Popular Post connda Posted July 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2021 With masks, proper social distancing, and clean hands, well unless you're in the Prayut entourage and then you get a pass on all of the above. Special table, special view, special rules. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be working flat out super fast & super hard at getting vaccines and locking down containing the virus spread. 6000 new cases around the nation today. Sorry but it's not the right time for tourists to be flying in to have fun with their families. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be safer places to exist, but most Thai homes don't have a basement. Edited July 2, 2021 by impulse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Absolutely Horrible" was few months ago when those fancy clubs held parties with thousands of sweaty drunk partygoers rubbing against each other whole night lol. This thingy along Patong beach is quiet and safe affair, went there few times before, food stalls along the beach, families walking around, wearing masks and distanced. We'll come by tonight to see the fireworks and some new happy faces, cheer up guys ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
