Would you go to a football stadium with no game?

That is for covid cover only and quite cheap, but if you are Staying longer than a month, correct me if I am wrong, then you need health insurance on top of That as well

They can prove this easily as the transaction origin is overseas, happened to me, after purchasing an airline ticket, 3 transactions were made later that day but came from a USA department store, the bank rang me before I noticed it. They re versed the transactions and sent me a new card.

Chinese also come to get out of tour bus, stand on beaches, smoke cigarette, get back into tour bus, travel to Chinese owned restaurant, eat quickly, back to bus, back to Chinese owned hotel, back to bus, tip driver and back to airport, oh along with shopping from Chinese owned factory shops. That's what they did when I drove tour busses in NZ.

I am, sorry, but I agree this one day quarantine, take our RT PCR and buy our portable test kit, take our taxi to the hotel, even for returning Thai looks like costs could escalate with one positive on the plane.

The rules need to be clarified as I read another news report that had many variants including a non vaccinated option, and also COE, being required, as to RT, PCR being required also 72 hrs b4 departure, that costs 450 NZ per person, so for 3 of us nearly 1500 dollars NZ b4 departure, wife and son have Thai citizenship, stay in quarantine, plus more test expenses and purchasing test kits. Then if returning to Nz up to 12000 NZ dollars for MIQ, that's if you can get a booking. Happy birday, Happy birday, Happy birday to you.

Rome had a sex industry thousands of years ago, its the oldest profession in the world, every country has one, Germany has huge industry, nothing new here, whatever happens it will reinvent itself

A big protest coming up, please leave my falung husband alone, he has enough problems to take care for me and family.

Oh and I forgot I had to have a MRI at Udon Thani military hospital as well it cost me 10,000 Bhat, to get a MRI in NZ would cost me 100,000 Bhat unless the government paid for it, privately the cost would be 100k Thai Bhat, so very cheap in LOS.

No reciprocal agreements with Thailand, so if you are over 75 it's tough either cough up 20k USD per year or get an agent, very sad, Covid-19 cover is easy but the other insurance is not available over 75,unless you pay the extortion fees, I found Thai public hospitals very reasonable and there never was a runner problem until one example was used, most people that had accidents used crowd funding, usually young travellers, but its never seemed to be a problem, when I had to stay in hospital for a accident they took my passport, no problem after one week in hospital and an operation I gladly paid for my bill, 35000 and with my own room.

He who pays the piper calls the tune! Without mentioning names I think some Thai Insurance companies are thinking they will cash in on the gold rush, falungs flying into LOS by the plane loads, after the enlightened ones open the gates, 7 eleven Tesco will have live concerts outside, beer will flow, happy birday to you.

Larrys Rebels , put out a version,Australia and NZ early 70s

The smokers I drink with will have none off this,they continue to puff away even though they are supposed to walk away from others in a shop bar

It’s behind the smoke screen

It’s the general consensus amongst every bar owner I have ever known that you never make money just tick over. Every time I saw a new Falung open a bar with a new idea, the opening night was huge then back to ticking over. But your right there has been a drop in patronage, maybe because the shear number of Bars has increased, soi 80 Huahin started a few years ago with a few good bars then a few years later the Whole soi was converted into bars, more sois followed suite. Same going for anyone opening a new food stall with a new Idea, tomorrow ten more will copy and open around you. Thats just a sign of how difficult earning a living these days is.

The biggest worry I have is for my Thai family and all Thai people who well maybe kicked off their street vendor business, market traders, may be swallowed up by Chinese investments, Bars shutdown may never recover, look forward to sitting in socially distanced beech chairs and sipping coffee

I can see a growing market in health clubs, spas, natural healing camps, but nudists camps will not be allowed

Delta, did that not start in India, suddenly they are on the list, even though they have done a good job at treating their people, very well actually. Might as well open the gate Pratunam Burt. Watergate Open. to all countries , does that mean planes will fly again??

About 4k NZ your up for MIQ on return, if you can get a booking, currently booked out for months. + family if your not alone, discounts for family are available but thats an even harder booking slot to get. Then if you went to LOS for 30 day visa exempt you would have to show a MIQ booking that coincided with a return ticket, not that simple.

Im happy with my shop Bar, and there was a few around my area, I don't think they will close them down ,but Walking street and a few others I can only guess will fall to Chinese establishments. The bar areas will move a bit but will reinvent themselves, just as if my wife sold sausages on a corner , soon another sausage seller will open next to her.

If America had to fight another war in Cambodia, or Laos, Vietnam, R and R could save Nana.

It may not be his wish, but rather a look at things to come in the future, while covid locked down and closed Walking Street, property deals may have been done, we may now see all the night life going into Hotels, big discos and girls controlled by the venues. All the small buildings will be knocked down, you will have to pay to enter, the rest will become money exchanges and gold shops. I only saw this in a nightmare last night, I awoke in a sweat and took 2 aspirin and went back to bed.

Yes , I was there then, and clubs survived in buildings, and nice disco bars were in nice hotels the girls dressed beautiful looked beautiful and the service was as good as ever, only Singapore invested in infrastructure and clean streets, no more sack over the drain. Thailand still wants smelly drains, no bars and hi class tourists, I guess covid could solve the smelly drain problem if your sense of smell was gone.
