  1. Not necessarily the funny thing is that these shots do not prevent you from being a carrier. You can get the shot and still be positive later. The shots do not prevent covid they only minimize the reaction. Therefore you can get on a plane with someone from any country that has been vaxxed and they can still have covid 19 D or L
  2. Then get get your visa sorted, book an ASQ either here or in Phuket, get a ticket and come. No one is stopping anyone from coming here. As stated the country has been open for tourism for almost a year as long as you ASQ.
  3. No one is saying they are going to stop prostitution. However, it is highly likely that given the new tourism of cruise ships and families that Walking street as we knew it is dead. Then again before anyone had heard of covid the owners were complaining that business was dead. Let's face it the area is grungy and run down there really is noting there for a tourist.
  4. I had that idea but there are things we can not talk about on this site.
  5. That is not that hard. When at home do you carry your wallet everywhere. I found out that mine used it on days that I was at home just took it out of the wallet sitting on the desk and put it back when she was done. When I caught her the first time it lined up with me using what I thought was a dodgy atm machine reported it to police she agreed that it must have been then. Foolish me I trusted her.
  6. I still think the best renovation they could do is take down all the businesses on the beach side of Walking Street They do not need a sports arena they need to build things that will make people that do not live in Pattaya want to go there. Thais do not want to see a derelict old looking slum like walking street. Hell Patpong looks more inviting during the day and night.
  7. Nope who is on first base what is on 2nd base and I don't know is on third. Sort of gives a complete run down to things here lol
  8. Not needed MY EX GF simply watched from afar and figured out my ATM card pin. The question I would be asking is what did she do with the money?
  9. This would be very interesting because I am sure that the ingredients they need to make the vaccine are not locally produced. So AZ simply says ok and stops delivery of products and voids the contracts. Forget about international think ASEAN how do you think the Philippines, Indonesia and the rest of the ASEAN countries that are getting AZ will feel when their source dries up. Imagine another Thai business in the Future trying to get a contract let alone what it will do to SB and it's shareholders who I am sure will be sued by everyone under the sun.
  10. A friend just went to the US to get vaxxed and will have to do the 14 days in quarantine when he comes back in September. Things change but things may also stay the same. LOL
  11. Hey it could be worse you could be living in the land of Oz where they have 1 person test positive and they shut down the entire city. I noticed that that new article has not made it here https://www.foxnews.com/world/australias-capital-city-to-enforce-snap-lockdown
  12. Interesting there is absolutely nothing on their website about the tuk tuk. You would think that they would be advertising it and talking it up. Oh yeah same day this gets out their stock drops in price. I have the same concerns how fast does it go how far does it go and how long does it take to charge and where can i charge it besides at home. I can see hotels using it but I do not see a viable use for tuk tuk drivers or for the average person.
  13. Don't forget checking out all the young ladies. Best way to meet Thai men sit out front and put a bottle of Johnny on the table. Best way to meet Thai women do your own laundry and cleaning while smiling and saying wadii to them.
  14. The trick with gold is to buy a little every month or set up a system that way you get the gold cost averaging. Much like investing in stocks or such if you either buy a little or put away X dollars for a couple of months but do it religiously it is best. A lot of people talk about crypto and it may also be a good bet but I think if the dollar or baht goes south then getting the money could be interesting and not everyone will accept. There are many companies in the U.S and UK that you can buy paper gold where they stock it for you and give you a certificate. Personally I am not looking to leave Thailand so happy with Thai gold although I wished it moved more Also do not forget that if you buy it in the U.S. I think you have to pay tax on it as a capital Gain I am sure someone that is from the US can clarify that please
  15. If the protestors can show that they are not using these things fine but I am sure based on past protests that there are idiots in the protest group that are doing it. Let's face it there are always going to be people that use a peaceful protest to create mayhem and break laws. Smart thing for the protestors to do is turn in people they see using them to the police.
  16. The one group that you mention that I disagree with is the landlords. Most landlords have mortgages. I have yet to hear of a bank saying that they are going to wave the mortgage payments for people. Yes they can not foreclose but if you look at things from a financial point of view people are going to have to pay penalties for late payment or the banks are going to require longer payment plans. I may be wrong and I hope I am but i see a huge jump in foreclosures and houses on the market at lower than market prices once this thing starts to wind down and the government removes the foreclosure freeze. As to businesses that rent their facility again that is why it is best just to go out of business. You have nothing that you have to pay. You can store stock or instead of paying rent and everything just live with what you have. Then when the market starts to get better you can look and see if there are better places at better prices for your business. The person with the money and plan is going to come out of this in the best condition and I am not talking about rich people.
  17. No I am equal pay for equal work. The big difference in all this is that the women had just negotiated a contract that gave them everything they asked for at the time. If they get more because they are successful then they would be willing to give back everything they get if they are not right. The men's contract is based on how they do with a small amount for training. This is because most of the men's team play Pro ball and are already covered for medical and everything. They also if they are contracted to the team make a minimum of 100k a year. the senior tier 1 players make 167k The big difference is the pay out at tournaments and tornament payouts are decided by the tournament not the countries. The women's
  18. From NANA the best way to get the DMK by transit is walk to Asoke get MRT TO BANG SUE get on the red line. http://www.gregtodiffer.com/finally-a-mostly-real-map-of-bangkoks-transit-future/#post/0
  19. All the women and their mouthpiece did was bad mouth the US. To me the U.S. Women's team is a bunch of spoilt babies. They sign a contract and agree to it. Then they not only want to keep everything in their contract but they also want all the benefits that the men's team gets. While the Men's team got one of the benefits that they had.
  20. Businesses will fold and doors will be closed. signs may change but once the green light is given most of these businesses will reopen. Possibly under new management but they will open. I am sure most of the people that have shops in MBK have closed their business and gone out of business. How long do you think it will be before they open again. Yes there will be some that can not make it but they will be replaced by people that saved their money and can get going quick and cheap.
  21. The Olympics are a joke. Considering that they are supposed to be apolitical there sure was a lot of wokeness. Glad the American women only got bronze. Also glad to see Thaialnd get a couple of medals. Well done.
  22. Well at leasst the government was smart enough to keep the farmers happy by extending the price protection imagine if they had upset them. The roads into BKK would be full and the PT would be screaming form the rooftops
  23. Gf works in a hospital so she as already instituted most of these rules but added the sleeping in a different room. Avoiding is not p[oasible so hugging with her facing away is the closest I get ???? The funny thing is that being locked down with nothing to do is a great way to increase the population. Canadians in Ontario might remember the big freeze in the late 90's the birth rate took a huge jump in the fall winter of that year
