I ran into a Thai lady I know in a bar in Pattaya. She had her 16 year old daughter with her to have some drinks. Apparently, she went to that particular bar because they let her daughter drink. Why take her daughter to a bar? To learn the ropes, so if she needed money down the road, she could work bar. Plus, she could support Mom in her old age.

I wish they would just stop talking publicly about this.

Japan is trying to counteract Chinese influence in Thailand. Sooner or later, there is going to be a confrontation.

Especially true if they have Farang husbands. Otherwise, they only stop when they cannot get their hands on a Thai man. Then, they go to temple.

I live in Thailand.

I am starting to walk the streets without a face mask.

I was in a taxi with a Thai lady yesterday. The lady is trying to start a relationship, wants to go to Chiang Mai with me. Anyway, the phone rang, and a Thai man asked her where she was. I asked if it was her husband, and she said it was her brother. Really.

What is amazing is that married Farangs who go to bars to play with bargirls have no clue why their Thai wives let them out of the house. Or guys from Isaan who come to Pattaya for a few days don’t know what the wifey is doing back in the village.

No problem. Just tell your Thai wife that your life insurance policy money will go to your Mia noi. Your wife in ensure that you live forever.

The other night, I was in a Thai bar. Sitting near me was a Thai lady who recently married an older German man, she initially moved to Germany, but came back to Thailand for visa purposes. She was very happy with her new husband, who was back in Germany waiting for her to come back. But, I suspect she was happier with her young Thai boyfriend sitting next to her in the bar.

There are areas in Pattaya doing well. Other areas are dead zones. It will take a long time for Pattaya to return to its former self. But, for most of us, current Pattaya is good enough.

They have one for sure, but that is not enough for a Soi 6 type bar.

The Russians indeed are slowly advancing in some areas, but at a very high cost.

The Cave on LK Metro is switching to a Soi 6 type short time bar. Presumably, there will be young ladies working there.

I only go with ladies who have Thai husbands.

I can’t remember who I went with last week.

I went to Darkside bars last night. Things were kind of slow.

I have been very careful in hitting the bars in Pattaya, plus I just got my sixth vaccination.

You are confusing deaths reported in overnight reports with deaths as determined by a medical examiner. If you assume that medical authorities are not stupid, and want to be able to use their statistics for scientific research, then you might be able to imagine how the process for determining Covid deaths actually works.

Actually, the UK has very stringent rules for determining primary cause of death on the death certificate. The rules for the overnight mortality reports are not so precise, but the numbers are corrected after death certificates are issued. Typically, mortality numbers are revised up from the overnight reports, due to deaths being reported for people who die at home from Covid (these deaths typically don’t make the overnight reports). So, the final numbers of people die from Covid are more accurate than you may realize.

Probably 10x higher, but the key metrics are hospitalizations, ICU and intubations.

And how did you set that up?

I am hearing stories of mass infections in the villages. At this rate, visitors from Bangkok are likely to spread Omicron back to Bangkok after Songkran.

What does increased domestic infections have to do with reducing restrictions on foreigners entering the country?

Your argument is that vaccines don’t protect against infection. The article states that they do, albeit for a short time. Do you agree with the article?
