I'll take my chances. The common flu causes death. Did you cover up prior to covid-19? If you didn't and you were near other people while contagious, you could've killed someone. you'll take your chances? Great. What a brave warrior you are. While you are taking your chances, you are spreading the disease on to others, without even knowing you have it. It's not about YOU and only YOU, it's about other human beings too. Be a decent human being and go hibernate and cover yourself. Don't be a jerk. If everyone is sick, hospitals are so not ready for the amount of people that need treatment. Is that what you want? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As things stand anyone from the US and Europe can forget coming for a while. China? First ones back. I don't. They'll still have everyone and anyone, esp when a vaccine is in place. Suggest ensuing hordes of uncouth Chinese keep their heads down, however, or receive some serious flack. The Thais have wised up. As for the bars, wouldn't give it a second thought. Life will move on. Edited April 15, 2020 by daveAustin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You apparently don't know LOS as well as I. Yes there are amazing spots elsewhere but more amazing spots in LOS than anywhere else I've been, but they have to be found as not on the tourist trail. The only place that I'd like to live other than LOS is Lakeland in England, but it's ruined by way too many tourists and is far too expensive now. LOS has the ideal combination of being unpopulated in most areas other than tourist places like Pattaya, weather, and affordability, while still having good healthcare and facilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have enough phone numbers and contacts for direct invitations. I don't have to make the detour to see the slow shuffle dancers in bikinis glued on there cell phones. Wasted time for me. I would go to the bars for the same reason I don't buy fruit on line. I like to inspect the object I wish to purchase/ rent up close and personal. The happy ending was for me the END of an enjoyable night out, not the night out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read all the past posts from the drinkers who think booze kills the virus. They seem to actually believe it. It would all be one big crowded party if they had their way and probably will be with any relaxing of the restrictions. So it seems like it would be shrewd move to pick up a lease for a bar while prices are still not that low and hold it until things get going again. That sounds like the type of customers I would love to have. Lease while there is blood in the streets. I don't think the bar industry will ever come back as strong. Prayuth hates it and seems to be more powerful than ever. I remember when people cheered Thaksin being ousted and then things became steadily worse. No way Prayuth loosens his grip after this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never wished to visit any of them in the past, so why would I want to now? Spain 555555555555555 I've seen photos of the beaches- I'd cut it off with a rusty razor blade before I went there. Strangely you seem to assume I'm rich. The truth is I had to leave LOS because I couldn't afford the cost of health insurance. I could afford to live there, but not the cost of insurance, and LOS is not somewhere to be old and uninsured. LOS has indeed lost its shine for those that don't want to venture out of the tourist areas. Other than them, LOS shines as brightly as ever it did. Sadly, the charm left many years ago, along with the smile, but that didn't stop me wanting to live there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they not 'decent human beings'? People die from the flu. I will be helping spread immunity to achieve herd immunity. You can hibernate or wear a bubble if you want, as can anyone else.
