Rants, Stupid Shit and Coronavirus in Thailand

[HorseTrader]

Just finished a video chat with a farm girl in Buriram. Her village has much COVID, but new sick people are neither seeking medical attention nor being tested. A common villager opinion is that the doctors and hospitals have no way of helping COVID patients but might force them to live their final days away from family.

I don't know how widespread these views are held, but it makes me think that the recent new COVID case counts of about 13,000 per day is much less than reality.

Some of us are blessed with some disposable income while others out there are suffering a lot through these very difficult financial times. This girl saw a lady selling chicken and rice had very poor sales. What did she do? She bought all 140 orders from the vendor and donated the food to the elderly. Cost a mere 12k baht.

Why am I posting this on a sex board? The girl is cute.

So what does approval mean?

It means some entity has the Green Light to go make a Boatload of money.

Will it help the situation? Maybe. First things first. Make Boatload of money. LOL.

Thai Visa will give you a sense of what's happening on the Ground. Not good.

One. Thais don't want Sinovac.

Two. The stuff they want just not available.

Appointment s are being cancelled left and right.

Three. Thais don't want foreingers there. Or at least that is what the polls reported on Thai Visa say.

True. A few bargirls, taxi drivers and hotel and bar owners might miss what was happening here during "normal" times. But not many other Thais. They get along without us very well thanks.

Really not a start.

Start is when you get rid of all the nonsensical paperwork.

Vaccinated people.

Thailand was pushing 40 million tourists a year in 2019. So 8,000 applications is not a promising start. But it is a start.

[AggieDad1]

Per AN, there have been 8000 COE applications worldwide for the Phuket sandbox. Some are rejected. Is it me or does 8000 sound extremely low and irrelevant to put even a minute dent in the Thai economy.

Thailand finally approves Pfizer so fully vaccinated Americans can now confidently enter Thailand without being afraid of being turned away at Immigration after a 20 hour flight.

And remember Monkeypaw's post #1180 entitled "Chaos before 69" in this same thread? Well 69th (was delayed a year) just happened a few weeks ago. So are we nearing this time for big change? Anyways, Andrea Meza (Mexico) took the crown, Julia Gama (Brazil) was first runner up, and Janick Maceta (Peru) was 2nd runner up. But Monkeypaw's top 3 is different. Winner Alina Sanko (Russia). First runner up Thuzar Wint Lwin (Myanmar). Second runner up Maria Thattil (Australia). Honorable mentions goes to Cristiana Silva (Portugal) and Adline Castelino (India). Reminder to Google image search to see all angles of the 69th Miss Universe ladies, than what the article shows. Does Monkeypaw still have that third eye?

My choices for Miss Universe are 1) Nepal, 2) China, 3) Uruguay with Miss India being an honorable mention. I hate dealing with the soi dogs but I'm guessing you just keep moving and try not to show fear. You are the boss, not them.

There is a street in Montrose (Houston) named after the town a one time Mayor's mother came from. Tuam.

A couple of blocks away, there was eccentric after hours nightclub called "Numbers".

Speaking of numbers, a long time ago I wrote about the 66 and 666, numbers always coming into my life. When we lived in St. Louis, with the "Arch," but I am often reminded in my case, it is pronounced ""Ark," had Route 66 run right through it. The first two digits of our address where I grew up was 66. The 3 digits after the area code on our phone was 999 (666 not allowed in USA). Thailand's country code, where I am at today, is +66. I get this email the other day with 66 and 666 specials from TOPS. And who could ever forget the 666 shadow from my taxi ride awhile back. Guess this devil won't ever let me go, but thank God I am who I am, right? So many times, when I wander late at night near Kophai, those packs of territorial Soi dogs charge, growl, and bark. Monkeypaw just looks straight ahead, keeps calm, and struts at the same pace. Too bad I don't know how to whistle or I would. And trust me, those dogs get close enough to sniff, but have yet to bite. I think ice water runs through my veins. Guided, protected, aura? Cesar Milan would be proud.

Do I need to worry about the Mafia moving in or do I just carry on without a care in the world?

I'm asking because a youtber who has been in Pattaya says no such thing as Mafia in Pattaya.

Kind of like the Mayor saying no Prostitution there either.

Not sure what people think mafia is or is not. Hopefully, it's not from the movies. Real mafia knows how to blend in. When Pattaya is full of crowds and weekend millionaires, they become weekend millionaires. When Pattaya is not, then they become Cheap Charlies. This is how they are successful, playing chameleon, playing spy, and traveling. Own nothing, but still live a lifestyle of freedom that others envy. Just be smart about it. Hotels and Uber Black versus a mansion and Ferrari. Blend in, but there is always going to be something special that will separate them from the others. Too bad Pablo Escobar didn't have this wisdom. It's all about "freedom" and having your cake and being able to eat when you want to, of if you don't even want to.

The "Third Eye Bunny" is a famous painting next to the Wave Hotel on Beach Road. Look the hotel sign next to it. Deep Blue Z10. How ironic is that? It's that eye for wisdom, insight, and beauty. Reminds me of the story about Jack Rabbit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTjPXjm00nw (The Jack Rabbit and the Box Turtle).

It's not the same kid story that you've heard before. And the Jack Rabbit's prize for winning? At this point, it is relaxing on Pattaya Beach, sipping a White Russian, with a hint of vanilla. Who is your favorite Playboy? And by night, get a visit from a different kind of white Russian that I met years back for a couple thousand baht. But I guess they are all starving now. She may have worked on Walking Street at Angels or Galaxy, or maybe both. Perhaps Angels from another galaxy?

I get it you are Alexandria Cortez type, anti capitalist.

But when making arguments keep it Real.

Blu Radisson did not cost $7 billion.

Hahaha.

You are absolutely correct. Sorry I missed that. Radisson's revenue was actually closer to 7. 3 billion. I forget that all our minds don't function the same. Some think on a micro level, others on a macro. It's like a chicken, pretending to be a duck, trying to give flight lessons to an eagle on how to soar. Anyways, what the daddy company makes, so gets the son. It's like the trinity thing right? Father, Son, and Holy Ghost? Rad / is / son Blu. So who is the most rad and the coolest son? The Blue is a given.

Thailand is one of the very few countries I have mongered in in which I got a real girlfriend (not a hooker GF). She was a Buddhist. She introduced me to her parents and siblings and taught me a lot about Thai society. She took me inside the temple with the huge golden statue of Buddha near China town. They are indeed a spiritual people and I have great respect for them.

Years ago, for a few days, I was a crazed homeless monk in Bangkok hiding from the Lumpini cops. I wore my white robe and slippers from the Maitria Hotel Sukhumvit 18, while roaming the streets and the malls. A girl working as a juice vendor gave me a pomegranate drink by the Exchange Tower, an older farang bought me a watermelon shake at a cafe in the atrium of the Ambassador Hotel, a girl working at a tennis shoes shop in Terminal 21 offered me a free pair of sneakers, and a young Thai guy gave me 20 baht at the bus stop. During that same time, when the devil was also in my head, the Thai police drugged me trying to get payoff (didn't work), a couple of bums tried to rob me at a bus stop while I was trying to sleep, and I got chased by lots of locals who didn't want me in their businesses.

The world opened it up and showed its true nature to me. Back then and even as of now, this world belongs to the evil. This was all a part of my training with the spirit world. It was part of my journey in finding myself. I can tell you now, that spirituality has much to do with the mind. Our actions are not our own. We are controlled by forces greater than ourselves. Be wary of ego, and embrace empathy. And when I mean ego, it may be difficult for some to understand. So they should just focus on greater good and lesser evil. Because the idea of God as almighty, that itself, can be confused when it comes to ego. The mind is the battlefield where spiritual warfare happens. And our wisdom, and being able to act on that wisdom to gain certain rewards in life, dictate which side has the advantage with our soul. I'm just lucky, I am guided in this. Mind, spirit, soul is all in one. This is the "Blue" print I used to understand spirituality. It goes beyond Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity. But the common denominator in most religions or beliefs are spiritual beings called Angels. So, I guess I am not the next great Buddha. Monkeypaw strongly advises this read.

Police put their foot down on Nightwish Group according to a girl who just left my room.

30 days before you posted this, I said. "I see that NightWish has taken upon themselves to control more aspects of the livestreams with their own site. Management obvious want the stupid girls to stay stupid, so there is more control. Feel sorry if they ever piss off a girl or whistleblower because we are still in lockdown and no gatherings allowed ". Who is like Nostrodamus? Or better yet, Who is like God?
