I have come to hate all these new phrases being thrown around these past new months. Sandbox, Sky Blue Zones, the new normal, etc. 

How about shelter-in-place, 2 weeks to flatten the curve, partial lockdown, green,yellow,orange,red, deep red zone......double masking, Dr Fachi said bla bla bla...

Since when has wearing a face mask been optional? You can't enter any establishment without one or shop without one and you're subject to a big fine if caught at anytime without one. It has been this way for 16 months already.

 

Please stop stalking and trolling. You've had your say.

Sir wearing a face mask under the chin is very popular way to wear a face mask for loads of Pattaya residence ...

NEVER  a word from the WHO about MSG , which is 100 times worse for people than salt will ever be.......Look at the price of MSG  some time, they make sure MSG is CHEAP dirt cheap........Its cheap for a reason......

You might end up paying ZERO customs or tax you also might end up paying 30-40% customs and tax......You just never know.....Better to buy a PC here.....

The Chunky Monkey replacement is another sports bar, signs up

Yea right near Wetherspoons..........I think sports bars are a little to much high culture for Soi Buakow guys...

Sir here is your solution......And I doubt it will even cost 100 baht....

I don't know when Pattaya will return to its form "glory", but I do know that you will be wearing Tsingtao singlets with dim sum stains, instead of the usual HP sauce down the front...

 

...and start brushing up on your Chinese language skills and learning how to deal cards and count to 21 if you want a job.

Actually I think Hindi is the language to brush up on........Someone has not been keeping all these all these (way more than is needed) Indian restaurants afloat for many years now for no reason.......Heck even the closed ones are not really closed,they are only hibernating now..........

All these Indian Restaurants will be feeding the stampede of Indians who will be arriving here one day....

I think if the bodies were piling up at the temples we would know about it, I do believe there is more Covid in Thailand than the published figures due to lack of testing and people who have symptoms not being tested as they will end up in hospital or even worse in a warehouse.

Here are some numbers for you....

I make 100,000 baht a day picking up plastic bottles from the street and it only takes 10 minutes.... I can make 1,000,000 baht a week if I work 15 minutes a day...

Point being..... Its very very very easy to publish bogus numbers....

Like you said people should trust their eyes over numbers.....I have not seen any bodys or any sick people at all myself, and I am out and about a lot...

The Whole World banned foreign travel or highly restricted foreign travel , this is to stop the virus from spreading, rather than any Countries dislike of foreigners .

   Thai officials do not dislike foreigners , they dislike Covid

Boy the virus is really coming in handy then..........Because severely reducing world travel was one of the planned goals of Agenda 21...........And the stack-em and pack-em housing was already well underway with all the new shoebox condos....

Haven,t been to Soi Buchow then.?

The Soi Bukow Amazon was open till a few days ago.....It's only a temporary closure....I was going there pretty often....

Things won't reopen in any real degree until most people have been vaccinated, which will be at least early 2022. So get ready for a quiet 6 months.

Great, the homeless population should be about half of Pattaya by then,and the rest should be just about bankrupt.....

like where? Places like McDonald's, Burger King, Starbucks, Pizza Hut have closed, they are all over priced and paying the consequences

Agree except for Burger King......They run specials very often ( like all the time)....Whoppers for 99 baht is not a bad deal at all.....

Starbucks coffee is WAY overpriced so no surprise there......I have not seen any Amazon coffee close.....Not one.....

Restaurant I use claimed they were reopening the beginning of August as they closed last week..... heaven knows what gave them that idea. 

Well the original lockdown was going to be for only 2 weeks to flatten the curve....And here we are 18 months later.....

Once again we have been forced to delay after the Marine Department expressed concerns over safety and the continuing Covid-19 situation. I can't really write my true feelings but its seems we're jinxed or disliked, not sure which. We're trying to address all issues, but ultimately it looks like 'plan B' -  to head out to the outer anchorage and layup for a few months..  We will let you know..

Safety my azz......From what I have seen your boat is a huge ocean vessel.....I would not have the slightest concerns over safety..... I would find out who it was that got the Hua Hin ferry route route approved  (in record time) and hire them to work on your approval......
