or travellers deceived themselves by rushing bookings but not reading what they are buying. Some hotels if not all of them are selling both quarantine and regular bookings and at least on Agoda it's easy to make a boo-boo.

I braved to enter Tawan late in my trips , perhaps 8 or 9th so I guess in it's tragic stage and still liked it very much to an extend that on one of my 2 weeks trips I was on their mono-diet so only hope they open , tragic or not

I like Dave

Early Christmas in soi 4 or what? Actually it would be fun to have a meal with the boy du noit right there before retiring to check stamp collection

that risk may be mitigated by the fact that planes rarely are full those days

speak for yourself Nirish

doesn't mean retail is not cashing in and festive decorations are quite common

In Bangkok ' empties out " means less extremely crowded

hope dies last !

likely it will be fast compensated by much lower hotel prices, just the same like in Thailand And if God forbid something happens it may not be a bad idea to have local insurance

at least they try to standardize whole decision making process which I like. Them both population and tourists know what goal is which it's much better than somebody's whim. Whether that standard itself makes much sense it's another matter.

hopefully they harness all that water so we will not hear about the drought in the spring

that would be second trip later in 2022

few inconveniences but I bet it beats sitting all that time at home, right? News about scene being dead seem to be greatly exaggerated as your adventures attest. Have fun !!!

don't exaggerate. Bring a book, few sandwiches, buy a tea of coffee aboard , even if for 5 euros it will not break the bank. As for luggage learn to travel light and problem solved. Charge your device at the airport while waiting for boarding. I'd be more concerned about leg room than those small inconveniences you mentioned. But that's me perhaps

Bangkok doesn't need any campaign as it's already world class destination. Pattaya has it's reputation worldwide so government probably doesn't want to make too much noise about her as not to invite nasty backlash. While Bangkok may be but when comes to Pattaya very few people worldwide other than gay themselves is thinking of Pattaya as gay destination. Her fame is owed to straights, we just tagged along.

I consider myself drinker but honestly I don't see any problem if I can't drink in the bar as long as one can purchase bottle or three in 7/11 and the like. Closing entertainment venues bites much more but as Z909 noted above we have choice of going somewhere else or getting as much as possible form situation as it is.

What do you mean ?, that's God sent, instead wasting time getting drunk past midnight grab the boy and have real fun with him in your room till morning. It's called Long Time. All we need now is ground report from somebody who arrived recently as residents may have different perspective at things. So far 10tazione reported from Phuket few days ago he is happy that he braved himself and arrived.

no, it's travel deprivation. It will go away as soon as you will line up for check in at the airport

but it doesn't mean boys evaporated, guy hunting may be actually more exciting

I took your advice and watched episode 1, not much action yet as It's too early but worth watching already for the sake of yummy and colorful Thai food although they did not cook chicken with cashew nuts yet

I liked it. Did you watch till very end , past payroll ? There's short scene at the very , very end, no more hanging after that I guess with that final wink

For those , like me, who like Max/Tul here's a link to short , a bit propagandist film with them and actress playing Yiwha in the Together With Me series. Not BL, message is uplifting , movie is short and we have a chance to meet those again ( and glimpse at Tul's biceps and knees n few occasions) . by the way there are rumors started by no one less than Tul in one interviews that Max and Tul are starting new project in 2022

it looks that as 1st step government decided to open country to non-bar frequenting tourists first giving others 2 1/2 months to sober up

so it looks bars when they open in January will be properly staffed
