Another fearful harp player who plays the apocalypse. The virus is there, but far from the end of the world. Instead of destructive hysteria, it is better to think about solutions. 

And the hysterics are mostly those who don't suffer economically, like this doctor.

 

The solution of the Philippines for the revival of tourism, I find a good solution. Not unnecessarily long quarantine times.

 

And if the countries or the airlines could still agree on a quick test before departure, as is currently practiced in Austria, it would be even better.

 

The task is to find a good balance between security and economy.

I like your Philippines reference chart. I have been trying to fly to Manila internationally on Japan Airlines and Cathay Pacific airlines but the Philippines government is not allowing foreigners fly into Manila unless you are married to a Filipino. Thus your Philippines Airlines chart confuses me. Do you know any nonmarried expats that have been allowed to fly to Manila?  If yes please pm me as I need to get back to Manila ASAP. 
 

As for the old men who are for the lockdown, there are many people unemployed and hungry and cannot pay their bills. Personally I would unlock the world and let the virus take its course. Just like we allow people to drive and buy alcohol and smoke and make their own decisions about their health. The virus is not that deadly unless you are old and weak. The rest of us should be free to take the chance of the virus and go back to work.

The baht opened at 31.39 to the US dollar this morning (June 9), strengthening from its previous close of 31.40.

 

31.39 is stronger than 31.40?   really?  is this Math Thai style?

Quick on the gun to criticize Thailand ????. You are on the correct forum to criticize Thailand and Thai people even if you are wrong. ????????????????????

Silly <deleted>....he got a retirement extension then never bothered to renew it...no sympathy sorry

I missed the post where he or anyone else inquired about whether you were sympathetic. We all know you lack empathy so no need to waste our reading time in the future with your no sympathy posts. ????

Open everything. Give us the information and let those that want to work go to work and those that want to go the ability to go out. Those that want to stay home and wash their hands all day can do that. Lockdowns are more harmful than the virus to the mental, physical and financial health of real people. 
 

We drink alcohol, drive, smoke, eat too much, and have sex with many partners. You don’t have to but you can. Stop the hypocrisy of wanting to save life’s and stop the lockdown which is killing people.

I'm actually quite grateful to an older woman ( mid-thirties ) who had a fling with me when I was in my early twenties, she taught me a lot about pleasing a woman sexually.

I agree for us older guys it's about money, which is why Thailand is such a great place. Having said that, I enjoy giving women as much pleasure as they give me. It doesn't happen every time, doesn't have to.

Don't need to get a grip, my GF usually does that for me. 24 years younger than me.

I feel lucky to be taught sex by some great go go women in Nana plaza. That is why I never complain about Thai women. Worth all the money I paid and the little bit I was ripped off. ????

Have you been to a Go Go lately? 2,000, will get you a couple of beers and a packet of nuts. 

I thought the only place you could buy a packet of nuts was a ladyboy bar ????

IF I was married to a Thai pre covid she would need to obtain a visa to come to AU.

I have a UK mate and every time his Thai wife travels to UK she obtains a visa.

Many countries are currently not issuing visas and have stopped visa exempt entries. 

You are misinformed and confused.

If anything should be learned by the Corona pandemic it's to stop eating garbage i.e. raw flesh and rotten  animal-based "sauce". Stick with hot cooked food, canned food, frozen packed food, fresh hygienically washed produce. Not implying what specifically caused Coronavirus, but at least stop ingesting raw rotten garbage and calling it "food". People in modern countries go to charming novelty Thai restaurants and think they are eating "real" Thai food but don't know the truth. What many baan-nok chao-ban folks eat here barely qualifies as "food". Pla-ra is just another extreme example of what some people are willing to put in their mouth. 

Do you know all the chemicals and byproducts they put in commercially canned food that is grown on corporate owned farms sprayed with chemicals to maximize production per acre?  Commercial can food is not a good example of healthy food IMO.  
 

Thank God for 20 year old Asian bar women and caddies. ????

Personally I am happy the AirBnB owners will be hurting. IMO they were ignoring the hotel laws by renting condos by the night or week in buildings built for long term tenants and live in owners only.
 

Maybe one good thing to come out of the virus will be the decline or elimination of AirBnB in many cities.  

If you want to stay in a place for a short term like a month or week or two weeks, get a hotel. If you have condos and want to rent them by the night on AirBnB then karma is a bit$$ and you took a chance, ignored the hotel laws,  took a bad risk, and lost. 
 

Lots of condos will be for sale and get cheaper and cheaper in 2021 especially by those owners of multiple units with bank loans. Hotel rooms will be cheaper also due to a lack of demand and fewer airplane seats in the air in 2020 and 2021 compared to 2019.

Plenty of quality to being made these days, but going to have a hard time finding anything that lives up to GoT and Breaking Bad.   "Better Call Saul" is the prequel to Breaking Bad with the same writers and many of the same characters.   Can't really go wrong.

Don’t disagree. I just watched Homeland and the final episode is on tonight in USA. It was really good also. It was recommended and I hope there are more great shows and some movies out there. Watching Movies John Wick 1.2,3 and awesome also. ????

Hello 

I have not watched TV a lot in the last few years so I am out of the loop of good shows and movies for the last 5 years. Recently I watched all of Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad and Homeland. Loved them all. 
 

What shows and movies did you like and recommend to watch and what are they available on .i.e HBO, Showtime, Netflix ....

many thanks ???? 

Sounds like a thought out response for a new type of problem- social distancing.
 

Or we could just lock down the whole world and go bankrupt.
