I never heard of the hospital isolation. Only hotel quarantine. It's a real crapshoot to go. Take lots of insurance and money!

Even if they are allowed to open, will they open?

(Gogo) bars need customers and big bars need lots of customers when they want to be able to afford lots of candy on stage.

And in the moment there are just not enough customers for all those bars.

It seems some owners who own several bars think about opening maybe one of them and then look what will happen.

Now some (many?) bar owners have arrangements with their landlords because the bars are closed. If they open again then those landlords want more money. Will the bars make enough money to afford that? For many the answer is probably: No.

 

I hope my Butterflies return!

Dose that includes the lady of the night we like and admire? i hope so, they were THE major attractions to most of the nightlife mongers and patrons over the last 30 years that i know...

My guess is they don't qualify for Social Security. A dang shame too!

We are the only SS they have.

Hey guys! Prostitution by any other name is not prostitution.

Homepro Pattaya very helpful young lady filled on in when i bought an electric saw, never happened since

I am curious as to what happened after you left. She bought a stamp and mailed the card?

Get it occasionally. They probably get an upset stomach sometimes like we all do.

How do you treat it?

Wait!!! He's the health minister? A true leader.

He should just ask her.  Thais are not generally backward in coming forward about money (or lack thereof).

 

They need to know the pecking order so the wealthiest person is the one that pays the restaurant bill.

 

In fact she'll probably consider it an insult that he hasn't asked her yet.

Asked her to pay the bill in the restaurant?

We are in a small village so I really don't anticipate any issues, but you never know.

 

Really don't want to be a headline on Monday ???? 

Just keep the brown envelopes handy

I have always toyed with the idea of converting a shophouse to a loft-type abode.

My stereotype of Thais is that they view real estate as a place to bank money. Not as keen on thinking about return on investment as Westerners. IMHO  I'm sure there are many exceptions.

Surely there must be a 7.11 close to you so you can go in and look as not all do have it.

And booze is not available from 2-5pm, and I think that it has not been since 2014 when you joined TV/AN.   LOL

My experience has been the rule has not always been universally enforced. There were times I had no problem buying whisky at supermarkets anytime.

Thailand is effectively closed as of now because of the statement made to stop T & G

Nobody is going to trust coming to Thailand, and on Day 7 have PCR test that could be positive, and then confined to an expensive Quarantine Facility

Isn't insurance that covers possible quarantine a requirement? I get confused by all the changes.

I didn’t see any question regarding PCR test

So do you have to reapply under the new quarantine rules?

You have reached the point in your life where you should give up drinking and take up meditation and doing good works for others.

it will make you a wonderful and happy person. 

Can you make the change?

The poll was of his sycophants in government..

Just the other day Anutin said he wants to be Prime Minister. That means he wants to follow Prayut's conservative thinking.

OK, the Omicron situation is not so bad yet here ( possibly ), but the Omicron variant has displayed its rampant nature already around the Globe, doubling every 2 Days..

For Sure Thailand will get the Omicron Virus Variant, but its a question of how soon it become a real issue here.

Best wishes

A real issue when they do more testing.

Curious as to what you would consider similar to PI. What does PI have that you like? Can't answer your question until you explain that.

A bit more difficult now for the uber-rich British tourists to get here.

Which airline will be the next one to cancel?

Any other ideas TAT?

I fly EVA from the States and they canceled all flights to BKK last year. I just want to spend my money. 555

I would hate to have to fly an American airline. I have been seeing they code share with KAL.

All should be SHA approved.

you still have to handle your balls

I remember when I first starting visiting Thailand in 1983 Thais wore their gold when they went out. Lots. The women looked good in it. You don't see that anymore. I also remember people who had been out socially were followed home by guys on a motorbike and relieved of their showy necklaces.

And there is a bit of discrimination against non-Thais in Thailand. Never will be seen as equal. What if one day non-Thais were thought to be overtaking Thais in numbers in Thailand? I guarantee there would be a problem.

Whites see they will soon be outnumbered by non-Whites in the States. 

Is there anything positive (regarding returning to the past glory) happening on Walking Street? Any bars getting refurbished, any bars getting ready to open, any girls hanging out?

Wow! What if they actually did simplify entry? I'm waiting.
