High/medium/low risk countries for travelling to Thailand
spoon replied to reader's topic in Gay Thailand
They just use daily cases without factoring population. Any countries that is more than 5000 daily cases is high risk. At least thats what i understand from the original thai language lists. It has 4 different lists, so im not sure what other criteria they use, maybe for the laat 14 days average etc. -

Thailand's History and Culture: Why Gayness Remains a Stigma for Many
spoon replied to PeterRS's topic in Gay Thailand
I can say from my observation, not much diff between say 20 years back than now. Shiah has always been banned, but i believed they are back by iran not saudi. Wahabi is new simply because it is also a new faction heavily backed by saudi. But these two, like u mention is minority, and hardly an issue with majority of us. I cant say we are moving in any direction with regards of our goverment stand with islam. The legal system has always been that sharia law is below the civil system, and cannot have laws that contradicts the civil system. -
Thailand's History and Culture: Why Gayness Remains a Stigma for Many

Lets see, ive not yet born 40 years ago but anyway. Blue boy closes already since the lockdown. So is gtower divine bliss. Anyway, during current lockdown, all bars are closed anyway and i dont go to bars here so i cant provide anymore detail. But i do see some MB (money boys) that goes to zouk bar before covid. Pre-lockdown, sauna also still very active, but covid did brings down some sauna that i heard were permenantly closed. Not sure if we will see they open up again post covid. Massage precovid was open albeit on the down low. Some continue to open during covid time but recently several centers were raided. The raids are mainly focused on licensing, breach of Covid restriction and immigration, but the media of course capitalize the fact that the center serve gay clients. Pictures of masseurs (blurred faces) were publish in FB, and comments on the post is not something i wish to read. Nevertheless, if i want a massage, there are still options available. MB were active in grindr pre-covid, with healthy streams of indonesian MBs that comes using the visa free option and stay here 2-3 weeks at a time. There are also those from thailand, nepal, myanmar MBs too, mostly from those who uses to work in different area and change profession. Some are also holder of UNCHR. Occassionally we have western MBs/rentmen visiting. Covid time, this has significantly reduced. Hope itll return back to normalcy next year. Politcally, i dont see any changes soon. We have activists but they are hiding behind HIV/STI causes, rather than specifically for Gay. In social media, those transgender ones are the one being subjected to attack or ridicule since they are accused of not respecting the religion beliefs. One famous case recently is Sajat, an enterpreneur who is in hiding now after failing to attend her court day where she was charged of insulting the religion for dressing like a women in a religious event she sponsor. But she is an influencer and a damn good entepreneur, and people are buying her products despite of this. There are few more of these. We have siti kasim, a lawyer who always support lgbt+ right, safiey illias, another transgender influencer. Anyway, other than these few cases, if it happens in private, no one cares, not even the gov. While there is laws in about sodomy inherited from the old colonial law, it is not enforced. But we have a separate religious court and only applicable to muslim. So gays from other religion here dont really have any legal issues being gay here, other than the bully and discriminationa from their close community/relatives/friends -
Only reason i can think of is the one who make the list really like that #17 or really hate #18 lol

I think theyll be opening as long as they reach 70%. I guess farang will be in the 30% who will have to wait for the vaccine. -

To simplify things, do u mean thai culture accepting trans but not gay? Man-kathoey relationship is accepted as long as the kathoey is adopt a women lifestyle and traits, aka trans?. -

Where in this world u dont find homophobic of some sort? As long as its different that what they think is normal, these bully will discriminate and condemn. Some countries have laws against this but doesnt stop it from happenning though. While the system or rules helps a bit, tolerance is hugely individuals. -
The 5 criteria listed above, will one of the criteria enough to trigger closure or all 5?

Expats are included in Thailand’s vaccination plan
spoon replied to TotallyOz's topic in Gay Thailand
It couldve goes the other way around too, meaning one dose doesnt gives protection and cases goes up since people let their guard down, so much so that instead of giving some protection to many, they give not enough protection to most. And instead, they might need to give those who delayed their second dose additional boosters. But yeah, we all glad it goes well and now many countries follow suit to address the supply shortage -

I recalled UK was heavily criticized when they decided to vaccinate majority of the people with one dose first, against the AZ trial 2nd dose at 3 weeks. Turns out the efficacy is better at 12 weeks, and many countries now follow suit. And whats more important is one dose of AZ also gave a very reasonable protection at above 70%. I think other countries are delaying 2nd dose of diff type of vaccines too but too lazy to research. At least one of my friend in a diff country are getting his 2nd dose date nuch later than the recommended 3 weeks for pfizer. -
In addition, the Phuket sandbox tourism model could be paused on short notice if infections spike to 90 cases per week. Lol This alone is enough to make me not book anything yet.

Thanks. I guess i need to get it in writing that my insurance does cover covid. It does have worldwide coverage as long as im not staying more than 90 consecutive days overseas, and the company also have thailand presence.
-
So one must take the insurance with the thai gov? Most insurance here already include covid-19 as part of coverage, so if your annual limit is above usd100k, it fits the criteria.
-
Looks like no requirement for covid insurance?

Going out of your comfort zone in selecting guys
spoon replied to floridarob's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
When the picking is slim, ill be very flexible. But when im spoil with choices, like when im in bangkok, ive never regretted my decision to pick my ideal hunks lol. My tolerance of bullshit does increases when the guy is super hot lol But yes, i agree, the one that is not so popular tend to gives you better experience as they believe they need to work harder?
