over any farang every time.

Farang loses always.
There are now 1000 reported Omicron cases. 534 the other day so this number is consistent with Omicron cases doubling every 2-3 days.
It is suspected that the cheap antigen tests can't detect Omicron. This may be a bug or a feature.
[QUOTE=Explorer8939;2645060]It is suspected that the cheap antigen tests can't detect Omicron.

Or are you saying that these tests will show negative even if the omicron variant is present? The former would not be a problem, the latter would be a total waste of a test.

SL.[/QUOTE]None of this is true. Where are you guys getting your information? Even a little common sense would tell you this was impossible. The Omicron variant is much more transmissible, why? Because it has a much higher viral load than previous variants. It can be detected by all current testing methods as accurately (or inaccurately) as previous variants. In fact the ATK tests don't really even test for Covid-19 they test for (any) Corona virus it's just that besides the common cold Covid-19 is the only corona virus currently circulating around the globe.
The Omicron variant spreads much faster but also dissipates much faster so the viral load gets smaller twice as fast as with previous variants. This is why after several days of infection the ATK test can't detect the virus because of the small viral load, but at the same time you are no longer contagious and are not likely to be spreading the virus so who gives a shit.

85 dead from motor vehicle accidents in the first 2 days of the 7 days of death.
For first time visitors to Thailand who may not know, if you get caught by police riding on a motorbike without a helmet the maximum fine is 500 baht. If the police try to extort more than 500 baht tell them you will pay 500 baht or go down to the police station with them. Someone let us know if my info is dated.
