Sounds familiar

Hometown Embrace finished today, not the greatest series but certainly watchable with only 8 short / 1/2 hr. / episodes, all in woods, far from usual Bangkok and university settings. Few very handsome actors.

Somehow I cant recall that USA was ever concerned about treatment of women in it's great ally , Saudi Arabia. Double standard smells from a mile

I do. I was not coming from Thailand , nor even from Asia so this kind of interrogation smells very Stalinist for me

I think that confusion applies to all travelers from all countries arriving to anywhere. Recent 'The Economist' reports that IATA website required 200 updates about various entry rules world wide in just ONE day

Only consolation is that it seems no government has a clue what to do and it's " try and see " approach everywhere . I recently visited two countries before returning to my own. Country 1 required proof of full vaccination and a pre-trip registration for tracking purposes indicating where I will be reachable. Vaccination proof was checked on both ends of trip but that registration only on departure, not arrival, go figure ! Country 2 did not even bother to ask for proof of vaccination on arrival but checked for it on departure. It also required pre-trip registration for tracking but only in QR code form, nor printed one. Good luck to those who don't have smartphone or it's battery just died. Fortunately border officials were helping them with their own phones, I'm kidding you not ! My own country was only one requiring pre-flight PCR test made up to 3 days before departure, likely to give me 3 days chance to catch something anyways but at great expense of 150$. Proof of vaccination and arrival registration form was also required and given cursory glance at the border. As if to produce justification to post it here border official were chiefly interested not in all those certificates but with several Thai stamps in my passport , most recent from exactly 22 months ago and usual questions "why you go there too often " etc. followed. One another hand one of my friends just completed three week circle rail trip around the Europe - Germany, Poland, Czech, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Italy , France, Germany and doesn't recall any case when he was asked to provide anything other that cash or credit card neither in restaurants not hotels , not to mention non-existing borders. So it seems that nonsense is largely limited to air travel. While I'm happy to finally be able to go somewhere after those 22 months I have an impression that world collectively is slowly loosing it's sense in this pandemic and suffers mighty lack of co-ordination blended with random over-regulation. While it may seem to be only nuisance it may produce disastrous results in next elections as tired populations may vote for any idiot promising to end all that nonsense.

that's sad and for families involved outright disaster but in a great scheme of things not that bad for country of 70 million. There were European countries with half of Thailand's population with 30 000 cases and 600 deaths a day as late as April this year and managed to overcome it. Key word - vaccinations

Neither Britain not later USSR and USA achieved their goals in Afghanistan, now it's China's turn to get entangled there ( Taliban supporting Uyghur case? )and meet the same fate. Sadly it should be left to Afghan people to solve their country's ills as they see it.

I only hope that those prohibited sunscreens won't be available for purchase on every 7/11 anyways , ban or not.

only if granddaughter is stupid she 'd invite grandma, why to risk she spoils festivities?

Equestrian events for 1956 Olympics were held in Stockholm , Sweden instead. Thank you all for very interesting discussions above as I read whole thread in one shot. Not that anybody cares but for the record , Barcelona Olympics in 1992 were last I watched. After that, with 1996 games sold to Atlanta instead to Athens for centennial celebrations I ordered myself to boycott whole thing and grand total of minutes I watched Tokyo games were 3 / three /

I doubt, like in every country most people don't travel abroad , don't even have passport and likely never will

The same here, mine gas only those plus last 4 digits of health insurance card

Instead of booster doses they should rather donate or sell them to countries in need of first doses. Otherwise rich countries will be boosting while poor ones dyin

I'm kind of optimist as recently I managed to visit country with half of Thailand's population which as late as April 2021 had almost 30000 cases a day, vaccinations changed everything , at least for time being

Like all of us

I's settle for even 2 months and hope he is right although I kind of not believe it'll happen

considering I'm flying off overseas tonight ( regretfully not to Thailand ) all those true stories are keeping my spirit up before taking off, he , he.

I wonder when was last time it was working

being gay poster satisfies that requirement

you are right but there's always danger of being by-product of witch hunt targeted at somebody else. True , some people are very nonchalant using their employers devices and e-mails and as PeterPS mentioned above , own their misery to themselves.

That's why I think news about death of bars , saunas and even street trade may be a bit premature

nothing fascinating , rather very sad. Big Brother working overtime, a bit past 1984 but catching up very fast. What's next? somebody will be brought down because it will be revealed he is contributing to Gayguides forum ?

from what I know it'll be only 3 episodes but I may be wrong. Good news, Kong is yours , I settle gladly for other one, lips more kissable, LOL Yes , scene with hands gently touching is extremely cute

I start watching this, not much going on but very cute, both boys and series itself. Two episodes already available.
