    agree and why  are the WAREHOUSES/OUTLETS allowed to sell alcohol at anytime of the day.....I know of at least eight in Jomtien that sell anytime of the day !!

    Because they have a wholesale license.
    This enables them to sell booze whenever they like, but only in wholesale quantities.
    So can't buy just one bottle of Singha, but a complete box of 24.

  2. Just got an answer from the limo service.
    Golfcarts are banned indeed......

    Here's the mail from limousine.in.th :
     

    Dear Peterbilt,

    Which service was this you'd booked with? 

     

    I have a Golf cart and Porter booked & paid with www.limousine.in.th and will be in Swampy in less than 2 weeks 

    I have a fasttrack booking including golfcart with them in a bit more then 3 weeks.
    Just did write an email to them and asked about the possible suspension of the service as well as the reimbursement of those 1,200 BHT paid extra.

    LATEST: #Westerdam now on the way to #Cambodia. Scheduled to arrive tomorrow morning. Appears more than 2,000 passengers may be allowed to disembark. #Thailand #Japan #Philippines #Taiwan have all refused the cruise ship to dock at its ports

    Good.
    And maybe the cruise trade association thinks about the countries and ports they are going to visit in the future. They should blacklist Thailand and its ports for at least a decade.

    There is another idea about the virus and why it is spreading there and not so much in other places.   It has to do with weather:

    Sounds possible to me (but I'm not a medic!). We should also keep in mind that many houses and flats in China do not have a heating. Thats an order by former dictator Mao who said that south of the Yangtse river a heating is not necessary.

    I remember a photo my ex-fiancee (she is BTW from Wuhan....) sent me. That photo shows a family meeting at lunar / chinese new year. Every person was wearing thick winter clothing, but they were inside a room....

    brilliant!  what will they think of next?

    What about stopping the entry via visa exempt? MFA will profit from that (Yes, they also need Mercs, Bimmers, Rolls and Bentleys...)
    Or what about an "Immigration Service Fee" (of course waived for citizens of India and China) payable at the point of entry?
    What about charging 5% commission when changing cash? (Goes to the excise dept, Chinese Yuan and Indian Rupees exempted)

    Right.

     

    Introduce hand cleaning into the immigration desk process and make it quicker. OOOkkkaayy.

     

    Or maybe bring your own hand cleanser, clean your hands in the queue and after you get stamped in  and stop passing your personal safety to somebody else?

     

    Too much to ask?

    No. I already got 3 small 100ml bottles of hospital grade handsanitizer. Problem with that stuff: Its highly flammable (contains ethanol at > 95% by volume). So I wrote to the airport authority in Frankfurt and asked them about having that stuff in cabin as well as checked luggage.
    Response: I MAY get my sanitizer thru the security check for hand luggage but the bottles in the checked baggage will most likely be removed (hazardous material) / stolen.....
    So if security has a bad day (they mostly have) I will end up with NO sanitizer at all in BKK.....

    Not as easy as it seems....

  8. Accouncement of the date comes pretty late.
    Luckily I was still able to book a room for those two days at a hotel away from the noise.
    Normally I would stay at View Talay 6 north side, but it gets the full blast of one of the stages. I still remember those two nights in June last year.....

    Ain't Thailand great?  If you did that in the nanny states, they'd own your hotel after the discrimination lawsuits.

     

    <OT>
    Well, Thailand ain't great.
    But you're right. Especially if he had done that in Germany the next night the militant communists (so called Antifa) would have burnt down his hotel.
    Those morons don't need a lawsuit, a few gallons of gasoline are sufficient.
    </OT>
