Hope our friends over there are doing ok. Myanmar woke to the news on Monday that the military was seizing control of the country. "I guess I'll be live tweeting a coup now," former Reuters journalist Aye Min Thant wrote on Twitter shortly before 07:00 local time (00:30 GMT). "Things are still pretty quiet for now, though people are awake and scared. I've been fielding calls since 6am from friends and relatives. The internet is in and out and my sim card no longer works." The takeover was announced in a statement aired on a military-owned television station . It said the top army commander was in charge and a one-year state of emergency had been declared. The country's civilian leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, had been detained, along with other members of her National League for Democracy (NLD) party. Link

On the other hand, New Zealand says they wont open border until majority of their citizen is vaccinated, which i believed the more realistic way to view it.

I came upon this book titled "Thai for gay tourist" and wondering if anyone have read it.

My take on bar closure is due to 1) most people would not wear masks since u need your mouth to drink, same with restaurants, thus high risk of exposure. 2) Alcohol impared judgment, which mihht led to not following rule/SOP social distancing etc. Agreed that some bars or some restaurant that serves alcohol can have similar effect but as anddy pointed out, to control the mass, blanket restriction on the bar which have higher risks is easier for the gov to do. Plus, it also play well with their religion too, where alcohol prohibition is a norm.

Thailand to warmly welcome inoculated travellers Foreigners who have been vaccinated against Covid-19 will be welcomed with open arms by Thailand through a new campaign set to launch in 3Q2021. Titled Welcome Back to Thailand Again, the campaign is the country’s bid to reclaim lost international arrivals throughout the pandemic. According to Chamnan Srisawat, president of Tourism Council of Thailand, Thai travel operators have started talks with agencies in potential markets, such as China, to restart destination marketing and prepare for future trips. More than one billion people across the world are expected to be vaccinated by the end of June 2021, which could bring about a return in travel demand. If the campaign proves successful, it could save up to 400,000 hotel jobs and 400,000 in related businesses across Thailand. In 2020, 6.9 million foreigners travelled to Thailand, down from 40 million in 2019. It is predicted that Thailand will only see 10 million footfalls this year. Source

Is that a backdoor?

Im having a hard time to imagine how two person able to cycle it with that chair. There is a reason why the bicycle have "butt-hurting" small seats.

Back home, im a creature of habit. I usually stick with few regulars and only venture a diff guy when my regulars not around, with few exception if i saw some hottie suddenly came here. When in thailand, i usually will repeat one or two, while the rest usually a diff guy. I almost never took same guy two night in a row, with clear exception for those who travel with me. Back to my regulars, thailand or back home, i usually gave guys i like a second time even if the first time was not up to expectation, and almost always the second time was better. But there are one or two in the past that is not the case. One guy, both times was terrible, so no repeat after, and another, first time was actually great but second time (after quite a long period) wasnt as good. But in general, i find that guys appreciate repeat customers.

I assume the 150k includes lodging for the whole month?

Always horny

As much as i want all this to be true for the better future of americans, i do believe he will not go down easily. His millions follower will have to be dealt with too. His last few days leading up to inauguration day will be interesting to watch and see what will happened.

I had compromised once only by paying half the amount asked and the other half after the deeds is over, when asked to pay upfront before. Of course we were both already in the room. Turns out boys also had been duped before, where client didnt pay, or didnt have money or enough money with them, hence the request. Luckily it turns out great and we met few more times after, of course without the need to pay upfront. Ill never pay upfront before meeting though. Thats a telltale scam.

One way to start seeing this is if countries with high daily cases started to see the daily cases going down after enough people got vaccinated. That wont be anytime soon though. A quicker indicator is probably lower new cases amongs frontline workers. Whether thai gov want to use this as evidence, who knows.

As long as boys are still working on the app, i see the closure a non issue especially when we all face similar thing back home. However, over here, some of my regular masseur stopped working when the case are high. Of course these are the ones that are lucky enough to be able to afford not working for a period of time. Others cant afford to, so they are still working, and i really hope they will stay healthy. The regular massage center here still open, with strict regulations and SOP being observed like masks in communal area, masseurs have to wear mask, face cover and gloves, and of course the app and temperature check. The illegal ones operate with closed door, and are at risk of police raid. But there are not travel restriction here, not anymore anyway, as our gov decided we cannot afford to do that anymore.

Do i need baby oil to go with the kleenex?

From huge borders thai have amongst their neighbour to the lax of enforcement for border control of both thai and neighboring countries, to corrupt immigration officers taking tea money to allow border crossing illegally, it does seems impossible. My selfish self wish malaysia wouldve been as bad so that my favorite boys can come here to work (vietnamese, indonesian, thai) but nope, none have come nor brave enough to try. Malaysia thai border are also complicated with lots of jungle in between, though in recent news, illegals crossing both ways are mainly caught at sea. But yeah, border control has been complicated issues here as well, and our third wave which is still on going is believed due to illegals from indonesia and philippines came to the borneo state of Sabah by means of sea travel. When lockdown happened and legal way to enter has been blocked, it only make way to more people taking risk to cross illegally, especially during difficult time like now. Sadly, other neighboring countries arent doing so well either.

Great trip report! That hotel price near christmas and new year is unbelievable. The new hotel near prime definitely intrigued me, since i like my previous stay at nantra silom location but not fancy their cleanliness, and glass windows into the bathroom seals the deal for me lol. Never stayed in tarntawan myself but at 700+ baht, i wont hesitate to try too.

The virus couldve come from many places even if you stayed at home. Couldve come through delivery (food/mail/packages), couldve contracted while they went out for groceries, from someone visiting. Ive seen some of my friends initially even put his packages away for few days before opening during the peak of the outbreak in the states. And ive heard people first disinfecting their purchases right after opening it. Just to add, so far, 4 of my family members had close encounter to this virus. 1 works in healthcare, had to take the test 3 times already. 2 had to work in office, and their colleague were tested positive, so they had to get the test. All of them luckily tested negative. The last one was just this morning, had flu symptom so went for voluntary testing and waiting for result which is probably tomorrow. All of these happened within this month alone. So while the bus driver did over react, i am not surprised at all, especially when he needed to stay healthy to earn a living.

I guess thailand citizen have to wait loner for the vaccine, and indirectly, normal tourism wouldnt happened until then.

There are benefits to launch their own sattelite and i guess having a spaceship but using only 3billion baht (100m USD) isnt that too little? And itll take what they think 8 years. So how does that going to help them recover from the economic effct of this current pandemic?

Based on this notification on fb, seems like they are optimistic about reopening when covid restriction is over?

All of them say soft. Im curious what does soft means. Effeminate? If so, nothing weird about effeminate top? And then there is soft only? Or does soft mean light fun aka hj? So soft only mean no anal, soft top mean can do hj only, or anal top.

Some faces ive seen in a different spa list of boys.

Correct me if im wrong, but each image are 3 photos of the same boy right? Lol because of the first image the 3 photo looks diff with diff hairstyle etc, i get the confusion. But all the subsequent images are fairly similar photos lol. And only one name per image too.
