    Last month I stayed at The Quarter Silom for Test & Go.  I arrived at five minutes after midnight.  Private car drove me to a drive through testing site at the Paolo Hospital in Saphan Kwai.  The results were available when I woke up in the morning.  I was at the hotel about 1:15 AM, drinking a cold Singha beer.

    They advertised a 6 hour test window at the time I booked the hotel package.  Only 3,899 for room, test, car, and breakfast.  Hard to beat that price.  But do check, it may be different now.  I booked through Agoda.

     

    Thanks for the tip. They were remarkably unhelpful when I reached out to them directly, but I'll ask them what hospital they're using.

    I'm arriving near midnight, and notice some of the hospitals have 24 hour testing drive throughs, not sure about others. Bumrungrad, for instance, does clarify that you can get the tests before noon. Given the comment above about BNH testing speed, I'm a little concerned I'd end up losing a day in the hotel.

    Rather stay in Silom, but that seems less likely. I'd also rather not spend a lot on my room, since I want to save that money for... other things.

    Any advice? I've tried googling express PCR testing, and not gotten much. If I knew which hotels used which hospitals, I could at least know which ones I could make express tests.

     

  3. I'm planning to add a visit to the Philippines to my March trip to Thailand. 

    But, all my googling gives me little idea how picking up guys works there, or where I should visit and stay.

    Will anybody take pity on me and give a newbie some pointers?

    Where should I stay/visit? How do you find guys and where? I've managed to find some on twitter, but even then many are unclear to me as to whether they're offering just massage, or more, and whether they service guys at all.

    I guess we'll see. Omicron spiked really fast elsewhere and then fell off quickly. It is doing that here in the US now as far as I can tell, the trend is now down nationwide.

    My trainer whose normal job is in ER said they broke new records last week here in Oregon at his hospital, so I think Omicron is peaking here now.

    I am hopeful, if for no other reason than I've spent so much time in despair at the stupidity of my fellow americans, that I've decided "fuck it. Let the idiots die, I'm moving on. I'm vaxxed and boosted. If they think they can win a macho battle with a virus, it's just improving the gene pool."

    I was thinking if I did this, I'd probably hit Thailand first, so that if I needed to, I could just abandon that leg of the trip.

    This year. I'm hoping the hoops you have to jump through will be clear in Thailand. Much less clear that the Philippines will be doable, but probably.

    I'm just hoping that we get off the Omicron spike and I can catch a travel window. I'm not interested if I have to do a long quarantine.

    Aaron Rodgers, for those who don't know him, is the quarterback of the Greenbay Packers (American Football). They were the number 1 seed and expected to make a run to the superbowl. Then they lost their first game in the play offs, which made me chuckle.

    Aaron Rodgers lied about his vaccination status to the media, then made up some bullshit story about being allergic to the vaccine when he got outed as a vaccine liar.

    Glad the universe showed him to be the loser that he is.
