If october is the date to look forward to, i just hope similar or earlier date are also allowed for my country as well, of course without the mandatory 14 days quarantine. Perhaps it can be my birthday gift as well.

Over here, at least in my company, most of us are working from home. If we were to take unoaud leave for personal reason, our annual leaves remaning for the year will be prorated based on the amount of days we have worked. For example, if you have total 12 days annual leave, and have worked 4 month, and started your unpaid leave from month 5 onward, you only have 4 days of annual leave to use.

I just googled this incident when it happened and only found out that it happened in nigthclub. But after reading your post, i googled again and it has blown up to a slew of homophobic reportings by korean media as this were tied to gay club and sauna in Itaewon and gangnam. Being a still conservative country on homosexuality, now korean faces difficulty to contain the virus as people are afraid to come forward as this will exposed their sexuality to family and company they work with and consequences of it just too much to bear that some claimed it can or has lead to suicide. Also written on the article i read that the gov failed to contact over 3000+ of the club goer, which were given to them by the clubs. Its disturbing but the truth is when we isolate or condemning a part of a group, regardless of reason (sexuality, illegal immigrants, cult/religion) to the point that they had to pretend or go to hiding in fear of exposure, at time of crisis, itll come back at bite us. In several countries now, foreign workers turns out to be one of the center point of virus outbreak, mostly in much later stages as a second or third waves because we initially ignored them, favoring tests to our own citizen first. Now when it is found that many of them tested positive, and were living in dorms or small apartments with 15-20 pax in a place, it becomes very hard to trace the close contact in this situation. And of course the illegal ones will try their best to avoid the authority and run or hide, further make it more difficult to contain it. Korean media in the incident above plays huge role as some even releasing names and companies where the positive patient work at in the media, further fueling rage amongst the citizen and increase fear of getting tested by the club goers and this vicious cycle will only spells trouble. My own country is guilty of this too, and if this happened here, i cant say similar thing will not happened here which is sad. Lets hope the gov there will step in and do the right thing.

This guy is definitely not there when i went there in december/january earlier this year.

In my country, non compliance to SOP for social distancing and cleaning by businesses which are expected to enforce it to their customer will risk closure of the business, even if they are essential businesses and this has happened multiple times since our first lockdown in mid march. Im pretty sure thailand can also practise the same. A surge in number of new cases in an area, will result in a strict wuhan style lockdown (metal wires all around, all businesses is prohibited, no in and out the area, and food will be provided by the gov) for at least 14 days, more if new cases still popping up and all citizen locked down inside will be tested. We have had 8 areas so far that had been placed in such lockdown, with the latest is added just few days ago, related to a wet market and the surrounding.

By sound its pretty much similar. In between ache and egg sound i think.

Malaysia has opened up almost all businesses except entertainment, education and several other high risks businesses and activities on 4th May. Today, our gov just announced current practise will continue till 9th June, and interstate travelling is still not allowed, except for this 4 days weekend, where one way interstate travel by batches were allowed for those stucked at other places other than their own home. In the mean time, we also have areas where a strict lockdown (no one in and out) in several high risk area where there has been recent cluster of new cases happening, as well as mass testing our foreign workers. Crucial time now to see if what our gov is doing is good enough as finding balance between economy and health is what they are trying to achieve. Travel restriction (14 days quarantine at center or hotels only for returning citizen) is still in place and no talks at all about when itll be lifted so far. I guess only when there is enough countries in the world managed to control the spread, only then travel restriction will be discussed. And for South east region, indonesia and philliphines will be the benchmark especially a lot of their citizens are working in various other countries in the region.

Whats left that is still not allowed to open after this round of easing? Concerts, sports events and traveling i supposed. Im surprised that seminar, conventions, amusement and water park is included as well as these has been one of the crowded places with high chances of spreading the virus with high turnover of people coming from various location nationwide (and worldwide once they ease travelling). Glad to see thailand is opening up faster than i imagine.

Jacky is the name of the photgrapher i think?

Biceps on his right, durian on his left, how can i ever choose lol. But nothing beats thai smile that u can see through the mask. And for comparison, thai smile without mask below lol

Hey, didnt know u are using twitter now? Hehe

Not really undressing but my favorite pic of him!

I wonder if opening a durian will be an act in gogo bar after this lol 10000000_138665011054324_3823909975999839085_n.mp4

Now that i see his face without the mask, my favorite person goes back to sarawut maranrod lol. Yup, the left most guy is the guy is the unknown model before.

My second favorite guy is sarawut maranrond,the second guy from right. But below on the right is my favorite guy, sadly i dont know his name.

The one on extreme left is called Nattawat Niyomkarn. Ok thats all the names i know lol

That guy's name is nattaphol phongphasathorn.

Just a teaser of the men selling the durian. The store is called Bsamfruit durian delivery in chiangmai. One of the model name is sarawut maranrond (for those who want to do more research lol) Link to the face book page

His recent posts shows that after he left moonlight, or maybe due to lockdown, he lose more muscle/weight and to my eyes, downgraded to more twink look now. Maybe an upgrade to someone else though hehe.

I know what you meant. Just me rambling because my country is in the list and logic thinking or not, they have full authority to allow or disallow anyone from entering their country. Lets hope they dont relax their current measures now prematurely and risk a second round of lockdown, thus making prostect of any of us to return to LOS as earlier goes to none.

If there are thinking to open up their border and lift ban on travel, they really need to do it properly, and of course as it gets closer to the lift, the better, as what they decided now might no longer be valid in few weeks or months later.

Well, most countries are blanket banning travel anyway, so i see this exercise to choose which countries to be classed as high risk is futile to say the least. Time would be better spent in tackling internal issues rather than worry which country is high risk or low risk as it doesnt take much for the virus to spread. But if you really feel its necessary to do it now, do it properly and based it on active cases.

Yes. Death accident is not contagious. Covid-19 is. And we have seen much wealthier countries with much better healthcare being overwhelm by covid-19 and death counts were in ten of thousands because they didnt shut down their economy early enough. Thailand death toll is low because they of this, and they will continue to do all they can to avoid being the next USA (used to be italy, and before that, wuhan)

There are two ways i can think of to contain the virus while still partially allowing some area to be functioning. One, allow green area, (where no new cases in 14 days) to function as normal, but restrict travelling only within green area. Basically this will involved full lockdown on areas that is not green. Whether this is feasible or not, its another story. Second mass testing of all the provinces that are still having new cases. By doing this, those who are positive can be isolated hence spreading can be stopped. Again, not many countries can do this. We know enough that asymptomatic person can be tested positive, and they might still able to spread the virus, so again, just temperature screening wont do. Mass testing will help for sure.

The only sure fireway to contain imported cases is 14 days quarantine after arrival as some people who tested positive shows no symptoms, which render temperature screening less successful, and some even tested negative first but later on tested positive during quarantine. Malaysia had started to isolate returning citizens in quarantine centers few weeks ago and more than 50 were in fact positives, but many not showing symptoms as they are young students from various countries, mainly indonesia though. Singapore recent hike in cases are majority from work permit holder living in dormitaries, making the country highest total case in SE Asia in matter of days. Due to this, malaysia is now mass testing our own pool of foreign workers,with recent full lockdown area in KL where 15k of residents will be tested. Now, i wonder if thailand will follow suit and mass testing their foreign workers as well. Social distancing is an ideal case but tell me if you lives in a dorm room along with 10 others, how efective will it be. Social distancing is a luxury some people cant afford. I know i sounded negative, i too want borders to be opened as soon as possible, but not in the expense of breaking out happening again and we repeat the cycle of lockdown all over again. One lockdown is bad enough.
