  1. U-Tapao serves 4 flights a day. Plenty of excess capacity right now.
  2. I shouldn't complain about the Russians, after all, I first found out about Pattaya while living in Russia. There were 3 places that Rusdians flocked to: Pattaya, Antalya, and Sharm El-Sheik. So, I just followed them. Aeroflot had a great flight from Moscow to Bangkok, leave at 10 pm, arrive in the morning. The problem was the flight back, which was in day time, on an IL-96 over the Himalayas, problematic for that plane. As I have stated before, I expect many Russians to stay in Thailand for the duration of the war. When the money and visas run out, then you will hear about problems with Russians.
  3. My answer: If the Farang is a sponsor, ie not a boyfriend, not in Pattaya, and just sending money, the lady is fair game. If the Farang is a boyfriend, ie the lady is considering marriage or planning to live abroad with the Farang, she is off limits. Despite her obvious intent to have some gratuitous fun. I live in Pattaya, so I have to live with the consequences of my choices. I often run into boyfriends of ladies I know, and I prefer to have a clear conscience.
  4. Every Spanish speaking country has their own flavor of Spanish, so, yes, I speak Mexican Spanish. There is enough variation in Spanish that I have trouble understanding in other countries.
  5. When there was a surge a few months ago, Bolt raised prices. Now, prices are the same, there just aren't any taxis available.
  6. Bolt has practically collapsed in Pattaya, no idea why. It is usual for Bolt taxis to all be busy, sometimes even in the afternoon.
  7. Concerning the allegation that Big Pharma opposes Ivermectin use for Covid because reasons, it is not unusual for clinical trials to demonstrate secondary uses for existing medications. One significant example is aspirin, which is widely prescribed for heart patients, after clinical trials demonstrated efficacy. Yet the Ivermectin supporters claim this never happens.
  8. You're assuming I am not a strange bad man.
  9. You are wasting your time focusing on one clinical trial, when there are dozens that show Ivermectin is not effective against Covid. Since you are wasting our time criticizing one clinical trial, how about this: https://www.bmj.com/content/377/bmj.o917 "An analysis of 26 major trials of ivermectin for covid-19 found that over one third had “serious errors or signs of potential fraud.”7". https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/jul/16/huge-study-supporting-ivermectin-as-covid-treatment-withdrawn-over-ethical-concerns https://academic.oup.com/ofid/article/9/2/ofab645/6509922 Ivermectin for COVID-19: Addressing Potential Bias and Medical Fraud
  10. Ease of living here, everything is convenient. I should live in Mexico, as I am fluent in the language. But life is more difficult, and the crime rate is through the roof.
  11. Easy to find Thai girlfriend. But then you have to deal with her Thai husband. Sometimes they can be useful when lady is too mao, they can take her home.
  12. a bigger moral issue: A Thai lady has a Farang "boyfriend" sending money while she continues to live in Pattaya. She comes to your place to drink, and during the course of the evening, goes to take a shower. She comes back to drink more, wrapped in a towel, which she soon removes. The question is what to do? I have my answer, what is yours?
  13. and yet, science is advanced by researchers questioning established knowledge. Funny how that works.
  14. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2022/10/02/national/science-health/kowa-ivermectin-covid-19/ Kowa says Ivermectin not effective against Covid https://pj.jiho.jp/article/247544 Ivermectin Fails in Investigator-Led COVID Trial Too https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2022/01/26/fact-check-no-ivermectin-didnt-cure-covid-19-in-japan-and-india.html Fact check: No, ivermectin didn’t cure COVID-19 in Japan and India
  15. For someone making strong claims, you don't show any evidence. You claim there is a lack of information about Ivermectin, but you ignore something called "Google". Let me suggest that the reason you can't find much positive info about Ivermectin and Covid is because Ivermectin is useless against Covid. As far as focusing on one planned study about Ivermectin, the Google will show dozens of high quality studies showing Ivermectin doesn't work: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2115869 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2789362 https://www.kumc.edu/about/news/news-archive/jama-ivermectin-study.html Yeah, all of these organizations are in on a grand conspiracy to denigrate Ivermectin, because reasons.
  16. I posted about the 300 baht scam on my Thai Facebook, and I got a lot of positive comments from bargirls who have been victimized by 300 baht requests.
  17. The larger the sample size, the more likely a clinical trial will show no benefit for Covid protection from Ivermectin. The more random the study, the more likely that a study will show no benefit from Ivermectin. Even the hard core Ivermectin supporters should admit they rely on clinically proven medical procedures and medications for other medical situation.
  18. About every 10 years, I get sick as a dog after a flu shot. For a month. I am okay after getting the Covid vaccine.
  19. Both references were about the initial Covid strain, and the first vaccines. But, you knew that already.
  20. some actual information: around the eastern border of Ukraine, there is a fairly large area that is culturally Ukrainian and Russian. The farther east, the more Russian, but even in Voronezh, there is Ukrainian cultural influence. And there is Russian influence in Ukraine at least as far west as the Dnipro river. its a continuum. That will probably end within a generation. There was a good argument to be made about Crimea back in the day, but Russia forfeited its position when it invaded in 2014.
  21. You ignore motivation. Afghans and Vietnamese were motivated to fight for their country. Iraqis were not motivated to fight for Saddam. Conscripted Russians don't have great motivation.
  22. I took 2 Thai ladies to stay in Ukraine during Covid. They don't know where Ukraine is.
  23. I am getting a lot of requests from ladies to loan them 300 baht. I guess someone posted on Facebook that 300 baht is the ideal "ask", no one will much care if they lose 300 baht to a bargirl, but the bargirl can buy gold if they gets enough positive hits from her 3000 Facebook friends.
  24. You do understand that over a million people died trying to gain natural immunity..
