and it's only for Americans to repair it. Nobody will invade her or put on embargo to make USA in desired shape so unfortunately country can't taste medicine it's prescribing to others

When will Thailand open to Tourists- question/speculation?

Possible, after all there's saying ' never waste a good crisis ". I know what I'm talking about as years ago I bought my condo at tail end of recession. Seller was happy that he received ANY offer -

their priority is not to let virus into country and nothing wrong with that. Place where they are lost is how to stick to that priority and keep economy humming along before idle masses will get desperate. -

I'm shocked.(kidding ) I wouldn't either. Maintaining visa free or at least easy to obtain regimes is key to tourism and this is known from at least 60-ties -
watching some of BL series I noticed scenes of guy or guys riding motorsai without helmet and wondered what kind of signal it sends to young viewers. That is cool ? On another hand I recall scene from Dark Blue Kiss of guy giving a lift to a girl , handling her helmet and saying 'my girl safety in my first priority". Looked naturally and yet piece of useful propaganda. Em in "I'm your king SS2 " has very impressive helmet and has spare one for his guests. If they can sneak products placement in the plots , why not use same approach for road safety ?. I'm sure helmet manufacturers would chip in. Other scenes which may help is one guy helping other one with seat belt and in the process lips are getting closer and closer . Hot and still carrying subtly safety message

what should count it's not number of covid deaths but excess deaths over yearly average. Countries are using different methodology of classifying deaths covid related. Some are under reporting to calm population and for propaganda reasons , other are over reporting because of financial incentives ( treating covid patients may be more lucrative ). It looks that virus calmed many things down along with economies, no mass shooting in USA I guess is one of benefits. I live by busy highway and and one thing seems certainly greatly reduced- sound of ambulances and traffic jams related to accidents, at least on my stretch.

I finished both seasons of "I'm your king", like with "Moons' and "Moons2" completely different plot and set of actors so treat it as two different series with similar tittle. Somebody recommended it above but I did not like it much. Action all over and long periods of "nothing happens at the moment" But I liked character of Em and found bed scene in Episode 5 of second season both romantic and hot.

it's Ok , we will find another hobby

While I agree with Michael, Firecat and all others that Thai government did very good job containing virus along with few governments in a region I wonder to what degree that success is result of organizational skills and discipline of population and what part of that containment is result of pure luck i.e. population being earlier exposed to similar type of virus. Serious question and I'm sure that it will be answered after all that dust settles.

you don't understand anything , virus is imported while sadly , traffic fatalities are 100 % domestic enterprise

and so does North Korea if on top of stopping people flow they would stop foreign pensions flow, chances are you were not as enthusiastic ( no idea my assumption about you being foreign pensioner is correct but even if not in your case, there are many who are in that situation and sharing your opinion )

For last few years I'm using plastic Birkenstocks. Discovered them by accident and I'm not planning to change to anything else sandals-wise. I already stocked 3 pairs for future use. Very sturdy, excellent profiled support for the foot, very light and obviously drying very fast. so good as much for walking around as for shower if one is concerned about cleanliness of shower's floor. No strap around the heel though

thank you for a good laugh, what a relief to be able to stroll along hotel's corridor after only 7 days of enclosure. -
Because of too many unknowns ( which of course may change either way on short notice ) I decided that best way to escape winter cold is to crank up the heat at home. Destinations I'm interested in are either closed or heavily restricted and going somewhere just for a sake of going is not my cup of tea even if I agree with floridarob that living in a shelter is wasting some of time we have left. Luckily my last Jun's unused ticket validity was extended till end of 2021 of course providing Lufthansa will still exist.

I can't care less but if I was person in question I'd be mightily upset. Even long time visitors have their plans and such abrupt delay coupled with lousy explanation may leave bitter taste. I think it's wise to wait out all those 'special ' treatments and travel when regular regime will be back in force. Only hope is that they learn not to invent wheel again but oil one already existing while putting it back to careful use i.e. let fucking tourists in, one by one or plane load by plane load and see what happened. When they opened schools where I live 1 month ago there were prophesies of incoming Armageddon and pupils dying like flies. 1 month later , with few glitches here and there it seem to be almost normal with school buses blocking streets all the same like in glory pre-virus days.
