I have no idea what happened here, and didn't follow the link, but don't British males kiss/peck female acquaintances and friends on the cheek for hello and goodbye? 

On reading the title of this topic, I hoped it would be “Not a Soi Dog... to be found anywhere”. Because they’ve all been eaten in these dire times. Sort of a cloud-with-a-silver-lining situation. Alas, nope.

Let 'em liquidate. The strong shall survive. I'm sick and tired of incompetent corporations and their officers getting rewarded for malfeasance. Most of the US majors have already screwed their investors and employees at least once. I refuse to get sloppy thirds. ????

I think you've lost it. This is an extreme situation that isn't caused by incompetence of the corporations. Most if it ordered by national governments and the people who would suffer the most if this event leads to a cold survival-of-the-fittest situation are the lowest wageworkers everywhere. Cabin crews and baggage handlers. You can take your brown-shirted 1930's attitude of "the strong shall survive" and...

F the airlines and their greed in paying for carry on bags and seat selection charges.

 

They've nickeled and dimed the customers for too long now unchecked.

 

 

Oh please, are you sad everything isn't included anymore? I'm sure I can set up a web site for you where "everything" seems to be included in the base price. The tickets won't be the cheapest though. 

One reason these fares are all bare-bone, no-frills, everything-has-to-be-added is because of price comparisons online.

Can we expect hashtags like #sideline to start trending a lot more on Twitter as the result of this?

No there isn't. It's more like Steve McQueen in the movie The Great Escape. The PM2.5 particle is the motorcycle, Steve is the covid19 and the barrier is the path into your lungs.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ccVu992CYE

It’s a powerful scene and all, but are you sure you want to make the virus the protagonist? ????

Apparently smoking increase the amount of ACE2 receptors in the lung. The virus use these receptors to attach itself. 

So there’s no West Side Story’esque gang fight going on in my lungs between the PMs and the CVs? It’s more like the PMs are the pathfinders for the landing of the CVs?

Bacterial and virus travel from one person to the other via moisture in the air. If there is no moisture in the air it is harder for it to transfer. That  is why when it is cold and raining people get  colds etc. I have trouble telling but where I am it seems to be hot  and not overly humid which hopefully will cut down on infections. Naturally air conditioning in public places creates lots of moisture in the air which would be a great environment for transfer.

I think you’ll find that air conditioning actually removes moisture. That’s sort of how it works. Or do you mean on the other side, i.e. the moisture is just pumped elsewhere?

While this virus continues to spread in Thailand, the very hazardous burning continues in the North.  I mention this in connection to the virus because the massive amount of smoke must be weakening the immune systems of people in these areas.  People with weak immune systems are more likely to die from the virus than are those people with strong immune systems. It would make sense for the government to stop the burning in coordination with minimising the spread of the virus.  But this will not happen because This Is Thailand.

I have this weird mental image, based on no amount of science at all, that the pm2.5 particles and the Coronavirus are competing for the same parts of my lungs. Enough of the pm2.5’s means there’s no place for the virus to attach itself. I don’t believe in it, but the image is still there. 

The disaster for these sports may be that, the public having experienced that life is just fine without some sporting events, they will never be funded again.

so are you confirming that in Agelwitch the <deleted> actually will do 'extra' services in the main arena?

 

have you partaken?

I am not confirming that and I would argue that it would have had to happen in a dark corner without the knowledge of the manager or the mamasans. So it would have been rather difficult to claim their help in getting paid for it. There was definitely something else going on here.

And I'm a little worried about what stupid word you used to get it replaced by "<deleted>".

Up until late November/early December last year I would have agreed with you. However, around that time I was sitting on the first tier seats talking with the Dancer I've known for some time together with some service staff and glanced over my left shoulder to the rear tier seats and there was an Asian gent with a head bobbing up and down at lap level just visible behind the separating panel. I guess business was slow or he tipped well. First time I've seen such within this bar.

 

As for police, they are around quickly when needed.

Sorry for the time it took me to respond, but I called it based on the likelihood of a scam of that nature at AngelWitch - I have no doubt that the appropriate amount of money and alcohol will get you a bj or hj from someone in any dark part of AngelWitch. And the head bobbing might be related to action on the outside of your pants/trousers... I still have some lipstick marks at zipper level that are really difficult to get out.

So, this article seems to say that instead of telling people to stay at their home for two weeks, the people arriving from the countries on the list may be put into guarded military bases. 

 

"

Dr Suwannachai said that healthy people returning from Covid-19 risk countries would be quarantined at specific and guarded facilities. Previous returnees were being monitored.

Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon said five military compounds were prepared to quarantine Thai workers who would return from South Korea.

Defence Ministry spokesman Lt Gen Kongcheep Tantrawanit declined to elaborate on their locations, citing security reasons."

I get up between 4 and 5 every morning. You clearly have no idea how expats in Pattaya live. You seem unable to distinguish between 2 week tourists and expats.

 

 

I love walking around in Pattaya (sober) at 4-5 am after a good night's sleep. There's something oddly uplifting about it all:) When it's time to go to my home country, I try to make sure I leave Pattaya early in the morning. Those early mornings really make me miss the place more in all its depravity...

Validation for my actions and decisions here on TVF where it's half full with keyboard warriors such as yourself, oh please, behave how you will with your kids as you do, but don't think our kids will be installing a dancefloor on my grave, you can't see what goes in my house and have no idea how we raise and praise our kinds, read a few lines and think you know everything.

 

My father was 10 times the man I am, belted the <deleted> out of me and taught me about respect, learning respect starts inside the house, earning respect from others outside of the house it is the next stage, i.e. if they aren't taught respect, how on earth would they know what it is, sort of learning how to walk before you can run, too bad your parents didn't teach you to hold your tongue before you think.

 

Let's all remember the "good old times" when grown men beat up on kids without repercussions...
The fact that your kids are questioning your rules around mobile phones is a sure sign that they are comparing your household to those of their peers. I don't think you will benefit from that comparison. 
You were obviously not taught respect since you don't seem to show any towards your kids. Heads-up: they're not really your kids. They might be your responsibility right now, but they're individuals in their own right. You don't own them. 
I'm sorry you see me as a keyboard warrior, but I get really triggered by people bragging about beating up on kids.

I like Pattaya as well.

It seems like "respectable people" don't like Pattaya and never go there.

Makes me think of Marlena Dietrich in the movie Shanghai Express :

"Don't you find respectable people terribly... dull?"

 

That's a solid reference ????
