  1. Epic that someone would want to make that claim, just to say… the first stoner to die from a bong hit lol
  2. 737 (minus the Max, which Boeing should never have launched like they did) is one of the safest planes every built.
  3. I believe masks helps, but have you ever picked up your child from school and checked their mask out? My sons masks is filthy, no way that is healthy for him. These kids grab the front of their masks all day, they fall on the floor, etc.
  4. Get rid of the mask mandate and ill be more inclined to return to TH. Living here in the US at the moment with no mask requirements and its wonderful
  5. Use them for business and plan to get away from them ASAP, locked me out of my account and made it a massive hassle to get back in. Would be interesting to meet the management, then fire them
  6. No successful Democracies allowed so close to China, everything Thailand fought so hard to create over so many decades, the Chinese are taking away in a blink of an eye
  7. Doesn't matter, nobody is coming ATM and nobody will notice when they do... its all baked into the airfare - hippy isn't going to skip TH because his flight went from 800 to 810 USD
  8. Even bad publicity is good publicity, we even know which sub soi it’s on lol
  9. There is so much garbage everywhere I have gone in this country over the last 15 years. Side of the road, in a field, on the beach.. the way it gets dumped into the environment here is heart breaking. There is an island of trash floating in the Gulf of Thailand thats many KM long. Happy to see the reduction of plastic bags at 7 and such, but it would take education and decades of clean up to really turn things around here...
  10. its all about treatments now... vaccines cannot keep up with variants. The pill, the IV drip... all need to be the focus of this government now that vaccines are readily available and not as effective as against Delta & Wuhan strains ... the next variant will be even more transmissible, its endemic
  11. It's news already that cloth coverings don't slow the spread of Omicron as with previous variants (agree or not) .. and before you jump on my back, we wear masks everywhere and are very careful. The news is Omicron is that contagious .. luckily its "mild" compared to Delta and the original strain, still waiting to hear how mild, triple vaccinated friend was just hospitalized with Omicron, he and 49 of his colleagues all caught it on a business trip to NYC. They tested negative PCR before their flight home, and negative on return, then a few days later they were all sick... he was given Monoclonal Antibody treatment. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/12/23/1066871176/mask-n95-omicron-contagious
  12. Good News, hopefully it takes over and replaces Delta... beginning of the end maybe?
  13. Every country can handle Omicron, its mild and nothing to get excited about. Open the doors, let it come in and replace Delta -
  14. Been driving here in Sukhumvit for well over a decade now Me first mentality on the roads Ill do whatever is convenient for me, no matter how it effects everyone around me Cannot allow merging of cars, see rule 1 Drivers in their black vans, laws do not apply, also see rule 1 Bus drivers and taxi drivers, not sure what they are on still.. but its not good Lastly, sense of entitlement stylized driving Stats for Thai Road Deaths are nearly on par with homicide rates in the US. Wasting your time and energy thinking it will improve... it is what it is, be defensive and drive a safe car. We do not do Tuk Tuks, Motorbikes, and avoid walking on the streets...
  15. Just got out of quarantine- about 10 hours in total. Super easy, glad they PCR upon arrival, too many people can fake their results to fly
  16. It’s probably in the wild, globally speaking, agree that targeted restrictions from Africa could slow the eventually spread (if its got a competitive advantage)
  17. As previously shared, we just arrived and the whole process has been simple and easy… totally reasonable
  18. We are at the Airport Novotel now, arrived last night at midnight, 1 person in line in front of us at check in, PCR test took a few minutes, no line. Arrival about an hour earlier with paper work (QR code, PCR test results) was very smooth, lots of staff to process us. They ask for boarding pass, QR code, and test results. Do not fold your QR code, they cannot scan it… you can also show them a copy of your code on a phone. They would need to scale once numbers of travelers increase.. but for now, I would say come… waiting for our results now, was told 6 to 10 hours, we are at 9 hours now and no results yet… they said as soon as results come, we can go if negative. Its basically test and go… just waiting in a hotel room. I would not want to be waiting at the airport with the kids, etc.
  19. Asking for a friend, and ill be sure to visit Pattaya to do my part (even though I normally don’t go) lol - Su Su Bill!
