Though Thailand has a visible sex industry, and acknowledgement of that fact is not forbidden, ThaiVisa is not the place to seek or give information on this topic, regardless of your sexual habits, preferences or orientation.

They are an open holding area for the transients to serve out their 14-day quarantine. It looks like each province can take its own preventative measures and precautions.

Skallywag Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 The Curve will start to flatten in a few weeks. Hang in there TV posters. My prediction is less than 10,000 infected and just a few hundred dead here in Thailand before we return to normal as China is doing presently. Feel better now. You are all welcome. P.S., we will have to continue social distancing, wearing masks, and washing our hands for the rest of our lives!???????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stargeezr Posted March 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2020 I wear a mask, because when I have been around a lot of people like bikers and Thai guys, I have noticed how many of them do not cover their mouths when they cough, sneeze, or spit. So many also seem to think that their behavior is cool. The term thick as a brick comes to mind. Geezer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
