And will continue to keep happening as I suspect they have no original thoughts of their own.

They are afraid to say something first because they are most afraid of being wrong with the accommpanying loss of face.

Since most thais dont read western news, they think they are hearing breaking news on the topic by their thai experts

so what are the new regs?

do the tourists now have to have a 7 day reservation at an approved hotel

in which they are jailed until their 2nd test comes back neg?

I was planning to go the the usa over xmas/NY

Ever notice they want to be hub for everything?

 

 

Never create, or manufacture, or develop.  Only have people or things created, manufactured or developed by other pass thru.

this is the fundamental principle of the financial industry, they dont create anything either, as the money flows through their channels, they take a slice no matter the direction, or profitability of the transaction for the user.

when a place requires a negative test to enter, I know I get a report from the pcr test done at a hospital/clinic.

but how would I show the results from the rapid akt test?

just take a picture of it?

There has been a huge rise in attacks on Asian in the USA , seen as revenge attacks for the spread of Covid

this guy robbed her. I agree that it was a hate crime, he hated not having the money for his next drink  or drug.

she is lucky she went to NYC and not to koh tao

In nyc she just got robbed. In kho tao she could end up dead

what could be considered a fair price has so many variables behind it based on the bar's style, area, rent, and affluence of the customers, amount of competition in the area, etc.

the problem is that TAT focuses on what they want, rather than what they can provide.

Build it and they will come.

But he cant help it, its just the thai mentality.

I recently had a gf tell me that she wanted me to support her.

I asked her what I would get in return upgrading her financial situation

she said, you get me. I replied, but I already have you....

Silence and glares ensued...

On the roads near me the authorities are busy making the roads even more dangerous. They have started to put a series of 1 meter high concrete posts down the grass verges on the road side. If you get a lunatic coming at you on the wrong side of the dividing line, there’s now nowhere to go. And motorbikes that plough into the grass verges on a fairly regular basis for one reason or another, will now hit concrete posts.

 

and the purpose of these posts is what exactly?

I think a better question might be which politician's family member has a company that does this

And further on in the report:

"Foreign arrivals under “test and go” and “sandbox” schemes are the only ones subject to a maximum of one-day quarantine while awaiting their negative COVID RT-PCR test results. For other arrivals, those who are fully vaccinated will be subject to 7 days isolation in their hotels, and one RT-PCR test plus a second antigen test, effective December 16th." (I added the emphasis)

 

So we're back to the quarantine scheme, just when it looked like tourism was starting to pick back up.

who exactly do they mean by "other arrivals who are fully vaccinated". I live in bkk and have booked to go to phuket over xmas and NY arriving after dec 16.

Would you please be kind and stop posting news about this no name virologist, who only repeats headlines from western media?

 

 

As a thai he will only repeat what someone else says first. If he went first then he might be wrong and lose face.

Then if it turns out to be wrong he can blame the other guy...

I heard that the Swedish guy wrestled down the Thai guy and held him until security came. But Safari World security just let the Thai guy go so they are just as responsible as an accomplice.

so it was a case of catch and release, rather than a hunt...

the french developed perfume because their body odor was so pungent due to their lack of bathing

since the media/government has convinced the Thais that getting covid is akin to a death sentence, telling them not to panic over the latest variant is falling on deaf ears.

My friend is a dentist in siam square and he told me today that 98% of the appointments this week have been cancelled by the patients.
