My cousin just got back into Thailand. He was allowed to land in Bangkok and travel to Pattaya to a quarantine hotel there. Since he lives in Pattaya, it is convenient as his wife will be able to talk with him and see him in the window of his hotel, for his 14 day quarantine. He is happy that he did not have to go via Phuket to Thailand. I am glad that I am not so desperate to return to Thailand that I have to go to some quarantine hotel anywhere in the country. Just get your selves vaccinated, and when your numbers are up to 75 percent, I will take my chances on the country. Geezer

I wonder if poor Joe will be given nice sheets in his jail cell? I also wonder if the PM and government will be saying anything, about this case, and what they plan to do to improve the RTP in Thailand? Geezer

Blame it on Delta. Not only very contagious, but still deadly, after all it is from India, and look at how many people died in that country. Geezer

Well I do believe that power corrupts, and I wonder who has the absolute power in Thailand? Certainly not this Police guy. Just wondering. Glad that Mr. Chuvit has expressed his opinion. Geezer

Every country needs to treat the COVID pandemic seriously. The cases in Thailand are pretty high, but the USA is getting new spikes in many states from the delta variant. There are still lots of people dying all over the world from this virus. Unfortunately in a lot of places in the world there are people who do not believe that they need to get a vaccination. I guess another million people need to die, because so many still think that COVID is just another flu. I lost another relative recently and they were in their 40s. They were non believers of the vaccine, and now they are dead. Ease the restrictions wisely, and try to remember that as a tourist destination, the more rules and restrictions that tourists have placed on them, the less chance that they will be coming to Thailand, when there are many places that they can travel without all the hoops to jump through. The high season for tourists is less than 100 days away. Just saying. Geezer

If these cops get away with this murder, then for sure there is no justice in Thailand. My Kingdom for a horse, My Kingdom for a horse. I guess he would not be saying this famous phrase, too late by several years. The Thai PM needs to seriously get involved with finding out how this Joe Ferrari was able to have such a lovely house and so many cars under his police salary. At the least, this corrupt guy should have to fully explain how he has become so equipped with his expensive toys. Just my thoughts. Geezer

So considering the back ground of the Mayor of Pattaya, is anyone surprised of why there have been no permits etc, on many developments in Pattaya or area? I could be wrong, but back ground checks may uncover some of the reasons. Geezer

Yes getting 1 shot of COVID vaccine does not make you totally vaccinated, however its seems to be the case with officials or TAT or the Thai government, who all desperately want to see tourists come back to Thailand. Maybe by this time in 2022, the Government, TAT and other officials will be closer to the truth, if they spout off, their words. I do enjoy a short visit to Cha AM from Hua Hin, but I will not be doing that this coming Winter. Hopefully I can do that next Winter. Geezer

Great idea, and a few chairs in the shade of the bus would be good for people who do not want to sit in the grass or somewhere else. Geezer

Bye Bye Henry, I hope you like Nigeria, after you do your jail time, and then get deported as you should have already been. Geezer

I sure hope that by December, there will be a lot more people vaccinated, and the numbers of new infections go down a bit, as well as the hospital deaths. I am still dreaming of coming to Thailand in the new year if there are less restrictions, and requirement involved, otherwise it will be the Winter of 2022 - 2023 that I will maybe show up again. Geezer

So will he be revealed to these 3 women? Wonder what his day will be like when that happens? Geezer

When I read the Cipher post that COVID is not that dangerous. What are you on about, do you want COVID to be as deadly as Ebola? Without the vaccines, and measures that the world took with mask wearing and staying apart in areas where we all could, COVID would likely be even deadlier than the Spanish flu was. There are still people who are dying each day from COVID and yet some posters here think that it is not deadly enough, Amazing.. I just hope that by the end of this year, the amount of people in Thailand who have had their 2 shots are at least over 50 percent. Until all the children can also be vaccinated, or nasal sprayed, etc. against the COVID virus we will not be over this pandemic. Do not forget that some countries like Africa, and the countries that have internal wars going on, do not have many of their population vaccinated. How about the refugee camps in many countries, how many of those people have been vaccinated? Of course there will be people who are willing to take a chance to travel somewhere, as some people still think that they are bullet proof against COVID because of their age. My 40 year old, ex relative who was an anti vaxxer thought like that, but now he does not need a vaccine as he is dead and has been cremated as well. The pandemic continues, and I just hope that everyone gets the vaccine. Geezer

Yup, I expect the island to be shut until High Season, at the very least. How good are the chances of that? Geezer
