There was a possibility that I would have to go to Dubai on business in February, and although it's been agreed I can operate from Thailand instead I checked airfares. One-way to has a lowest fare of under 9000 baht, with business class under 20,000. Return is a little higher. So half what they would normally cost, except for business which is even less.

Flights I looked at in January from uk to Bkk one way were £720 with eva non stop or via Dubai with 3 hr stop £620 ! I paid £540 one way out of Bkk to uk with eva in June .

The problem for me is that I was not told when the results would be issued. Just a big window. Hope its gotten better.

Yeah I have read of some people here waiting at the airport for their test to return just hours before flights. Seems to be the quicker and more guaranteed you want it the more the companies are charging. I found one in uk that was £150 for the test with 48 hrs maximum before they email your test results. Some countries are only charging equivalent of £30-60 for the same test . 

Made me laugh the last two flights I was on in Thailand and international out to uk. All the sanitizer , masks etc . Seat spacing in departure area with every second seat crossed out . Yet in these seats you had people sitting back to back and then when I got on the plane every seat was taken ???? . Pointless exercise for show !

As far as I understand it is 72 hrs from test results issued you have to board the plane .

They are being quarantined at a local sports stadium in Samut Prakan. It has a wall, said Yingyot.

A wall says you , how splendid . Trump would be jealous I bet ! ????

So this lot all decided to pack up at the same time and though where shall we go ? Then picked some place in the middle of nowhere to get dropped off ????

I have bought the Makro brand cheddar ( Aro ) before and find it pretty good, last time I bought Pauli brand, big mistake, tasteless !!

The Branston tip is good, gonna check that out right now.

Can usually get branston pickle in makro also , although not always in small jars size . Although maybe cheaper on lazada. One thing I did find on lazada far cheaper was lemon curd ????. Tesco wanted 240 bht for a jar and I think was 120bht on lazada. 

Having been in uk since June after 13 years in Thailand I realise there is very little here I miss and when I return to Thailand I won’t be returning again to uk unless for a family funeral . Access to all of amazon here helps for buying things , cost for simple things like deodorant/ shower gels/ shaving foam etc is far cheaper for decent stuff , aftershave and perfume is a million times cheaper for originals not copy , decent clothes that fit as most places in Bkk malls the designer shops only have Thai size . But I don’t miss the food here , cheese is far cheaper though  , lucozade is available everywhere and seeing the variation of decent and nice looking cars that cost peanuts here does make me miss driving a decent car .

Day release prisoner !!

Welcome to the race . Now here is your wooden spoon , because as always with Thailand everything is an afterthought ! ????

Relieves the burden of people hit by the fallout ? When ? I know plenty of Thais who have zero income and haven’t had for months since all their work places closed or basically have little customers to justify staying open in their business  !

As far as I remember reading most foods naturally have some form of msg in low amounts in them . The problem with the powder they put in Thai food is they put far too much compared to what is actually needed for one meal and it can cause people to feel dizzy and nauseous. 

Look at all them dirty infected farang in that list !!  Oh wait erm oops ????????

Any luck this outbreak might cost him his position in charge . Hopefully everyone will see through how inept those in charge are when needed once and for all and the people of the country will actually say enough is enough !

Where's he from?

The family are from samui as far as I remember as they own loads of land there  , from talking to the son he went to the best schools etc and their opening party had famous people from tv etc attending who all seemed to know the owners .

All the people go to coco tams as it’s the place to get your Instagram photo for those who want to be noticed on their social media in Bangkok. Long weekends it’s full as they all come in from Bkk . Plus the owners son has a lot of friends he knows from Bangkok as does the family and they are well known in Bangkok circles and most well to do people from Bkk would come to say hi as a point . These people don’t go to the average bar or restaurant on a street . So Sofitel in Bangkok is full also at weekends of similar groups when they have a pool party and rest of week it’s quiet.

So, when do they start welding people into their condos?

Or you could weld the diseased into all the empty condos around the country for sale and then tell them if they buy one they get a free vaccine and set free ! ????
