True, I have a very slight respiratory problem. No problem what so ever in most countries I visit. But, in Thailand it makes it absolutely not livable several months a year. I thought I had out grown the problem. Also the older I am getting, 70 now. It is getting worse for me there. I didn't have allot of problems yeas ago when I used to live there. Now it is not possible.

Problem is rent and buying a home is so expensive now it is crazy. I bought a home in Texas about 18 years ago. If i had to come back and rent I could not afford it. The US is getting crazy. My appraisal value on my home here went up almost 50,000 since last year's appraisal.. It is insaine.

If you don't mind chocking to death 6 months a year it is great.

Haha, what a clown show.

Haha, you guys are crazy... Love these TOT threads..

So what! Happens everywhere. Christmas, New Years. It flattens back out and most are mild cases.

Hospitals and quarantine centers are open,, that is what counts. Have a great vacation.

With military run countries, it never gets better. The writing is on the wall. It will progressively get worse.

Stick it where the sun don't shine Thailand. I am sick of the stupidity. Leaving on my next outing next month.

I am beginning to think Thailand will never fully reopen. The people making the money will not let it happen. So, I am tripple vaccinated , Covid is not a concern what so ever now in the US. Why in the world do I need to go threw all the nonsense to enter? Just nonsense! I am off to SA again in May. Scre## Thailand.

First Thailand and TOT targeted China, then China started a world pandemic. Then Thailand and TOT targeted Russia, and Russia started a war with Ukraine. Now they are targeting India. Maybe a locus plague will befall India.. who knows. If I was India I would brace for a disaster of biblical proportion.

Who is going to run the country if all the Fruits are going to China..

Just looked out my window here in the US.. The house about 5 houses down is doing a good business. The cops pass by all the time .. This is a middle class neighborhood. Why would I come to Thailand for hemp... ha.

Same in the US. It's a mess here.

If China follows Russias lead. Tourism in Thailand will be R&R for the Chinese and Russian soldiers.. Western expats will be in a rush to get out. I wonder what is going on with the western expats in Russia and the Ukraine that got caught up in that mess?

I lived in Kolok for a while. I bet the Malaysian young, men were about to bust.... haha But, when I was there you could bypass immigration with little trouble. I wonder how it was during the pandemic. Anyone living on the border there have a comment?

Search? Most getting hit with Thai span and clicking on the search engine.

Only if you let it scam you!

It not just the tourist dependent Thais. It is devastating the economy. I have a friend in a small town in the north. They tell me they have never seen anything like it.

Thailand allied with China, China allied with Russia. hummmm Thai generals skipping around in their underwear wondering what the heck happened..

Anyone betting against the US for being a financial global superpower for the foreseeable future has political propaganda dry rot in their head. haha

Car salesman come to mind. they go talk to the manager and change the way to screw you. Nothing will change here. Might as well write off Thailand. Hard to believe the changes in the last few years. Times have changed for sure. Time to move on.

Chinese economy is in the toilet. If and when it ever rebounds then we can resurrect this thread. Chinese immigrants have owned Thailand for years. US is not even in the picture.

Thailand is clickbait capitol.

Thai tourism council has 0 pull. Not organized and no money to spread around apparently.
