Gay Thai Drama / Thai BL stories
The Player I also enjoyed this one! Not a BL series, but still pretty gay and many actors we know from BL series. Does this wisdom sound familiar? With all those cute delivery guys in Thailand I would like to know the answer too... Good question ...

Gay Thai Drama / Thai BL stories
I absolutely love this series. One of the best stuff they produced so far! I wasn't sure if we should call it a BL series or not, but as it turns out it is clearly a BL and it even follows the rule that a BL couple never comes alone. All this embedded in a very modern action series background. As usual, the pre-ultimate episode is highly dramatic, but here it is more about life/death or prison/free, not just couple or not. Can't wait for the last episode. Full of social criticism. In the BL universe I would give them 6 out of 5 stars, but how did they manage to get an IMDB-rating of 9.9?

Mahanakhon Skywalk closed for renovation
Apparently a hotel will open in the Mahanakhon Tower. https://www.hospitalitynet.org/announcement/41007610.html The "renovations" have to do with the hotel, told me the cashier.

Skip Thailand, CDC Advises
I am pretty sure you will enjoy! If the country of your insurance has a travel warning against Thailand, insurances like to not pay a single Baht, so better read the smallprint of your insurance policy. And don't forget the waterproof facemask for songkran

Remembering
Your english must be good!

Songkran to go ahead...but
Mandatory waterproof face masks are the solution!

Silom hotel offering fast Day 1 test
i mean windows yes, but cant be opened. I also prefer to breath some fresh air from the outside, with those air cons you never know where the air is coming from.

Silom hotel offering fast Day 1 test
Some hotels use hospital drive through, you arrive at the airport, driver drives you to hospital, winds down the window, the nurse sticks the stick through the window into your nose, you don't even need to get out of the car. Saves a lot of time. 56 Surawong Hotel uses this method with Piyavate Hospital, result came within 6 hours. No food choice, no windows that can be opened, but ok for 6 hours. (I heard).

Gay Thai Drama / Thai BL stories
Shockingly, I have seen them all! One day I want to rewatch "Dark Blue Kiss", if there is time. Currently watching: "Not Me", great so far! "The Player", this is not a BL, but a real Thai Drama full of intrigues around sex and sexual orientation. I love it! With many actors we know from the BL series. "Something in my room": This is the only real BL series I am currently watching. The ghost is cute!

Govt mulls resuming 'Test & Go"
Finding out the current rules is not always easy. One would need to be able to read the laws in original language. As for the close contact in planes, tatnews-FAQs have an answer. https://www.tatnews.org/entry-thailand-frequently-asked-questions/ They say this information comes from the public health ministry as of Jan 19, 2022. High-Risk Contact (HRC) Definitions of close contact of probable/confirmed case of COVID-19. Close contact is defined as a person who has had interactions with a confirmed or probable case of COVID-19 both on the illness onset or 1-2 days prior. However, for asymptomatic patients; a day of receiving positive test result is counted, and they have to reach these criteria as follow: • Close contact or a person having conversation with the patient within 2-metre distance for more than 5 minutes; or being coughed or sneezed on by a patient. • Those who are in an enclosed space without proper ventilation, e.g. in the same air-conditioned bus or room as the patient, for more than 30 minutes. Close Contact Person or probable/confirmed cases can be divided into two groups: 1: High-risk contact is defined as a close contact as mentioned above and did not wear personal protective equipment (PPE). 2: Low-risk contact is defined as a close contact who is less likely to contract or transmit the virus with the patient. This includes close contacts who have not met the definition for high-risk close contact. They are suggested to undergo self-monitoring and follow universal prevention. If experience respiratory symptoms, must undergo ATK . *In the event of asymptomatic infection, the date the patient has tested positive for the virus should be considered the date of illness onset. Definitions of travel-related High-Risk Contact (HRC) person. 1: Domestic transportation • Passengers on board the same vehicle/flight who is being coughed or sneezed on by a probable/confirmed case. • Passengers who travel in the same group. • Passenger on the same plane, who is close proximity to and sitting next to the case (left and right seats), or being close contact within 1 metre-without a mask more than 5 minutes. • In case of large vehicles such as train, doubledecker bus, and ferry, only passengers in the same car or deck and do not wearing a face mask for more than 5 minutes. • All drivers and attendants in the same section who do not wear face mask for more than 5 minutes. In case of flight attendants, just only who is on duty at the same section. 2: International transportation • Passengers on board the same flight who sit next to probable/confirmed case (left and right) or one who is being close contact within 1 metre-without a mask more than 5 minutes. • Flight attendants in the same section who do not wear face mask for more than 5 minutes. Guidelines and measures for High-Risk Contact (HRC) person • Undergo home quarantine for 7 days and self-monitoring for 3 days. In addition, ATK will be done 2 times; Day 5-6 and Day 10. • Take temperature check for 10 days after the day of last contact with the confirmed case. • Protect themselves and people around them by separating themselves from others, frequently washing hands and wearing face mask. • After completion of 7 days home quarantine, they are asked to follow strictly the Universal prevention and avoid going to crowded places or communities for 3 days. • If HRC experience respiratory symptoms, must undergo ATK immediately, if having positive result, must redo on a couple of days and contact official.

Govt mulls resuming 'Test & Go"
Philippines currently has the problem that there are not reasonable flights, at least from Europe. Cambodia allegedly has still the policy that if one person on a flight is tested positive, all passengers have to quarantine - at least they said that in a youtube channel that is regularly reporting about Cambodia - too risky for my taste now with Omicron. I hope its not true - does anyone have facts?

BKK Test n Go
Currently you can't immediately transfer from BKK to Chaing Mai: I saw 1 or 2 Hotels near the Airport on Agoda, who offer a Test&Go for Day 1.

Thai Pass
I didn't mean the "fit to fly certificate", I was referring to the wording "Medical Certificate with a laboratory result indicating that COVID-19 is not detected, using RT-PCR method" which often was used but now seems to be more and more replaced by "negative RT-PCR test result".
-
Thai Pass
Question to those who came to Thailand in the last months via Test&Go about the pre-departure covid test: Did you just have a laboratory result or did you have a separate medical certificate? That "medical certificate" cost me extra 30$ and I want to avoid that cost next time if not really necessary.

Silom bars
331 Baht BKK versus 336 Baht Phuket, I guess that explains why taxi fares in Phuket are double as high as in BKK

Silom bars
ส่วนแบ่งดื่ม = "drink share" (not hair share) = ??? share for each boy drink 150? พนักงานต้อนรับชาย = "male welcome staff" = receptionist, ??? could also mean host boy? ค่ารถ = "car fare" = travelling expense, ??? 200/day for coming to the bar?

Govt mulls resuming 'Test & Go"
According to the Thaiger, "The CCSA also announced that the compulsory insurance policies will need to cover ALL contingencies if you happen to test positive, including your additional accommodation costs". I assume that currently no such insurance policy exists yet? I hate insurance companies. I have an annual travel health insurance that covered all I needed for my last visit to Thailand, but it was impossible to get a confirmation that clearly states the coverage in a way the CCSA asked for. Not having the time to experiment with Thailand Pass rejections I decided to buy the Thai one recommended by the embassy.

this is the "boybox model" (7d) or "boy & go" (1d)

Govt mulls resuming 'Test & Go"
If I didnt mishear it, the CCSA said in the "Thailand daily Covid update on January 19 2022" that tomorrow (thursday 20) there will be made decision about easing restrictions as well as resuming Test&Go. So soon we should know more.

3 more flying farangs
All I know he is standing on the wrong balcony! And if it is all about center of gravity, Isaan guys are pretty save on any balcony. Please excuse the inappropriate humour in this thread.

The sky is falling
Real covid figures must be pretty high now in Thailand - just judging from the fact that Gmmtv is posting almost every day on Instagram that one of their actors got tested positive. So hopefully this will be over soon.

Gay Thai Drama / Thai BL stories
I started watching "Not me", highly promising series including some social critisism. Not sure yet if it is a real BL series, but with Off-Gun as main leads what else could it be? Nice to see Off in the role of a "tough guy". The sound track reminds me of "Theory of Love".

Gay Thai Drama / Thai BL stories
Finished watching Baker Boys (2021) and I loved it. Pretty weird crime story but very entertaining! Awesome sweets, this series made me truly become a diabetic: This is Pooh, Punns clumsy bodyguard. One of the 4 main characters (but I thought his role is just a bit too stupid): This is Weir, played by Singto, charming as always, but still not my favorite. Even though he is very dominant in the series, it is not a BL series: This is Punn, the owner of the Cafeteria, played by Lee Thanat. Cute, and some forum members fall for his clear pronunciation, but he is still not my favorite: Finally my favorite, Krating, played by Pluem Purin, would love to see him in a real BL series: And a few more pictures ... Who could say no to this offer?
