I was in a bar last night and I was saying to my friend that all the fans in bars would add to spreading anything around in the air which one would think would increase the rate of infection, but Pattaya isnt even on the radar for this virus as far as I have seen (no STATISTICS from what I have seen). 

Currently, the evidence doesn't support aerosol transmission of the virus. 

So, posters on this thread have proven (with a total lack of data) that Thailand is now way too crowded with too many tourists clogging up the roads and beer gardens, as an oversupply of hotel development, and tons of Chinese and Indians ruin the country... and the country is simultaneously lying about how many tourists arrive, since all the hotels are empty, and Saigon is better and nobody wants to come to Thailand any more for a billion different nebulous reasons...

Very confusing.

One 'target' would be the sewage systems to stop direct discharge into seas on or close to popular beaches. Another target could be well organised garbage collection and disposal tied to cleaning out the stagnant and slow moving canals around Bangkok.

Add as you wish.

TAT isn't in charge of sewage. That's like asking the Department of Education to start handing out speeding tickets to motorists.

Hi all,

I'm spending Xmas and NY weeks in Bangkok this year, with a friend from Tokyo coming to stay. He's a fellow cyclist, and I'd love to be able to get him a decent road bike while he's here so that we can do some rides at the airport.

If anyone will be away and has a 54 or 56cm road bike they might be willing to rent, I'd be forever grateful.

US citizen got married to another US citizen back in the US this past Feb. We both have work permits and visas for our jobs here in BKK, where we live.

My wife wants to take my name, but has put it off due to travel plans, which have meant she couldn't be without her passport for the month it takes to change.

We now have the time, and the process of getting a new passport with a new name from the embassy seems pretty straightforward, but the processes of changing the names on her WP and visa/reentry seem intricate.

Anybody experience this? Apparently, the Thai government needs "certified" copies of passports and marriage certificate. Does this mean self-certified, US embassy certified or certified from the States? Last time we went to a U.S. embassy to have the certificate certified (in KL, before my wife got her job and was renewing her Type O), they seemed baffled and said they couldn't do that.

Any pitfalls for this process to be forewarned about?

Any advice would be great.

One little bump in case anybody in the weekday crowd is interested.

Hi all,

I thought it might be nice to head up to Chiang Mai for my week off of work, and wondered if anybody would be interested in spending their week in BKK.

Married couple from NYC... Our first Songkran in our new country.

Our place is a penthouse near Asoke with beautiful views. Pool in building.

Would love to stay in Nimmanhaemin or any other cool 'hood.

Message me if interested.

I am here working on a non B, and my wife is here on a 60-day tourist visa. Do we need to go out of the country to get her non O, or can we just take our marriage certificate down to the BOI?
