Great news. Canceling my AQ booking and tearing up my COE for next week now.

A lot of these announcements both in Thailand and in the US feel like marketing stats. I empathize with the vax resistant in some respects. (fully vaxxed by the way, teen children included)

Gmx German reliability, free... And still unpopular enough to where you can get a 3 character email address. (life hack for travelling and for when you have to give your email out on the phone to people with various accents). ????

Thanks for the reply. Yes, no doubt the numbers overall are going to be low.

That seems kind of low. I don't have access to an Amadeus terminal but just my immediate family has 5 seats (returning to BKK) for a trip I'm on now and another 9 in December on KE,.... I don't think we're 5% of Skyteam bookings to BKK. Haven't done a survey of friends and family but judging from their TikTok and IG feeds, I know of at least 50-60 people who are travelling (and presumably will be coming home.... Although of course other folks have their own favorite carriers/alliances). Can you see all Skyteam bookings or just Delta marketed Skyteam codeshare flights?

TH has always been a favorite for Japanese charity and development. It's kind of how many households here view their Laotian maids.

The US CDC card is very bare bones. Just the dates the jabs were administered along with the vaccine name and batch number, also the name of the nurse who gave the jab.... All handwritten. We had the hospital print out secondary verification (basically just the same information on hospital letterhead along with a supervising physician's signature/stamp) in anticipation of the likely wave of people coming up with fake vaccination cards.... that coupled with photos of us at the hospital getting the jabs, ready to whip out should our jabs be questioned by airlines or immigration anywhere. I would have done the old school newspaper prop to timestamp the photos but couldn't find any shops still selling newspapers. ???? Hopefully there will be some kind of international standard that some techie will come up with, maybe blockchain based.

*Bump* There's also an error/bug on the Thai national form for US mobile number (US site, LA consulate). It allows you to enter +0 if you don't have an "other country" number but the system rejects you for not having a number a day later. Resubmitted with Google number. Knock on wood.

Now that's the kind of anecdotal stuff I was looking for... ????????

Yeah my GP has no idea about what the various customs/border control orgs around the world will stipulate as OK to enter. Not really concerned with actual vaccine effectiveness; more concerned with the legalities of vaccines in regard to travel. Hence the wide 'what have you heard' net.

Some of us are early, a lot of us hope we're early, many of us are balls tingling/praying we're early... Because like all things in life, it can really turn on a dime. Only the first group has nothing to worry about... worst case is you lose $xk-x0k in 'legacy funds.'

For travel that is. I know it's still early days. It seems the standard is 2 weeks from your 2nd dose (of a 2 dose regimen) to be considered fully vaccinated. Any word on how long you're good for though? 1 year? Hopefully not less, hopefully longer. The first 'classes' of fully vaxxed folks (Americans and people who had availability first) should be coming up on one year in December.

You can slow them down a bit using an unexpected finger. Your toe's pinky for example. (and obviously don't let them see you do any transactions)

Awesome thanks. So if you had a house in Phuket you could just sleep at home and just swing by the hotel once a day and to do your PCR tests. ???? Hopefully these new sandboxes will have similar protocols.

Hope the details come out soon. So many options to choose from. *excited*

I assume that you must return to your hotel each night. Is it on the honor system or do you need to check back in like a teen summer or church camp? If so, is there a hotel curfew time?

USD are kind of fake as well, and our bodies are temporary. I plan to continue to be comfortable working within those parameters. ????

The registration announcements I've seen are still '12 and over WITH health issues.'

I like the idea... if I was younger I'd help people visually display their vaccination status through fashion/tech... Maybe some kind of hologram verification app on your phone. "I'm sorry, I only hookup with PZ+MDs.......yes, we allow food delivery from SVs but they have to walk through our UV light foyer first..." I've always wondered what living through something dystopian would be like.

Great movie.

IMO some opinions would change if the murderer didn't enrich himself through his duty as a police officer. Say if he simply was a torturer of drug dealers and other criminals. I bet he would get the same pass that a lot of us give those young men and women at Abu Ghraib.

We regularly use these at home. Takes 15-20 minutes per room. IMO also a good idea to sun bake or UVC zap your cars for an hour or two a week if you have indoor parking.

This may be crypto (in its current form) soon enough. It's been a great ride for 8-9 years but being conservative with one's gains feels pretty good when you take tech history into consideration. Cutting edge graphics from Atari 2600s Combat. You're in the green tank. Grand Pap is in the blue one. It's a rental. ????

Nice number... 2 pair of nines. If you sold a btc today and bought back in at 10 cents (that's assuming the zombies don't get ya), you'd have 500k btc. ????

Wait, Thais don't need insurance for the AQ route but Do need insurance for the sandbox?
