Third time lucky - December 2021 trip to Thailand in covid time
vinapu replied to vinapu's topic in Gay Thailand
Boarding pass will not tell how long we were somewhere but has one piece of information I believe they are looking for - where we were seated in case some case will be detected aboard. Yes I noticed z909 was equally surprised but I decided to stress it again as people may tend to dispose boarding passes as soon as they are seated aboard. As for your question,, why now,,? It was mainly to act on old Lenin's question: "if not us, then who?, if not now then when"? Reasons were few :I waned to utilize my old ticket before airline gives any sort of deadline which may or may nor suit me in the future- there are months wheb traveling would be financially suicidal for me. Curiosity to see how it is now, desire to be that early bird catching the worm, few quite encouraging messages from members on the ground already are other reasons. I always say that we need only one bar and only one guy in that bar so it's time I act on my own wisdom I decided. Holding ticket paid already exactly 2 years ago to a day and very economical hotel prices are other reasons. Desire to see celebrations of closure of Halampong was other point as I, m and always were railwayman by heart. Not to mention fun of attending midnight mass at HOLY Redeemer on Christmas Eve. Two years of staying at home helped to built my own travel fund beyond expectations. And you know what? I simply missed Thailand and now sitting on the balcony of my prison I see I missed her even more than I thought. Since I,m already vaccinated my reasoning is I Don't need to worry about getting sick, they are always others who do, right? While point about bars is valid there's danger thet it may be very long before they open in former format, another point of not waiting. And there's sense of adventure to go when not many do, although plane yesterday was almost full, traffic in all airports on my way was noticeably reduced even for time of year. I was thinking about January but I may have something coming up, that' one and if it, what stops me from returning in January again, not likely but not impossible either. So reasons are many and none IMNSHO particularly stupid. Whether trip was good use of time and resources remains to be seen when it be over. Hope that answers your question. -
I agree with all above but after such long period of closure and uncertainty what' s possible now I 'd giver bars some slack for a good start.

It was supposed to be Jun 2020 trip but Thailand did not let us in, then I tried my luck for October this year but canceled it. When Thai Pass came to an effect I decided to finally utilize that prehistoric ticket I bought back on Dec 3, 2019 for Jun 2020. And here I'm, feeling like chewing gum after 27 hrs trek, locked in my hotel room, waiting for a nurse to come and take my sample for dreaded PCR test. First time took Swiss and must say that their good reputation is well deserved, massive Boeing 777 plane was surprisingly full with plenty of mixed Thai-Caucasian couples prominently visible in statistic sample and a lot of young people. Few nice surprises on arrival. Thai bashers will be disappointed to hear that admission process was extremely efficiently conducted, well organized and well staffed. In reality they want to see your passport, Thai Pass QR code, immigration T6 form or whatever it'called AND YOUR BOARDING PASS FROM LEG BRINGING YOU TO THAILAND, somewhat unexpected. At 6 am weather extremely pleasant, perhaps no more than balmy 23,even now at 9.30 I' m sitting in my room with balcony door wide opened, AC turned off and all that in the room actually facing the sun. Traffic was also light, Sunday morning has it' s charms. Dtac booth selling Sim cards was opened, just past luggage belts and I noticed 1 exchange booth open but rates were kind disappointing so I did not change money there. Somebody reported messy and disorganized taxi procedure but it was not my experience,as you leave customs area there tables with names of participating hotels and somebody will lead you to your car from there. I must say I need to bite my tongue not to ask my hotel representative if he would be interested in LT since he will be right in place on the Moonlight stage. That is it for now, I will try to update you guys but test, results and well deserved rest first before I even venture anywhere from my temporary and quite pleasant confinement.

Good point, I never wear jeans but just admit very often find guys in jeans very sexy
-
now we know where color of uniforms is coming from
-
yes and we still remember banners in soi Twilight ' this soi will go on for another 6 years"
-
that's fine al long as I'm not required to carry it with me whenever I'm going, that's big difference
-
last thing we need is tracking device on our phones, covid or not. I find idea of being fined for not having one very Stalinist one What's next ? chains?
-
I'm looking for good hearts, not sizes although size helps
-
when he is coming and what bar he will be working in ?
-
slowly but surely Bangkok public transit system is covering more and more ground Hope massage places in LadPrao soi 101 survive until access will be made so easy
-
should be OK now, I had the same but now all is good
-
No doubt but many of us have such an option in places 3 hours flight away , never mind 13 or 23.
-
and this brings another question; will their populaces will be patient enough to go through another rounds of lockdowns and closures ?
-
I have my doubts whether as many people will travel to Thailand to comb through the apps which can be done at home instead of entertaining themselves in bars. Approaching Mona Lisa in the Louvre can't be compared at staring at the same painting even on the best computer screen .
-
and there's another problem : even if vaccines are available will they be used as certain part of populaces in both developed and developing countries are flat-earthers flatly refusing getting a shoots ?
-
how you take it? raw or well done ? Photo may be of poor quality but certainly guys there are not. From what you say and show it looks I may start liking soi 4, who would think? World is really changing, LOL
-
looks less than inviting , at least for now but hope dies last
-
I agree , nice kissing scene at end of episode
-
alreday? they were supposed to open on the Dec 2nd Hope somebody will visit and report his findings
-
that sounds like wise choice
-
it looks that they are changing testing regime to antigen from Dec 16th so practically it applies to new Thai Pass registrants
