Help me refresh my memory. Who was it that seeded the outbreak at the "entertainment" clubs well after when they were supposed to have closed?

Let's call a spade a spade here. Opening bars/clubs is absolutely going to cause a rise in cases. It's just logic that masses of people in tight spaces who are there for a while and talking more loudly will do that. However, with the vaccinations, you can't delay it forever, so just rip the bandaid now (and I say this as someone who was labeled a doomsayer back in April and May). These poor people have suffered enough financially

Anybody have an idea of how things are supposed to look this upcoming week? Landing tomorrow... Thanks

You answered your own question my man

Anything in particular in Nai Harn that's worth seeking out? Have done my research for Rawai but not sure on Nai Harn Thanks!

apologies If this has been answered elsewhere I return November 12. Had received my COE earlier this week. Will this still be good? I had set it for 7 days in Phuket or do I still need the Thailand pass? thanks

Thanks everyone! How about Dicyclomine (bentyl)

Does anyone know if this medication is readily available? Returning to the country shortly and not sure if I need to come back with enough to last. Taking it in a relatively low dose for stomach issues Thanks

It's pointless to have a conversation with someone when they think a mask is supposed to be an impenetrable force field

How can we be this far into it and people like you STILL Don't comprehend it? Yes, a negative test within 72 hours is helpful, however, as has been pointed out countless times in this thread) and should be common sense at this point), the incubation period for the virus can be up to 5 days. It's just one more safeguard that they have in place, and quite frankly, an extremely minor concession to no longer needing to quarantine or sandbox.

Honestly that's a completely valid reason because those policies are beyond abhorrent (I mean, I left the US because of what the right is doing to women, minorities and the GLBT communities). It's a shame because the citizens, who largely disagree with the government and their policies, are the ones who suffer. But I get it. I just hope that you treat all countries with human / civil rights issues the same way

How are there so many of you that STILL don't comprehend why it was essential for gyms and health centers to be closed? Seriously, how are people that dense? No doubt, being in shape and living a healthy lifestyle is important should you become infected. But you know what the key element of that is? SHOULD YOU BECOME INFECTED. Working out isn't some magic bullet that prevents you from being infected, which is what matters more than anything, nor do gym trips boost your immune system at the drop of a hat. Outside of mass gatherings and religious centers where people are in close quarters and singing/chanting, gyms, fitness centers and yoga studios are some of the worst places you can be for a highly infectious virus. Being in poorly ventilated, cramped rooms where you're breathing heavily and expelling bodily fluids nonstop is incredibly dangerous, and they had every reason to close them while this highly infectious virus was spreading like wildfire (without any vaccines)

I'd caution you about throwing stones in glass houses, but after reading your posts in this thread, I can't imagine your house has too much glass in it to begin with And yeah, you definitely don't care what the country and its citizens think or do. Nothing screams not caring quite like multiple pages of posts draped in lunacy while also wishing further devastation upon 70 million people all because your trip to pay for women last year was cancelled due to a pandemic

What's terrifying is there are so many people who think like this

Came into this forum to ask this exact question since the flight I want is exponentially cheaper if flying to BKK first. Appreciate the info. Hopefully there's a change soon

So no more Extra Plus? <deleted> yeah

So have they just completely given up on manufacturing the Astrazeneca doses here?

Should I assume that with the reduced quarantine, you'll still be required to stay at a Samui Extra Plus hotel for the 7 days? Or do we just not know yet?

Because prisoners are people too?

And once again, you completely ignore the substance of his post

There, the crevasse!

I've read a lot of terrifyingly illogical comments in these threads since I joined almost a year ago, but that one seriously might take the cake

Just to be clear, you don't understand why it's important, with an ultra-contagious virus, to determine whether people actually have it and thus can spread it like wild fire without any preventive steps taken?

Anyone on Koh Tao right? What's the situation like? Does it look like this is just sort of a plateau of cases or the calm before the storm? Planning on coming back end of October, spending my first 7 in Samui and then a few weeks on Tao Thanks

Seriously, the fact that an entire nation of people were able to create the notion of saving face, where they never have to admit responsibility or be called out for anything, is truly something special
