good to know but it's best to leave to scientists IN THE FIELD to explore this option. Who knows , it may work

Russians, like many others went to Greece and Turkey because restrictions were manageable and minimal, no sandboxes, no tests, just show proof of vaccination and you can go where you want all the way from Istanbul to Kars. What is so hard to TAT to understand?

I wonder why they wait till 24th instead of releasing them now?

last year at this time we were all full of praise how Thailand is doing well handling covid. Now it turns is was easy handling something which wasn't there at first place. But to be honest, which government is handling covid really well ? Everywhere it looks like 'try and see" and luck or lack of it mixture

I was first !

make it October, I still have unused ticket from last year

Perhaps Abbott thinks Texas is overpopulated?

I see suitable candidates, specially one in black west sitting under F BDR sign

in order to move capital there's no need to built whole new city. Existing one can be utilized for the purpose. If Washington DC get under water , centrally located Frankfort , Kentucky is waiting, Capitol building already ready and any house can be painted white to serve as White House. Burmese generals could utilize Mandalay and Thailand can be run out of Chiang Mai if needs arises

because they in fact are working. They may have fun a a bonus but that may apply, in right circumstances , to any job. My father used to say that prostitution is work like any other and at least there's no dust

Now we can see foresight of some bar owners relocating from ground level of soi Twilight to 2nd floors on Patpong 2. It'll be quite romantic to go to HotMale by gondola

Sometimes it's very hard but yes , I'm.

who said it must be by force ? USSR's army and all those nukes did not prevent it's dissolution, Czechoslovakia had 'velvet divorce", China ma have 'velvet marriage" at one point

what about Taiwan absorbing mainland , not other way around ? After all Taiwan's official name is Republic of China

Just watched last, the 8th episode. Final episode a bit oversentimental and overdramatic at the same time but overall I liked series quite a lot. Sun is most manly man from all BL series released this year so far. Very unique exploitation of real life problem - rare blood type. After a while I may be tempted to watch it again, badge of honor as far as me and BL series are concerned

I would but who will benefit then ? Only said struggling and homeless , not appointed councilors

Cuban sanctions are most idiotic of them all, only giving excuse to the regime to blame them for all ills. Let's be honest , when was last time Cuba posed threat to USA and their interests? It's just vote getter for Florida constituencies As for Iran , your impressions mirrors mine. Western propaganda , twin sister of Eastern one makes us afraid to venture there and when we finally brave it , we find country exactly as you described.

my experience with Thai drug prices is quite opposite, much cheaper than at home and no prescription required. Earlier this year Thailand pharmacies played life saver for my nephew as certain epilepsy drug was not available neither in his nor in my country but with help of friend , Thai resident, we managed to obtain it in BKK over the counter and cost , even with DHL shipment , was quite reasonable

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
