I chat daily to a fellow radio 'ham' on the Pacific island of Samoa. No Wuhan flu cases there and no chance of that either 'cos the island is not 'open' to any visitors right now ...
I used to be there every 2 weeks (& every other island---high speed cargo ship, about 30 hours in each place) burn out sort of job...... get woken up middle of the night, ask where we are---Pago-Pago. oh its Thursday then.
But Samoa was nice.....Aggie Grays---Mount Vie night club.......this was in the 70s....maybe there gone also.
Yes....completely off topic................

New series : The Baker & The Beauty
Only seen the first Ep. What a great show! A light and funny rom-com fairy tale. ---Nemises
------------------------------------------------------------
Are you American Nemises? I ask because other than a few exceptions, I don't seem to find a lot of humour in American sit-com. Maybe you feel the same way about the British stuff. The American Crime/Drama & Doco's all fine--usually good stuff.
I was watching Kenny Everett shows last night---still funny (for me) over 20 years old.
No Football---no Boxing--so I am actually catching up on my back log at last..........

HRC endorsement- the kiss of death IMO, LOL.
Yes it was a close race......just a little short on choices
A senile old git who prefers truth over facts.
A socialist who owns three houses.
And a fake injun who speaks with forked tongue.
I guess they went with the senile old git...............who told us at the beginning that the last thing we have to worry about is the Chinese
Joe Biden: Don't Worry About China, They're Cool.....................
Democrat Joe Biden downplays China's threat to the U.S. economy, says while stuttering, "They're not ther-ther-ther competition for us"

rathoz31....what area are you looking at, or is it all optional?
About 2 years ago a close friend (farang) ended up with a nearly new hotel that he didn't want in Udon, 31 rooms 3 story walk up. He took one look at the amount of work / Staff involved and turned them into apartments (Just big rooms really) their nice with large balcony ----put water/electric meters on each room, electric doors on the front (key card access) coin washing machines etc..etc. He employs just 2 staff, one (part time) cleans all the public areas & does any maintenance--the other is the night Guard/Security . They both get a room each. He doesn't rent to young Thai males, the place is very nearly full 70% is 2 (or more) to a room females, 20% farangs or Thais with their lady. He tells me the rent on just 4 rooms pays for everything--all expenses ---electric in public areas is paid with the excess he gets from tenants.
Although he has halved all rents at the moment--and water is free, & He may have to put it down even further, if this drags on--but he will still be making money, unlike most of the hotels in this town.
Accommodation --"Rooms" isn't a bad investment in Thailand, There are a few people on here that have gone that route...But if you have your heart set on a Fawlty Towers set up......then best of luck in the future

However, our property is fully liquid, and we have no debt. So, we will survive. . . . . and crucially, our competitors won't. They can't service their debts and they will just evaporate due to this crisis. Ultimately, this crisis will put our business in a very strong position, the weaker players culled.
Their hotels wont go away will they NilSS, they may go broke and as you say a savvey investor will prob take them over, maybe make a better fist of it, so your competition will still be around.
And I hope you do well with yours......

It doesn't say anything about Border crossing............ so If Malaysia doesn't do the same......... Can fly into KL and train into BKK ?????
-------------------------------
This doesn't only affect Thai tourism, its difficult to get a direct flight to Lao/Cambodia/ Myanmar & Vietnam

If anyone is thinking fares may be cheaper when they restart .... have a look at the Air Asia site......already cutting into allowances ---
"Carry-on cabin baggage. To facilitate social distancing especially during embarkation and disembarkation, we will only allow ONE piece of cabin baggage not exceeding 5 kg for each guest (usually 7 or 10 kg, depending on the airline you fly). This will help minimise unwanted contact between you and another guests’ baggage.
I will be using the same carry on bag as always---so how making it 2 Kg lighter helps fight Covid---I am not quite sure, it will however make more people pay for under plane luggage space.

Rumours are rife that Kim Jong Un, the supreme leader of North Korea, has passed away.
.
Intelligence services understand that he died after injecting himself with disinfectant, allegedly “on the advice of a good friend”.

Rooster, I am surprised you chose the word SERIAL in this headline. He cannot come into that category because, as stated in the article, he had only, as far as we know, performed this act once before and that was a while ago.

Normal or not Thailand comes out out of this a clear winner.
No bailout of the poor, no currency devaluation.
CAD to THB 18
AUD to THB 14
USD to THB 40
very soon
If your selling AUD at 14 please consider me.....I will take all you have and even pay 16....... as the rate for AUD has now risen to just under 21......highest for a while.....I do agree Thailand has done well considering the amount of Chinese tourist they have had this year.

When I first went to Oz in the early 60s, & a lot of the POMs arriving were still on the 1 bath a week routine ---if you needed it or not.

When it comes to sports activities and exercise for the people it is likely that non contact sports where large groups do not gather to play could be allowed.

Has this appeared anywhere?
As the Cinema's are closed --it seems that a lot of movies will be delayed moving to DVD until they have made significant profit at Box office.

The radio played Captain Tom and Michael Ball performing You'll never walk alone and I imagine that people who have been stuck on their settees on lockdown, or even wheelchair bound, were inspired to get up and walk.
