Rants, Stupid Shit and Coronavirus in Thailand

[Radical Guy]

Can we go back on topic and talk about Pattaya?

Covid discussion are so. 2021.

Exactly! As for me, people can wear HAZMAT suits if they so choose, but don't dictate to me what I should or shouldn't be wearing.

If masks don't help, I wonder why general fatalities dropped a ton when doctors started to use masks 150 years ago.

Don't spread BS. Sure they won't help you recover if you already have it, but help to protect you from getting it if you don't, and prevent you from spreading it if you do.

Now I'm just waiting for someone to say that condoms don't prevent HIV LOL because it's the exact same game. A barrier that the virus can't pass through in either direction.

Except that the HIV virus cannot penetrate a latex barrier. On the other hand, Covid virus is too small to be blocked by those stupid masks that most of the sheeple wear.

Somebody made an observation that when ebola was out they had to put on all this shit, but when covid came out they only said put this cloth over your mouth. I can only speak on the personal side of the game. No shots for me and I hung out A LOT in some pretty shady places in the last 3 years and no signs of the disease. Plus I have asthma which is a supposed to mean that I am more susceptible. Meanwhile I know people that got plenty of Faucci Ouchies like Ex and did everything as prescribed and still got the disease. I find it funny that now that the end of the emergency has been declared, people still want to debate about it and others still want more shots.

And by the way, the masks do not help

Getting covid in 2021 was no big deal for me. I'm 67 and in good health. My symptoms (which lasted about three days) consisted of slight fever, slight headache, temporary loss of taste, feeling a little sluggish. Hell, I have had hangovers, colds and and flu that were much, much worse. This was after I had the two mandatory shots (Pfizer) and one booster. I got it from a buddy who lived in my house. He was unvaccinated and his symptoms were the same as mine and lasted for him about a week. If you take hydroxychloroquine and zinc together you can reduce the duration and the severity of the symptoms (for common cold, too). The USA Government (and perhaps others) doesn't want you to know about this remedy because they would rather scare you into submission and ensure Big Pharma gets their huge income on this. Sure, people have died from covid but most if not all had pre-existing respiratory conditions. It's actually better if you DO get covid because your body will then produce the antibodies to prevent recurrence. And by the way, the masks do not help and there is significant scientific evidence emerging and proving that the boosters can cause harm to your body and even death. The long-term effects are yet to be determined in longitudinal studies. So, I'm not getting any more fucking boosters no matter what the fucking idiots in government say. That's my. 02 or should I say two bucks thanks to the inflation caused by the Chinese covid and our idiot president the mumbling, bumbling, stumbling, creepy, sleepy joe biden and all you fucking idiot dumbocrats that voted for him. Thank God I live in PI now but the Filipinos are lemmings and continue to wear the useless masks to my chagrin. Cheers. Get laid and don't worry about the fucking Chinese covid.

You have certainly done your research on a whole host of issues, the same as this guy:

Read up on Vaccinations Bro the COVID ones. We don't want to lose you.

I plan to get vaccination #9 in the US later this month. Meanwhile, no signs of Covid symptoms for me.

I am in Bali with the twins at the moment. Of course, they sleep all morning unless I wake them for breakfast. We have 2 rooms, so I switch them up, mostly based on who complains of medical problems the least before bedtime.

I've got one more day in Bali, then a day in Pattaya, and then off to Samui for a short stay. After that, I will be entertaining ladies in my condo for a week. Day 14 should be interesting bevause the bars will be closed.

The lady who went with me 3 nights ago just tested positive for Covid-19.

Let's hope my 8 vaccinations pull me through again.

Make sure you run the microwave with the door open for a bit. Recharge those microchips with microwaves.

No but seriously, hope you don't catch it. Of if you do, I hope it's just flu-ish. Good luck.

I am an experienced traveler to Thailand (10+ trips) and considering a return in February 2023. I have not left the states since 2020 because Covid travel rules were often complicated and confusing. But I am still confused by what is written and discussed (here and other sites) about recent potential travel related issues. So I thought I would see if I could get a response to my specific questions without a Rtff response, which I have! I am sure the information will be useful to many others given the most recent post on the matter was June of 2022. If you'd rather reply via private message, please do!

1. I see, since June 2022, that a test or vaccination proof is not required to enter the Kingdom. But I am unclear if insurance is required should you get Covid in Thailand and be forced to stay or become hospitalized. Is medical insurance (trip specific or otherwise) required? I am fully vaccinated and boosted and will seek another booster before I would go.

2. Is this insurance where the Thailand pass comes in? Never had to apply for a Thai Pass for any trip before.

3. If you contract Covid and test positive in Thailand, do you quarantine in hotels selected by the Thai Govt or are you just required to quarantine somewhere at your own expense?

4. If you have to quarantine and miss your flight home, do the airlines generally waive associated change fees?

5. Less concerned about traveling back home, but recent experiences getting back into the states would be most welcome. Especially if testing prior to return flight is required and / or wise. From what I read, it is no longer required for citizens upon return after June 12,2022, but I would assume having my vaccination Record Card would be wise.

Thanks in advance.

1. Nothing is required, but travel insurance is never a bad idea considering how cheap it is, and will pretty much solve any of these problems you listed

2. Thailand pass no longer exists. You just walk through at the airport nothing more.

3. Don't know.

4. Probably airline specific -- but travel insurance would sure help here to alleviate any issues.

5. Nothing is required to return.

Did you read 11 Bravo's recent reports on 11-12-22 and 11-13-22 in the Bangkok thread ref his experience with Covid?

Also, don't you take out travel insurance? If yes, just take out insurance that covers Covid and flight changes due to illness.

Glad to hear the Thai Pass is no longer. I just found what appears to be a recent Youtube video that explains a 6-8 step process to getting the QR code. Of particular concern to me was paid lodging reservations that could be confirmed for one's first 7 days, or so in the Kingdom. I dislike those commitments; prefering to only make 2-3 days in BKK upon arrival before I move on. This time, I am considering a trip to Koh Chang with a stopover in Pattaya going down and back.

Yeah that is old news. Over and out. I also forgot to mention you won't be testing for Covid anyway unless you choose to. You are good. All the Covid stuff is over with the exception of masks but they are not mandatory and like you know. Asian's wear those masks a lot anyways.

[LookingToSwing4]

NO. You don't need any Covid tests or Insurance. There is no more Thai Pass. If you test positive you will buy treatment but there is no more "Prison. ".

This info is easily verified. Plus you got vaxed so you are 100% good.
