[QUOTE=Smoothy;2600747]Why "donate" the vaccine? Thailand has plenty of money to buy those vaccines themselves. Thailand is also manufacturing vaccine in Thailand, but from what I understand they are selling most of that outside of Thailand for a profit rather than administering it to Thais.[/QUOTE]I certainly hope you are wrong about this. Thailand can't fully open until they vaccinate at a minimum 40-50% of their population.

[QUOTE=Sunlover2;2600706]Analisa has been around for a while: [URL]https://www.analisamassage.com/[/URL].[/QUOTE]That was an amazing recommendation. I have found it a bit tiring looking at sourcing talent locally. And was about to return to Phuket where it was easier to come by. Changed my mind after discovering this place. Convenient and top notch service. The usually massage places have so much drama around nana demanding 2 k for a BJ. Here it was 1 k and amazing women.

Twice per day is still not enough hahaha.

Thank you for the recommendation.

[QUOTE=Allover;2601061]I certainly hope you are wrong about this. Thailand can't fully open until they vaccinate at a minimum 40-50% of their population.[/QUOTE]More than 50% of the vaccine produced in Thailand is exported.

[QUOTE=Explorer8939;2601255]More than 50% of the vaccine produced in Thailand is exported.[/QUOTE]You are correct but let's be clear this is not a decision Thailand can make. These decisions are being made by AstraZeneca. Thailand is negotiating to be able to keep more doses in the country but Thailand is producing the vaccine for AstraZeneca and they decide where to ship and which orders to fill.

That might not be true in some outlying provinces where the spread and risk of infection is still very low. But talking to taxi drivers, shop workers and even the hookers in Bangkok on the topic, the only ones who have not already gotten at least that first jab or has a pending appointment for themselves or for all adult family members in the provinces are the ones who don't want to get a jab out of fear or because they believed rumors about it not helping to prevent serious illness or death.

I see vaccination clinics set up here and there every day in my travels around the city. And they are not swamped with desperate takers. AstraZeneca must be aware of this and is not going to only produce enough vaccine doses to jab Thais who might or might not bother to get a jab for months if ever.

I don't think anyone in a high infection rate area of Thailand is being denied an effective vaccine jab because someone in another country is buying them up and hogging all the doses.

[QUOTE=Smoothy;2601440]Well then, take off the masks and open the borders! Things are fine as you report it![/QUOTE]My contacts in BKK, Jomtien, Samui, and Phuket have received at least one jab. One contact in Issan is well connected and has received two jabs. Others in Issan, Chiang Rai, and Chiang Mai have received nothing and don't know how to go about getting the vaccine. That's consistent with ET's hypothesis that things may be different in the outlying provinces.

As of August 30, Thailand was only 11.2% fully vaccinated and 33.6% partly vaccinated. Long way to go.

Went for a walk through cowboy yesterday. I noticed the bar on the corner of soi 23 is stirring again. I won't name it but anyone around knows which bar I am referring to. Even though it is a well known gogo it operated as a "massage parlor" the last time all the gogos were shut. Now that massage places are open again for foot massages I guess it will be able to provide "foot massages".

Based on their numbers it's actually 87% with 27% having received 2 jabs. So this clearly shows the disparity between Bangkok and the rest of the country. I'm not sure if the numbers are reliable.

The craziest thing was that during the massage she was whispering in my ear that how she is going to fuck my ass and destroy my asshole. This made me nervous but also really turned me on.
[/QUOTE]Love girls who talk dirty and try to scare you like that. Remember a gorgeous girl at Lords' soapie who suddenly started shouting "More powu, more powu" in the missionary position. I turned on the jack-hammer and can't even figure out where the strength to keep going and going came from. More importantly for me, it turned off all thoughts of popping prematurely which I am prone to. The bones in the area ached for a long time after that with all the slamming.

Don't need to go through the math to see that very little is left for other parts of Thailand.

It does make sense to vaccinate urban and tourist locations first.

[QUOTE=Smoothy;2601440]Well then, take off the masks and open the borders! Things are fine as you report it![/QUOTE]Who said anything about things being fine? The way this Pandemic developed and this virus behaves, as long as a significant percentage of people in a country or the world is not vaccinated, for whatever reason, things will not be fine.

Being vaccinated only greatly reduces the chance of you getting seriously ill enough to require hospitalization or die. With the new Variants, being vaccinated appears to only somewhat prevent you from still being infected and testing positive for Covid while it appears to do little or nothing to prevent you from being a carrier to the unvaccinated.

Moreover, it is the unvaccinated (by choice or circumstances beyond their control) who are providing host bodies for the virus to replicate and mutate into variants that very well might evade the protections of all current vaccines.

Consequently, it is prudent for Thailand to see to it that a much greater percentage of its residents be vaccinated, at least among those who routinely interact with the public, so as not to produce a never ending cycle of infection mutations.

The borders are open. You are not banned or forbidden to enter Thailand even if your place of residence is Florida. Do what is necessary to arrive here and enjoy.

Masks are still required in public, although not much once you are inside a restaurant. Here in Bangkok the only P4P-related places that I know of that are closed are bars and discos. Some bars are doing what they can to pass for being a restaurant. Massage shops are open including known Happy Ending ones. I don't really know about soapies. You can still order booze in most restaurants in the lower Sukhumvit area, they'll just serve it to you in a mug or cup.

Malls and shops are open. Cinemas have not reopened in Bangkok yet.
