What age does this officially start? 

water bottles with vodka work very well during these times ????. 

If you ride a bike, you will get hurt =

if you learn to walk, you will fall down and get hurt

if you love, you will get hurt.

If you talk to others, you will get sick.


Best to quarantine yourself, stay in bed, stay away from people and live in a sanitized protected bubble,... 

Damn thing is...you'll still die one day.

Truth is, you don't have a clue how your end will happen.  So go LIVE instead of worrying about "IF" x y or z will kill you..

How much should one expect to pay for a maid per day?  or a cook?

Dentists have been open for weeks.  My girl had her wisdom teeth pulled about 3 weeks ago.

Parlours here are mind readers.  They all already opened and serving ha

The UK has outlawed sex.

Thailand is a wonderland of freedoms still.  Rejoice!

May be the company will also get a Work Permit. I don't know I just mentioned that there are ads and he can follow through if he wants. 
I am living part year in Thailand for more than 15 years, now of course trapped due to the virus. My agents do everything. Visas, driver's license, buying and selling cars,  90-day reports, TM-30, etc.,buying/selling condos every thing. I concentrate  on making money and share a miniscule portions with agents.

How much does this service cost @Mulambana?

I don't know what's actually going on in Russia, but I read your article and that is not a news piece.  That is self-written propaganda piece by her PR people. 

gyms were ok'd to open May 17th...yet I can't find even one open in Pattaya.  Even condo gyms.

Does anyone know of a gym or condo gym that has now opened?

Good educational material on this subject...including ATMS, Bank withdraw, Wire Transfers, and more options:

Best recommended method is a wire transfer if you have any sort of Thai bank account you could send to.

You are of course going to find better deals in vacation areas than in say Bangkok, where most people didn't flock away from.

I chose the VT6 18th floor Seaview 1 bed 92 sqm condo that was just remodeled. (really cheat on the sqm counting the balcony).

was really hard choice between it and a 150 sqm seaview place in Jomtien that had the entire wall as openable door/windows looking at the view.

That and the fact the living areaspace was probably bigger than than the whole VT6 condo.   AND it was 2/3 the cost.  Although, the apt was getting dated in age and wear.

At the end of the day though, we chose the convenience of being in central and now at least having the options of sitting down in restaurants again.  Over there, would have only had a choice of like 3-4 restaurants to walk to.

And yeah...negotiated almost all properties to over 50% off... Everytime we said "maybe" they would throw a lower offer out lol.  Good time to be a renter.

Dream on; how old are you, anyway? Typically a young man's dream arising from a young man's insecurities. 

 

You should be so lucky as to look as good any fit swimmer or gymnast. 

 

I don't know how to respond to a comment that has so much vitriol in it.

Much harder to enjoy maintaining this with bodyweight.  well, ok.  don't have these abs LOL

Order yourself a suspension trainer:

and some resistance bands:

https://www.lazada.co.th/catalog/?from=input&q=resistance bands&location=local

 

and in just a few days you'll have all you can handle. If not familiar with how effective these can be, check out the vids on youtube: I think you'll be surprised.

 

A door pullup bar might be nice, but on Lazada and Shopee the better ones come from China. A cardio machine would of course be major but maybe you have a space where you can walk or jog. Otherwise, if you exercise slowly and intensely w/ the above, breathing continuously during each rep, the cardio effect will be significant.

 

I ordered resistance bands and a door chin up bar.  The bar is great.



The bands were absolute garbage.  Not saying bands are garbage...just that these ones were. only thing useful from it was the handles that came with them.
Going to order another set and pray they aren't the same brand.

unless, you have that suspension trainer?  any real feedback on it if so?

desperate times, desperate measures...

I'm going to check this out immediately.  VT6 guy wanted 3500 night non coronatimes for stays over 15 days.  asking us for 2000/night so 60k during these Virus times.  I'm having a hard time stomaching that even though it was 92 sqm and beautiful and new.

I think 45k is my MAX for a special place.  Wishing I would have grabbed that 11,000 1bd grand avenue place now.  I could have rented a s3cond studio on the beach for my office.  GF said no though.  I wonder why? LOL

@newnative Do you think places on hipflat will rent for 1-2 month times?  they all say one year

They're taking a helluva risk right now, I'm MORE than happy to pay. Again, most of them don't carry my brand so I'm screwed.

amazing how your tastes can change to get to the desired endpoint though lol
