  1. I guess you know he is Chinese. And all his Thai lines were dubbed, badly it seems...

    The story is that he is/was the protégée of the major investor in the Video Series. So he came from China just to do the Series. There are many more stories floating about, but I will not repeat Fake News!!  ;)

    But yes he is most handsome...

  2. I have worn Columbia river sandals for years. And they wear and wear. 

    About USD40 at the Discount Mall. But I see on the Columbia web site that most Sizes are Out of Stock. Only showing Size 12 and 13...

    TEVA is also a good choice. But more expensive!!

    From the Malay Mail

    KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 3 -- British Airways has resumed flying into and out of Kuala Lumpur starting today even as the Covid-19 virus continues circle the globe.

    Malaysia continues to close its borders to international travellers. Exceptions are to citizens returning from abroad, permanent residents who meet certain requirements, and senior ranking foreign government officials travelling here on official business.

    Reader, please explain the last part of the Announcement. Who will be flying on these BA flights if Borders are closed to International Travelers?

  4. So let me ask about my confusion...

    If a person has in fact been infected with COVID-19, but has "recovered". Would they still test Positive? They should have the antibodies that are thought to"protect" them from getting the Virus again. But they would still be denied boarding or required to Quarantine upon arrival?

    And what about people who have been Vaccinated. Will they test Positive? Where does that leave them.

    Not easy to know going forward.

  5. I went to his web site with no problem.

    But when I clicked to view his travel posts, I got this...

    www.thaitravelblogs.com has been reported as containing malicious software. You can report a detection problem or ignore the risk and go to this unsafe site.

    Happened on both Chrome and Firefox. However the warning resulted from our good friend Google!

    NOT GOOD...

  6. Yes, all the Money Transfer Services make a profit on the Exchange Rate. I have given up on trying to compare them...

    Sending to the Philippines I use MoneyGram and WorldRemit. Usually I transfer from my Debit Card and then Cash is "instantly" available to my guy at one of the Pawn Shops. The fee is USD4-5. Only MoneyGram will make transfers to GCASH, that is the Mobile E-Wallet. The fee is USD1. But my guy must have a GCASH account. There are no fees charged to the Receiver.

    I do not use Western Union or PayPal or their ZOOM Transfer Service...

  7. We all need to realize that we white men are so much better off than our Thai or PH guys. Many of my friends in the PH have no work now and still Family and other expenses to shoulder.

    I have tried to send some money to my several friends in the PH. I have been using a Mobile Wallet, GCASH. Works well for them to have money for  food, utilities, or mobile load. Not sure what is the same there in Thailand.

  8. At least President Duterte is responding to the new spike in infections.  Not like our Pres Trump who still has he head in the sand, or someplace else.

    When I returned from the Philippines to the US in early March I thought the Virus would not be a significant problem in the US or the PH. And I could plan a trip in October. Little did I know!! And at this point I have stopped guessing. I am 79yo and have a lung problem so my main focus now is not getting sick!!!

    Life goes on!!!

  9. With the large number of new Covid infections in the USA, our neighbor State of Arizona is sending patients to hospitals in New Mexico. They are being transported by Ambulance. I do not know how far they must travel. Not a Airline Flight or Helicopter.

    But cases are also rising here in New Mexico. My Partner and I are at home and dutifully wearing a face mask outside and in stores. GOD WILL IT PLEASE END!!
