  1. Here is the odd part. I know someone who had symptoms at about day 5 but his first ATK came back Negative. He tested again on Day 7 and it came back positive. He was fully vaccinated and isolated at home per CDC guidelines. HIs symptoms were a sore throat, stuffy noise, mild cough but no fever. At day 9 he conducted another ATK test and it came back Negative. This is a healthy male in his 50's without any of the underlying risk factors. For him the entire Covid 19 contact, isolating and self testing was 10 days. He never saw a doctor or went to a hospital. This example is of someone in the USA and not Thailand.
  2. In the US(especially California where I worked) making an actual Driving Under the Influence arrest is very complicated. . Field alcohol screening machines are generally not admissible in court because they are deemed to be highly unreliable. An actual breath test must be conducted at the jail and two valid breath samples must be obtained from the driver. This is somewhat like an ATK test versus a PCR test. LOS has a long way to go in order to properly enforce DUI laws. I just can't see the RTP investing that kind of money and time on training and equipment to accomplish this.
  3. Sometimes a bar girl can find a diamond in the rough. Never know one of these Indian guys might the CEO of a tech startup company in GOA?
  4. In LOS a bank transfer is sometimes required before any “action” actually begins. I have actually not confirmed this but some have told me this is common.
  5. A man and a woman go to a hotel that has hourly rates. Man pays and both enter the room. Both leave the room an hour later with smiles. This is not prostitution. Just two satisfied people and a happy hotel owner. Happy Songkran 2022.
  6. Does the Deputy Minister realize after obtaining a blood sample the BAC(Blood Alcohol Content) can only be determined after laboratory test? Oh, I forgot he will ensure mobile labs are at every checkpoint?
  7. OK. I have never been called a "Disingenuous Master Debaters". I have been called far worse.
  8. ??? Peter Ducey is not the governor of Florida. So a 5 year knows for certain he or she is gay or transgender?
  9. I never said he had a "consensus". He won and the election is in November. So the good people of Florida should vote him out of office then? Problem solved and the new governor then should repeal this awful law? An elected official doe not need a consensus. He or she just needs to win and can govern how they want to(or whatever their donors tell him or her to do). "American Politics", just follow the money.
  10. I never said anything about "hurting" him. So essentially DeSantis is anti-LGBTQ. OK. That's his positions and he is the governor. So in November the voters in Florida should vote Desantis out? "implications" on higher grades? Such as Junior High or High School? By that time kids do not need any kind of sex related education.
  11. How is this law anti-LGBTQ? So schools should teach Sex Education and Gender Identification starting in Kindergarten? I thought parents should decide that? Also, this law specifically says "Don't Say Gay"? I am no fan of Ron Desantis but he is the governor and as always "elections have consequences". Let's see what happens during the next Florida Governor Election in November 2022. We shall see if this hateful law that Desantis signed will cost him the election? I doubt it.
  12. American CDC Covid 19 Vaccine Cards do not have QR Codes. I did not have a problem getting a Thailand Pass in February.
  13. Similar situation on a recent Non Imm OA E-Visa application. I uploaded my passport data page to prove that i am entitled to apply for the Visa in the USA. This worked in my case.
  14. Hence the words "Could be". Misdemeanors generally require a citizens arrest for prosecution. Also, it is not "pressing charges". it is request to have the suspect prosecuted for violating sections 240 and 242 of the California Penal Code(Assault and Battery).
  15. Misdemeanor in California is maximum 1 year but likely no jail time no in most cases. Money compensation only if one is sued in Civil Court.
  16. SHA only means it was inspected to Covid standards. Most hotels display this sticker. Eliminate the word "Reasonable" when reviewing anything related to Covid and Thailand. How much does a RT-PCR cost in your county right now? The cost of an RT-PCR test in Thailand is slightly less than most western countries. Gather as much information as you can before coming to Thailand.
  17. Could you imagine? No way. The Academy has no ah "Balls". Will Smith will keep his Oscar and his friends will support him. Chris Rock gets assaulted and Denzel Washington and Tyler Perry check on Will Smith. Could anyone imagine the protests that would erupt if a mostly white and old Academy enforces it's own rule against a Black Best Actor winner when only 20 Black actors/actresses have ever won Oscors in it's long history. In the end Will Smith was defending the honor of his wife. That's the story he should stick too and offer Chris Smith a financial settlement to make it go away. How many on TV have actually seen King Richard? The only Academy nominated movie I saw was Dune.
  18. Never felt like a Duck with Agoda. All the relevant information is available to review before booking. The price difference between a one night regular stay and one night Test and Go stay is outrageous. I have seen some offers of 900 Baht for a regular stay go to over 5,000 with the Test and Go Package. The PCR test alone could be 3,000 Baht.
  19. I just found one for under 4000 in late April This includes the RT-PCR test, Airport Van and meals.

  20. Wow, he was not kidding. If Chris Smith was actually slapped or punched if could be an Assault and Battery under California Penal Code Sections 240 and 242. In the end he won Best Actor.
  21. A one night, RT-PCR test and Hotel pickup could not be 1,500 baht. Also, if you look carefully the hotels that offer the full Test and Go package can be in the range of 4,000 to 5,500 Baht. I do not like to give a hotel my banking information as well. Can you make another booking with Agoda for the full Test and Go package. I have used Agoda 3 times in the last 14 months when I entered Thailand and each package clearly listed the RT-PCR tests, hotel pickup and 3 meals.
  22. I say spend on what you can afford or want to. As an American a good burger is something I can't live without. There are some good burger places in Chiang Mai but it is hit and miss. I just thought others would appreciate another burger option that is within the high end of the price range. I have had some really awful burgers in Chiang Mai and on this particular day it was a pleasant surprise. Even at over $10. I was in Los Angeles last month and $10 barely covers lunch in most places.

  23. I try and buy from her at least once or twice a week. Pleasant lady and always a genuine warm smile. In the past the entire street had vendors and a good coffee shop. Many of the vendors are gone and the coffee shop closed a long time ago. I hope at least Miss Ya and her friends can stay around.
  24. I had one in CNX last year. 1. The Gastroenterologist who I have seen before did the procedure. 2. The consultation fee was included in the package 3. The medication(a PPI) the doctor recommended was included in the package. I did not require any further treatment. 4. I paid 39,000 Baht for a combo endoscopy/colonoscopy. I would shop around.
