Rants, Stupid Shit and Coronavirus in Thailand

[QUOTE=Explorer8939;2520881]I am in quarantine at the moment.

I will give a report after I get out. But I won't be using ThaiFriendly or any of the dating sites. And, no, I won't be pursuing any freebies like the nonsense being posted here.[/QUOTE]Not sure where this conversation belongs but was curious about what it takes to move to Thailand for a couple of months. Explorer8939 and others who have done this, are you able to share the process that you went through and any suggestions. (If this has already been covered here, my apologies.).

[QUOTE=DannyDuck;2524333]Japanese dudes don't get drunk. Pay well and are polite.

Why you think they are Preferred Status customers.

Farang also pay but lacking in the other two categories I mentioned.[/QUOTE]Don't forget smaller dick size and that they want girls to get on top bop up and down for a few minutes until they finish. Farang want full GFE. Plain and simple its more money for less work / effort.

So Biden is opening up the USA. As many predicted would happen.

All Political.

Is Thailand on the verge of Opening up. LOL. Starting to get worried about my $25,000 on deposit at Bangkok Bank.

One year no activity.

Maybe they think I Die and take my money.

[QUOTE=Nixonbd;2526094]From "Pattaya One News" this morning: "Tourists are expected to soon start flocking back to Pattaya amid a far brighter Covid-19 outlook and with the mandatory 14-day quarantine no longer being enforced. The association president added that the province's lifting of the mandatory 14-day quarantine period for visitors to Pattaya offered some hope to the tourism sector.[/QUOTE]Right now Thailand is reporting more new COVID cases than ever before. That seems inconsistent with relaxing the 14 day quarantine anywhere in Thailand.

[/QUOTE]I don't know why you guys keep listening to this shit. File this along with all the people that were going to come with the special visa program and the 10 million or whatever tourists that are supposed to come by September.

Just wait until real shit happens, not all the harebrained brainstorming they do for the news. When they say foreigners can come on this day without all these crazy restrictions, AND I see exactly that happening for at least 2 week, is when I will pay attention.

[QUOTE=LittleBigMan;2526333]They have approved the AstraZ, particularly for private hospitals to purchase on their own based [/QUOTE]I would take this with a grain of salt. AstraZ have explicity stated that they will not supply to private hospitals or companies. It's Thailand, what is reported in the press and what people say are quite often different from reality.

It works both ways!

[QUOTE=HorseTrader;2526375]Right now Thailand is reporting more new COVID cases than ever before.

For Chon Buri province reported from my morning coffee buddy tracking application says 1 case? Thus the reason the Governor is following Bangkok to ease restriction " as soon " Sat?

Exactly what I'm trying to state to everyone. Pattaya News is pretty much a few days behind and even when they are reporting everything wrong or complete at best. As I noted, just happy it was brought up but even then it was clearly stated if it does happen it won't until later in the year my hope is the vaccine gets distributed and the results reduce the cases and we start to get herd immunity?

Of the last 20 campaign ideas to get tourist back to Thailand I think they found one that might work. LOL.

Target Sex tourists. We the only ones that want in.

[QUOTE=Nounce;2533106]I can be dead wrong when we are talking about go go bars in Pattaya. This is a complete opposite case. The tech worker shortage is real. That is why so many engineers are hired a year before their graduation.

How many Indian managers or CEOs have you worked with in the valley?

You know an engineer can get offers from multiple large companies at the same time, right? I don't know how large companies manage to all collude together so they all can underpay engineers and not be competitive while there is a shortage when they can afford it like you stated.

One can rent a one bedroom for that amount in South Bay. Right now, a newly built 3 bedroom with security can be rented for under $3 K in the city. Unless someone like the city life, there is no good reason to live farther, and pay more for less in the city and take gbus to work.

How Americans are losing when H1B visa holders are paying taxes here and eventually become permanent residents. Or do you think just outsource the jobs offshore like manufacturing is better?[/QUOTE]You are or have extended the conversation! First, there is nothing in my writing that suggests I'm still working so as working and knowing CEO? No one said any company is colluding together my original remarks what started as a good thing has gone haywire and off-tracked yes there was a time there was a shortage but the use of H1 B visas is now being abused. When you have departments that just handle Visas to me at least that is a problem when there are more H1 B hires and your older ones are leaving with no real protection like a (Union) and I'm not pushing one here! Companies can slowly turn the wage scale lower.

This isn't about whether visa holders are paying taxes yes they are here legally based on a loophole or abuse of the system I'm not blaming Indians or anyone. Who wouldn't come to any country if they can get a better paying job. Your argument as for taxes it is o. K to stay and take a job even if you enter illegally? Look this sounds like a Trump supporter I'm not but it doesn't mean anyone outside of the GOP doesn't feel we should take care of Americans first before outsourcing. The brightest from our schools are being offered jobs prior to graduation it is that competitive these are the top engineers their ideas are developed then pass down to those lower-paying although over 100,000 H1 B workers.

Yes, people make their choices as to where they want to live in the big City where there is everything for H1 B visas holder they are basically at-will employees with no real rights of staying unless they have a job and if things don't work out you know what happens no different in Thailand. So no one is going to buy a car, lease a house for a year (which is the norm) with the unknown? One reason they come into the City and just rent rooms (month to month) I was invited the next time I was back in the City to tour my family building what they did was just amazing these tech companies know what they are doing providing their own bus service and other services to retain the influx of lower-tech workers from other countries.

These jobs aren't the same as manufacturing except for the assembly line concept there is a difference between physical and brainpower. One thing this pandemic has opened the door that many of these jobs can be done at home. As you know there is already a trend with these tech companies depending on their responsibility can move to less expensive Cities but doing so their pay would be adjusted to the cost of living in their Cities or States. The pandemic has opened a new door and any way to save money and still get the job done wouldn't be surprised like call centers you have entired engineer centers all offshoe?

Just because they are Tech companies don't mean they can do no wrong maybe that is your view, not mines it that was the case then you also believe companies like Google / Facebook can't direct your research? In the end, companies are there to make money and lower their overhead anytime or any way they can this goes for any Gogo too.

[QUOTE=LittleBigMan;2533035]I was born and raised in S. F.[/QUOTE]That surprises me. After reading dozens of your poorly written posts I had assumed you grew up outside the United States and English was not your mother tongue.

I realize that many gentlemen who normally would be in Thailand at this time of year are not there now. So I expect some diminution in the ISG signal-to-noise ratio. But tedious debates over American immigration policy and anecdotes about the real estate market in the bay area are well and truly off topic. Can we get back to discussing the approved subjects please?

I never ask posters to do what I myself cannot do.

Hopefully, one of the benefits of the lockdown will be the girls not having money to go get bad Korean nose jobs. Change my mind!! 55.

[QUOTE=Franciscass;2538982]It's a name coined by sections of the US political spectrum alongside others such as Kung Flu or the China virus to describe Covid 19.[/QUOTE]It's ignoramuses US leaders that lead to the events of today. 8 people shot to death in Atlanta massage parlors.

From the Associated Press.

"It appears that they may be Asian," Atlanta Police Chief Rodney Bryant said. The killings came amid a recent wave of attacks against Asian Americans that coincided with the spread of the coronavirus across the United States.

-----.

Seems like a 21 year old American walked in to various Asian massage joints and started killing the Asian massage girls. Unacceptable!

Hopefully this starts an uproar in the States. Yeah right! MLLM (massage ladies lives matter) or ALM (Asian Lives Matter).
