looks that it's better to avoid those 5 stars in covid time. In my 25 days there in Dec only one hotel (Zing Jomtien ) asked me for proof of vaccination but I stay in more modest ( read cheaper ) places.

their job is not to control immigration but to have a job.

I don't need to look at Thais. We have now minus 15 Celsius and city bus had open window this morning so upon boarding promptly I closed it only to be chided by the driver that 'We have now open window policy to improve ventilation" , I'm kidding you not !!! Some idiot who probably never took the bus since finishing university ordered it , thinking that freezing to death saves us from Covid. I'm still shocked that driver was so stupid too instead of keeping quiet, after all I took only three stops and he is inside for the whole shift. No, I don't live in some operetta city or country. I'm telling you , whole world is getting stupid over covid.

that's too much oxygen on more serious note such decision perhaps can be done only on central government order . When I go to my local mall at every entrance there are 2 security guards behind the table who are asking every arrival " do you have any covid symptoms? " . Would somebody taking serious view of covid go to the mall with symptoms? Will covid deniers with symptoms answer ' yes, I do" ? I every world's corner there are to say the least weird ideas of fighting that virus

at least that shows oxygen is flowing to some brains in charge

Bad Buddy finished today, I expected it to be more dynamic based on the trailer but still interesting and entertaining and truth to be told , I can look at Ohm Phawat and his acting to no end. Kissing scene at end of episode 5 was great!

now you got nice , Agatha Christie like, mystery to solve and we are itching to find out what it will be in the end

" Wellness fuckbox " should be next bright idea one hopes

and he does. My sister lives in different country and when I go to see her nominal price of the ticket is roughly the same now it was 30 years ago. Then is was equivalent of about 1000 bus tickets , not the same price buys only 375 so it relatively 2/3 cheaper

that's cheap , I paid 3100 for required pre-departure test at PULSE clinic, still much cheaper that in cost at home ( 4600 )

it may take more time than vacations themselves

for sure they did as he was popular and had his followers. It's why so called celebrities should shut up and keep their counsel to themselves

I miss them too

yes , waiting impatiently ( no pressure though ☺️)

another idea to boost arrivals by increasing tourists confidence I guess

no , just go as planned , in May we may have 'ro' or 'sigma' variant, why take a chance ? You can always go in May again

hopefully busy with boys in meantime I guess

I read about Czech lady, she was actually very popular folk singer there. Hard not to agree that stupidity can be fatal. My long deceased god-mother used to say "I'm not afraid of anybody and anything , only of stupid people " . I can't say anything about quality of vaccines being prominent and well known , at least in my circle, pro-vaxer and I agree Russians botched introduction at , as we can see , their own peril, but my point about politicization was that as soon as they announced they had something, we in the West knew it will not be any good. How? That's politicization.

+1

# me too, this "inside not good " worries me a bit, I heard it already from somebody else

I'm surprised you did not jump into Test &Go as soon as they announced it

whom you know in the cabinet as you seem to have insider knowledge?

was political from beginning as soon as doctor who warned about it was silenced. Both sides of debate are to be blamed. I recall when Russians announced they had a vaccine it was criticized as inferior and not working before any results would come. Then Trumps, Bolsonaros, Magulfis and sores of others came denying danger to a great joy of thier supporters. Djokovic saga is just chapter 1157 of the same story with Serbia's antics of recalling ambassador etc. You right that world went CRAZY over that and logic with cool head seem to be in short supply.

even at 1000 most likely you have a point, on another hand good to know that Japan is not that expensive and cheap rooms can be had there on third hand still in February I rather be in Bangkok than Tokyo , no matter prices

since English is not my first language it was new word for me and I rushed to my Webster to check if I should be offended right away or only after following Monday but no, now I understand. I'm glad that some hearts beat faster reading my 'prose" as I was the same for almost 2 years, waiting for first hand reports about boys, bars and massages not closures , covids, quarantines and tests i.e subjects we don't like to hear about but can't escape them either in those times.
