The yellow suits are just flight suits, not spacesuits. They can be made overnight.

Your logic is flawed. Eliminating the pre-departure Covid test will result in more people coming to Thailand.

Arrival on or after April 1 does not require a test, or departure to Thailand on or after April 1 does not require a test?

I did see a video where there was combat behind enemy lines, and a couple of armored vehicles were destroyed. But I was talking more along the lines of the French Resistance.

Zero about Russians in occupied areas being killed by insurgents.

According to the news story.

Most people here seem to think that the shooter was an ex-husband. He was not. Leaving a Thai lady alone for 50 weeks is an invitation to find a Thai boyfriend

Everything is posted on social media now. If Russian soldiers were being killed behind the lines, we would know about it.

Lots of articles on preparation of Molotov cocktails, very little about actual use in the field.

Those people who choose not to vaccinate increase the odds of a new variant emerging in the future.

Your post is not consistent with reality. Yes, most people have mild symptoms with the current variant. But, the unvaccinated are filling up hospitals. And, a new variant may emerge that is more lethal.

What is most common is a bargirl having a private FB for friends and family, and a public FB for customers. Sometimes, I get the private FB, but then it doesn’t say where the lady works, so it’s kind of useless. Plus, it’s filled with photos of kids and cats and food.

the only problem is that my Thai lady companion sometimes gets into a fight with her husband and is out of order for a day.

I am just pointing out the differences in culture, not criticizing them.

Farangs tend to think the standard process for a Thai lady to enter the bar scene is for her husband to dump her after she spits out a few kids. The lady is alone, not enough money to support herself, so she leaves the kids with her mother to go work bar. And that happens a lot. The flip side is when a lady has been married for a while, and gets tired of it. She is not so excited about the husband, she would like more money, and a more exciting life. The bar scene provides all that. The problem is, unless she already lives near Pattaya, she is going to have to leave the husband. Some ladies have delusions of making a big score quickly and then running back to the husband. Some give up and go home after a few weeks, no idea what they tell the husband. Others make marginal cash, but love the bar lifestyle. And there are those angling for a Farang husband to set themselves up for life. And then there are the rare few who never cut the cord with the husband. Some ladies send money to their husband back in Isaan. There are some husbands who move to Pattaya (or wherever the bar is) and take care of the kids while the wife works bar. There are even husbands who wait for the wife after she marries a Farang. Another variant is the bargirl who makes enough cash to afford a money boy in Pattaya. Money boys don’t mind at all if their honey goes with a customer, as long as the money keeps flowing. For ladies still attached to their husbands, it’s often a big secret that they keep from their Farang customers, especially if they are older. The younger ladies don’t worry about a long term relationship with a Farang (yet), so they don’t mind if their Thai boyfriend is known. my philosophy is that I don’t care about the personal lives of the ladies, as long as it doesn’t impact their performance. Your opinion may differ.

Except in Thailand, of course. Many here ignore the threat of new variants because of a religious belief that all future variants of Covid will be mild. But, as long as a large segment of people remain unvaccinated, there exists the potential threat of a lethal new variant. Some of the deadenders here would react to a new variant that kills more people with the usual “they died with Covid, not from Covid”, ignoring the reality that without Covid, those people would still be alive.

Except in Hong Kong

New variants can be scary.

It’s just a cold.

I believe that SHA+ certificates are only granted in Chonburi city.

Basic common sense applies here. When Thailand is going through the peak of a wave, it’s best to avoid it. When the wave starts to decline a bit, that’s the time to plan for a trip.

Are you talking about the ocean?

It sounds like Pattaya is more or less the same as pre-Covid during March, not as crowded as high season, but not as dead as low season. The difference being that not so many bars are open, as before Covid. For me, with so much Omicron in Thailand as well as some bars requiring ATK tests, I will stay away a bit longer. I fled Thailand the first week of January, when Omicron hit Pattaya with a vengeance, but now Omicron is hitting everywhere in Thailand.

It's a war. You have been reading too much Russian propaganda.

Wrong all the way. Delta was more lethal than earlier variants. Vaccination helps stop infection.
