So there are bars open then?
[QUOTE=JJanni;2578503]100% get where you're coming from on the nightlife. Despite the closure of Sweeties, I think it's slowly been improving while I've been here though. Maybe 30-40 customers in each bar in the evening, versus maybe just two on the first few days. There were definitely some freelance chicks working the bars last night, two even sat with me for a minute (before the girl I was with chased them away.).
On the repeating / sticking with a girl you like thing, I understand that completely. I think I just lucked out with Punky Tattooed Chick and Cutie With a Booty and I'm tempted to just rotate between them for the remainder of my time in Phuket, because.
Day 9.
Anyway, she was funny and cute. At the beach cafe, I ordered coffee for the first drink. She ordered a cocktail, which she put away in short order. Second drink, I had a cocktail too and she put away another. I'm thinking this girl will be fun to drink with.
I sit down outside, she goes to the toilet. Rain suddenly kicks in and I move inside. Joined at my table my two Thai girls in high heels and little dresses. One short and chubby, the other a leggy little spinner. We've barely said two words, not even got past the 'Where you from?' before GTG comes back from the toilet.
Between us, on top of the skin-full we've already had, we polish off a bottle of Vodka and four big bottles of Chang. When she stands up to go to the toilet, her legs go. She's steaming, I'm steaming. Help her to the toilet, then to the bed. Collapse next to her, both fully dressed, she cuddles in and we're out. [/QUOTE]I never understand enforcement and Thailand. They close Sweetie because they are worried about people not observing social distancing, and then you mention bars with 30-40 customers. Could tea money have anything to do with that? Anyway, if you are not too impaired, I'd be grateful for the names of any bars you recall. I'm on Youtube most days looking for signs of life on Bangla Rd, and it's not a pretty site. It looks like the bailiffs have moved in and carried out a mass eviction. Signs of life will guide my decision to follow up on my trip.
As far as sticking with the same girl is concerned, I am at an age where I haven't got too many more trips in me. So quality rather than quantity of the trip is the guiding light.
Regardless of the closure of bars, it's good to see that there are girls who are pro-actively "job-seeking". I always refer to the "Where you from", as "the job interview". I try be an equal opportunities employer, and even though most of the applicants don't know where Ireland is, I am patient enough to educate them about that and other issue. S.
Regarding your epic drinking feats, I am going to have to get back into condition. I recently had my first drink in a pub in 15 months. Four pints of Guinness and I was trashed.
Keep on, keeping on.
Woman made to quarantine in hotel in Phuket
From the Thaiger. Some woman sat next to a man who tested positive for covid on plane. She was made to quarantine in a different hotel for two weeks. New hotel was 3 times the price as original hotel and not as nice. It's a terrible way to treat a tourist. No govt official has spoken to her. The receptionist at first hotel told her. Actions like this make Thailand look horrible. Why would anyone go there for vacation after seeing this? I love Thailand but it's a shitty place now.
Spend a bunch of money and get treated like shit.

I get that Thailand is really suffering now. Maybe they should say no tourists until they are better vaccinated.

Here is what I posted on Thaiger which might give those considering the trip, something to think about:
"I understand the average monthly salary is in the region of 10 k THB. I am just wondering how a local can afford to be off work for two weeks and pay 4 months salary to go into an enforced ALQ?
There is a real problem with the reporting of these stories in that the info is being received piecemeal. This is the first time I've actually read that the round-ups are including Thais. But why not the aircrew too? Were these 15 internees from the Emirates flight the entire passenger manifest of that flight? Or were there those in Biz /1 sr Class who were deemed safe? Why on a plane with about 300+ economy seats were all these people seated so closely together? I understand that 13 or 14 were in a family group, but did the German lady asked to be seated next to others for the company? How did these two new Farang infections arrive? Have all their close contacts been traced and rounded up?
I can understand a lot of the strategy behind the Thai need to isolate suspects, but surely these cases can be adequately by additional tests on say day's 4 and seven. I understand that currently, all sandbox entrants are required to retest on day 7. If day 7 is good enough to absolutely clear these people, why is it not good enough to clear the other 14 close contacts?
Ireland is starting to show signs of a new wave, Today there was a new infection rate of about 1 per 8 k. By comparison, Phuket looks very good at 1 per 44 k today as compared to the Thai overall total of about 1 per 7500. Even that is far better than the UK at about 1 per 2100. But the overall look of Thailand in general reminds me of watching a disaster movie where a dam is showing cracks and is about to burst, and the greatest stress fracture appears to be above Phuket.
I have a flight booked to arrive on Aug 5th, Right now, I am 90% certain to cancel this. Fortunately, I don't need to make a decision now as I can cancel up to three hours prior to take off and get a full cash refund. But if I knew then, what I know now, I would not have been so swift to get the CC out. ".

PTC sounds like an absolute dream
[QUOTE=JJanni;2576195]So, as it turns out, CWB meant she would do a threesome. But not with this girl, who shall henceforth be known as PTC (Punky Tattooed Chick.) Turns out, PTC was her very best friend. And she even strongly hinted she didn't want me to even see PTC.
She's definitely my type. Punky vibe, purple hair, tattoos and facial piercings. I think she's shorter than CWB, but with a tiny bit more flesh on her bones. Very sweet natured too.[/QUOTE]Dude,
Loving the reports and sounds so awesome. Got my visa done and coming down on the 28th. Can't wait to check out the attractions after a torrid dry spell in Germany.
My request is to kindly share details of PTC via a PM. And if it's not possible then please do let me know where I could look her up amongst the herd.
As for me, I've got a few Suzy Wong women currently based in Phuket to satisfy the need, but perhaps they will demand a higher return on investment including dinner and blah blah blah.
But will only finalize with them when I land since everything else is technically just bullshit LOL.
Thanks for the tips on visa etc.
Used it and got mine done.
Now for the dream to come true.
