It's why reader is so optimistic about the outlook boding well for continued strong job prospects for constructions workers.

Thank you , I hope to see you there as well, not only because of that drink☺️ I follow developments closely but I will not go when all those non-sensical sandboxy restrictions are in place. I can live with proof of vaccination and perhaps test before flight but that's about it. On another hand if they open I'll go even if bars will not be opened yet as I firmly believe that closures won't last long after re-opening and early bird get a worm

Good to hear !!! St.Olaf , MN will be eternally proud of her, it's most famous daughter by far

WHAT ??? !!! Of course nobody does, it's enough to walk along in the morning and see how much rubbish is in the sand and nobody is doing anything about that

all boys employed previously found sponsors? it can't be anyways good sign certainly

I think along the same lines. Quite a few guys I was with and talked to had pretty firm plans as of what they will do with their money after they move from the scene. I recall one Tawan guy proudly showing me his pick up truck he bought back home which was being rented for various jobs while guy was still toiling in BKK. And another one whom I took for few days from Pattaya to Bangkok who asked me to pay agreed tips in lump sum at end of his stay so he can save all that money ( and of course creating excuse for asking me to buy him occasional small items as he did not have money )

or carry vinegar with you... LOL

thank you I learned something, I did not know that salt will remove leech. I knew about vinegar but who would carry vinegar for the hike ?

Perhaps finally we will get decent timed and reasonably fast connection from Bangkok to Pattaya as now 6.30 am train is not all that convenient. At least two times I was planning to use it just for fun but who and his boy would wake up that early?

thank you for those ideas, heat may be the problem to box of tissues to wipe a sweat may be necessary

but nice bulge where it should be here's another one from dream travel series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv_TSdIXbUE

still possible Christmas Travel 2020.mp4

it's one thing to open country but before we jump on the plane we need to make sure under what condition our own country will let us to return. But it's one more sign that things are moving in the right direction, Hope Thailand will follow

That Ivermectin story is brilliant,

since when one need to attend party to get drunk? Can't just 4 or 7 friends get together and empty some bottles ?

how do we know? Not that I don't agree or see merit in such gloomy statement but, specially 2nd part ( my underscore ), may or may not prove to be accurate. Material devastation may take longer to repair but one of immaterial nature like pandemic effect may be repaired surprisingly fast.

thank God no loss of life is reported and good news to all those roadside fishermen catching awesome fish specimens as shown in quoted article and also on YouTube clip somebody posted yesterday

and this is question answer to many workers world over are pondering during pandemic not restricted to sex workers. I see people settling in new jobs, deciding to retire, going back to school and making all kinds of decision forced by the situation they found themselves in during pandemic so situation of sex workers in by no means unique although it may be much harsh because , as you noted above, their limited shelf life. As for what happens to the scene anybody's guess is as good as next person. All scenarios are possible from most of venues closing permanently for lack of funds or /and personnel all the way to rebound happening much faster than anybody expects since bringing bar back to life requires dusting of spider webs, mopping floor and making several phone calls to former staff. We can only speculate but in fact nobody knows , even people in the business. My guess is that it will be mix of those extremities, some venues will go back to life very fast and many of others breathed their last already without even knowing it. So for first several months we will have less choices in more crowded places. The same will probably happen to us - some will return as soon as it will be possible, others will take 'wait and see" approach resulting in coming later on or abandoning idea of travel to Thailand at all because they find other interesting places or even that life without travel is quite bearable.

YouTube here's link to episode 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4omYc8zMtvY

sun rises and sets the same like everywhere, if Thai people eat so wayward tourist will find something to eat. Unobstructed view toward Wat Arun and lack of crowds in Grand Palace may be an attraction itself. For me only deterrent are entry requirements , not what's may be on the ground there. But world is slowly coming to senses , so will Thailand one day

that seem to be a problem in many places, powers are either too afraid to ease up or too easy going to dismiss any threat.

At least they identified obstacles correctly, first step in right direction

7 project I watched episode 2 today and liked it better than first. Not BL in this episode but few familiar faces from other BL series (Yaht, Earth, Sammy)

shortly we will have saying ' you can take ladyboy out of bakery but you can't take bakery out of ladyboy"
