Popular Post vinapu Posted June 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2020 Today at 2.30 pm I was supposed to land in Swampy according to he ticket I'm still holding. Plan was to pass immigration , take a train to Phaya Thai, change to BTS and walk from Sala Daeng to still undecided hotel. First massage was supposed to be at Senso and in the evening I was hoping to itch to check if my dream boy at Jupiter is still there, Unfortunately for well known reason it came to naught and timing of trip # 21A is still unknown. Some seeing a tittle and then reading narrative will be disappointed but rest assured , not even 1/10 of how disappointed I am. But hope dies last anddy, traveller123, stijntje and 15 others 7 7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too shabby especially if pattaya s part of the holiday lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londoner Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Vinapu is right but we older guys (or at least me) fear that soon, travel to Thailand may be beyond us. The months of sanuk we are missing now may not be available. GWMinUS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travellerdave Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I’ve spent 4 months in lockdown hardly spending any money. I would love to distribute my savings to worthy recipients [ie Asian boys and gay bars}. Unfortunately travel to Thailand from the U.K. seems completely impractical as the moment with quarantine requirements on arrival and also on return to U.K. , despite flights being available. I don’t understand why Thailand is still on the U.K. list for quarantine whereas many European destinations with far worse Covid records have been free. if somehow I did manage a trip setting a budget would be the last thing on my mind ! vinapu and Will7272 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londoner Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 My guess is that the no-quarantine arrangements will be reciprocal; both governments will have to agree to lift restrictions at the same time. By the way, my boyfriend has an extension to his house in Kamphaeng Phaet, thanks to the virus. If the October trip meets the same fate as the June one, as seems likely, I'm bloody well spending that money on myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
