I found much interference in most of the 4 different condos we stayed at during Jan.  Remote didnt work.  My plan was to use it at MK.  They make many versions.  Some even have wifi so can be controlled via phone from a different country!  I suggest the butterfly  but also the internal probe with g spot.  800 baht x2 well spent!

However I do wonder if proliferation of toys  has contributed to the current condition of Western women.  Maybe Thailand govt has it right not allowing a replacement for a man. 

Dam.  I live  in a dead end neighborhood, so not likely to improve on my 89/7 speeds.  Yes they seem slow.   It's much easier cheaper to set up good internet in a country that has a high density of people.  Utah population 2 million.  

So many thai women with debt.  At least this debt when paid off she will own something.   Many  Thais with debt and nothing to show.  You need to really dig deep with this woman.  Any other debt?  They feel it's not required to be honest with a bf because she feels this debt is hers,  how can this effect a man?  They dont understand financial planning  or that all of couples finances should be thought of in planning.  I decided it was best to ask debt questions early on and find a debt free GF. 

Like always I tell you when I did not read each page of this threat before posting. I don't know if I would be bragging about the numbers but they do look quite unusual and good.  I'm not so sure you can say it's because of the Good Health Care system I think there is some other reason that we have not understood yet. I read someone said maybe som Tom is good preventive medicine.    I hope the case of stay low but I cannot understand this unusual deviation from every other country, especially given how many Chinese Travelers were there January and February

Holiday death back up!  I understand 

14 days would have been proper.   Bail systems favor the rich.

The knackering aspect is NOT that there were 30-40 NEW cases a day (actually there were 96 NEW cases yesterday).

 

The knackering aspect is that there are approx 1100 cases being treated right now with a good percentage of them being on respiratory support (CPAP, Ventilator etc).

 

Working in ICUs means gowning up with whatever PPE is available. Try doing that for 12 hours a day. I would suspect that even if you are fit, you would not last more than an hour. Remember, all staff are involved in lifting patients so that they are rotated, constant clearing of airways, monitoring meds, detailed recording of vital and other signs.

 

Remember that you are not supposed to max the aircon in such locations as that will affect the inflamed lungs of covid-19 patients. So you are going to sweat in whatever PPE you have to wear.

 

Remember that there will be a percentage of your colleagues having to isolate due to symptoms, positive tests etc.

 

And while you are at it, there are a bunch of medics looking after all those ICU patients who are not Covid-19.

 

We are talking about thousands of patients who will stay in hospital for weeks with a high percentage spending a long time in ICU.

 

I hope you understand now.

96 cases yesterday.   I thought it was  under  50 last 3 days?  

I still dont understand why the PUI number stays  so high?  How long do the test results take?  Or are these just # under quarantine and they  dont want to or not enough supplies to test them? 

I'm sure  12 hours on your feet in a trash bag, face mask,  and face mask would be a lot harder than bar stool quarterback. 

Dam good price.    Could a partner  stay with you? If for the entire  time? this may be the new normal  for all of 2020

Yiu guys complaining about the article have terrible comprehension.   It suggests those temperatures for washing clothes.   

But on that subject  I. ISA they suggest setting water heaters  to 120f 49c.  

If it takes such hot water to clean clothes how is hand washing working?

I would think the soap amd  normal warm water in as washing machine  would work.  O just dont trust most official  words

   Wear masks, dont wear  masks(because us rich want to hoard them) now wear homemade cloth masks.  Yes trump  is an idiot and is a major reason the USA is #1.  He has blood on his hands.  

American is a language?  Your daughters grammar sucks. She needs to fix this.   But thank goodness if she has an American accent she has a good chance in life.  I make sure my thai gf never practices  English with a teacher with an Old world accent.  Same with East Indian.  Luckily your spawn doesn't have much chance of living here.  

I admit a month ago it looked best to return home if you had any decent life there at all.  I also think  koh chang looks like a good idea for a month.  Staying at some of those resorts ,  in your own  bungalow, it would be easy to have big social  distance except at meal time.    Now if you do get sick I imagine their are not many vents on the island but do you farang think you will get a vent in XYZ city  if the crunch comes?  Haha

I wish I had spent time in TH in the 90's.   As a man who has lived 80%of his life in the West near  wilderness and unspoiled places and a lover and diver of the ocean, wooden huts on the beach sounds great.  I also still have this island lifestyle fantasy.   Probably since  Gilligan's island.   Who was that little dark hair sensible one?  That was my choice.  

I like to imagine life 200 years as go when I travel.  Life must have been hard in Thailand but I have met s few gals  who I can imagine to be hard working partners.   Of course the heat and mosquitoes soon come to mind. 

I dont understand why I seem to have dyslexia when it comes  to Visa's? 

I guess I've never been an alien before or abducted.  Have you always needed a marriage to be officially filed in the expats home country for a marriage visa? If so why? I thought many just do the filing in Thailand.   

How many pages does this end up being? Where do they store all this  paper?  Surely some government top dogs must own a paper plant.  What  pages from the passport are needed?

Does it say  blue ink on the form or somewhere in the instructions?

Why as an American does all this pettiness bother me so much?

From what I've seen since this pandemic was reported Thailand has been quite efficient in trying their best to stop the spread of this covid-19 virus. Locally the malls, supermarkets, pharmacies & banks have all segregated customers as much as is possible. I must say their approach to everyone has been really commendable, very polite without any fuss. Scanners, hand wash solutions etc have all been made available, plus temperature scanners on all entrances have been placed to minimize the inconvenience of everyone. Face masks have been worn by nearly every Thai national, it seems only the "farang" that exercises his right by not wearing one & this is wrong. What really is important & does matter is doing everything possible to keep people safe irrespective on your views. I think the "farangs" here are letting themselves down badly by not showing compassion or concern to their fellow beings. You are not experts in this field & god knows neither are the top medics trying desperately to reduce the spread to save lives. "Farangs" please step back, think about the consequences of a full blown disaster here, do your bit, listen to all the measures that are being recommended to keep all of us safe & stop being pigheaded & stupid ............... comply with the authorities irrespective how restrictive life becomes. It not just you .............. we are all in this together.

 

As an expat living here 20yrs I'm disgusted with fellow members on this forum that seem to just revel in being ignorant, take great delight in mocking people, being sarcastic, selfish individuals who have no thought for anyone but themselves ....... fact

The actions by thai government were 45-60 days to let.  Let the blame and deserved bashing continue.  The greed was on full display for all to see.  It will be interesting when you 20 year  residents get the boot. 

Could this ban relate directly to sex workers going to hotel rooms?

I admit I read page one only.   Not my norm but 21 pages.  This ban from 10-4 indicates to me that a certain segment used to staying up till 4 am just didnt adhere to social distancing rules.  Were they going to private  parties,  closed  bar parties?  Loitering in front of 7-11.  Os this related to closing 7-11 at night.    Just think how many thousands of unemployed nightlife extroverts can't handle this isolation

I seem to recall a news story of sailors on liberty in Saigon.   I thought there are strict orders no sex while on leave.  The article said some sort of hat was the hot souvenir.

So iearrings? (8 times less interest?) to have many 4900 baht gold earings?like many things in Thailand this makes no sense.  So the government owns pawn shops.  How convenient 

More like -40% dumb f*c@$

It is so contagious.   China knew.  

I would think all hospitals  by now have a prescreening area to triage and send any suspect cases to the protected staff.  We need a low cost 15 minute test badly.  Speaking of tests and vaccines.   What % will refuse  vacation?  

If they can be released why a further week in a separate room and eating separate meals?  So there is no way to verify they ate not contagious?  So much unknown still at this point.  It's not like the hospital was overrun with covid19 patients?  But I imagine it is a strain and big expense on the hospital.   All HCW would have to wear protective gear at all times I imagine.    

What iui s the medical protocol for discharge.    

I've had funny cough last week but feel ok.  Do you think I can be tested here in USA.  Haha

All USA hospitals check in is a paymemt/ insurance process unless you arrive critical via ambulance.   

The debt per American was 60,000 usd but now is going much higher.  

I think star trek type virus scanners are in our future for all food,  people,  and shipments. There will be special  communities set up with closure around them.  The rich  and poor will see the true disparity.  Temp checks are so crude and 90% meaningless and in the future will look their true foolishness.  

Masks will be proven to be effective  and we will see the recommendations for no mask unless HCW was just due to massive unpreparedness by all.  

Racial tensions have  been revealed since 2016 and  even more so now. 

China will be revealed as very racist with their goal to take over the World.  Chiland will sink deeper in Chiang's grip. Will anyone care?  Look how the major news stories that only make the obscure news or make one quick 15 second soundbite and 3 hours later are forgotten.  USA has suspended  Government oversight on almost all if not all industry  so the environment is going to suffer massively.   

I will have to think longer on how life will change for the nightly rental folks but I think I rather have 1 good virus free specimen  by my side.  Any good reviews on best sex dolls?  That's a good investment  tip.  Any other advice and you will have to pay.
